Chima is a floating island within the Wyldness. It is primarily covered in jungles, mountains, and swamps, which are inhabited by various species of anthropomorphic animals.

History

Prior to the series

At an unknown point in time, Chima came into existence alongside the rest of the Wyldness.

Long before the present-day tribes of Chima came to be, the Wyldness was decimated by the Wolf Clan, led by the Forbidden Five and later a misguided Argus. Despite the Wolf Clan's rampage essentially dooming the realm to a state of diseased limbo, Chima and its prehistoric inhabitants were spared from the Wolf Clan's conquest and curse upon the realm due to its remote location in the Wyldness' sky.

Curseworld, Part II

While Morro and Lloyd traversed dimensions during their battle for the Realm Crystal, they landed atop Chima's Spiral Mountain where Laval, Cragger, and their friends were sitting. Laval inquired what they were doing there, but Morro ushered them away to another realm before the two could reply.

Between seasons

Chima, along with the rest of the Wyldness, was presumably attacked by the Oni. The people of Chima fought them, but eventually they were all turned to stone. However the effects reversed when the ninja defeated the Oni in Ninjago.

The Kaiju Protocol

While trying to reach the ninja in the Never-Realm, Wu and P.I.X.A.L. open a portal to Chima, unleashing a group of Beavers on them. They return to their home realm after P.I.X.A.L distracts them with a broken broom they want to fix.

Appearance

Chima is a massive, floating island hovering above the Wyldness. It is mostly comprised of jungles, swamps, and a few deserts. Chima is generally a warm and tropical place, with ice and snow being considered a phenomenon due to the warm climate.

In the middle of Chima is a floating mountain known as Mount Cavora, which is the source of Chi, liquid energy that can be harnessed for a near-infinite amount of different uses. In the skies is the Mother Sun, a mysterious being whose actions led to the creation of the land. Located near a lake is a stone known as the Forever Rock, a former hiding place for one of the Fire Harnesses and above an entrance to one of the other realms.

LEGO.com description

One of the 16 parallel realms connected to the NINJAGO world, Chima is a world filled with intelligent, talking animals capable of walking on two legs. The various tribes have access to a surprisingly high level of technology and rely on a power source called CHI. It was the site of an epic battle between two alliances over the control of CHI, until other threats forced the warring sides to make peace and work together.

Trivia

The Trivia on Chima needs to be organized. You can help the wiki by organizing the following information chronologically based on how the information applies to the series. This template can be removed once the section has been organized.

• The Mother Sun is similar to The Preeminent in that both are female deities that have an apparent control over their respective realms and are masters of a large group of beings with unique, distinct powers. Additionally, neither The Preeminent nor Mother Sun is seen talking within the show.

• The footage of Chima seen in "Curseworld, Part II" is edited stock footage from "Ravens vs. Eagles," the fifteenth episode of Legends of Chima's first season. In the Ninjago version, Laval and Cragger stop moving after Laval says "Where'd you guys come from?", while in the original episode, Laval and Cragger have more lines directly after that.
• A Beaver from Legends of Chima is seen at the beginning of "Ninjago Confidential" and at Nya's memorial on "The Turn of the Tide".
• According to Tommy Andreasen, the First Spinjitzu Master may have brought the Serpentine from Chima. One hint at this is the blue orb on Pythor's chest. Chris "Doc" Wyatt later confirmed that they are from the Wyldness, but now it's unclear if they are related to Chima island or have been living in the other part of the realm.
  • The creators of Legends of Chima specifically did not include snakes in the TV series because there were already snake people in Ninjago.
  • According to Tommy Andreasen, in addition to the original inhabitants of Chima, Serpentine can also use CHI.
• Jay once erroneously had a page on the Legends of Chima LEGO.com website.

Nya's phoenix symbol on the one of the Phoenix Temple walls, as seen in the episode "Cool and Collected"

• Nya's original phoenix symbol is present at the Phoenix Temple. It's unknown if this is a meaningless Easter egg or a hint at a deeper connection.
• Ninjago and Legends of Chima exist as fictional worlds within Nexo Knights, another LEGO theme. See here for further explanation.
• The TV series was animated by M2Film, the same studio that animated the early Ninjago set commercials.
• Tommy Andreasen once wrote a crossover short based on the two shows, but it was never produced. This would have been the story, as described by Andreasen: "Jay was watching Chima on TV. Dreamed about an adventure with Eris. Other ninja and animals showed up. Spinjitzu vs Chi." "It was a misunderstanding. But there was Chi powered Spinjitzu." "But then [Jay] called Nya Eris by mistake and made her mad."
• The realm passageway under the Forever Rock is only known by the Phoenixes and possibly Eris. However, members of the Wolves or Ravens such as Worriz and Razar would likely be the ones to use the passageway if they found it.
• Tommy Andreasen said "The Phoenix were the masters of fire." This implies they were connected to the elemental power of Fire.
  • In LEGO Dimensions, if the player lets Kai and Eris interact, they will start talking about how they feel the power of Fire in the other one.
• Two special edition sets, 5004076 Minifigure Gift Set and 5004077 2015 Minifigure Gift Set, contained both Ninjago and Legends of Chima minifigures.
• While Christmas does not exist in Ninjago, an extremely similar holiday exists in Chima, as seen in the webisode, "Merry Chima Everyone!"

• As recently revealed in San Diego Comic Con 2024, Chima will be seen again in Ninjago: Dragons Rising but not in the way fans will expect.
• When questioned if some characters from the Chima series will be featured, it was answered that there are characters that could make a potential appearance and that “they” want to honor Chima.
