Pilot Season: Masters of Spinjitzu[]
Long before time had a name, the NINJAGO world was created by the First Spinjitzu Master by using the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu; weapons so powerful, no one could handle all of their power at once. When he passed away, his two sons swore to protect them, but the oldest, Lord Garmadon, was consumed by darkness and wanted to possess them all. A battle between brothers broke out. Lord Garmadon was defeated and banished to the Underworld. Peace returned to the island as the younger brother, Wu, hid the Golden Weapons in the far corners of NINJAGO Island. Centuries later, Wu seeks out four brave boys – Cole, Jay, Kai and Zane – whom he trains in the art of Spinjitzu to become protectors of the Golden Weapons. Kai is the last one to be recruited by Wu. When Kai meets Wu for the first time, Samukai and his evil Skeleton Army show up to kidnap Kai’s sister, Nya, and steal the map showing the location of the Golden Weapons. Behind the kidnapping is Lord Garmadon, who is controlling the Underworld. The fire ignites within Kai. He is determined to save Nya, so he follows Wu to join the rest of the ninja. Cole, Jay, Kai and Zane use their ninja training in defeating the Skeleton Army, naturally learning the art of Spinjitzu. Although the ninja successfully survive a harrowing quest to retrieve the Golden Weapons, they fall into Lord Garmadon’s master plan, allowing him to escape the Underworld through a portal to the Dark Realm, with hope that he one day would return with the ability to possess all four weapons. Peace returns to NINJAGO Island, while the four ninja swear to protect the Golden Weapons… Awaiting Lord Garmadon’s arrival.[2]
Characters[]
Image | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() |
Master Wu | Master Wu, son of the First Spinjitzu Master and little brother to Garmadon, has vowed to uphold his father’s legacy and protect NINJAGO from evil. An expert in the art of Spinjitzu and the ways of the ninja, Wu shares his knowledge with his students and tries hard to impart his wisdom! He is a patient and peaceful man that enjoys a good cup of tea, but don’t let his old age fool you! This Master is still lightning-fast and more powerful than most ninja. Wu seeks out the son of an old friend and tries to train him as a ninja. Kai, his new recruit, must learn patience…and so does Wu. While he has confidence in all four of his students, it seems they need time to master Spinjitzu. In the end, Wu learns that to protect NINJAGO there are sacrifices that only he must bear.[3] |
![]() |
Kai | Kai’s impulsive personality, fierce temper and immense drive mirror the fire within him. His strong sense of justice makes him stubborn and he’ll stop at nothing if he has put his mind to it… but this is also the source of his bravery. As older brother to Nya, he is overprotective of her. While Kai’s self-confidence can be overwhelming to some people, this makes him one of the leaders and big personalities in the group. Kai is the last young ninja to join Master Wu’s ninja training. His impatience with training is significant, as Lord Garmadon has kidnapped his sister. However, while he quickly becomes a skilful warrior and is the first to tame his dragon, he discovers that impatience is the enemy of a great ninja…[4] |
![]() |
Jay | Jay is an inventive, fast-talking and fun ninja. He loves to build and fly hang-gliders, so the chance to learn to fly himself using Airjitzu is an exciting one. Jay is always ready with a joke when things get too tense. He wields the power of lightning. Jay is captivated by Kai’s sister, Nya, and struggles with his feelings, especially when her overprotective big brother is around. He learns that he can apply his ninja training directly into combat. Inevitably, it is the Ninja of Lightning who is the first to master the art of Spinjitzu."Let's chop-socky this lemonade stand!"[5] |
![]() |
Zane | Once the White Ninja, Zane is an intelligent and powerful nindroid (ninja robot) that fills the role of the computer intelligence in the group. He was created by the Tinkerer, Dr. Julien, to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Dedicated to the qualities of peace, freedom and courage, this rational ninja is brave, caring and has a big heart…even though he doesn’t have one! Before Wu brought the ninja together, Zane lived the life of a loner, thinking himself a flesh and blood orphan. He finds being part of a big group of different personalities tricky, but overcomes it with humour and a little help from his friends.[6] |
![]() |
Cole | Wielding the elemental power of earth, Cole possesses immense physical strength that comes in handy in difficult situations. Cole may have quit the family trade of singing and dancing because he never felt that he could make his father proud, but he still has the moves. He may ooze confidence, but the Ninja of Earth is suitably grounded. He loves the simple life – the outdoors, rock-climbing, old-school tech and most importantly: cake.Cole is the calm center of the team. However, there is one thing that he’s afraid of – dragons! He has to overcome his fears to ride his Earth Dragon, learning that they’re not that scary and a great way to enter the Underworld.[7] |
![]() |
Nya | After a long time of wishing she could be a true part of the ninja team, Nya created the identity of Samurai X. She is skilled at inventing and building things and always yearns to be a bigger part of the action. When she gets the opportunity to be more than she is, she will have to decide how much of her past she will give up to have a better future. Nya has been living a quiet life with her brother Kai in the family’s Blacksmith Shop. When Samukai and his Skeleton Army attack, she develops a taste for adventure. Her independence and fearlessness grow by the minute. Nya is ready for action![8] |
![]() |
Garmadon | Bitten by the Great Devourer as a child, Wu’s brother slowly filled with evil to become Lord Garmadon, the arch nemesis of good ninja everywhere. When his son Lloyd defeated the Overlord, he was finally freed of the poison that flowed through his veins! Master Garmadon has now taken the oath of peace. He helps mentor the ninja, though his training methods are very different from Wu’s. Garmadon is a man of tradition and doesn’t like modern technology at all. Evil mastermind Lord Garmadon is trapped in the Underworld, so he orders Samukai to find all four Golden Weapons. But when the four-armed skeleton king recovers them, he tries to take their power for himself, only to be instantly vaporised! This opens a portal to another realm, giving Lord Garmadon a possibility to escape. He knew that their power would corrupt even the most loyal henchman. This was his plan all along![9] |
![]() |
Samukai | The four-armed leader of the Skeleton Army, Samukai was the ruler of the Underworld prior to Garmadon’s arrival there. He formed an uneasy alliance with Garmadon to conquer NINJAGO and obtain the four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu. Samukai led the Skeleton Army to the surface, but he was often frustrated by just how dense many of his troops were. When he attempted to use all four Golden Weapons at once, he was destroyed by the energy discharge.[10] |
![]() |
Kruncha | Kruncha is one of Samukai’s generals. He is in a constant rivalry with Nuckal for Samukai’s favor, but since neither one is talented or intelligent, they cannot top each other. Armed with two golden hatchets, Kruncha is famous for his great strength. He and Nuckal were frequently sent on missions together, despite the fact that they argued all the time. The one thing they did have in common was an affection for the surface world, particularly NINJAGO City. Sometimes they went up just to hang out and have fun (though this usually led to trouble).[11] |
![]() |
Nuckal | Another of Samukai’s generals, Nuckal specializes in getting into trouble and annoying everyone, particularly Kruncha. He really wanted to be Samukai’s number two skeleton, and might have been if he had been able to count as high as two. Nuckal carries a golden double-bladed axe. He and Kruncha were often dispatched together on missions, despite the fact that they argued constantly about just about everything. Nuckal was enthusiastic about invading NINJAGO because it gave him a chance to spend time on the surface, which is a much more fun place than the Underworld.[12] |
![]() |
Bonezai | Bonezai has one of the most important jobs in the Skeleton Army. He is the chief designer in charge of making sure the Skeleton Army vehicles are faster and more powerful than anything else. Unfortunately, since Bonezai doesn’t talk, he is never able to explain his design changes to anyone and sometimes that results in really bad mistakes in construction (weapons that fire backwards, brakes that make the vehicle go faster, etc.)[13] |
![]() |
Frakjaw | Frakjaw works closely with Bonezai, although he often wishes he did not. Frakjaw is the official “test dummy” of the Skeleton Army, trying out Bonezai’s new vehicles. The idea is that if Frakjaw only gets blown up a little, the vehicle is safe to use.[14] |
![]() |
Chopov | Chopov is one of the key members of the Skeleton Army. It’s his job to keep all the Skeleton Army vehicles in top shape. He is respected for his skills as a mechanic, but like Bonezai, he does not talk. As a result, he can never tell anyone what he has fixed or what other problems he may have spotted. Drivers usually find out somewhere down the road when things go boom.[15] |
![]() |
Krazi | Wild and insane, no one ever knows what is going to happen when Krazi appears on the scene. Carrying his golden bone into battle, he is completely unpredictable and even the Ninja were cautious when they had to face him. Krazi has one big advantage over his comrades: he’s the only Skeleton soldier who can talk. So no matter how much Kruncha and Nuckal might want to ignore him, they just can’t.[16] |
Vehicles[]
Image | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() |
Nuckal's ATV | Skeleton Army vehicle driven by Nuckal, once used in a failed attempt to kidnap Nya. The ATV featured four oversized wheels, capable of handling any terrain, flame exhausts, four-wheeled suspension and a missile launcher.[17] |
![]() |
Skull Motorbike | One of Chopov’s favourite vehicles, the Skull Motorbike is a twin-engined beast, capable of enormous speed. Its skull framework was designed to be able to flip forward like a fly swatter, crushing any opposing vehicle that got too close. Chopov enjoyed this feature so much that he sometimes used it on other Skeleton Army vehicles just for fun.[18] |
![]() |
Skull Truck | The Skull Truck is the largest of the Skeleton Army vehicles. It has a large, monstrous skull face on the front whose jaws move, and a bone fist on the back that can be extended on a chain to grab onto people. Kruncha rode in this vehicle during the assault on the Four Weapons Blacksmith Shop.[19] |
![]() |
Turbo Shredder | Powerful vehicle used by the Skeleton Army. It had oversized rear wheels and all-terrain treads on the front. Driven by Frakjaw, it was used in a failed attempt to steal the Scythe of Quakes. The Turbo Shredder was later drawn into the ninja’s Tornado of Creation and has not been seen since.[20] |
Locations[]
Image | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() |
Blacksmith Shop | This small business, also known as The Four Weapons, originally belonged to Kai and Nya’s parents. It was renowned for the quality of its product, particularly the swords, which were incredibly durable. After Lord Garmadon was banished to the Underworld, Wu hid the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu and created a map to their locations. He entrusted the map to Kai’s father, who hid it in the shop (thus the name The Four Weapons). After his death, Kai and Nya took over running the shop.[21] |
![]() |
Caves of Despair | Hiding place of one of the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu, the Scythe of Quakes. This was the first location to which the ninja traveled in search of the Golden Weapons. The caves are part of one of the largest mountains on NINJAGO Island and stretch for kilometers. Samukai ordered a Skeleton Army mining operation here in an effort to find the weapon, which resulted in the laying of railroad tracks, the carving of new tunnels and the construction of Skeleton Army watchtowers. The ninja succeeded in finding the Scythe first, but it was guarded by an Earth Dragon. The creature eventually became Cole’s mount. |
![]() |
Fire Temple | This ancient temple is constructed inside an active volcano near the Forest of Tranquility. It was the hiding place for the Sword of Fire and a Fangblade was buried inside the volcano itself. There was an access point to the Underworld behind a lava fall, but Kai destroyed it. The Fire Temple was home to the mighty Fire Dragon, who guarded the Sword of Fire. Later, when the Serpentine traveled to its inner core to retrieve the Fangblade, the volcano was very unstable. The ninja's elemental powers initiated the explosive eruption.[23] |
Floating Ruins | Unavailable | |
![]() |
Forest of Tranquility | One of the largest and most beautiful woodlands in the NINJAGO world, and site of the Fangpyre Tomb. The Fire Temple is located at the outskirts of this forest. Although wildlife abounds in the forest, including tigers and bears, it tends to be harmless. The forest does indeed exude a peaceful feeling and it can be difficult for a visitor to say goodbye to his surroundings when it is time to go. It was here that the Skeleton Army ambushed the ninja and stole three of the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu.[24] |
![]() |
Frozen Wasteland | Hiding place of one of the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu, the Shurikens of Ice. Bordered by an icy sea, the Frozen Wasteland is an inhospitable place inhabited only by the hardiest of creatures. It is partially forested, but much of it is ice-covered mountains, treacherous cliffs, and dangerous crevasses. A fierce Ice Dragon guarded the shurikens within the Ice Temple. The ninja finally succeeded in retrieving the weapon and Zane tamed the Ice Dragon so that he could ride it.[25] |
![]() |
Garmadon's Dark Fortress | A castle in the Underworld, which served as Garmadon’s base of operation during the time he was exiled there. This fortress previously belonged to Samukai, but he was deposed from it when Garmadon took over the realm. This gloomy edifice still stands in the Underworld, now home to the Skeleton Army generals.[26] |
![]() |
Monastery of Spinjitzu | A small temple in the Mountains of Impossible Height range, which formerly served as the home for the First Spinjitzu Master and his sons, Wu and Garmadon. The battle between the two youths took place here, leading to Garmadon’s banishment to the Underworld. The monastery could be reached only via a winding staircase that scaled the mountain. Carved into the rock below the monastery were pens where the four ninja kept their dragons. The monastery was eventually burnt down by the Hypnobrai.[27] |
![]() |
The Underworld | The Underworld is the realm of the dead, populated by fallen warriors who have never fully realized or accepted their passing. It is home to the Skeleton Army, also known as the Skulkin. The Underworld is a dark place, where land masses float in mid-air and are connected by bridges constructed by the Skeletons. Dragons and Skeleton vehicles are able to travel between the NINJAGO world and the Underworld. Once there was a passageway to the Underworld inside the Fire Temple, but it was destroyed by Kai. Lord Garmadon’s Dark Fortress is still located here, symbolizing the fall of the late Samukai who once ruled the Underworld.[28] |

