Zane's Falcon


The Falcon is a character in Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. Although it initially appears to be a simple bird of prey, it quickly forms a bond with Zane, leading him and the other Ninja to new discoveries.

Later in the series, the Falcon is revealed to be a robot, created by Dr. Julian as a companion for Zane, who was a robot himself. From then on, it became a direct ally of the Ninja, serving as Zane's pet and a long-range scout.

Home

The Falcon first appeared outside the Monastary of Spinjitzu, perched on a tree near the dumpster out back. It copied Zane's movements when he came to take out the trash before flying off. Intrigued by the strange bird, Zane followed the Falcon, allowing the mysterious bird to lead him to Lloyd's Treehouse Fortress in the Wilderness.

When the Ninja arrived at the fortress the next morning, they questioned Zane on how he found Lloyd's new base. They were skeptical when Zane explained that he had followed a bird; Jay jokingly asked if it was "a cuckoo bird," but Zane missed the joke, noting that cuckoos were not native to the forest.

After the Monastary was burned down, Zane noticed the Falcon once again while his comrades berated him for leaving their home unguarded. Riding his dragon, Shard, he followed the bird to the Sea of Sand, where he discovered the Destiny's Bounty.

Never Trust A Snake

The Falcon appeared in Zane's dreams one night, where it spoke to him from its perch on a powerline. Near the end of the dream, it perched on the Green Ninja's arm, leading Zane to believe that he was destined to become the legendary warrior.

Tick Tock

While the Ninja were putting up signs in Jamanakai Village Zane spotted the Falcon and convinced his friends to help him follow it. The Falcon led them through different terrain, with each Ninja tiring out and telling the others to go on without them. By the time the bird reached Birchwood Forest, Zane and Kai were the only ones left, and the latter offered to wait for the others at the edge of the forest while he caught his breath. Zane continued to follow the Falcon until it dropped to the ground and began sparking, revealing its robotic nature. As a bewildered Zane picked up the mechanical bird, he noticed a strange symbol on its back.

After fending off the Giant Robot, Zane discovered the same symbol carved into a large birch tree. The symbol marked the doorway of the Hidden Workshop, where Zane found the Falcon's blueprints and used them to repair his robotic friend. As the Falcon flew into the depths of the workshop, Zane also discovered his own blueprints, realizing that he was also a robot. After he viewed his memories (including some of Dr. Julien creating the Falcon), Zane came to terms with his true nature, and the Falcon briefly perched on his arm as he regained his resolve.

All Of Nothing

While the Ninja were training for the Serpentine attack, Zane demonstrated his use of Falcon Vision as a counter to the special ability of the Venomari. The Falcon accompanied Zane and the others to the Serpentine's Underground Fortress, circling high above the battle. When Zane was sprayed with Venomari Venom, he engaged Falcon Vision to circumvent the hallucinatory effects, allowing him to battle the Serpentine normally.

Wrong Place, Wrong Time

The Falcon arrived at the Destiny's Bounty with footage of the Serpentine in the City of Ouroboros.

The Day Ninjago Stood Still

When strong earthquakes sent Ninjago City into a state of panic, Zane sent the Falcon into the city to scout for danger. During its patrol, the mechanical bird spotted a Stone Swordsman wandering around the city, heralding a full-scale invasion of the indestructible warriors. The Falcon retreated to the Destiny's Bounty as the Ninja and the citizens fled the overrun city.

The Last Voyage

Zane was worried about the Falcon as he had not heard from it in a while, though suddenly his Falcon Vision activated, and he rushed to the bridge and connected his vision to the screen in order to show the Ninja as well.

The Falcon had arrived at the Island of Darkness and was watching the Stone Warriors, however, one of the Stone Warriors sent a projectile at the Falcon, which abruptly ended the transmission.

Island Of Darkness

When the Ninja arrived at the edge of Lord Garmadon's camp to search for the Tenple of Light, Zane spotted his Falcon in one of the enclosures. Despite the risk to himself and their mission, he snuck into the camp and retrieved it. He was spotted after grabbing the Falcon, but he and the Ninja narrowly escaped with the mechanical bird in tow.

