Dragons

“Our father used to tell us stories about the dragons, that they were mystical creatures that belong to both worlds and ferried between them.”

Dragons are the first species of creation, mystical creatures that originated from the Realm of Oni and Dragons, the first realm in existence. They were at war with the Oni.

The legendary beings are in tune with elemental properties, due to many being Masters of the four Elements of Creation. They are also naturally capable of interdimensional travel to a degree, enabling them to traverse between realms such as both Ninjago and the Underworld.

Master Wu once tasked four dragons (Fire, Lightning, Ice and Earth) linked to each of the four Elements to guard the four Golden Weapons, and they were generally not vicious unless the Weapons are threatened.

History[]

Background[]

The dragons seen in Ninjago were descended from the ones from the Realm of Oni and Dragons. The Firstbourne had all of the Elemental Powers of her spawn, and her offspring constantly waged war against their arch enemies, the Oni (who were beings of Destruction, the polar opposite of Creation). When a child was born, the two sides fought over him until he left the realm. The child also struck a friendship with the Firstbourne when he tried to stop the war.

Later, that same child, who would be later known as the First Spinjitzu Master, would grow up to empower a group of humans with the powers he gained from the dragons, the Elemental Masters. Together, the Elemental Masters and the First Spinjitzu Master would go on to protect Ninjago from the forces of evil that encroached on it.

Pilot episodes[]

Master Wu placed each dragon to guard one of the Golden Weapons, each in tune with its elemental properties. The dragons guarded the Weapons for many years until an increase in Skulkin activity led Master Wu to believe that the weapons had to be retrieved before they could fall into Lord Garmadon's hands.

The four ninja had to avoid each of the dragons as they recovered the four Golden Weapons. When the Weapons were stolen by Garmadon, they discovered that the dragons would gladly aid the ninja in their quest to get the weapons back. Afterward, each ninja kept the dragon matching their elemental properties as a pet, in addition to using them for transportation. This allowed the dragons to continue guarding the Weapons, as the four ninja wielded them in defense of Ninjago.

Rise of the Snakes[]

As Jay decided to visit his parents, all four dragons were molting and had to leave the ninja. The ninja had to go on the journey to Ed & Edna's Scrap N Junk on foot. During their time in the Spirit Coves, the dragons morphed into the Ultra Dragon, who appeared during the fight against the Great Devourer and nearly defeated the serpent.

Legacy of the Green Ninja[]

The Ultra Dragon became as Lloyd's personal transportation until he mastered the Golden Dragon.

When the Overlord possessed Garmadon's body to regain his true form, he appeared as a humanoid dragon. As he power continued to increase as the Final Battle was about to begin, he mutated into a full dragon. At this time, the ninja were taken to Ninjago City by the Ultra Dragon to defeat him.

Hunted[]

Firstbourne gave the stranded ninja dragons that correspond to their Elemental Powers. They rode them to get out of the Realm of Oni and Dragons and into Ninjago. Upon returning, the dragons save the ninja's allies from the Sons of Garmadon and fought against the Colossus.

Dragons Rising, Season 1[]

After the Merge united the realms, a number of dragons made the decision to relocate to the realm that had merged with their native one.[1][2] However, some of the dragon population opted to remain in their original realm.[3] Given the Kingdom of Imperium's dependence on dragon energy, the Claws of Imperium initiated the capture of dragons from the other realms to extract their energy for power generation.[4]

Lloyd and Wyldfyre initiated a plan to liberate all the dragons that were held captive by Imperium, starting with the release of Heatwave from his cell.[5] However, their efforts were impeded by the Claws of Imperium and their Photacs, who subjected the dragons to a vicious attack.[6] In order to protect themselves, the dragons sought refuge in the Monastery of Imperium. Following their escape to Ninjago, most of dragons choose to remain with the ninja, relocating to the Monastery of Spinjitzu alongside them.[7]

Abilities[]

  • Dimensional Portal creation - Many dragons demonstrate, that they can create portals to travel between Realms and from one place to another or to direct their attacks.
    • Dimensional Travel - Using said portals, the dragons can travel to different realms.
  • Flight - All dragons are capable of flight using their wings (presumably except Jungle Dragons).
  • Longevity - All dragons are extremely long-lived, similar to Oni.

Behind the scenes[]

  • Michael Knap has explained that most LEGO dragons these days are from Ninjago because it helps to make dragons a more distinct part of the theme.[9]
  • When asked whether there are dragons of all elements, Tommy Andreasen stated that if they were given the right scope and budget, they would probably do that. But however, they decided the narrow it down to dragons only using the four elements of Creation and Wind.[10]

Trivia[]

  • All mortal dragons are native to the Realm of Oni and Dragons and are descended from the Firstbourne. They later spread to live in other realms.[11] However, some of them do not have Elemental Powers and have unique abilities of their own.
  • All Dragon tribes such as the Mountain Dragons tribe or the Fire Dragons tribe have an Arc Dragon as their leader.[12]
  • Dragons do not have the power of Creation itself but do through there being types of dragons that correspond to the four elements of Creation.[13]
  • The only elements they possess are the four elements of Creation and Wind.[14] It is unknown what the origins of the other elements are, or why the only other element they control is Wind.
    • According to Tommy Andreasen, all dragons before adolescence might have temporarily use the Wind element before they get one of the four elements of Creation excluding the other secondary elements.[15]
  • Certain dragons possess the ability to communicate verbally, while others can communicate telepathically with different beings. It remains uncertain whether this ability is determined by their race, type, rank, or another factor.
  • While dragons are capable of migrating through realms, it is unlikely that they can travel to all realms.[16]
    • Djinjagan Dragons can travel to other realms,[17] similar to how dragons from the Realm of Oni and Dragons can to Ninjago and the Underworld.
  • Although it was not shown in the show until Sons of Garmadon that the dragons came from another realm, Cole suggests this already in the pilot episodes with his line: "Dragons aren't from this world, Zane."
  • Several dragon skulls resembling those of the original four dragons, Ultra Dragon, and Golden Dragon are seen in Oni land, but no dragons with these head shapes are seen alive in Hunted or any subsequent episodes.
  • It is possible that the First Spinjitzu Master based Spinjitzu on the spinning movement used by dragons to travel between realms.[18]
  • Water Dragons appear in the magazine Ninja's Dragon Battle!, but it is unknown if this is canon.
  • All the seasons in the series have either a dragon, an Elemental Dragon, or a Dragon Mech appear.
  • If Nya had a dragon as the original four ninja did, it may have been named "Flow."[19]
  • According to Chris "Doc" Wyatt, dragons experience growth spurts.[20]
