“I may not have the staff, but I am still your general!”

The Hypnobrai Staff is one of the Serpentine Staffs. It used to belong to the former Hypnobrai general, Slithraa, until Skales obtained it after having defeated his former General in a Slither Pit fight. It holds a vial of anti-venom that can save victims from the effects of the Hypnobrai hypnosis.

When mixed with the anti-venom of the other four Snake Staffs, a white liquid is formed that, when it drips on a piece of paper, creates a map to the four Fangblades.

History[]

Rise of the Snakes[]

Rise of the Snakes[]

As the staff was the symbol of leadership within the Hypnobrai, Slithraa never let it out of his hand even when the snakes attacked Jamanakai Village. However, while there, the General was attacked by Cole who claimed the staff and used the anti-venom to release the villagers of their hypnotism.

Home[]

The Ninja continued to keep the staff safe from Serpentine hands at the Monastery of Spinjitzu. However, this provoked an attack by the Hypnobrai on the monastery to reclaim the staff while the Ninja were preoccupied. Skales returned to the Hypnobrai Tomb with the staff in his possession until he was challenged to a Slither Pit duel by Slithraa. Mezmo held on to the staff during the fight and presented it to Skales when he claimed victory.

Never Trust a Snake[]

Skales carried the staff as he led the Hypnobrai from their tomb to confront an approaching army. Upon closer inspection and realizing the identity of the army, Skales planted the staff in the snow before approaching and greeting Fangtom.

Can of Worms[]

Skales carried the staff with him as Pythor attempted to unite the Serpentine tribes before the ninja interfered. He later pointed in the direction of the ninja with the staff to emphasize their presence.

The Snake King[]

In his efforts to take control over the four remaining Serpentine tribes, Pythor challenged the respective generals to their staffs and their allegiance in the Ouroboros Slither Pit. As Skales was looking to become Pythor's second-in-command, he had conspired with Pythor before the fight and wore earplugs to the fight. During the fight, Pythor used the stolen Sacred Flute to incapacitate his competition, during which Skales willingly relinquished the Hypnobrai Staff. Pythor then briefly claimed the Hypnobrai Staff, along with the others, and commanded the Serpentine to bow before him before returning the staves to their original owners.

Tick Tock[]

Skales held the staff while the Serpentine Generals gathered within the Constrictai Tomb and talked about the Map to the four Fangblades. After Pythor realized the antivenom within the five Serpentine staffs were the key to finding the map, he gathered the Hypnobrai staff and placed it atop the pedestal alongside the other four, allowing their antivenom to drip onto a piece of paper to reveal the map.

The Green Ninja[]

Skales carried the staff as he accompanied Pythor and his group to the Fire Temple in search of the Fangpyre Fangblade.

All of Nothing[]

Skales is seen carrying the staff within the Serpentine's underground fortress, guarding the fangblades alongside the other generals. He would continue to use the staff in combat against Kai, but was seemingly relieved of the staff in combat with the Skulkin, for he was unarmed when confronted by Nuckal and Kruncha.

The Rise of the Great Devourer[]

Skales carried the staff as he stood atop a platform carried by a Rattlercopter while picking up Pythor, who had just recovered the Fangblades from the ninja. He later wielded aboard the Serpentine Express as he confronted Cole, insulting the latter by calling him a 'loser.' Unfortunately, Cole responded by transforming the Scythe of Quakes into the Tread Assault, forcing Skales to use the staff in a feeble effort to defend himself against the Tread Assault's missile launcher. The staff, and Skales, would shortly be blown out of the bus.

Day of the Great Devourer[]

The staff was seen with Skales when he argued with Fangtom. He continued to carry it after the Serpentine realized that the Great Devourer had been destroyed.

Legacy of the Green Ninja[]

Darkness Shall Rise[]

Skales carried the staff as he tried to convince the Serpentine to follow him, only for them to follow Garmadon instead after the latter used the Golden Weapons to create the Black Bounty. Skales continued to carry the staff when the Serpentine Generals conveyed in the Ninjago Metro to brainstorm ways of winning back their followers. While the rest of the generals robbed a bank and distracted the ninja, Skales made his way to the Hero's Suite in an effort to kidnap Lloyd, using the staff to slice a hole through the balcony window to enter the apartment.

Child's Play[]

Skales carried the staff with him as the Serpentine rendezvoused with Garmadon inside the Ninjago Museum of History.

The Stone Army[]

Skales and the other generals are seen carrying their staves as they observe a duel in Ouroborus and shortly thereafter, Garmadon's arrival aboard a Rattlercopter. After Garmadon revealed his intentions of seeking the Dark Island and the other three generals eagerly agreed to join him, Skales reluctantly joined in as well, following Garmadon back onboard the Rattlercopter in search of the Dark Island, bringing the staves with them.

The Day Ninjago Stood Still[]

As Skales was coronated as the new Snake King, Acidicus brought the Hypnobrai Staff to Skales. When Skalidor attempted to hand Skales a brick from the ground, Skales struck the brick out of Skalidor's hands with the staff in disgust.

He would later carry the staff with him as the Serpentine tunneled below Ninjago City, eventually reaching the Tomb of the Stone Army. When the Stone Army left their chamber and imprisoned the Serpentine within their tomb, the staff was presumably imprisoned alongside them.

Between Legacy of the Green Ninja and March of the Oni[]

Years after the events of "The Day Ninjago Stood Still," Cyrus Borg obtained the Serpentine Staffs and placed them in the vault underneath Borg Tower.

The Fall[]

Lloyd and Garmadon pass the staff while evading the Oni.

Trivia[]

  • In the TV series, the Hypnobrai Staff was held by every Serpentine rank in the Hypnobrai, except for the Scout rank. Although normally wielded by the current general, it was temporarily held by Skales (as a warrior) and Mezmo prior to the Slither Pit in "Home."
    • However, in the sets, it was held by everyone except Mezmo.
