Bytar is a Serpentine Warrior of the Constrictai tribe.
History[]
NOTE: Multiple instances of the same Serpentine characters appear simultaneously in the TV show in order to fill out the Serpentine ranks. As such, this article will note any major appearances of a Constrictai warrior, as well as group appearances where Bytar himself would likely appear.
Spellbound (flashback)[]
During the Serpentine Wars, a Constrictai warrior attacked Jamanakai Village with the other Serpentine, though he was defeated when the Master of Water used the water in a fountain to drench him.

The Snake King[]
Bytar, Chokun, and Snike, fought Kai, but Samurai X captured them, angering him. Later, the Serpentine boarded a bus to visit the City of Ouroboros, where they would watch the fight between Pythor and the other Serpentine Generals. Later, they watched the ninja "fight" Samurai X.
Tick Tock[]
The Serpentine await for Pythor to figure how to get the map that will lead them to the four Fangblades. When Pythor realizes the anti-venom in the Serpentine Staffs will reveal a map, they cheer.

LEGO.com description[]
Rank: Warrior
Bytar, along with the rest of the Constrictai, is all about the muscle.
He likes to work out but doesn't like to shower much, so he smells like a locker room full of old cheese sandwiches.
He's a brute force bully who will always win a tail wrestle against any Serpentine. And every burping, eating or snoring contest, for that matter. He'll eat and/or beat anything. Sometimes even in that order. He likes to take naps, or as he calls it "meditate on things."[link unavailable]
