Geckles are a tribe of rule-following, hot-headed, subterranean, purple elf-like imps that are led by Chancellor Gulch. They are enemies of the Skull Sorcerer and friends with the Munce and ninja. When they agree to their chancellor's motion, they throw rocks at them.
History[]
Background[]
The Geckles and Munce originally lived in fear due to Grief-Bringer. The Geckles and Munce came to Lilly and asked for help to defeat the dragon. By using the Blades of Deliverance, Lilly defeated Grief-Bringer and gave both the tribes her blades. She also gave Gleck her necklace. However, Vangelis stole the Two Blades and captured the Geckles and Munce, forcing them to mine Vengestone as the two tribes turned against each other.
Master of the Mountain[]
As years passed, Gleck heard about the ninja coming to Shintaro. Since the ninja are Elemental Masters, Gleck believed that one of them could've been Lilly, but was wrong. Because of the Geckle's mistake, Cole and Vania snuck into the Dungeons of Shintaro and discovered the most of the Geckles and Munce mining Vengestone for the Skull Sorcerer. The ninja tried to free the two tribes from the Skull Sorcerer, but ended up captured as well when the cave tribes argured. When the ninja attempt another escape from the Skull Keep, the enslaved Geckles were freed while the ones that weren't accused Kai and Zane to be Dark Skeletons, taking them to Gulch to see what he says about the two ninja. When they did, Gulch decided to put Kai and Zane in a Trial-By-Mino to see if they're skeletons or not.
Generosity[]
While the ninja were fighting the Re-Awakened, the Geckles were firing boulders at the warriors using a catapult. However, Gulch broke the final lever and couldn't use the catapult. Zane realized they were in trouble, so he gave up his arm and attached it to the catapult. The Geckles took out most of the warriors, but they were surrounded themselves. Luckily, the ninja helped out by defeating the remaining warriors and Gulch returned the favor by launching the ninja to the next portal.
Crystalized[]
In the battle prophesied from Quanish the Elder, the Geckles, the Munce, the Army of Shintaro and the Upply to fight the Overlord and his crystal army. As Lloyd, using the Golden Ultra Dragon, defeated the Overlord, the Geckles joined the ninja and their allies in rebuilding the Monastery of Spinjitzu.
Dragons Rising, Season 1[]
Following the Merge, a portion of the Geckle population became citizens in the Crossroads.

Ranks[]
Geckle Chancellor[]
The Geckles are led by a Chancellor, a title that can be achieved through an election made by the tribe. The Chancellor is distinguished by wearing a patterned sash, and would be in charge of the Geckle Parliamentary procedures and major decisions.
Culture[]
The Geckles are a tribe of elf-like imps from the Dungeons of Shintaro, making their home in the Geckle Strong-Cave.
Like the Munce, the Geckles were hunted by the dragon, Grief Bringer, who was killed by Gilly, who the Geckles consider the savior of the cave. She gifted the Geckles the Ivory Blade of Deliverance, which was also stolen by the Skull Sorcerer. This caused the Geckles to blame the Munce for the blade being stolen, as the Munce did to the Geckles. The Skull Sorcerer enslaved the Geckles in the Mines of Shintaro along with the Munce to mine Vengestone for an unknown buyer. Having a conflict with the Munce, the Geckles did not enjoy working alongside the Munce, so the tribes avoided each other, even after being freed from slavery. They only allied with the Munce while hiding from Grief-Bringer in a cave.
The Geckles who remained in the Strong-Cave continued to keep Geckle society running, with the chancellor running the Geckle courthouse. The Geckles practice many parliamentary practices such as throwing stones at the people who they agree with.
Along with the parliamentary traditions, the Geckles actively pass laws. The only known Geckle law is Proposition 8.8.1-stroke-7a, forbidding the riding of giant snails on Tuesdays. While this is the only known law, it is disrespectful to make a mockery of Geckle civil court and it is forbidden to be a skeleton.
Like the Munce with the letter M, the Geckles put the letter G in front of names, as all members of the tribe are given a G name and they put G in front of Gilly. The Geckles have a story cave with their written history, which has no logical narrative. They enjoy eating moss-milk, a fungus that is harvested by the Geckles that tastes putrid and rotten.
They also have a yearly tradition called the Lever Bonfire Festival, when they symbolically burn all of their spare levers to stop evil from having leverage over their hearts.
Trial-By-Mino[]
Trial-By-Mino
- Main article: Trial-By-Mino
Geckles prove who is innocent or guilty based on a Trial-By-Mino, a trial located in the courthouse's Mino Pit, with the belief that if the Mino crushes the participant slowly or becomes friendly with them, they are found innocent, but if the Mino crushes the participant quickly, they are found guilty.
Slug Race[]
Slug race
- Main article: Slug race
Geckles also make decisions with a slug race, where they use a grey and brown slug to represent two opposing ideas: the grey slug represents a good idea and the brown slug represents a bad idea, and if that slug wins the race, that idea has made the decision, as the Geckles believe only the slugs know.
Official descriptions[]
Shintaro Secrets Revealed![]
These imps live deep in the mountains of Shintaro. They spend their time scraping moss-milk off rocks. Geckles love rules, and think the Munce stole their Blade of Deliverance. Now they are sworn enemies!
LEGO Life[]
A race of purple, elf-like creatures who live deep in Shintaro Mountain. Led by Chancellor Gulch, they dig tunnels in search of "moss-milk," a coveted delicacy. Geckles love to make and enforce rules and laws to the point that it's almost impossible to get anything done. To keep some things simple, Geckle name always begin with the letter "G" (which tends to cause some confusion anyway). The Geckles' sworn enemy are the Munce, whom they believe to have stolen their most prized relic, the Ivory Blade of Deliverance. But hey, who knows what really happened.
