The Mallet of Shattering is a mallet paired with the Gong of Shattering. When the Gong is struck, the mallet enables the wielder to strengthen the Wolf Clan by channeling a dark, corrupt energy, either by being infused with it or enabling Elemental Masters to perform Shatterspin.
History[]
Background[]

Lord Argus ringing the gong.
The Mallet of Shattering was once used by the Forbidden Five, who used it with the Gong of Shattering to empower their army of Wolf Mask Warriors. After they were banished to the Nether-Space, Lord Argus took over the Wolf Clan and was approached by Zaiden Kane, who manipulated him to ring the gong using the mallet, which he did. By this act, Argus was turned into the Lycan King and all of the Wyldness was cursed into half-existence. After that, the mallet was sealed alongside the gong and all the Wolf Masks inside the Shadow Dojo, never to be opened again.[1]

Shatterspin Issue 1[]

Garmadon throws the mallet at the Gong, enraged.
Thousands of years after, Garmadon entered the Shadow Dojo and saw the mallet lying on the ground. He picked up the mallet and threw it in a fit of rage. The mallet hit the Gong of Shattering and rang it. The force from the hit pushed Garmadon through the walls of the dojo and further into the Forest of Spirits.
Shatterspin Issue 2[]
After being attacked by the Lycan King, Garmadon and the Children of the Wolf took the Mallet of Shattering and went to see Mama Mawa. Then she told the story of the mallet, Forbidden Five, and the Shadow Dojo to Garmadon.

Trivia[]
- The Mallet of Shattering's handle is adapted from Ras' golden hammer in LEGO form, while its head bears resemblance to the Imperial Hammer's head, albeit being smaller in comparison.
- The characters in the show never explicitly referred to the Mallet of Shattering by its name. Instead, it was simply called a mallet paired with the Gong of Shattering. The only time where it was referred to as the Mallet of Shattering, apart from the sets, was in Shatterspin.