The Sword of Fire looked like a golden katana with a dragon head design on the hilt.[32] |

Fangtom | Fangtom is the General and brains behind the Fangpyre tribe – which is not saying much. Fangtom is the Fangpyre general. This Serpentine once accidentally bit himself, which is how he wound up with two heads. His decision-making ability is somewhat hampered by the fact that the two heads are either constantly arguing with one another or finishing each other’s sentences.

![]() |
Pythor | Pythor P. Chumsworth is a survivor. The last of the Anacondrai, he has hatched dozens of schemes and somehow managed to avoid total defeat at the hands of the Ninja.

Fangdam | Fangdam is Fangtom’s muscle sidekick – he is one fast, ferocious Fangpyre. Formerly best friends with Skales. Fangdam is a strong and fast Fangpyre warrior.

Acidicus | Acidicus is as dangerous as the toxic bogs the Venomari call their home. Victims who have been hit by the Venomari venom hallucinate and sometimes see their worst fears materialize before them. Acidicus is the Venomari general. Although he is intelligent and capable, Pythor has been able to outfight and outmaneuver him numerous times. Acidicus is best known for creating vials that could be used by the Venomari to store their venom for later use.[48] |
![]() |
Bytar | Bytar, along with the rest of the Constrictai, is all about the muscle.He likes to work out but doesn’t like to shower much, so he smells like a locker room full of old cheese sandwiches. Bytar is a battle-scarred Constrictai veteran. When there is no one else to fight and nothing much to do, he gets into wrestling matches with his fellow Constrictai, but sometimes forgets this is just for practice. Other Serpentine have learned to stay away from Bytar when he looks bored.[49] |
![]() |
Lasha | The finest scout in the Venomari tribe. He keeps a lookout for enemies, seeks out prey and then lets others handle them. Lasha is a keen-eyed scout for the Venomari tribe.

Although he does a good job, he is not always valued – he was once booted off the Black Bounty by Garmadon for being “excess weight.”[50] |
![]() |
Lizaru | With his four fangs Lizaru makes a great warrior. He can also catch and devour some of the bigger bog creatures. If he can catch a bogmollerworm, he’s set for weeks.

These hobbies include napping and a little potion-making on the side.[51] |

Skalidor | Skalidor has neglected exercise for as long as the Constrictai have been in confinement, so even for a Constrictai, he’s a little on the heavy side.

Once he has a goal, he stops at nothing to achieve it.[52] |

Though his job is just to keep his eyes out for enemies, he loves jumping into a fight with his spiked chain mace.[53] |
![]() |
Spitta | Although the Venomari’s greatest assets are their teeth, which produce the venom, Spitta has a bit of a problem. Because of his very fine and very large teeth, he literally can’t always keep his mouth shut, so he drools and leaks venom all the time. Although Spitta is a Venomari soldier, he is not really much of a warrior. He’s of more use for the fact that he is constantly drooling venom and has learned to collect it in Acidicus’ vials for others to use. Spitta is very devoted to his tribe and believed very strongly in the imminent return of the Great Devourer.[54] |

The ninja first encountered this beast in the Frozen Wastelands, where he had been placed by Master Wu to guard the shurikens. Shard later became Zane’s mount and carried him into the Underworld. Shard is the smallest of the four dragons. Shard later traveled to Spirit Coves to mature into an adult dragon. All four Elemental Dragons would merge into the Ultra Dragon and return to aid the ninja.[65] |
Unavailable | Ultra Sonic Raider | Powerful land vehicle created by the ninja using the Tornado of Creation. Facing the Great Devourer, the ninja had a chance of victory with the Ultra Sonic Raider that combined the powers of the ninja. Because Zane had programmed the sound of the sacred flute, the Ultra Sonic Raider had built-in speakers, using the ancient music as weapon. The plan worked, but only temporarily. The raider was badly damaged by the force of the Devourer’s tail. It was later repaired by Nya to be in the Ninjaball Run.[66] |
Unavailable | Wisp (Lightning Dragon) | The ninja first encountered the Lightning Dragon in the Floating Ruins. Later named “Wisp” by Jay, the dragon was there to serve as a guardian of the Nunchucks of Lightning, one of the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu.

All four Elemental Dragons would merge into the Ultra Dragon and return to aid the ninja.[67] |

Zane transformed the Shurikens of Ice into this vehicle.[68] |

Birchwood Forest | A snowy forest populated mainly by birch trees, located near the Glacier Barrens. It was the location of Dr. Julien’s hidden workshop, where Zane and the Falcon were created. Zane’s memories of the forest were wiped when Julien turned off his memory switch. It would not be until his return some time later that Zane would recall the place. Birchwood Forest was also the site of the second leg of the Ninjaball Run.[69] | |
Dark Realm | The Dark Realm is a shadowy, twisted place in which evil flourishes. Here all rules are turned upside down. After his escape from exile in the Underworld, Lord Garmadon traveled here. He was mutated by the Dark Realm and gained two extra arms, and thus the ability to wield all Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu at once. The Dark Realm is home to frightening creatures of evil, like the Mud Monsters and the Craglings. There is a passageway to the NINJAGO world, if you dive into the crater atop the Mountain of Madness.[70] | |
Darkly's Boarding School for Bad Boys | Unavailable | |
Ed & Edna's 'Scrap N Junk' | Junkyard in the Sea of Sand, run by Jay’s foster parents, Ed and Edna. Like Jay, Ed is a tinkerer and neither he nor Edna like to throw anything away. As a result, the place is full of half-finished projects, piles of scrap that Ed is sure he will need one day, wire, rusted-out tools, broken-down vehicles and tons of other abandoned items. For Jay, it was a paradise to grow up in, offering him lots of materials out of which to build his inventions.[71] | |

Capital of NINJAGO Island, NINJAGO City is a large urban area located near the Sea of Sand. Numerous ninja adventures have taken place here. Locations in the city include the NINJAGO Museum of History, NINJAGO Music Hall, NINJAGO City Square, Grand Master Dareth’s Mojo Dojo and the NGTV Building. A complex network of subway tunnels can be found beneath the city. After its destruction at the hands of the Overlord, it was rebuilt by the genius Cyrus Borg and became New NINJAGO City. It became a high-tech metropolis, a center of great technological advancements where everything was digitally connected. After the defeat of the Golden Master, the idea behind New NINJAGO City was discarded in favor of a more balanced environment. Today, the city is commonly referred to as NINJAGO City. A statue of Zane stands in the park, erected to honor his sacrifice in the battle against the Golden Master.[72] | |
Sea of Sand | Unavailable | |
The City of Ouroboros | Ancient Serpentine city buried beneath the Sea of Sand following the Serpentine Wars, this site was also known as the Lost City of Ouroboros. It is the only known Serpentine city, and seems to be a mixture of different styles of architecture. In the center of the city is the infamous Slither Pit Arena. Legend had it that the Great Devourer slumbered beneath the city, and it is possible that the spirals and circles that appear so often in carvings in Ouroboros may refer to its presence. After Pythor successfully awoke the giant serpent, the creature badly damaged the city as it broke free. Despite the damage, it would still be used as a Serpentine base in later adventures and continues to exist today.[73] | |

