Slithraa

"Look into my eyessss...give up your mind... I will control you."

―Slithraa to Lloyd Garmadon

Slithraa is a Ninjago minifigure. In the theme, he is a member and former general of the villainous Hypnobraisnake tribe.

Background 

Slithraa was the original general of the Hypnobrai tribe. When Lloyd Garmadon stumbled upon their tomb and released them, Slithraa tried to hypnotize Lloyd into obedience. Unfortunatly, he hypnotized himself because Lloyd fell down and the circular beams reflected off a stalagmite. After that, Lloyd took control of him. When Lloyd first started using them as a personal army, Slithraa never questioned his orders. When they attacked Jamonicia village, Cole knocked the Snake Staff out of his hand. Lloyd called the retreat, and Slithraa ordered his troops to fall back. At the end of the episode, he is seen arguing with his second in command, Skales. After the battle with the ninjas, they began to work on building a treehouse for Lloyd. He tells Skales and Rattla to stop slacking and get to work. Later, the treehouse is destroyed and the stolen staff is recovered. Skales claims right to the staff, and he challenges him to fight for it in the "Slither Pit". The two face off, and Mezmo (the judge) tells them to retrieve two weapons. Then Mezmo orders to turn the floor on an angle, and Skales uses the distraction to entrance the general when he tries to entrance Skales. Skalesuses fang-kwon-do and defeats Slithraa, then takes the staff. Skales grew a tail, and Slithraa grew legs and lost his tail. He then becomes loyal to Skales.

LEGO.com Bio:

He is the original keeper of the magic Hypnobrai staff and head of the Hypnobrai tribe.

After his attempt to hypnotize Lloyd in the ice cave backfires and leaves Slithraa in Lloyd’s control, his authority is drawn into serious question.

However, Slithraa seems content to lead the Hypnobrai into Lloyd’s battles for sugar and ultimate bad boyhood. After all, Lloyd released them from the ice cave, and no one would ever dare challenge him as long as he still holds the Staff.

Samukai

Soon, the four weapons will be mine!"

―LEGO Club Magazine November/December 2011

"You're powerful Garmadon, but don't forget who rules this place with four iron fists."

―Ninjago Official Guide

Samukai is a four-armed Ninjago Skeleton. According to the Ninjago Website, he is the King of the Underworld andskulkin general of fire, until Lord Garmadon arrived in the Underworld and defeated him in a duel, thus Garmadon becomes the new King and relegated Samukai into being a servant of his, though Samukai remains his title as general of the Skulkin army.

In the beginning of LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, he and his army steal a map from Kai and Nya's shop that leads to the four weapons. The ninjas, Cole, Jay, Zane, andKai, later steal the map back. Samukai and his army face them after the ninjas retrieve the Scythe of Quakes, but retreat when they see the Earth Dragon. Later, he and his army ambush the ninjas in the Forest of Tranquility and escape with three of the four weapons to the Underworld. As Samukai approaches Lord Garmadon with the weapons, he fights and defeats Sensei Wu, taking the last weapon from him. However, instead of giving his master the weapons, he betrays Garmadon and takes them for himself. Ironically, he was destroyed by the power he swore he'd once contain. Garmadon said it was a vortex through space and time.

Nuckal

Fear me, for there is no stopping me."

―LEGO Club Magazine November/December 2011

Nuckal is a Ninjago minifigure introduced in 2011 within three sets, 2173 Nuckal, 2504 Spinjitzu Dojo, and 2518 Nuckal's ATV. He is the Skulkin General of Lightning underSamukai's command.