The Last Hope

Dr. Julien began repairing the Falcon after it was returned to him, continuing to work on it after the Ninja successfully enhanced their powers at the Temple of Light. The mechanical bird was functional once again by the time the Ninja and Misako attempted to steal the Helmet of Shadows from Lord Garmadon. It observed their progress and alerted Nya when their cover was blown, allowing her to drive the Earth Driller to the camp in time to evacuate her allies.

Return Of The Overlord

When the Ninja and their allies charged Lord Garmadon's camp, the Falcon flew ahead to scout the area. After the heroes realized that the camp was abandoned, the Falcon led them to a broken section of the wall, where massive tread marks and a path of destruction in the forest indicated that the Garmatron had left for the coast.

Rise Of The Spinjitzu Master

Following the Overlord's escape to Ninjago City, the Falcon led the Ninja to the Temple of Light, where they discovered the Golden Mech, It is unknown what happened to the Falcon afterwards, but it seems to have remained on the Island of Darkness while the Ninja set off to confront the Overlord.


Earth Dragon (Rocky)


The Earth Dragon (nicknamed Rocky by Cole) was the Dragon Guardian of the Scythe of Quakes and Cole's pet.

Sensei Wu placed the Earth Dragon as a guard of the Scythe of Quakes in the Caves of Despair. The Scythe was placed in the Dragon's mouth.


Many, many years later, the Earth Dragon was awoken when four ninja, Kai, Jay, Cole, and Zane, removed the Scythe from his mouth. He scared off Samukai's skeleton army, and proceeded to assault the Ninja in order to protect the weapon. Kai ended up using the Scythe to cause a cave in, bringing down rocks on the Dragon's head. This only served to slow the beast down, but the Ninja were still able to escape. Later, the Ninja used him as a mount for Cole in order to cross over to The Underworld to recapture the weapons.


The Earth dragon has a very rocky skin, so much so that he could camouflage himself as a pile of rocks with ease. He has large brown wings with holes in them, and a spiked tail.

In the set, 2509 Earth Dragon Defense, he is missing the wings, but instead has a green frill around his neck. He is one of two Dragons whose forelegs are separate from his wings, the other being the Lightning Dragon. He is the only Dragon with a different head design from all the others.

  • The Earth Dragon lacks wings in its LEGO set appearance despite it having wings in the TV show.
  • He has a different head shape than the other Dragons.
  • He was the first Dragon that was encountered.
  • He appeared in Lego Battles: Ninjago as a Goliath Battle Mode boss.
  • Cole is very close to Rocky, more than Jay, Kai and Zane are to Wisp, Flame and Shard.

Ice Dragon (Shard)


The Ice Dragon (nicknamed Shard by     Zane) is the guardian Dragon of the Shurikens of Ice and Zane's pet.

The Ice Dragon was placed in the Frozen Wasteland to guard the Shurikens of Ice by Sensei Wu.

When the Ninja arrived at the Frozen Wasteland, they discovered the Shurikens of Ice, guarded by the Ice Dragon. They took the Shurikens but Zane was frozen in the process. They slid out, running from the Dragon, and hit an ice colomn, where the ice surrounding Zane was broken. Later, when Nya and Kai escaped the Fire Temple, the Dragon, along with the other three, was brought and ridden by Zane into the Underworld.

The dragon appears again in Ninjago: Rise of the Snakes, nicknamed "Shard." He helps guard the Shurikens of Ice, which are now in the possession of Zane. Shard also helps put out the fire of the Monastery in Episode 2: Home.

Ice Dragons, like all dragons, live in both Ninjago and The Underworld. Their breath weapon is Ice. They live in cold climates. In its LEGO set, it is the smallest dragon. It only has 3 wing blades for each arm and no saddle.


  

Fire Dragon (Flame)



The Fire Dragon (named Flame by Kai) is the Dragon Guardian of the Sword of Fire and Kai's pet.

The Fire Dragon was placed in the Fire Temple by Sensei Wu to guard the Sword of Fire.

When Kai discovered the Fire Temple, and after Sensei Wu went into the Underworld, the Fire Dragon was discovered. When the other Ninja arrived, Nya and Kai had already brought the other three Dragons to the temple so that they could ride into the Underworld to rescue Sensei Wu.

This Dragon still appears in Ninjago: Rise of the Snakes, nicknamed Flame. He is still guarding the Sword of Fire, which Kai now has in his possession. Flame and the other three Dragons left the Ninja while molting to become the Ultra Dragon.