The Fangblades | Ancient weapons of the Serpentine; the Fangblades were created using the teeth of the Great Devourer. Whoever possesses all four can summon that terrible serpent. In an effort to do just that, Pythor launched a search for the weapons. He used the anti-venom contained in all five snake staffs to create a map to the blades. Pythor retrieved all four Fangblades and used them to bring the Great Devourer back. The first was found in the Cursed Tomb Ride, the second was built into the Blade Cup and used as an award at the NINJAGO talent show, the third was located in the Fire Temple and the location of the fourth was unknown to the ninja. Only Pythor had the map…[76] | |

Cole's Earth Driller | Land vehicle used by Cole, featuring a powerful drill in front that could pierce virtually any known substance. It was designed and built by Dr. Julien on Dark Island, with the aid of Nya, and intended to help the ninja get to the Temple of Light. Nya also stored the compacted Fire Mech in the trunk of this vehicle.[94] | |
Garmatron | The Garmatron was the ultimate weapon constructed by Lord Garmadon. At his command, the Stone Army gathered the evil substance called Dark Matter needed to create the vehicle, and it was then charged by energies fired by the Celestial Clock. The Garmatron had the ability to shoot Dark Matter, thus upsetting the balance between light and dark in the NINJAGO world. It was instrumental in the Overlord’s attacks on NINJAGO City, and eventually transformed into a mighty fortress able to fire Dark Matter in multiple directions at once. The people and things struck by its Dark Matter turned evil. Lloyd’s final battle against the Overlord took place on top of this fortress. When the Overlord was seemingly destroyed, the Garmatron vanished as well, never to be seen again.[95] | |
Golden Mech | The Golden Mech was originally created by the First Spinjitzu Master during his battle with the Overlord. Charged with the Power of the Golden Dragon, it was designed to be the ultimate weapon against Darkness. After the lands of the NINJAGO world were split in two by the Golden Sword, the First Spinjitzu Master stored the mech in the heart of the Temple of Light, where he believed it would be safe. Centuries later, Lloyd recovered the Golden Mech before the final battle against the Overlord. When the ninja placed their elemental blades in the pillars around the center of the temple, the Golden Mech arose from below. The Golden Mech was damaged during the battle and never seen since.[96] | |
Fire Mech | Nya created this mech for Kai and stored it inside Cole’s Earth Driller. It was designed to be portable for easy transport, expanding to full-sized at the press of a button. The ninja team did not discover its existence until they were on Dark Island, struggling to reach the Temple of Light. The right arm of the mech is a cannon and it also features a powerful grappling hook.[97] | |
The Golden Dragon | Mighty dragon summoned by Lloyd when he became the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master. Lloyd flew the dragon into battle against the Overlord and it was instrumental in the villain’s defeat. It then vanished when the battle was won.[98] | |
Warrior Bike | The Warrior Bike was one of the primary vehicles of the Stone Army. It had a double-tread assembly on the front and two large wheels on the back, making it able to travel over even extremely rough terrain. The Stone Warriors kept a powerful mobile force in reserve on Dark Island to keep the ninja from reaching the Temple of Light. Warrior Bikes were equipped with missile launchers for long-range combat.[99] |
Locations[]

Celestial Clock | Huge clock located on Dark Island, which counts down to the final battle between light and dark. It is an incredibly intricate device, with gears, levers and other golden mechanisms jutting out from its surface. When the clock reaches zero, the Horns of Destruction begin to play. Concentrated sunlight then bursts out of the clock as a focused beam. The countdown begins when the Helmet of Shadows is removed from its resting place, and can only be stopped if it is returned there.[100] | |
Dark Island | Also referred to as the Island of Darkness, this is a place of great evil and the base of the fiendish Overlord. The NINJAGO world originally consisted of one huge island. When the Overlord’s Stone Army threatened to overwhelm the world with darkness, the First Spinjitzu Master split the island in half and Dark Island became the Overlord’s territory. The island sank to the seabed and remained underwater for many years, only to resurface when Lord Garmadon arrived there. Dark Island is the location of the Temple of Light, the Celestial Clock and the Helmet of Shadows, as well as the primary source of Dark Matter.[101] | |
Desert Canyon Cave | Unavailable | |

Many students never make it past cork.[102] | |
Stone Army Vault | Enormous tomb beneath NINJAGO City in which the Stone Army was consigned after the First Spinjitzu Master split the land in two halves. Much later, the vault was stumbled upon by the Serpentine as they were attempting to burrow beneath the city.

A carving on the outside of the tomb depicts Skales, indicating he was the one destined to free the Stone Army.[103] | |
Temple of Light | The Temple of Light is located atop a high peak on Dark Island. It is an ancient structure built by the First Spinjitzu Master, with a semi-circular stone platform in front of the door. The site is well-hidden and can only be found with the use of a special medallion. The walls are decorated with paintings of the ninja’s adventures, although how these works of art came to be is unknown. The Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu were forged here. According to ancient scrolls, the Temple of Light can grant a ninja pure elemental power that's capable of destroying the Stone Army. And once the Green Ninja finds the instrument of peace (the bell) and strikes it, he will know the power of an Ultimate Spinjitzu Master: the Power of the Golden Dragon.[104] | |
The Golden Peaks | Mountain range also known as the birthplace of the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu. The First Spinjitzu Master collected molten gold from the geysers that erupt within the mountain and then shaped and cooled it at Temple of Light. Later, Lord Garmadon came to the Golden Peaks to create his Mega Weapon. Its most notable feature is a volcano with gold-colored lava.[105] | |
The Lighthouse | An island prison where Samukai kept Dr. Julien for years, forcing him to work on designs for Skeleton Army vehicles. It is located on a small island not far from Dark Island. The ninja arrived here when Destiny’s Bounty was damaged, rescued Julien, and in return, he repaired their ship. This was Zane’s first opportunity to see his creator in many years, and gave him the opportunity to learn more about his past.[106] |

The Elemental Blades | The Four Elemental Blades which contained the power of fire, ice, earth and lightning, respectively. The raw elemental power contained in the weapons was the only force that could stop the Stone Army. The ninja discovered them in the Temple of Light and wielded them in subsequent battles. They were also able to focus their powers through the blades to help Lloyd unlock the full abilities of the Green Ninja. In addition, the Elemental Blades acted as keys to unlock the hiding place of the Golden Mech in the Temple of Light. Their current whereabouts are unknown.[108] |
![]() |
The Helmet of Shadows | An artifact created by the Overlord that grants the wearer the power to control the Stone Army. In addition, removing the helmet from its resting place starts the Celestial Clock, which begins a countdown to the final battle between good and evil. The only way to stop the countdown is to return the helmet to the Celestial Clock, where it belongs. Garmadon wears the helmet while in charge of the Stone Army, and later, it is worn by the Overlord. Lost in battle, the helmet is found by Dareth, who uses it to help the ninja overcome the Overlord.[109] |
![]() |
The Mega Weapon | Extremely powerful force for creation made by Lord Garmadon using all four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu.

He also used it to create evil duplicates of the ninja and to revive the prehistoric Grundle. In his most ambitious effort, Garmadon used the Mega Weapon to send himself back in time so he could stop the ninja team from forming. The ninja of the past sent the Mega Weapon hurtling into space using the power of the Four Golden Weapons.[110] |

He is a skilled manipulator who has directed events from behind the scenes for centuries. His original form was a dragon. Although the Overlord was defeated by Lloyd in the final battle, he was not destroyed. He survived as a computer virus in Cyrus Borg’s Digiverse and was able to take over the whole city, thanks to Borg’s technology being everywhere. But the now Digital Overlord was not satisfied. He was trapped. To escape the Digiverse he needed Lloyd’s Golden Power. The Ninja were able to reboot the Digiverse, but it was too late: the Overlord had already taken physical form. He sent his Nindroids on a space mission to retrieve the Mega Weapon, the remainder of the four Golden Weapons, to become the prophesized Golden Master. He was finally destroyed by Zane.[116] |

Cyrus Borg | A skilled and imaginative inventor, Cyrus Borg saw the damage done to NINJAGO City by the battle with the Overlord as an opportunity. He rebuilt the place as New NINJAGO City, packed with high-technology upgrades, and built the Borg Industries complex right on the site of the Overlord’s defeat. Borg’s successes have been many, but his few failures have been spectacular as well (the electronic papercut carving set, the electric bath mat, the nuclear toothbrush, the turbo-jet powered, sub-orbital golf cart, etc.). “When I make a mistake, I make a big one!” he has been known to say. Cyrus Borg is a reclusive inventor and the founder of Borg Industries. Unable to use his legs, Borg invented both a hover chair and a chair fitted with mechanical spider legs to enable himself to move freely. One of Borg’s most ambitious projects was the Digiverse, a virtual reality designed for gaming. Players could be scanned into the Digiverse and then use their imaginations to create anything they might need. After NINJAGO City was heavily damaged in the final battle between Lloyd and the Overlord, Borg oversaw its rebuilding as the high-tech New NINJAGO City.[117] |

(Primary Interactive X-ternal Assistant Life-form) is Cyrus Borg’s android assistant.When she first meets the Ninja, she is under the influence of the Digital Overlord and uses her skills to copy the plans for Zane so the Nindroids can be built. She later discovers she is compatible with Zane.P.I.X.A.L. is actually the 16th model in her line, the first 15 having malfunctioned due to a faulty thermo-coil and a malfunctioning AIE-ES (artificial intelligence enhancer-emotion suppressor) chip.Borg was able to fix the coil, but the chip problem has not been completely solved. P.I.X.A.L. is an acronym for Primary Interactive X-ternal Assistant Life-form. When the Ninja visit Borg Tower, they meet P.I.X.A.L., who is Borg’s android assistant (it took 16 versions for Borg to create the P.I.X.A.L. we know today). She was briefly taken over by the Digital Overlord, during which time she helped to manufacture an army of Nindroids based on Zane’s design. From the beginning, there was mutual fascination between her and Zane, as they shared similarities as well as differences. Badly damaged after a battle at the Storm Farm, P.I.X.A.L. was saved when Zane shared half his power core with her – his heart, you might say. From then on, she became an ally of the Ninja and very close to Zane. Later, Zane and P.I.X.A.L. were captured and held hostage on Chen's Island. When Zane found her cell, P.I.X.A.L. had been reduced to only spare parts and a face on a monitor. Zane put her neural drive into his processor, making P.I.X.A.L. a part of his artificial intelligence.[118] |

