Trivia
- In LEGO Brawls and the Ninja vs. Maraay Guards video, their names are mispelled as "Maraay Guards."
- Despite being eel-like,[2] they share some similarities with snakes.
- They share the same color scheme as Wojira (except for Gripe), who is a sea serpent, and their head shape is also the same as the Pyro Whippers', who are from a Serpentine tribe.
- Most of them were deceived into thinking that Trimaar was killed by the ninja. Gripe is the only one who is confirmed to know that Kalmaar was the one who actually killed Trimaar.
- The other two guards who witnessed the murder of Trimaar were immediately killed by Kalmaar.
- They are very similar to the Army of Shintaro, as both groups guard their respective kingdoms, take orders from the royal families of their kingdoms, and in both groups all members use the same weapon.
- Both the Maaray Guards and the Army of Shintaro were also deceived by corrupt rulers into believing the ninja were the enemy in the show.
- The minifigures wield a variety of weapons, all with a dragon hilt, while the Maaray Guards in the show all wield the same trident.