The Fire Dragon is used to living in hot climates. He can swim in lava and travel into the Underworld. His skin is red and orange and may possibly be hot.

  • The Fire Dragon was the first Dragon to be ridden during their search for the Golden Weapons.
  • The Fire Dragon, along with the other Dragons, perform a different type of Spinjitzu when they are about to enter the Underworld.
  • The Fire Dragon, like the Ice Dragon, would be more accurately classified as awyvern because it only possesses two hind legs, while the forelegs are part of the wing's body structure.
  • He appeared in Lego Battles: Ninjago, as a Story Mode boss.

Lightning Dragon (Wisp)


The Lightning Dragon (nicknamed Wisp by Jay) is the guardian Dragon of the Nuchucks of Lightning, and Jay's pet.

The Lightning Dragon was placed in the Floating Ruins by Sensei Wu to guard the Nunchucks of Lightning.

When the Ninja found the Nunchucks of Lightning on top of the Floating Ruins, the Lightning Dragon appeared. The Ninja escaped from there and the Lightning Dragon did not follow. When Kai and Nya escaped the Fire Temple, they brought the Lightning Dragon, along with the other Dragons, to the temple. Jay eventually rode the Dragon into the Underworld.

The Lightning Dragon has appeared in Ninjago: Rise of the Snakes. He helped guard the Nunchucks of Lightning, which were in the possession of Jay, until he had to travel to the Spirit Coves and became part of the Ultra Dragon.   According to Jay in episode 3, Snakebit, the Dragon's name is Wisp.

In its LEGO set, the Lightning Dragon looks similar to the Ice Dragon except that it has four legs, it is a darker blue, Jay sits on a saddle-like structure, and its tail is wider and can bend in different directions. The Lightning Dragon is the only dragon to have six limbs in the set.

  • The Lightning Dragon appears to travel close to the speed of light, as he appeared in a flash of lightning atop the Floating Ruins.
  • He is the biggest Dragon aside from the Ultra Dragon.
  • According to the Ninjago: The Official Guide, Jay created an amplifier to make it's roar louder as a gift before it agreed to help them find a way into the Underworld.

Sensei Wu


Sensei Wu is the youngest son of the First Spinjitzu Master. In Wu's childhood, he and Garmadon were the best of friends. One day in his youth, Wu lost his father's katana during a spar, and Garmadon climbed over the wall to retrieve it. While outside, the Great Devourer bit Garmadon's hand, corrupting him with it's venom. As a result of the growing evil within him, Garmadon became increasingly distant from his family, but he and Wu would remain civil with each other for some time. When Garmadon married Misako and fathered Lloyd, Wu was happy for his brother, but also somewhat melancholy, as he personally harbored some affection for Misako. 

After their father died, Wu and Garmadon vowed to protect the Golden Weapons. Garmadon, however, planned to steal the Golden Weapons, but when he tried, Wu confronted him and they fought. Wu won the battle and banished Garmadon to the Underworld.

Samurai X (Nya)

Samurai X has a gunmetal samurai helmet, with a bucket handle piece on top in the place of horns and a red face mask. She also has gunmetal samurai shoulder pads with with a red armor suit underneath. In the show, she wears a pair of goggles over her eyes and her bracelet on her right arm.

Likewise, an in-show indicator of being Samurai X was her bracelet. 

Ironically, Jay seemed to hate the Samurai the most, even though he actually has a crush on Nya. He later accepts the truth calmly after he and Nya reveal their feelings for one another and he discovers identity. At first, not much is known about the character until it is revealed in the episode "The Snake King" that it is Nya's alter-ego.


Lloyd, Ninja of Fire, Ice, Earth, and Lightning


Throughout his life, one constant of Lloyd's personality was his love for his father, Lord Garmadon. It was a desire to follow in his evil parent's footsteps that drove him to enroll in Darkley's - and later, to unleash the Serpentine upon Ninjago.

However, his attempts to become the next evil overlord of Ninjago were largely stymied by his inherently good personality - Lloyd's idea of "evil" was stealing candy, pulling pranks, and overseeing Ninjago from within a treehouse fortress, with his best attempt at an evil laugh being a rather melodramatic "Muhahahaha!" Lloyd's lack of true evil also showed in his demeanor around his Serpentine "minions"; he usually went along with whatever ideas they concocted, and was quick to call a retreat if the battle turned even slightly against his allies. 