General Cryptor | General Cryptor is the robotic leader of the Nindroid army, and a servant of the Digital Overlord. Unlike the Nindroids, who rarely speak, Cryptor talks all the time. He loves to taunt and insult his foes in battle, and has even been known to criticize his own troops (saying they are as stealthy as a herd of hungry yaks). Cryptor’s emotional programming is also more advanced than that of the Nindroids, and his quick temper can be used against him. Cryptor dismisses the Ninja as a serious threat to his army. That may be a mistake that comes back to haunt both him and the Digital Overlord. General Cryptor was in command of the Nindroid army. He was the first Nindroid created, an upgraded version of Zane with enhanced programming and heavy armor. Unlike the other Nindroids, Cryptor had a strong personality. He was very conceited, loudmouthed and severely underestimated the power of the Ninja. This powerful Nindroid leader was destroyed after the defeat of the Golden Master.[119] |

NinjaCopter | The NinjaCopter was created by Zane using his Techno-Blade. The device transformed a standard air vehicle into a sleek, white aircraft that could slice smoothly through the air at high speeds. Armed with lasers, rotating cannons and missiles, the NinjaCopter was formidable in a fight. Destroyed by the Destructoid, it was later rebuilt. While in the Digiverse, Zane used his ability to interact with the computer code to create a virtual copy of the NinjaCopter.[120] | |
Destructoid | The Destructoid was a massive, tracked vehicle piloted in battle by General Cryptor. Armed with lasers, a giant sword, a shield and equipped with a rotating command center, the Destructoid was mechanized mayhem. It succeeded in bringing down the Kai Fighter, NinjaCopter, Thunder Raider and Cole’s Earth Mech. Nya eventually stole the vehicle from Cryptor and used it to battle Nindroids at the Temple of Fortitude.[121] | |
Kai Fighter | Kai used his Techno-Blade to transform a surveillance aircraft into his powerful, red Kai Fighter. Equipped with missile launchers and wing blades, Kai put it to good use in the battle against Nindroid jet fighters. It was destroyed during a fight with the Destructoid, but was later repaired. Kai attempted to recreate the Kai Fighter while in the Digiverse but was unable to maintain it and the aircraft disappeared again.[122] | |
Lloyd's Golden Cycle | Unavailable | |
Nindroid MechDragon | The MechDragon was a terrifying artificial dragon, often piloted by the Overlord himself. It was designed to hunt down Lloyd and extract his Golden Power. In the head of the dragon was an advanced lab for this purpose. When the ninja rebooted the system in the Digiverse, the MechDragon fell to the sea, containing the reformed Overlord – now in his physical body. The Nindroid MechDragon was extremely durable and able to fly at high speed. Its primary weapons were a cannon mounted on its back and sawblades on its wings.[123] | |
Proto Sam-X | Proto Sam-X was a prototype vehicle designed and built by Nya and housed in her Samurai X cave. For a long time, Nya had had the idea of creating a vehicle to match her Samurai X mech. Proto Sam-X was still unfinished (and not in the right colors) when discovered by Lloyd and Garmadon, who used it in their fight against the MechDragon. It was armed with a rotating harpoon missile, two laser cannons and concealed missile launchers.[124] | |
Thunder Raider | Jay’s Techno-Blade transformed an ordinary land vehicle into the all-terrain Thunder Raider. Its forward treads and huge rear wheels made it easy for the Thunder Raider to power through rock and rubble. Cole’s Earth Mech was able to attach to the back to provide additional speed and weaponry. The Thunder Raider was equipped with rear missile launchers. It was wrecked by the Destructoid, but was later repaired. While in the Digiverse, Jay interfaced with the code and recreated the Thunder Raider in that virtual space.[125] | |

Borg Tower | Borg Tower is the home and workplace of the renowned inventor Cyrus Borg. It is the tallest building in NINJAGO City and a major tourist attraction. Here, visitors can go on the famous Borg Tour, getting hands-on experience with the very latest technology and the opportunity to see the manufacturing line. Borg’s headquarters/living space takes up the entire top floor of the building.[126] | |
Garmadon's Sanctuary | After Garmadon became good and renounced violence, he took up residence in a peaceful monastery located in a small village. In this beautiful setting, surrounded by orchards and a sparkling waterfall, Garmadon taught students the ways of peace.[127] | |
Hiroshi's Labyrinth | The labyrinth was an area of dense jungle named after the famous explorer Hiroshi. In the center of the maze is a beautiful oasis, often referred to as the “jewel” of the labyrinth. The oasis features dramatic waterfalls, fields of red brush and cherry trees. The labyrinth lies between NINJAGO City and the Mountains of Impossible Height. Garmadon and Lloyd were able to navigate through this area to get back to NINJAGO City and help their friends. Before them, no one other than Hiroshi had ever escaped from the maze.[128] | |
Temple of Fortitude | The Temple of Fortitude, located in NINJAGO City, is known for its seal of protection that resists the Golden Power. The Overlord once took refuge here during his fight with the First Spinjitzu Master ages ago. When the Overlord becomes the Golden Master, the ninja temporarily find shelter here. While in the temple, they put on stone armor to help them in the battle to come.[129] | |
Overlord's Underground Corridor | Unavailable | |
Samurai X Cave | The Samurai X Cave was located in the Sea of Sand, built by Nya during the period when she was adventuring as Samurai X. Nya used it as a base and a storage facility for her armor, vehicles and other inventions. The cave is sited beneath the skeleton of a large, unknown creature and is the perfect hideout. On the skeleton, there is a discreet Samurai X symbol carved into the bones. When the symbol is touched, the mouth of the skeleton opens to reveal a staircase going down. Garmadon and Lloyd were the first to discover the cave’s existence.[130] | |
The Digiverse | The Digiverse was a virtual reality created by Cyrus Borg, in which the Digital Overlord was trapped. For the ninja to get rid of the Digital Overlord, they needed to enter the Digiverse and reboot the system. Within this virtual space, an occupant can gain new powers, simply by imagining them. The idea behind the Digiverse was to create a new kind of gaming, where players could be scanned in and accomplish superhuman feats they could never do in real life.[131] | |
The Storm Farm | Because New NINJAGO City was based on interconnected technologies, thus requiring a vast amount of electricity, Cyrus Borg created this facility to “harvest” the electricity in the air during lightning storms. After the energy is collected by giant electrodes, it is harnessed and distributed to power the city and the Nindroids. Today, the site is still functioning, though it is not the primary power source to the city.[132] |

Techno Blades | Despite their name, the Techno-Blades are not standard weapons. They are not sharp-edged and are not designed for combat. Created by Cyrus Borg, the Techno-Blades were designed to destroy the Digital Overlord. They were capable of rebooting the Digiverse system and erasing the Digital Overlord from existence in the process. The Techno-Blades were also capable of hacking into vehicles' operating systems. When used by one of the ninja, the blade caused their elemental powers to sweep over the vehicle, changing its color to match that of the ninja. The ninja used these blades to take control of and transform vehicles during the fight with the Digital Overlord. Techno-Blades begin to glow in the presence of computerized systems.[133] |

![]() |
Eyezor | Eyezor was the one-eyed General of Master Chen’s army of Anacondrai worshippers. A being of few words, a lot of intimidation and a razor sharp Mohawk, he could often be found with Sleven and Krait getting up to no good. Finally he became an Anacondrai and changed his name to Eyezorai, but was soon banished to the Cursed Realm along with Master Chen.[147] |
![]() |
Zugu | The former Sumo wrestler Zugu rose up through the ranks of Master Chen’s army to become a general, although his thick accent and dialect made it hard for his troops to understand him. He worked in the Underground Noodle Factory and dungeons below the Palace before becoming an Anacondrai warrior. He was then banished to the Cursed Realm with the other Anacondrai worshippers.[148] |
![]() |
Kapau | Foot-soldiers Kapau and Chope-Chope had ambitions to move up through the ranks of Master Chen’s army of Anacondrai worshippers…if only they could come up with cool nicknames! After all, Eyezor had a good name and he was in charge, so that had to be the secret. He was briefly Kapau, then became Kapau’rai to reflect his new Anacondrai state, which definitely sounded better. But then he ended up in the Cursed Realm with the rest of Chen’s Anacondrai worshippers.[149] |
![]() |
Sleven | Sleven was one of Master Chen’s most devoted Anacondrai worshippers. He could often be found with Eyezor and Krait delivering noodles and patrolling the Island defenses. He finally got his wish to become an Anacondrai Warrior and changed his name to Slevenrai, but his joy was short lived and he was banished to the Cursed Realm.[150] |
![]() |
Krait | Whether it was squashing his enemies alongside Eyezor and Sleven, helping him to steal the Elemental Masters’ power or transforming into a snake, Krait was dedicated to Master Chen’s wishes…no questions asked. He even served food in the cafeteria. As an Anacondrai he changed his name to Krait’rai, just before being banished to the Cursed Realm.[151] |
![]() |
Chope | Foot-soldiers Chope and Kapau were ambitious. They wanted to rise to positions of power in Master Chen’s army and believed that getting cool nicknames was the way to go! After all, Eyezor had a good name and he was in charge. His first thought was Maleficium, but Kapau quickly put down that name. So he became Chope, or Chope-Chope to his closest friends. When he became a snake, his name changed to Chope’rai, but he ended up in the Cursed Realm with the other Anacondrai worshippers anyway.[152] |
![]() |
Clouse | Clouse is the Master of Darts Arts, a powerful sorcerer to be feared. In his youth, he and Garmadon were Master Chen’s pupils and rivals to become his right-hand man. In their final training session, Garmadon cheated and Master Chen declared him Lord Garmadon. Clouse carried this injustice round his whole life, so when he finally did become Chen’s right-hand man, he massively over-compensated. He always went to great lengths to please his master. Below Chen’s Palace, Clouse held a giant snake as a pet, feeding it with Chen’s prisoners. The title of lordship has always been his aspiration. During his showdown with Garmadon on Chen’s Island, Clouse was sucked into the Cursed Realm, only to be reunited with his master shortly afterwards. [153] |

