Trivia
- They are supposedly eel-like,[1] though they resemble forms of Serpentine. However, their head shape and sharp fangs do resemble eels.
- 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.
- 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.
- The minifigures wield a variety of weapons, all with a dragon hilt, while the Maaray Guards in the show all wield the same trident.
