| — Skales Jr. and Jay, "Secrets Discovered" |
Skales Jr. is a member of the Hypnobrai tribe, as well as the son of Skales and Selma. Junior was born in the Serpentine village, where he resided with the Serpentine before returning to the surface following the Golden Master's defeat. During the Second Serpentine War, he and his father fought in the battle against the Anacondrai Cultists.
History[]
Background[]
The only son of Skales and Selma, Skales Jr. was hatched sometime after the Serpentine were locked in the Tomb of the Stone Army.[1]
The Curse of the Golden Master[]
Skales Jr. appears with his parents inside the Serpentine village, being introduced to the ninja by his father when they stumbled across the underground area. When Cryptor and the Nindroids raided the tomb, Cryptor attacked Skales Jr, but he was saved by the ninja.
The Titanium Ninja[]
Skales Jr. and his father watch the Overlord attack New Ninjago City.
After the Nindroid crisis[]
Following the Golden Master's defeat at the hands of Zane, Skales Jr. and the other Serpentine left the tomb to live in Ninjago with the people.
The Corridor of Elders[]
Skales Jr. and his father were addressed by Zane in the crowd near the Titanium Ninja statue. During the battle at the Corridor of Elders, Junior and a kid threw gumballs at the Anacondrai Cultists, causing them to slip and fall, with Junior giving a high-five to the kid.
Secrets Discovered[]
Skales Jr. and his father were on the run from the Vermillion. They were attacked by the ninja, who did not realize who they were before Lloyd tells them to stand down. After hearing Jay insult his name, Skales Jr. pushes him off of him before his father tells their reason for being down in the sewers. They, along with some Constrictai, were following Acronix and Krux on suspicion that they were using a swamp to nest the Vermillion warriors, who are children of the Great Devourer. After his father gives the ninja a map to the swamp, Jay apologizes to Skales Jr., but he is insulted at being called "junior" and "kid", before telling his father that they should stay out of his way.
Raiders of the lost trophy![]
While playing at the lake, he accidently hypnotised himself, so he went to the Ninjago City Hospital with his father.
Appearance[]
Skales Jr.'s appearance is very similar to Rattla's, but he has shorter legs and wears a blue hoodie and has light gray legs. It's unknown if he is wearing pants, as his legs would presumably also be light gray.

Trivia[]
- Skales Jr. is the first Serpentine to wear a full set of human-like clothing except for an ancient Serpentine tribe. Presumably he got it from one of the Serpentine's trips to the surface.
- His age seems to confirm that Serpentine have a short childhood and faster growth rate, as not much time passed between seasons 2 and 3.[1][2]
- Unlike his father, Skales Jr. looks more humanoid in appearance, even more than his mother. While both of his parents have specialized head models, Skales Jr. has a normal minifigure head with snake "hood" over it.
- It is possible that it depends on the rank and may gradually change as he acquires higher ranks.
- His head is the same as Rattla.
- He is one of fifteen Serpentine whose name is mentioned in the show, with the others being Skales, Pythor, Arcturus, Clancee, Raggmunk, Blunck, Machia, Aspheera, Char, Acidicus, Mambo V, Mikloshe, Spitz, and SsssSsss Underwood.
- He is one of the few male characters to have a female voice actor, the others being Lloyd (Seasons 1 to 7), Brad, Gene, Wu (as a baby), Leroy, Sammy, and Ginkle.
- The Hageman Brothers once tweeted that Skales Jr. "passed away two years ago from an unfortunate jet ski accident."[3] However, this is non-canon as he appeared in Season 7 (specifically "Secrets Discovered") and Season 8 takes place only a year later, as revealed by Cole in "The Mask of Deception."
- Tommy Andreasen reacted jokingly that he planned to use him as the mastermind of the entire series in 2019.[4]
