Jungle Dragons[1] (also known as island dragons[2]) are a type of dragon from the uncharted jungle on the Island of the Keepers.
History[]
The Island[]
Lloyd was the first to detect the presence of a Jungle Dragon. The dragon jumped down with a coconut before Kai, Jay, and Cole could react. However, Nya noticed that the dragon did not seem harmful and decided to play with him. Jay gave the dragon his name, Zippy, and Zane confirmed that Zippy was docile. Though Lloyd expressed his concerns, Nya threw a coconut to keep the dragon preoccupied as the ninja and Twitchy Tim left. Later on, Cole was about to drink a coconut until Zippy took it and held it in his mouth. The dragon then ran in fear when the ninja and Twitchy encountered the Stone Guardians.
After the ninja escaped, they encountered Zippy's uncle, who tried to attack Nya after she threw a coconut to him. This led to Cole to refer the dragon as "Zippy's bad-tempered uncle." When the ninja used their Elemental Powers on Zippy's uncle, he created an energy field using Storm to protect himself and lured them to a canyon where he could feed them to his children.[3]
Zippy appeared behind Lloyd and wanted to play with the Green Ninja. After A few attempts to get the dragon to leave, Lloyd realized that he could use Zippy playfulness to his advantage. Lloyd threw coconuts at the Keepers so that Zippy would scare them off, resulting in being chased by the Keepers, or chasing after them.
The Storm Amulet[]
Zippy was at the Keepers' Village.
Abilities[]
Despite their size, they have been shown to be capable of jumping far distances and displaying remarkable speed. Additionally, adult Jungle Dragons possess the ability to change color, much like a chameleon, and utilize the power of Storm.
Appearance[]
The Jungle Dragons' scales come in a teal or green color, and they have striking gray curving horns that add to their overall allure. They also have a white underbelly, giving them a contrasting appearance. One of their most distinctive features is their two tusk-like teeth protruding from both sides of their mouth. Their feet are gray and spotted, and they have gold spikes that run down from their head to their tail. Additionally, Jungle Dragons have gold markings on their foreheads, thin and plant-like wings, and a few yellow-orange leaves running down their necks in between their horns, which end at their wings.
