Anacondrai invisibility is an ability that is used by the Anacondrai. While turning invisible, the arms and tail disappeared first, then the rest of the body. Markings, clothes, and weapons would stick around for a half-second and then disappear with the rest of the body. If the Anacondrai desired to do so, anything that they were holding could disappear also. When reappearing, the arms and tail would reappear first and then visibility would spread.
History[]
Never Trust a Snake[]
When Lloyd entered the Anacondrai Tomb, Pythor was invisible and turned visible only when he realized that the little boy was not a threat to him.
When the ninja infiltrate the Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys, Lloyd and Pythor escape to the roof of the building. When Jay corners them, Pythor takes the Map of Dens from Lloyd's pocket, before turning invisible and escaping with the map.
All of Nothing[]
The Serpentine catch the ninja and hold them in a cage in their underground fortress, giving them the opportunity to take over Ninjago. Because Lord Garmadon wants to be the one to take over Ninjago, he arrives with the Skeleton Army to attack the Serpentine. The ninja are able to escape the cage during the battle, and they catch Pythor and steal the Fangblades. However, Pythor turns invisible and gets away.
Later, when the ninja are celebrating aboard the Destiny's Bounty, Pythor reappears on the bridge, having slipped aboard during the battle.
The Rise of the Great Devourer[]
Lloyd attempts to hone his skills alone in the training room but is mocked by Pythor who appears before him. Pythor ties Lloyd to a punching bag then duct tapes his mouth shut so that he cannot warn the ninja about Pythor. He then turns invisible to move deeper into the ship.
The Curse of the Golden Master[]
After Dareth takes the schoolchildren towards the Electro-Cobrai exhibit at the aquarium, the stranger (who is later revealed to be Pythor) appears behind them. When the security guard notices him, he disappears again.
Pythor then appears in the exhibit, removing a lid and breaking the tank to collect the Electro-Cobrais for the Overlord, before escaping.
The Greatest Fear of All[]
Kapau and Chope turned invisible to sneak into Kryptarium Prison and later to escape with Pythor.
The Council of the Crystal King[]
When Lloyd was trying to escape the Crystal Council, Pythor turned invisible and grabbed him.
The Fall of the Monastery[]
Pythor turned invisible several times during the fight with Wu, Nya, Skylor, and P.I.X.A.L..
Dragon Form[]
As Kai fought Aspheera on the roof of the newspaper warehouse, Pythor attacked him using his invisibility and held captive by his tail until Jay flew over and restrained him. As Pythor turned invisible again to escape Jay's grasp, he uses Lightning to be forced to reveal himself and is able to purify his Nunchucks of Lightning.
Known users[]
Abilities[]
- Invisibility: The user can turn himself invisible according to his will. In addition unlike the elemental invisibility, Anacondrai invisibility allows the users to make objects disappear along with them. This is shown when Pythor disappeared with the Map of Dens[1] or with his staff,[2] when Pythor's clothes disappeared with him when he wore white robes to hide his identity[3] and when the Anacondrai Cultists' armor was invisible along with them.[4] However, Anacondrai can choose whether or not to turn it into an invisible object in their hands,[4] making this ability the most effective form of invisibility.
Weaknesses[]
- Exposure to electricity: If the user is exposed to shocks of Lightning while they are invisible, they will be shocked and forced to drop their invisibility, leaving them open to their opponents.[5]

Trivia[]
- The Anacondrai invisibility is loosely based on the chameleon's ability to camouflage itself.[6]
- For unknown reasons, Chen did not have the ability to turn invisible as an Anacondrai.[7] Skylor and Garmadon weren't shown to use the ability either.
- Although Ronin caught the invisible Cole using a thermal vision,[8] it would not work on the Anacondrai, as all the Serpentine are cold-blooded.