Master Chen | Before the Tournament of Elements, Chen was commonly known as the “nice man” behind Master Chen’s Noodle House. But this identity concealed his underground criminal organization, as well as his murky history as Master Chen, teacher of Clouse and Garmadon. Master Chen loves theatrics and playing people against each other, dividing the closest of friends. Long ago, he provoked the Serpentine Wars, then turned against his own kind and sided with the snakes. He used deception to divide the Elemental Masters, and when the Serpentine were finally defeated he was exiled to a distant island for his treachery. From this remote fortress, Chen built a criminal empire and an army of warriors that shared his obsession with the most powerful of all the snake tribes, the Anacondrai. Using his daughter’s abilities, he planned to steal the power he craved from the descendants of the Elemental Masters. Not only was he seeking revenge, but he aimed to use this power to transform his army into Anacondrai Warriors and bring a reign of terror to the NINJAGO world. In the end, he was undone by his own twisted teaching. Long ago, Master Chen taught his pupil Garmadon to win at all costs, no matter who got hurt. As the ninja finally confronted Chen and his Anacondrai worshippers, Garmadon remembered this lesson...he sacrificed himself, dragging Chen and his army to the Cursed Realm and leaving behind a grieving Lloyd.[154] |

Skylor | Skylor, the mysterious Master of Amber and daughter of Master Chen, has the uncanny ability to absorb and replicate the Elemental Power of others. Her mother was an original Elemental Master. Skylor was definitely the recipient of Kai’s affections from the start. It was the strength of this bond that helped her defy her father. Not many know, but Skylor still possesses the powers of each of the Elemental Masters fighting in the Tournament of Elements. When Master Chen was banished to the Cursed Realm, she decided to take over the family noodle business and lead a quieter and normal life. [155] |
![]() |
Karlof | Karlof is the Elemental Master of Metal and a descendant of the original Elemental Master. He worked as an aeronautical engineer in Metalonia, but he found he was happier just hammering opponents with his metal fists. When he smashes his fists together, his entire body becomes metal. He also has greater than average durability. Although he comes across as brutal and rough, he shows great loyalty to his friends and was a huge help to the ninja in their battle on Chen’s island. [156] |
![]() |
Griffin Turner | Griffin Turner is the Elemental Master of Speed and the grandson of the original Elemental Master. His power of super-speed earned him an invitation to the Tournament of Elements. Griffin Turner is preoccupied by speed. He’s swift-talking, quick-thinking and fast-acting, in whatever order is quickest.[157] |
Vehicles[]
Image | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Anacondrai Crusher | The Anacondrai Crusher was a small land vehicle used by the Anacondrai worshippers of Master Chen on his island. Each was equipped with powerful front-mounted jaws, grinders, a slashing tail apparatus, and concealed missile launchers. The Crushers were the primary means Chen’s men used to get around the island. Chen sent a pair of these into the arena when he felt Jay and Cole were faking their fight, but the two ninja rapidly destroyed the Crushers.[158] | |
Boulder Blaster | The flying Boulder Blaster was constructed in secret by Cole and Karlof while they were imprisoned in Chen’s underground noodle factory. Once completed, they used it to break out of the factory. The Boulder Blaster was equipped with a launcher capable of firing eight missiles and adjustable wings. Chen later stole the Boulder Blaster to escape to NINJAGO Island.[159] | |
Condrai Copter | The Condrai Copter was the backbone of Master Chen’s air force. Armed with missiles, rotating blades and a net launcher, the copters were used in pursuit and capture operations against Dareth and Skylor. The wings could adjust from high-speed flight mode to attack mode. The Condrai Copter was also referred to as the Blade Copter, but it’s not known which name Chen preferred.[160] | |
ElectroMech | Jay took over one of Chen’s mechs, transforming it with his elemental power into the ElectroMech. During a battle with Clouse, the main power source of the mech was obstructed, resulting in an automatic self-destruction. While active, the ElectroMech had a dual shooter and a left fist designed for grasping and holding objects with all the mech’s power.[161] | |
Jungle Raider | The Jungle Raider was originally an Anacondrai buggy used by Chen’s followers to get around his island. It featured a powerful suspension and big tires to enable it to handle any terrain, as well as dual shooters for use in battle. Lloyd wrested control of the buggy from the Elemental Master of Form, Chamille, during the Thunder Blade challenge, with his power transforming the entire vehicle. When Lloyd fell off the vehicle, the Jungle Raider returned to its original appearance.[162] | |
Ninja DB X | Designed by Nya, the Ninja DB X was a powerful six-wheeled vehicle engineered for both combat and surveillance. It was equipped with “replicate software” that allowed it to change its appearance. Among the features of the DB X were a detachable control center, dual cockpit and a concealed launcher. Two additional vehicles, a flyer and Kai’s motorcycle, could detach themselves and operate independently of the DB X. Nya and Dareth used the DB X to spy on Master Chen’s activities, but the vehicle was later hijacked by Chen.[163] | |
Skylor's Rocket Board | Skylor used her high-speed rocket board to escape into the jungle, with Condrai Copters in pursuit. With its side flame decorations and flame exhaust, the rocket board is hard to miss.[164] | |
The Titanium Dragon | The Titanium Dragon is Zane’s Elemental Dragon. Zane discovered his Elemental Dragon during his captivity on Chen’s iIsland. He first saw the beast in a dream. Zane eventually realized that the dragon represented his fears and doubts, and once he was able to overcome these, it became possible to summon the dragon. Like Zane’s former beast, the Titanium Dragon has the power of ice. Different to his initial dragon, the Titanium Dragon is not, in fact, a physical beast, but a manifestation of Zane’s courage and ability to triumph over doubt.[165] |
Locations[]

---|---|---|
Blackwood Forest | The tranquility of Blackwood Forest is broken only by the ringing sound of lumberjacks’ axes striking the tall trees. The hard wood of the blackwood trees is used for shipbuilding and other types of construction. Following Zane’s apparent death, Cole worked here as a lumberjack for a short time.[166] | |
Chen's Coliseum | Chen’s Coliseum was a large arena designed to host gladiatorial-style matches. It was located near Chen’s Palace and was the site of the battle between Jay and Cole.[167] | |
Chen's Island | Located off the west coast of NINJAGO Island, this is the secret headquarters of Master Chen’s operation. When Chen was exiled to this island after the Serpentine War, Garmadon and Wu were not aware until very late that Chen was building a criminal empire. During his reign here, the entire island was cloaked by Clouse’s magic and visits were by invitation only. Chen’s army of Anacondrai worshippers was located here, as well as his tournament arena. Geographically diverse, with a volcano, mountains and waterfalls, those allowed to visit here soon discovered they could never leave without Chen’s permission. The infamous Tournament of Elements was held here.[168] | |
Chen's Palace | Master Chen lived in this grand palace on his own private island. Honeycombed with secret passages and trapdoors, the palace was much like its owner: it presented one face to the world, and a very different one behind the scenes. A network of tunnels beneath the palace led to the Underground Noodle Factory and a long-lost Anacondrai temple, home to Clouse’s pet serpent. The ninja and the other Elemental Masters were “guests” here during the Tournament of Elements. Zane was held prisoner in one of the many underground chambers.[169] | |
Chen's Royal Arena | The Royal Arena was the site of the Thunder Blade challenge during the Tournament of Elements. Lloyd was pitted against Chamille in what seemed at first like a simple event: a race on roller skates while carrying Jade blades. But the other Elemental Masters were also allowed to race, primarily to sabotage one contestant or the other. The arena features a large, circular track and an electronic scoreboard. Chen’s Royal Arena is also referred to as Thunder Blade Arena.[170] | |
Chen's Underground Noodle Factory | Located below the surface of Chen’s Island, this secret facility is where enslaved workers made the noodles served at Master Chen’s Noodle House restaurants. Laborers were under guard throughout their shift and were under orders not to eat the merchandise.[171] | |
Corridor of Elders | The Corridor of Elders is a narrow pass in Echo Canyons and the site of the ninja team’s last stand against Chen and his Anacondrai worshippers. The name refers to the monuments carved here, all of which depict an honored figure from NINJAGO history. After the defeat of Master Chen, a statue of Garmadon was added to the corridor, to honor his sacrifice.[172] | |
Kryptarium Prison | The Kryptarium Prison is a high-security prison located in the Sea of Sand, designed to hold the worst of the worst. Although this forbidding facility is intended to be escape-proof, the guards are unarmed, as part of an effort to create an environment of trust. Here Warden Noble tries to foster “an environment of encouragement”. When the ninja visit the Kryptarium for the first time, it is to find Pythor.[173] | |
Master Chen's Noodle House | Master Chen’s is the most popular and successful restaurant chain on NINJAGO island. It’s famous for serving the best noodles anywhere. Just the wonderful smell of the delicacies served within is enough to lure people in off the street. What no one knew was that the smiling owner of the chain, Master Chen, was in reality a master criminal and his noodles were made by slave labor. When Skylor took over the family business, she kept the company name, but changed entirely the unethical and illegal way the business was run.[174] | |
Yang's Tavern | Yang’s Tavern is a notorious pub in a rough section of NINJAGO City, a gathering spot for criminals, gamblers and other dangerous types. It’s known for its Slither Pit fights, hosted by the Hypnobrai announcer Mezmo. After the ninja team broke up, Kai fought here for a time under the name “the Red Shogun.”[175] |

Clouse's Spell Book | Also referred to as The Book of Spells. Clouse’s Spell Book is an ancient volume belonging to the Master of Dark Arts, filled with powerful magic and forbidden spells. Master Chen’s particular interest in the book was the Spell of Transformation, which would allow him and his Cultists to turn themselves into Anacondrai. This transformation is only temporary, however – in order to make it permanent, the essence of a true Anacondrai is needed. This little though essential information is found on page 148. Another spell in the book can be used to banish someone to the Cursed Realm. After Master Chen’s defeat, Clouse’s Spell Book was burnt by the ninja.[176] |

