MetalBeard (also spelled Metal Beard in the credits) is a character that appears as one of the secondary tritagonists of The LEGO Movie and a supporting character in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. He is a pirate obsessed with revenge on Lord Business for taking his body parts. It is also revealed that he built his suit from scratch. He is voiced by Nick Offerman.
Background[]
A long time ago, MetalBeard and his Master Builder pirate crew infiltrated the Octan Tower. His fellow crew members were taken prisoner for the Think Tank, but MetalBeard tried to free his crew but he was spotted and managed to survive and retreat, though at the cost of being "bricked" by Lord Business (Even though he actually got dogpiled by drones of the Robo SWAT). He was then forced to build a new body from scratch, resulting in his present state.
After that, he was in the meeting of the Master Builders in Cloud Cuckoo Land. He then explains to Emmet about how he got "bricked" by Lord Business, despite coming up "with every conceivable plan imaginable". He soon leaves upon hearing the construction worker has no creative skill, saying he's "leaving on a lost cause."
MetalBeard soon rescues the gang on his Sea Cow when he notices Lord Business' forces overlook the double-decker couch that was the gang's flotation device. Surprised, Metalbeard turns loyal to Emmet's "dumb and bad" ideas with the other Builders. After successfully infiltrating the Octan tower, MetalBeard assisted Benny in getting to the controls that are connected to the Kragle until they end up captured by Lord Business' forces. MetalBeard was seen on top of Benny's spaceship in the battle of Bricksburg.
In the real world, MetalBeard was created by Finn much to "The Man Upstairs"' confusion.
After the battle, MetalBeard gets ice cream and then saw Duplo Aliens.

Notes[]
- His actor bio in the earlier production of this film reveals that his real name is Craggy. However, his real name could be referenced to Cragger from Legends of Chima.
- The LEGO Movie Video Game features a minifigure version. This is what MetalBeard was like before he was "bricked" by Lord Business.
- He shared the same body and legs as the Pirate Captain.
- In Metalbeard's flashback, Metalbeard's crew consisted of a Magician, Speed Racer, The Flash, Disco Dude, a Lady Pirate, a male pirate, a Witch, a Mime, and Medusa. There are more crew members in Metalbeard's crew during the flashback which consists of a Ringmaster, Michelangelo, a zookeeper, and a Pirate Captain were seen with the other crew members in the Octan tower.
- In his crew picture, there is a Magician, but he appeared in Cloud Cuckoo Land (probably a movie error). Either he survived or escaped the Think Tank.
- His beard and eye patch are made of metal, hence the name "MetalBeard."
- Metalbeard's anatomy is changed in the theme set and the video game.
- In the movie during the scenes in the LEGO world, MetalBeard has his full-size variant. In the real world, he has his MiniBeard variant.