After being betrayed by Pythor and taking up residence on the Destiny's Bounty, Lloyd's true nature began to emerge. Having been turned from the path of evil by Sensei Wu's guidance, he turned his thoughts to stopping the Serpentine threat (partially out of guilt for releasing the first three tribes in the first place). He retained a mischievous streak for a time, but quickly grew out of it after being forced to clean up the messes his pranks left. He also became eager to help the Ninja in any way he could, but his lack of combat talents and  inexperience with battling the Serpentine meant that he was relegated to the ship during their missions. This desire to help led to Lloyd's capture when he blew his cover at the City of Ouroboros.

The revelation that he was destined to become the Green Ninja further increased Lloyd's eagerness to help - to his chagrin, this only meant that the Ninja had even less incentive to take him on missions. He was also forced to confront the fact that he was now destined to fight his father, Lord Garmadon, for the fate of Ninjago, causing him to alternate between regret and hostility towards the four-armed villain. Despite this, Lloyd continued to love his father even if he had to fight his own father.

Lloyd underwent his most dramatic personality shift yet when he was aged to a teenager by the Tomorrow's Tea. He became much more serious and calm than before, dedicating himself to his training and becoming a true member of the Ninja team. However, his misgivings about confronting his father grew stronger, forcing Sensei Wu and Misako to constantly remind him that he had no other choice. Despite this, Lloyd was unable to overcome his love for his father, leading to him failing to destroy Lord Garmadon when the latter was vulnerable. It was only when the Overlord took complete control of Garmadon's body was Lloyd able to discard his misgivings and access his full power.

Initially, Lloyd was a young boy with a blonde "bowlcut" hairstyle. He wore black pants, a purple sash around his waist, and a black shirt with white markings on it. When his destiny as the Green Ninja was revealed, Lloyd wore the green gi of the Chosen One. 

After the Grundle incident exposed him to the aging effects of Tomorrow's Tea, Lloyd became a young teenager (around the same age as the other Ninja) with a deeper voice and a new hairstyle. He continued to wear his Green Ninja gi, with the addition of chest and shoulder armor similar to the other ZX Ninja.

Lloyd is also good at video games, beating all of Kai's high scores in "Fist to Face 2" and told Kai that Cole had beat all of his high scores instead of telling Kai it was really him.

In the show, Lloyd rarely uses any weapons; his younger self tended to stay behind the front lines while his allies (first the Serpentine, then the Ninja) did the fighting. After becoming a ninja, he briefly wielded a Nin-Jo against Pythor in "Rise of the Great Devourer", but generally remained out of direct combat. His older self continued to favor Spinjitzu, martial arts, and his elemental powers in battle, but he also briefly commanded the Golden Mech after its discovery in the Temple of Light. During his final battle with the Overlord, Lloyd also summoned the Golden Dragon to aid him in pursuing the villain in the skies.

Lloyd's dominant element is Lightning, explaining why he was shown using the Nunchucks of Lightning in Zane's dream. It also parallels Lord Garmadon, whose dominant element is Dark Lightning.

Lloyd's role as a hero is foreshadowed by the small green "5" on the black shirt he wears in his early appearances. The color of the "5" refers to his destiny as the Green Ninja, while the number itself refers to how he will be the fifth member of the Ninja team.
He has little knowledge on how to use the Destiny's Bounty, as shown in "All of Nothing" and "The Rise of the Great Devourer."
Lloyd's teenaged form has the same hair-piece as Lord Garmadon's "purified" form.



Lloyd is the most powerful ninja on the team.

Zane, Ninja of Ice

Zane is the most reserved and serious of the Ninja. He has little understanding of humor or even basic social conventions. He also has a very strong bond with Sensei Wu, being the most polite and respectful towards him. The other Ninja are occasionally wary of his strange habits, but they quickly learn to accept him for it regardless.

Initially, Zane was melancholy over his inability to remember his parentage or where he came from. He eventually accepted that the Ninja were his family and that their home was his home as well, but he never truly gave up on finding details of his past. Upon learning his origins, he was briefly struck in shock and depression, only to overcome his feelings and accept his robotic nature when he restored his memories. When he eventually reunited with his father/creator, Dr. Julien, he readily accepted him as his father.