The Anacondrai Sword | The Anacondrai Sword is the sharpest of blades in the NINJAGO world, once wielded by the Anacondrai during the Serpentine War. Master Chen managed to collect many of these bone-colored weapons and armed his Anacondrai Cultists with them after they were transformed. In the wake of Chen’s defeat, the whereabouts of the weapons are unknown.[177] |
![]() |
The Jade Blades | The Jade Blades were weapons used as prizes and symbols of survival in Chen’s “Tournament of Elements”. A victorious fighter received a blade as a sign that he or she could move on to the next round. Failure to earn one meant elimination from the competition. The blades are carved from ancient serpent bone and possess no known extra powers.[178] |
![]() |
The Staff of Elements | The Staff of Elements was forged from two rare elements: Blue Crystal found in the Crystal Caves, and Chrono-steel. Chrono-steel is the only metal that is capable of absorbing the powers of living beings. Atop the staff is a Blue Crystal orb which is essential to its function, as it makes it possible for the staff to contain the powers of more than one person at once. Together, he who holds the staff holds the power. The energies of the staff would corrupt any who wielded it. Master Chen used the staff to steal the elemental powers of the fallen fighters in his tournament. Cole destroyed the staff, and the powers it contained were returned to the elemental masters.[179] |
Season Five: Possession[]
A grieving Lloyd is possessed by the ghost of Morro – the Master of Wind and Wu’s first student. In Lloyd’s body, Morro renders the other ninja powerless before stealing Wu’s staff. It contains three hidden symbols, the path to finding the Tomb of First Spinjitzu Master. Wu knows that if Morro finds the tomb, he will claim the Realm Crystal. This relic has the power to open the fabric between realms, enabling the powerful Preeminent to enter the NINJAGO world.The remaining ninja follow the clues to Yang’s Haunted Temple and learn the ancient art of aerial combat, Airjitzu. There disaster strikes. Warned to leave the Temple by sunrise, Cole waits too long and is transformed into a ghost! Then they scale the Wailing Alps to retrieve the Sword of Sanctuary from the Cloud Kingdom, only for Ronin to steal the weapon at the last moment. Meanwhile Nya discovers her mother was a Master of Water and struggles to unlock her own True Potential.Finally, they reach the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master, saving Lloyd and restoring their powers. But Morro escapes with the Realm Crystal and all the ninja can do is prepare for the Preeminent’s arrival.In the City of Stixx, Lloyd is pulled into the Cursed Realm by Morro and there Lloyd meets his father. Garmadon tells him that the Preeminent IS the Cursed Realm and must be defeated to save the NINJAGO world. With a heavy heart Lloyd pursues Morro across the realms and finally tricks the ghost into destroying himself. At the same time, the ninja confront the Preeminent, just as Nya unlocks her True Potential. She creates a tidal wave with her new Water Power, toppling the entity into the sea and drowning it. Master Wu uses the Realm Crystal to bring Lloyd back and the ninja celebrate their victory.[180]

Master Wu | Master Wu was hoping for a quiet retirement when he opened his tea business, but instead, he has to face the ghost of his very first student, Morro. Wu barely has time to come to terms with the news of Morro’s death and his own regrets, before his team has to stop the ghostly Morro from destroying the NINJAGO world. When the Cursed Realm is destroyed, and Garmadon evidently with it, Wu has even more reason to grieve.[181] |
![]() |
Kai | After the loss of Garmadon, Kai made a solemn promise to look after Lloyd, just as Nya cared for him when their parents passed away. So when Lloyd is possessed, Kai takes it very personally! He feels he has to save him single-handedly, but really he needs the whole team. They all have weaknesses, but their individual strengths come together to win the day.[182] |
![]() |
Jay | Jay is a big fan of fantasy adventure stories and games, so even when things look bleak, he’s quite enjoying this quest filled with magical relics, mysterious riddles and dangerous temple traps. Best of all is the chance to learn the lost martial art of “Airjitzu” which allows the user to take flight![183] |

Zane | Unavailable |
![]() |
Cole | The threat posed by Morro is particularly hard on Cole. Not only must he battle his greatest fear, ghosts, but he spends a moment too long in the Temple of Airjitzu and becomes one himself! He will learn that change, no matter how frightening, can be an opportunity as well.[184] |
![]() |
Nya | With the exception of Cole, no one undergoes a bigger change than Nya. After years forging her own path as Samurai X, she discovers her mother was the Master of Water. Can she unlock her true potential? Does she want to be a ninja? After some reluctance and with the help of Misako, she “goes with the flow” and becomes a powerful weapon against the Preeminent.[185] |
![]() |
Lloyd | Unavailable |
![]() |
Misako | Misako was thinking about retirement when she bought the tea farm with Master Wu. Now any thoughts of a few customers and tranquil evenings on the plantation are gone. Instead, Misako finds herself busy helping Nya unlock her true potential as Morro threatens all the realms.[81] |
![]() |
Morro | Long ago, Morro, the Master of Wind, was Master Wu’s first pupil. He had great talent and Wu believed he was on the path to becoming the Green Ninja. However, at the crucial moment, the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu did not react to him (as they would one day for Lloyd). Wu attempted to convince Morro to give up on his quest, but the embittered young man refused. Morro went off on his own in search of the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master and perished in the Caves of Despair (it’s believed he may have been killed by the explosive geysers present in the caves). For reasons that remain a mystery, he was banished to the Cursed Realm. Morro later escaped, possessed Lloyd’s body and led a ghostly legion into battle in the NINJAGO world. In the end, the Preeminent dragged Morro beneath the water and his ghostly form was destroyed.[186] |
![]() |
Ronin | Ronin is a master thief who disposed of the things he stole by selling them in a pawnshop he owned in the City of Stiix. He is in it for the money and, most of the time, cares only about himself. At some point in the past, Ronin made a bet with Soul Archer and lost his soul, then didn’t pay up. When Soul Archer escaped the Cursed Realm, he went after Ronin for payment. Ronin had to do services for the ghost in order to get his soul back. The ninja encountered Ronin when they traveled to the City of Stiix in search of the Scroll of Airjitzu, which Ronin had stolen. Ronin demanded a very high price for the scroll. He later traded information on another way to learn Airjitzu to Kai in exchange for the ninja team’s shares in Master Wu’s tea farm. This made him a partner in the business. He is resourceful and clever, but his attitude still brings him into conflict with some of the ninja. Ronin still struggles between his new life as an ally of the ninja and his old, when the only things that mattered were profit and survival. Deep down, he has a good heart, he is just reluctant to show that sometimes.[187] |

Chain Master Wrayth | Unavailable |
![]() |
Soul Archer | The ghostly lieutenant known as Soul Archer may have a mysterious past, but one thing is clear: at some point, before being banished to the Cursed Realm, Soul Archer made a bet with Ronin. The master thief lost his soul in the wager and had to do things to aid Soul Archer if he ever wanted to be able to get his soul back. Soul Archer is incredibly skilled with his bow and arrows. His arrows are capable of turning others into ghosts. Soul Archer is destroyed along with the Cursed Realm when the Preeminent is defeated.[188] |

Scythe Master Ghoultar | Unavailable |

Blade Master Bansha | Unavailable |

Skreemers | Skreemers are low-level ghosts with the power to turn anyone they touch into a ghost temporarily. Initially, Soul Archer uses them as arrowheads. Later, the Skreemers function independently. They got their name from the fact that they scream as they fly. Skreemers seem to require a lot of food, and they are usually seen carrying something to eat.[189] |
Vehicles[]
Image | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Bansha's Ghost Mech | During a battle with Nya and Ronin, Ghoultar possesses the Samurai X Mech, turning it into the Ghost Mech (or, as it is also known, Mech-Enstein.) Morro, Bansha, Soul Archer and Ghoultar had originally gone to the cave in search of a mech that could be used to climb the Wailing Alps. The mech proves a great help to the ghosts as they make the ascent. After Ghoultar’s defeat at the hands of Zane and his Titan Mech, Mech-Enstein tumbles off the mountain and into the snow.[190] | |
Blaster Bike | Cole’s Blaster Bike was designed by Cyrus Borg. Made entirely of Deepstone, it was protected against possession by ghosts. When Borg turned it over to Cole, he had made sure it was well suited for him, even down to the radio stations (everything was pre-set to Cole’s favorite music, soft rock). Armed with twin carbide blasters, it proved an effective weapon against Morro’s legion, but was finally destroyed when Cole rode it right into the Preeminent’s mouth.[191] | |
Jay Walker One | The Jay Walker One was created by Cyrus Borg for use against Morro and his ghost legion. This single seat vehicle’s primary weapon is a cannon that can absorb Skreemers and other ghosts and deposit them in a holding tank in the rear. Although officially named the Ghost Taker GT, Jay liked to call it the “Jay Walker One,” after himself. The vehicle was destroyed in battle by the Preeminent.[192] | |
Master Wu's Dragon | Many secrets remain about the true extent of Master Wu’s powers and abilities. Although he is not an Elemental Master, he has the willpower to be able to summon a dragon to aid him. While Wu is able to call upon this white and gold dragon, as the other ninja can theirs, there is evidence that Wu’s dragon can affect the physical world in ways that Elemental Dragons cannot. The true nature of this dragon remains a mystery.[193] | |
Morro's Dragon | Morro’s green, spectral dragon is in fact the spirit of his former Elemental Dragon of Wind. Like Morro, the dragon was condemned to reside in the Cursed Realm for eternity, but it escaped with its master. Morro was able to summon the dragon at will to do his bidding.[194] | |
Ronin R.E.X. | The Ronin R.E.X. is master thief Ronin’s personal airship. Although he claimed to have sold it to buy his pawnshop, it turned out the ship was actually hidden underneath the shop in case a quick getaway was needed. The R.E.X. is armed with twin blasters and programmed to respond to Ronin’s whistle. [195] | |
Wrayth's Chain Cycle | Monstrous three-wheeled vehicle created by Wrayth the Chain Master. The ghost used his strange powers to transform a regular bike into this spectral speedster. The cycle is heavily armed and impossibly fast, with spiked wheels that let it tear up the terrain. The Chain Cycle is seemingly destroyed following the collapse of a water tower on it during a battle with the ninja.[196] | |
Zane's Titan Mech | Zane’s Titan Mech is a mechanized suit of armor constructed by Nya. The Titanium Ninja used the mech to scale the Wailing Alps and defeated Ghoultar in battle there. Zane’s Titan Mech was later upgraded by Cyrus Borg to include weapons that fired Deepstone particles.[197] |
Locations[]