           The childish and unintelligent General of Lightning, Nuckal serves under the command of Samukai alongside his companion General Kruncha (whom he often fights with) and commands the skeletal legions of Lightning. He made his first appearance in Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu where he was seen laying seige on Kai and Nya's village, and snuck off to find the map to the Golden Weapons with Kruncha. Later he assisted in the mining of for the Scythe of Quakes at the Caves of Despair and also captured Cole,Zane and Jay at the Fire Temple while Garmadon seized the Sword of Fire. Eventually, he and Kruncha traveled back to the Underworld and guarded passage to Lord Garmadon's fortress, where Nuckal performed "Ninja Searches" on all cargo entering the fort. They were both imprisoned, however when the ninja performed the "Tornado of Creation", which locked the remaining skeleton army into a ferris wheel-like prison, the two generals amongst them. In the New Masters of spinjitzu minisode, the two somehow escape their predicament and use the skull truck to travel to the Monastery and stole the Golden Weapons from the ninja, but the plan backfired and the weapons were returned shortly. The generals soon joined up with Wyplash and a few other remaining skeletons, and banded together and traveled to the Fire Temple. At the temple, they discovered a hidden entrance to the Underworld, where they attempted to release more skeletons and gain vengeance for Samukai. However, Kai and Nya apprehended their plan and caused the skeletons to disband, destroying any remainders of the army. In Never Trust a Snake, Nuckal and Kruncha appeared as "substitute teachers" for a boarding school for bad boys, but were tied and gagged by Lloyd Garmadon and Pythor P. Chumsworth when they invaded the school. They were freed by Cole, but made them promise to leave Ninjago. He appears with his friend Kruncha in the episode Tick Tock playing rock, paper, scissors.

Kai

You thought I was hot before, well now I got a dragon and I'm really on fire!"

―LEGO Club Magazine November/December 2011

Kai is a red ninja minifigure released in 2011 as part of the Ninjago theme his father was the blacksmith that Sensei Wu gave the map to the golden weopons to.

Kai is the Ninja of Fire and brother of Nya. He was a blacksmith before apprenticing himself to Sensei Wu. Kai is fiery in both fighting style and temper and a very independent character. However, he eventually gained control over his impulsive tendencies.

In Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu; Kai and his sister, Nya, were working in their family blacksmith shop, Four Weapons. They were approached by Sensei Wu who showed disdain for the weapons they made, saying they are useless in the art of stealth. He also says there are only tools/weapons for a samurai, but nothing for a ninja. Kai drove him off, who in turn disappeared when Kai turned his back. Moments later, a dark cloud appeared over the village, with local farmers being the first to notice. On the edge of the hill, a large vehicle (the Skull Truck) appeared along with many motorcycles, all with skullkin on board, notably General Nuckal, Kruncha, and Samukai. The farmers attacked the skullkins, only to run at the last second. Then, Kai, wearing hand-crafted samurai armour, helmet, and sword, engaged in battle, with Nya joining in. Kai was nearly killed by Samukai, only to be saved bySensei Wu, who reappeared just in time. He is not able to save Nya, as she is kidnapped under the orders of Lord Garmadon. Sensei tells Kai in the story of Ninjago.

After telling Kai the story, he told him Kai's father had a map made by Sensei Wu to hide the Golden Weapons, also, Garmadon had struck a deal with Samukai, and that Wu was the younger brother. Kai at first refuses to get involved, until realizing he wouldn't stand a chance. He trained in Wu's monastery, and after completing his training, he awaits a final test, but is told he has already learned spinjitzu. Later that night, Kai was ambushed by three ninjas, and the ensuing battle causes him to be thrown out onto the training grounds. Kai activated the training course and the obstacles disarmed the attackers. Moments later, Sensei Wu stops the fight, revealing that the three are his other students. He used spinjitzu to transform their black ninja outfits into colored ninja outfits. The four are introduced to each other: Cole, the black ninja of earth, who is solid as rock; Jay, the blue ninja of lightning; Zane, the white ninja of ice and seer with a sixth sense; and Kai, the red ninja of fire. Introductions were cut short as Wu announced the search for the golden weapons has begun.

The first destination was the Caves of Despair, where Kai raced off in hopes of finding Nya. Instead, he nearly was caught by the skullkin Krazi who was about to raise the alarm, had it not been for the other three messing up the skeleton and shoving its Bone weapon into its mouth. As the four capture the weapon, they were attacked bySamukai and a whole legion of skullkins. Jay noticed the enemies to be just like the training course, and after going through the motions Wu taught him, he summoned a tornado of energy corresponding with his element. In other words: he performed spinjitzu, followed by the others. Samukai and his legion retreated, as they saw theEarth Dragon guardian of the Scythe appear behind the ninja. In desperation, Kai used the scythe, despite Wu's instruction not to use the weapon's power, as no mortal could handle it. A rift appeared in the cave ceiling, and the ninjas managed to escape. Sensei Wu becomes angry at Kai for using the weapon's power.