Usually seen in white clothing, Zane has a light blond, tall flattop haircut. He has a control panel in his chest which he can open up. He also has a set of switches in his arm. 

Zane was the first to unlock his True Potential.
Jay calls him a Nindroid instead of a robot (Nindroid is a compound word combining Ninja and Droid together). 
Zane can also sense what others cannot.

Zane's affinity for Ice allows him to freeze objects to varying degrees and perform a chilly Spinjitzu attack. He generally prefers Shurikens in battle, especially the Shurikens of Ice. He has also wielded a katana, a spear, and a flail at times, and eventually gains an Elemental Blade that channels his Ice powers.

Zane also has a strong bond with his Falcon.

Nya, Sister of Fire


"Fire up the engines. I said fire up the engines!"
— Nya to Lloyd
Nya
Information
AffiliationSamurai
Favorite WeaponGolden Nick Daggers
ElementFire
StatusAlive
Voice ActorKelly Metzger
Nya is the younger sister of Kai, and Samurai is her alter-ego. At one point, Sensei Wu was considering training her to be a full-fledged ninja, although this changed when she assumed the role of Samurai X instead. Nya is currently dating Jay.

Appearance

Nya has short black hair fashioned in a bob cut, red lipstick, and small dimples on her cheeks. She typically wears clothing in various shades of red. In the show, she wears a large golden bracelet with a red jewel on her left arm. In the Spinjitzu Spinnersgame, she has a red bandanna tied around the lower half of her face.

Personality

Although she is not a ninja, she is very capable of defending herself. She doesn't like the fact that so much focus is put on the Ninja, so she resolved to become a hero in her own way, which she did by becoming Samurai X. Sometimes she gets annoyed by Kai's protectiveness, but their bond as siblings is strong. Many episodes reveal she is highly intelligent, as she was able to create the Samurai armor and technology, and she was able to pinpoint the location of Serpentine tombs. At first it seemed that Nya was unaware of Jay's crush on her, although by Once Bitten, Twice Shy it is revealed she returns his feelings.

Abilities And Weapons

Despite a lack of formal Ninja training, Nya is a competent fighter, wielding a Nin-Jo against the Skulkin when they attacked the blacksmith shop. She also develops a talent for engineering and operating machinery, building her Samurai X gear and the Samurai Mech in her spare time without any of the others noticing and modifying the Ultra Sonic Raider to give it a flight mode. Nya also helped Dr. Julien construct the Fire Mech and the Earth Driller. She is a skilled pilot, being the de facto operator of the Destiny's Bounty and the Samurai Mech.

After being corrupted by Dark Matter, Nya displays the ability to perform Spinjitzu, creating a crimson energy tornado that can knock the Ninja around. She wields a spiked flail and sharp throwing needles in combat, and the evil suffusing her being has made her completely ruthless and willing to destroy her former allies.

Trivia

  • Her favorite color is blue.
  • She is severely allergic to perfume.
  • It is revealed in "Double Trouble" that Nya has a part time job in the Auto Body Shop.




Kai, Ninja of Fire

Voice ActorVincent Tong

Kai is a major protagonist in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. He is the Red Ninja of Fire, and Nya is his younger sister. He and his teammates were chosen to protect the Green Ninja. He was the last Ninja to join the team, and the last to unlock his True Potential.

Kai's Early Life

Kai was born in Ignacia, the first son of a blacksmith who owned the Four Weapons shop. He and his younger sister Nya were raised in their father's craft. When his father died, Kai took it upon himself to keep the family business going, vowing to surpass his father's smithing skills.

Appearance

Typically preferring red attire, Kai has brown, spiky hair. He is often seen with a focused expression on his battle-scarred face, a slight notch visible on his left eyebrow.

Personality

Fittingly for his elemental affinity, Kai is very hotheaded, prone to taking action before he thinks things through. He is capable of making careful observations when the need arises, but his emotions often override his caution. His single-mindedness made interaction with his teammates difficult at first (especially due to his worry about Nya), but he eventually learned to work with the other Ninja. He can be arrogant at times, insisting that he is better than his peers and growing depressed when he seems to be lagging behind their training.