---|---|---|
Chima | One of the 16 parallel realms connected to the NINJAGO world, Chima is a world filled with intelligent, talking animals capable of walking on two legs. The various tribes have access to a surprisingly high level of technology and rely on a power source called CHI. It was the site of an epic battle between two alliances over the control of CHI, until other threats forced the warring sides to make peace and work together.[198] | |
City of Stiix | Commonly known as the “city built on water,” Stiix is a rancid and rundown coastal city populated primarily by fishmongers and vagrants. It always looks like it is one stiff breeze away from falling apart. Known for being constantly in need of repair and smelling so bad even the rats have moved out, it was the perfect site for Ronin’s pawnshop. Stiix was also Morro’s home base for a time and the scene of the Preeminent’s arrival in the NINJAGO realm.[199] | |
Cloud Kingdom | One of the 16 parallel realms connected to the NINJAGO world, Cloud Kingdom is perhaps the most mysterious of them all. The residents of this place are actually the ones who write the destinies of everyone in the NINJAGO world. It was they who decided Cole would be a ghost, Zane a nindroid and that Lloyd would become the Green Ninja. Somehow, though, Morro was able to escape his destiny of banishment to the Cursed Realm, which raises the possibility that someone in Cloud Kingdom provided him aid. The realm consists of a collection of beautiful buildings constructed on top of clouds. Dominating the landscape is a single tower that houses the Sword of Sanctuary.[200] | |
Ronin's Pawn Shop | Small business located in the City of Stiix and operated by master thief Ronin. Here Ronin kept all of the things he had stolen, including the Jade Blade, the Obsidian Armor, the Blade Cup trophy and Master Yang’s Scroll of Airjitzu. During a battle between the ninja and Morro’s ghosts, the shop was destroyed. It later served as Morro’s base in this realm. Needing new space, Ronin eventually rented a place in NINJAGO City.[201] | |
Temple of Airjitzu | Located on Haunted Hill, the Temple of Airjitzu (also known as “Yang’s Haunted Temple”) is an ancient building that was once home to Master Yang and his students. In a way, it still is home to them, although now they are all ghosts. It was here that Yang invented the discipline of Airjitzu. Unfortunately, this was also the place where Yang carried out rituals designed to grant him immortality. The attempt backfired horribly and turned him and his students into spirits. According to local legend, anyone who is inside the temple at sunrise will also become a ghost. That doesn’t prevent tour guides from making a good living taking people through the temple, in fact, it probably helps their business. Everybody likes a good haunt. Among the notable features of the temple grounds are a blacksmith shop, a bridge guarded by stone dragons and a spinning shadow theater.[202] | |
Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master | An extremely ancient place of power, long believed to be just a legend, the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master is almost impossible to locate. The sole clues to its location were carved onto Master Wu’s bo staff by the First Spinjitzu Master, although Wu did not know this. Only a master of Spinjitzu can hope to reach its gates, and even then, the way is not easy. First, one must possess the Scroll of Airjitzu and learn that discipline. After climbing the Wailing Alps and going through the vortex into the Cloud Kingdom, it’s necessary to obtain the Sword of Sanctuary. Using the Sword, it is possible to reveal the location of the tomb. The tomb is actually below the ocean, with three dangerous traps designed to protect the contents from intruders. The Sword of Sanctuary is necessary to navigate past these traps. Located inside the tomb is the fabled Realm Crystal, which allows the wielder to access any of the 16 realms.[203] | |
Wailing Alps | The highest peaks on NINJAGO Island, the Wailing Alps get their name from the mournful sound made by the wind as it blows through the canyons. They say the winds can gust so powerfully at times that they could blow a traveler right off the mountains. Bitterly cold, with almost constant snowfall, the Wailing Alps are among the most inhospitable places in the NINJAGO world.[204] |

Aeroblades | A boomerang-like weapon made of Deepstone, the only solid substance that can affect a ghost. The ninja first discover Aeroblades in Ronin’s pawnshop, and later use them as weapons against Morro and his ghostly forces. Ronin keeps a cache of Aeroblades onboard his aircraft R.E.X.[205] |
![]() |
Deepstone | Unavailable |
Realm Crystal | A 16-sided crystalline object that allows the user access to any of the realms connected to the NINJAGO world. Each of the 16 facets of the crystal provides entry to a different realm. The Realm Crystal was created by the First Spinjitzu Master and no one knows if more than one is in existence. The First Spinjitzu Master knew the crystal was incredibly powerful and could cause terrible danger if it fell into the wrong hands, so he had it sealed within his tomb. The Realm Crystal is blue in color.[206] | |
![]() |
Sword of Sanctuary | Found in a tower in the Cloud Kingdom realm, the Sword of Sanctuary is a potentially devastating weapon in combat. The wielder can see his opponent’s next move reflected in the surface of the blade ahead of time, allowing him to counter it. The ninja use the Sword to help them navigate through the traps and dangers that surround the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master.[207] |
![]() |
Wu's Bo Staff | Wu’s staff originally belonged to his father, the First Spinjitzu Master. Unknown to Wu, the staff’s engravings were clues to the location of the First Spinjitzu Master’s tomb. Wu had spent many years searching for his father’s final resting place, never knowing he held the clues in his hand.[208] |
Season Six: Skybound[]
With the defeat of Morro’s ghost invasion, the ninja have now become huge media celebrities. But dark forces once more threaten NINJAGO Island as the Teapot of Tyrahn is rediscovered by the ghost of Clouse, Master Chen’s former right-hand man. He allows Nadakhan, an evil Djinn and captain of the infamous Misfortune’s Keep, to escape the teapot. After reassembling his pirate crew, Nadakhan returns to his home realm of Djinjago, to find it collapsing. This destruction, caused by the ninja defeating the Preeminent, leads Nadakhan to vow revenge. He refits his ship so it can fly and prepares to attack. Now they are Sky Pirates. He plans to recreate Djinjago in the skies using pieces torn from NINJAGO Island. In his way are the ninja, but each one is tested by the Djinn’s wish-granting powers. They find their desires twisted against them. One by one they find themselves trapped in his Djinn Blade where their energy makes Nadakhan more powerful. Then Nadakhan sees Nya, who looks exactly like his long-lost love, Delara. If he can marry Nya, it will restore Delara’s spirit and grant the Djinn infinite wishes. As Nadakhan plans a wedding, the remaining ninja seek the venom of the giant Tiger Widow spider, the only thing that can slow down the all-powerful Djinn. But to harvest it they must battle sand worms and Sky Pirates, and by the time Jay frees his friends from the Djinn Blade, they are unable to stop the forced marriage. Then the Sky Pirates, each one a victim of Nadakhan’s wish-spells, mutiny and use the Tiger Widow venom. But just as Nadakhan is defeated and his spells reverse, Nya is touched by the poison and begins to die. In his grief, Jay makes his final wish – that the Teapot of Tyrahn had never been found. The world resets to the start of the story with Nadakhan again trapped and the teapot dumped into the sea. Only Jay and Nya, now a couple, remember anything that has happened.[209]

Master Wu | After the sacrifice of his brother, Master Wu is once again the ninja team’s only leader. He has always tried to prepare them for the day when he too might be gone, and that day unexpectedly arrives! He perceives the threat from Clouse and travels to the Ancient Library of Domu to discover what the ghost is seeking. Wu uncovers the tale of Nadakhan but only in time to be trapped by the Djinn in the Teapot of Tyrahn.[210] | |
Kai | Kai loves being a celebrity. He loves being an action figure, he loves the screams of the fans, and all this crazy ninja stuff is kind of getting in the way. He’s not ready for the threat of Nadakhan or to confront his own past, which endangers the team. Like the other ninja he is given three wishes by the Djinn which don’t go to plan. He ends up trapping himself in Nadakhan’s Djinn Blade and only escapes in time to crash Nya’s wedding.[211] | |
Jay | Jay wants things with Nya to be different, so he makes some thoughtless wishes that cause a great deal of pain. Realizing the difference between what he wants and what the team needs, he refuses to make his final wish and is able to free the others from the Djinn Blade. It’s only when Nya is dying that he wishes that the Teapot of Tyrahn had never been found. The world resets, with the teapot lost and all of the events caused by Nadakhan’s reappearance erased from history. Only Jay and Nya remember anything.[81] | |
Zane | Unavailable | |
![]() |
Cole | Their battle with Morro may have been won, but Cole paid a heavy price … he’s still a ghost! Although he came close to despair, Cole has adapted. He has learned to touch physical objects, yet still "ghosts" through walls and he can now access all his elemental powers. Cole’s new skills serve the ninja well, until he makes a wish too many and is trapped in Nadakhan’s Djinn Blade.[81] |
Nya | Unavailable | |
Lloyd | The loss of his father, Garmadon, hit Lloyd very hard, but after their final meeting Lloyd channeled those feelings and started on a new path. He remains committed to the job that Wu has given them and he’s less and less interested in all the promotional work the ninja are doing. He’s beginning to think they might be taking their eye off the ball. When Lloyd comes to make his wishes he is full of good intentions, but discovers that isn’t enough.[212] | |
Misako | Lloyd’s mother, Misako, is mentoring Nya and encouraging her to chart her own course, rather than letting others determine who she is. Nya has to deal with the loss of her new mentor when Misako is arrested trying to save Lloyd in the City of Stiix and is ambushed by Nadakhan.[81] | |
Dareth | Dareth is a martial arts master who runs a small dojo and refers to himself as “Grand Master Dareth.” The ninja met him when they were looking for someone to train Lloyd Garmadon. He has no special powers and is much better at talking than taking effective action. It was only later, when he played a vital role in stopping the Stone Army, that the ninja accepted him as one of their own and he got the title: Brown Ninja. Dareth is a “master” of all animal fighting styles. According to him, he is the Master of Disguise, with the ability to create fake identities. He helped Nya to look like a Kabuki dancer, so she could wander unnoticed into Chen’s Palace. Once the ninja become big celebrities, Dareth takes on the roles of manager, promoter and movie director for the team.[213] | |
![]() |
Djinn King | The Djinn King is Nadakhan’s father and was the ruler of the realm of Djinjago. When Djinjago began to crumble, the Djinn King refused to leave, preferring to perish with his kingdom. He bestowed the Djinn Blade on Nadakhan before sending him back to the NINJAGO realm.[214] |