As the ninjas were headed to the shurikens of ice, Wu taught them the most powerful move in spinjitzu: the Tornado of Creation. The boat arrived, crashing into the island, and the ninjas entered the frozen plains. The three yet again escape another dragon, as Zane was frozen upon contact with the weapons, and the others used him as a snowboard, with the weapons being in their possession, they continue on. At the Floating Ruins, they climbed a giant chain to the nunchucks of lightning, jumping down to escape the lightning dragon. The four use special inventions made by [[Jay,backpacks that spawn wings. The ninjas are at such a high altitude that they were able to fly to all the way to the Forest of Tranquility, the location of the sword of fire. After everyone fell asleep, Kai was awoken by none other than Nya. She ran away, and Kai chased her through the forest, eventually entering the fire temple. Nya was then revealed to be an illusion made by Lord Garmadon in a shadow form. He exploits the fact that Kai had forgotten his sword, and that the real Nya is hanging from chains above the lava. Garmadon tells him the only way to save Nya is to pull the Sword of Fire out of it’s rock. Kai obtains the sword, cuts Nya free, and was then confronted by solid shadows. Wu arrived and attempted to take them out, but the dragon appeared. Sensei decides to make a sacrifice and jumps on a rock that was headed down a lava fall so he may bring the sword to the Underworld. Kai tried to ask Sensei if there is another way and blamed himself for going after Nya alone, but its too late. The other ninjas then traveled to [2507 Fire Temple|[the Fire temple]] where Zane sensed the Sword of Fire was. Kai and Nya then appeared with the fire dragon. After the others get the dragons of their respective elements, they go to the underworld where they then battle the skullkin army and giant spiders using the Tornado of Creation. The Kai and the other ninjas then entered Garmadon's throne room where they witnessed Samukaidefeat Wu. Samukai then grabbed the Sword of Fire. He planned to destroy Garmadon with the weapons but soon disintegrates from all of the power streaming into him from all the Golden Weapons and in his place is a portal which Garmadon goes through to escape the underworld. When he is gone, Sensei Wu informed that he will return one day. The four ninjas then return to Kai and Nya's village where they are welcomed by Nya and the villagers as heroes.

In the Spinjitzu Smash! online game, Kai was a playable character. He traveled to reclaim the sword of fire from the Skullkins with guidance from Sensei Wu and .

In the Spinjitzu Smash! DX sequel, Kai and the other ninjas traveled to the underworld to rescue Nya and the golden weapons from the Skullkins and giant spiders. While in the underworld, Kai reconnected with his late father, whose spirit helped guide them.

In the new Ninjago mini-movie, Rise of the Snakes, he and the other ninjas go to investigate the report of lord Garmmadon's return. They go to Jamonicia village to see Lloyd Garmadon , his son, terrorizing the people. After leaving him to the villagers, he finds the scroll decrypting the coming of the Green Ninja (Ninjago). He asks himself if he will become him. After beating Jay, he faces off against Cole, during which his sword nearly burns down the entire monastery. Afterwords, Sensei Wu claims the Serpentine are back, and upon return to Jamonicia village, encounter the Hypnobrai tribe. Kai's appearance in this battle is limited, only to show that his Spinjitzu is too unstable to control. After the battle, he asks Sensei Wu to teach them the secrets of the golden weapons.

In the second premiere of Rise of the Snakes, Home, he and the other ninjas make fun of Zane for his odd behavior, Kai's case is when Zane left a mysterious note that he "consumed the last of the deli meat. Cheese?". When they follow Zane to the tree house of Lloyd Garmadon, he is the first to cut the ropes. After Cole is pitched against the others as a distraction, he refuses to use his sword in fear of destroying the entire place. After Sensei Wu un-trances him, they return to see the monastery in flames. Kai is the first to turn on Zane. After Zane flies off, he and the other ninjas take shelter and see Zane approaching them. After he explains that he flew off to see the falcon, he leads them to their new home, the ship Destiny's Bounty.
