History

Legacy of the Green Ninja

Upon announcing his treachery to Garmadon, the Overlord disclosed that he had been manipulating Garmadon to facilitate his plan to conquer Ninjago. He then possessed Garmadon's body, transforming it into a dragon, thereby allowing the Overlord to reclaim his original form.

Rebooted

As a virus, the Overlord initially possessed the artificial limbs to serve as his body, much to his frustration.

In a later encounter, the Overlord took control of a Nindroid Warrior to speak with Zane, disclosing that he had diverted the attention of the ninja during the assault of the Nindroid Army on the Serpentine, thereby allowing him to seize Lloyd. Subsequently, the Overlord possessed the Nindroid MechDragon as he confronted Lloyd at Hiroshi's Labyrinth.

Skybound

After Nadakhan achieves infinite wishes, he wished for Delara to return to life, her spirit takes over Nya's body. When Flintlocke hit Delara and Nadakhan with the Tiger Widow Venom is weakened Nadakhan's power so Nya returned to her body fatally injured.

Day of the Departed

On the Day of the Departed, Yang used the catalyzed magic of the Yin-Yang Eclipse to enhance the Yin Blade, tricking Cole into using its abilities to cut a rift from the Departed Realm to Ninjago for him to return. Using the Yin Blade's magic, Yang was able to bring back the souls of Samukai, Kozu, Cryptor, Chen, Morro, two Stone Swordsmen, two Stone Scouts, three Nindroid Warriors, Eyezor, and Zugu from the Departed Realm, placing their spirits in statues modeled after their original bodies.

Amber Spiral

The Original Master of Amber was trying to escape from the Urn of Enmity using Skylor's body, but was defeated and sent to the Departed Realm.

Master of the Mountain

Centuries after his death, Hazza D'ur managed to preserve his spirit by possessing his skull. The skull, and Hazza D'ur's spirit, would be utilized by Vangelis until the skull's destruction at the hands of Cole releasing Hazza D'ur's spirit to the Departed Realm.