Cyren | Cyren wanted to be the world’s greatest singer. Nadakhan granted her wish by giving her a voice that could throw people into a trance. As a result, becoming a member of his pirate crew became her only option. Cyren can mesmerize the guards in a coastal village or the crew of an opposing ship with one song. Sailors who know of her take care to always keep a supply of earplugs on hand.[215] | |

Tommy – The Bad Detective | Tommy is part of a team of NINJAGO City police detectives whose job it is to get suspects to confess. His role is to be mean and harsh to the suspect, in order to either scare him into confessing or make it more likely he will confess to “good” detective Simon, who is being friendly and nice.[216] |
Captain Soto | Captain Soto is a pirate and the original captain of Destiny’s Bounty, back in the long-ago days when it was a sailing ship. A sinister pirate, he perished many years ago but was brought back to life by Lord Garmadon’s Mega-Weapon. He seized control of Garmadon’s ship and tried to return to his life of piracy, but was defeated by the ninja and sent to Kryptarium Prison. It was later revealed that Soto had been the one who imprisoned Nadakhan in the Teapot of Tyrahn. Soto had used Tiger Widow venom to slow the Djinn down long enough to defeat him. Fearing the Djinn might escape one day, Soto hid a map showing the location of Tiger Widow Island in a lantern on Misfortune’s Keep. He was part of the team Jay recruited to rescue Nya and the other ninja from Nadakhan.[217] | |
![]() |
Commissioner | The Commissioner is the very stressed and temperamental official in charge of the NINJAGO City Police Department. He tends to act first and think later, so when it appears the ninja are committing crimes, he immediately orders their arrest. Later, he joins Jay’s team of heroes on a rescue mission to save Nya and the other ninja from Nadakhan. The Commissioner was a blue-ribbon swimmer in his younger years. When he gets upset, his eyes begin to twitch.[218] |
![]() |
Simon – The Good Detective | Simon is part of a team of NINJAGO City police detectives whose job it is to get suspects to confess. His role is to be kind to anyone who is being questioned – getting them water, something to eat, and generally being a friend – in the hope of winning their trust.[219] |

Hydro Electric Dragon | When Jay found he was too exhausted to summon his dragon, he and Nya combined powers to bring a Hydro Electric Dragon into being. It has the powers of both Water and Lightning. Since the dragon’s presence is maintained only by the combined willpower of the two ninja, it can only fly for short distances.[220] | |
Kai's Bike | Unavailable | |
Misfortune's Keep | Misfortune’s Keep is the pirate ship used by Nadakhan and his crew of pirates. Originally, it sailed the seas in years past, commanded by the Djinn. But when Captain Soto defeated Nadakhan, the ship was abandoned. When Nadakhan escaped the Teapot of Tyrahn and retrieved his crew from the realms they had been banished to, the ship was refit for action. Monkey Wretch converted it to a flying vessel and designed other vehicles like the Raid Zeppelin. Thus, Nadakhan’s pirate crew became Sky Pirates. Heavily armed with cannons, the ship was both fast and maneuverable. Unknown to Nadakhan, the map to Tiger Widow Island was hidden in a lantern on board. When Jay rammed Misfortune’s Keep into the Djinn Temple, the ship was destroyed and tumbled into the sea.[221] | |

Cliff Gordon's Estate | Movie star Cliff Gordon lived in this palatial home for many years. Although Jay did not know that Gordon was his biological father, Gordon knew about Jay and followed his ninja career from the beginning. He kept a blue ninja outfit and pictures of Jay in his house to remind him of his son. Gordon also had a secret room in the house where he kept costumes and memorabilia from his movies. With the news that the late Gordon was his father, Jay is now the legal owner of his mansion.[222] | |
Djinjago | Djinjago is one of the 16 realms parallel to the NINJAGO world and accessible via the Realm Crystal. It was home to Nadakhan’s people, the Djinn, who had the power to grant wishes to others. Djinjago was a place of floating sky islands connected by ancient stone bridges. When the ninja destroyed the Cursed Realm, they unwittingly destroyed Djinjago too (Djinjago being close enough in dimensional space to the Cursed Realm to be affected by its destruction). Nadakhan attempted to recreate Djinjago in mid-air, using pieces of land stolen from NINJAGO Island.[223] | |
Djinn Palace | The Djinn Palace was the ancestral home of the royal family of Djinjago, of which Nadakhan is a member. It was destroyed along with the rest of the realm, but not before the Djinn King bestowed the Djinn Blade onto his son, Nadakhan.[224] | |
Endless Sea | The Endless Sea is the largest body of water on the NINJAGO world, covering the expanse between NINJAGO Island and Dark Island. Over the centuries, it has been home to merchant vessels, pirate ships and fishing boats. Coastal towns still draw their living from the sea, trading in fish as well as relying on the day’s catch for their own food. The Endless Sea is well stocked with marine life, some of it monstrous, including Starteeth, sharks, the Leviathan and more.[225] | |
Ninjago City Police Station | The NINJAGO City Police Station is the headquarters for the Commissioner of Police. From here, he oversees the safety and security of the city and its people. This is also the site of the NINJAGO Police archive (the password to get into it is PASSWORD).[226] | |
Repo Yard | The repo yard is a site filled with old cars, metal junk and vehicles that have been confiscated by the NINJAGO City Police. It is located on the outskirts of NINJAGO City in the Northern Sea of Sand and protected by an electrified fence and a mean dog. Destiny’s Bounty wound up here after being seized by the police. The repo yard was the first site stolen by Nadakhan to be part of his recreated Djinjago, so nothing exists there now but a big hole.[227] | |
Teapot of Tyrahn | The Teapot of Tyrahn is an ancient relic capable of trapping mortals inside for eternity. Captain Soto imprisoned Nadakhan inside the Teapot, where he remained until freed by Clouse. Nadakhan showed his “gratitude” by trapping Clouse inside, and later captured Master Wu and Misako as well. Opening the Teapot requires aligning the symbols on three rotating rings. Like a combination lock, the three rotating rings make up a pirate symbol. After Nadakhan destroyed the Teapot, Clouse, Wu and Misako went into the Djinn Blade.[228] | |
Tiger Widow Island | Tiger Widow Island is a small tropical landmass in the Endless Sea. It is named for its most infamous inhabitant, the massive Tiger Widow spider. The Tiger Widow makes its nest here, but it is not the only resident. The island is also home to sand worms, which burrow beneath the surface and react aggressively to any movement above. The location of Tiger Widow Island is not listed on any published map or included in any map database. The only map to reveal its whereabouts was a chart prepared by Captain Soto and hidden in a lantern on board Misfortune’s Keep.[229] |
Weapons[]

Clancee's Mop | Clancee is rarely seen without his mop, which he keeps on hand in case he spots a mess that needs cleaning (plus no one trusts him with a sword). He’s used it in a fight a few times, although it hasn’t had much effect beyond getting his opponents really clean. Clancee takes a lot of pride in his mop and won’t even let Sqiffy and Bucko use it, even though, as new recruits, cleaning up should really be their job.[230] | |
![]() |
Djinn Blade | The Djinn Blade, also known as the Sword of Souls, is the weapon of the royal house of Djinjago. Upon the realm’s destruction, the king passed it on to his son, Nadakhan. The sword has the unique power to trap spirits within its blade, allowing the wielder to use their life force to increase his own power. It holds the spirits of Nadakhan’s forefathers and all those who have fallen before the blade. Nadakhan set out to capture the ninja by manipulating them into making wishes that went terribly wrong. He eventually trapped Cole, Kai, Lloyd and Zane in the sword, along with Wu, Misako and Clouse (the latter three were originally trapped in the Teapot of Tyrahn, but when the Teapot is destroyed, their spirits travel into the sword). They were later freed from the sword by Jay.[231] |
Dogshank's Anchor | After Dogshank transformed, she looked around for a weapon she could carry that would really intimidate people. She looked at swords and axes and spears, but none of them did it for her. Then she thought of carrying an entire tree, but it was too hard to fit through doors. Finally, she settled on a ship’s anchor, which could be used like a melee weapon or thrown at a foe. Plus it came in handy if Misfortune’s Keep ever lost its anchor. And it gives Dogshank the chance to shout, “This anchor will sink you!”[232] | |

Tiger Widow Venom | The venom of the giant Tiger Widow spider is one of the most toxic substances in existence. A single drop of this substance is capable of causing death within minutes. It is also one of the only effective weapons against a Djinn, as it drains the magical being of energy and endurance. This has the effect of slowing down the normally super-fast Djinn, making it possible for other attacks to be launched successfully. Captain Soto used Tiger Widow venom to defeat Nadakhan and imprison him in the Teapot of Tyrahn. Jay harvested some of this venom on Tiger Widow Island for use on Nadakhan.[233] |
Trivia[]
- Chokun is the only Serpentine from Season 1 not to have a page. The reason for this is unknown.
- Snike's image is oddly missing his torso printing, even though he has it the full version of the render used.
- The character gallery for Season 2 originally only featured characters who appeared in the sets from the season,[234] but it was later updated to include Misako, Captain Soto, and Dareth.[235]
- The vehicle gallery for Season 3 features the NinjaCopter twice.[236] The URL for the first one appears to link to a page for Cole's Earth Mech, but both pages are for the NinjaCopter.[120][237] As such, the Earth Mech does not have a page.
- The same issue is present in Season 3's location gallery, with the Temple of Fortitude[129] appearing twice[238] at the expense of New Ninjago City.[239]
- Jay's Lightning off-roader is referred to as the Thunder Raider, even though "Thunder Raider" is only the name of the vehicle when it's combined with Cole's Earth Mech.
- The descriptions for the four Techno Blades are the same.
- Though a gallery for Season 7 was added in 2017,[243] it remains inaccessible as none of its pages were archived. However, there was a similar character gallery for Season 7 around the same time,[244] and the description for the Vermillion Dome of Doom was also copied to this wiki when the site was up.[245]
- A museum gallery for The LEGO Ninjago Movie also existed, though no pages have been archived besides copied text from the descriptions for General #1, the Lost Generals, and the Ultimate Weapon.[246][247][248]
- Morro's dragon is stated to be the spirit of the Elemental Dragon of Wind, but according to Tommy Andreasen[249] and the Visual Dictionary New Edition, it's a corrupted version of Lloyd's Energy Dragon.
