“Firstbourne is the mother of all dragons. Said to be the most powerful in the realm. No one's ever seen it entirely, but it is said to possess every element of her beloved spawn.”

The Firstbourne is the first dragon to be born after the seven legendary Source Dragons[2] and the legendary "Mother of all Dragons". She inhabits the Realm of Oni and Dragons and lives in her nest most of the time. Ages ago, the First Spinjitzu Master befriended the Firstbourne, and with her help, he forged the Dragon Armor. The Firstbourne protected her dragons over the years, primarily from Iron Baron and his barbaric Hunters.

After many of her dragons were captured, the Firstbourne raided Dead's End and freed her captive offspring, before returning to her nest. Later, Iron Baron forced Wu to lead him to Firstbourne's nest, believing he could claim the Dragon Armor and control her with it. After claiming the armor, Baron learns this was a ruse, and the Firstbourne encases him in molten rock. After Wu dons the Dragon Armor, he and the ninja fly the Firstbourne and her dragons back to Ninjago, where they stage a final battle against Lord Garmadon and his forces. Following the battle, the Firstbourne returns to her home realm.

When the Oni began to invade the realms, with Faith, she traveled to the realm of Ninjago to warn the ninja.

History[]

Past[]

At some point, the First Spinjitzu Master befriended her, then, together they made the Dragon Armor. Afterward, they sought to stop the war in the Realm of Oni and Dragons. The Spinjitzu Master then realized the war could not be stopped and left the realm. The Firstbourne remained in the realm and protected the Spinjitzu Master's Dragon Armor, always having faith that he would one day return for it.

Much later, Iron Baron attempted to hunt for her, but she took his leg and arm as a result. But at the same time, Iron Baron was able to take the Dragonbone Blade from her. Since then, Baron has nursed a vendetta against the Firstbourne and leads his Hunters in searching for it to get revenge.

Hunted[]

How to Build a Dragon[]

During the ninjas' captivity, Jay remembers what Wu told him the first time he met him and decide to make a mech that looks like a dragon, which the Hunters will believe is the Firstbourne to help out. Over the next few days, Cole and Wu build the dragon with parts smuggled out by hiding them in Dragon dung and get them before disposing of it.

Later that night, Wu flew the Dragon mech before a shot from Iron Baron knocks the tail off and the real Firstbourne appeared to rescue her children. The ninja initially confused her for their mech until they realize the truth and were shocked to see it up close.

As she was firing among the camp, Wu and the ninja provide a distraction for Kai to free the dragons before they get out themselves. Iron Baron yelled that the dragon was punishing them for hunting its offspring. The freed Dragons then flew to their mother and were able to escape the Hunters.

Lessons for a Master[]

Iron Baron forced Wu to lead him to Firstbourne's nest, where the sacred Dragon Armor is guarded. Eventually, the arrival in the nest and locate the armor. Iron Baron rushes to procure it, and does so just as the Firstbourne awakens and rises up before him. Baron hastily throws on the armor and commands the Firstbourne to kill Wu. However, Wu discloses that he lied about the armor having control over the Firstbourne, and revealed that she instead sensed the good in his father's heart, which allowed him to tame her.

Upon sensing the evil in Iron Baron, who rips the armor off, the Firstbourne unleashes a stream of molten rock and encases him in it. Firstbourne notices Wu and senses the good in his heart as it did with his father. Wu soon puts on the armor and allies with the Firstbourne and her family of dragons. He flies the Firstbourne out of the nest and reunites with the ninja and Dragon Hunters. After the ninja board dragons of their own, they fly off to return to Ninjago.

Green Destiny[]

The ninja fly back into Ninjago through a rift in the sky, with Wu leading upon the Firstbourne. They went down to where Lloyd, Nya, and Dareth were fighting the Sons of Garmadon and sent the bikers fleeing away. After the team evacuated the people in the surrounding areas, Wu and Lloyd flew the Firstbourne up to Borg Tower, where they confronted Lord Garmadon. The three began fighting, with the Firstbourne eventually intervening and unleashing a stream of molten rock. Garmadon was incapacitated, but broke free and unleashed a burst of destructive energy. Wu was sent flying towards the streets far below and was saved by the Firstbourne.

As Lloyd continued fighting his father, Wu flew the Firstbourne over to the Colossus and helped the ninja and their dragons to defeat it. After the successful battle to overthrow Garmadon and his forces, Wu said his "goodbyes" to the Firstbourne, as she and the other four dragons would soon return to the Realm of Oni and Dragons itself.

March of the Oni[]

The Darkness Comes[]

The First Realm was attacked by the Oni and Firstbourne barely managed to escape with Faith. They traveled to Ninjago and fell unconscious. Wu helped them get better and Faith told Wu about the Oni invasion.

Endings[]

Faith told Wu and Misako about what happened in the Realm of Oni and Dragons. The Oni attacked the realm and the Hunters try to defend themselves with the help of the dragons, but only Faith and Firstbourne managed to escape.

After the ninja were victorious, Firstbourne is fully healed and flew above the monastery as the ninja and their allies celebrate.

Powers and abilities[]

  • Molten metal generation - As demonstrated by the Firstbourne in both "Lessons for a Master" and "Green Destiny", she used this power to generate a huge amount of molten metal against Iron Baron and Lord Garmadon encases both of them in it. However, it was of little use because Garmadon used his destruction to defend and counter her attack.
  • Elemental Power - According to Jet Jack and demonstrated in "How to Build a Dragon", Firstbourne has "every Element of her beloved spawn" meaning she has full control over the four elements of Creation (Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Earth) and Wind. However, she cannot use Creation or Golden Power.
  • Dimensional Portal creation - As demonstrated by the other dragons, the Firstbourne can create portals to travel between Realms and from one place to another or to direct her attacks.
    • Dimensional Travel - Using said portals, she can travel to different realms.

Etymology[]

Firstbourne's name is based on the term "firstborn," as she was the first dragon. Her title "mother of all dragons" is probably based on the same title used by Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones.

Trivia[]

  • When she's using an Elemental Power, she can glow to the color of the element (when she used Fire she was glowing into a red-orange color, but when she used Ice she was glowing into a white-light blue color). This is mainly seen in How to Build a Dragon.
  • She is chronologically the first dragon to guard a golden artifact made by the First Spinjitzu Master, a similar duty that her children (Rocky, Shard, Wisp, and Flame) would do in Ninjago as the guardians of the Golden Weapons.
  • Though she has the four elements that combine to form them, she does not control Creation or Golden Power.[3]
  • She is the oldest known character in the series.
  • Firstbourne is portrayed as Kai's dragon in set form even though she is ridden by Wu in the TV series.
    • This may be due to the fact that due to her being red, which is Kai's colour.
  • It is possible that Firstbourne is immortal, as she was able to live for thousands of years and is the first dragon to exist.[4]
  • The connection between Firstbourne and the Source Dragons will be unveiled in the future.[5]
  • She is older and more powerful than Matriarch/Patriarch Dragons.[7]
  • Firstbourne, despite being said to be the first dragon in existence, the Seven Source Dragons predate her, and are likely the ‘source’ of her power, as the seven Source Dragons are where all elemental powers originate. Firstbourne is likely the first dragon to be born from the Source Dragons.[2]