Kai also has something of a stubborn side, believing that he is in the right until overwhelming evidence to the contrary is presented. This is especially pronounced during Lord Garmadon's stay on the Destiny's Bounty; Kai repeatedly accused the four-armed villain of treachery or plotting despite Garmadon's insistence that saving Lloyd was his primary concern at the time. On the other hand, Kai's stubborn streak lends him incredible determination that allows him to bolster the team's spirit in the face of impossible odds.

The most prevalent facet of Kai's personality is his dedication to people he cares about - if someone can earn his friendship, he will stop at nothing to protect them. Much of his stubbornness and recklessness are due to his desire to help his loved ones, either directly or by becoming strong enough to defeat anyone who might threaten them with their plans. In turn, his friends and family work to balance out Kai's more extreme traits, causing him to become a levelheaded mentor for Lloyd by the time he and his comrades begin training the Green Ninja.

Weapons

Kai favors swords in combat, taking up a curved silver blade against the Skulkin when they attacked his shop. He used the Sword of Fire as his primary weapon until it was lost, and then switched to wielding regular katanas. He eventually gained an Elemental Blade that allowed him to harness his fire abilities to an even greater degree.


Trivia

  • Kai is the last Ninja to join the team, the last to claim his Golden Weapon, and the last to unlock his True Potential. On the other hand, he was the first Ninja introduced in the series and the first to befriend his respective dragon.
  • He appears to have a fear of Christmas-related themes, as shown in "Can of Worms," when the Venomari's venom causes him to see things like gingerbread men.
  • Of all the ninja, he seems to care about Lloyd the most.
  • For the first two months of his life his parents called him Ash.
  • Kai once by accident forged a weapon called a 'Swingana' … Part yo-yo part sword. It was not a big success.
  • When Kai uses his elemental power in a vehicle, it gets powered up and engulfed in flames … which is why flying a hang glider is a bad idea.
  • Once Kai singed off his eyebrows with the sword of fire. But no one noticed because he painted the back on with a black marker.
  • When Kai's sister Nya was a baby, he used to juggle hammers to entertain her. When he dropped one on his foot she laughed the hardest.








Cole, Ninja of Earth


"Way to go, hero."
— Cole to Kai
Cole

AffiliationNinja

First AppearanceWay of the Ninja
2263 Turbo Shredder
StatusAlive
Voice ActorKirby Morrow

Cole is a major protagonist in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. He is the black Ninja of Earth and the leader of the Ninja. He was chosen to protect the Green Ninja along with the other three Ninja.

Early Life

As a child, Cole's father sent him to the Marty Oppenheimer School of Performing Arts, hoping that he would follow in his footsteps and become a dancer. Unwilling to do so but reluctant to displease his father, Cole secretly ran away from the school, occasionally writing to his father to claim that he was still following the dancer's path. He began drifting from place to place, always seeking new challenges to test his strength and skill.

Cole first met Sensei Wu while climbing the highest mountain in Ninjago. Learning that he had great potential, he followed the old master to the Monastery of Spinjitzu and began training to become a ninja.

Appearance

Cole has a muscular body with the basic yellow flesh of a LEGO character. He has shaggy black hair and bushy eyebrows. He generally prefers black clothing.

For more images on Cole's appearance in his different ninja suits, click here.

Personality

Cole is the calm and intelligent leader of the five Ninja. In the beginning, Cole lacked direction and purpose, being unable to put his skill to good use. Becoming a Ninja seemed to be the Earth Ninja's calling, since he was more than happy to accept Sensei Wu's offer. Cole thoroughly enjoys helping others in need and feels accomplished with a job well done. Though his passion for success in missions causes him to carefully plan out tactics late in the night, often resulting in lack of sleep.

At first Cole insisted he was without fear, though Zane quickly saw through his facade and pointed out his fear of dragons. It was showed shortly after, when the Ninja had to recruit their elemental dragons - Cole wanted no part in the event and awkwardly stood on top of the Earth Dragon instead of properly mounting it. Despite this, he indeed grew to accept the Earth Dragon, even learning to care for it more than the other Ninja cared for their dragons.

He and Zane are the most serious and focused of the five Ninja, but that does not stop him from occasionally allowing his one-track mind to get the best of him. Once he really sets his mind to something, he will remain interested in it until it is fulfilled (for instance, when he was itching for a fight in "Island of Darkness").

Cole is one to put himself at risk before his friends, and prefers to hold a strong front to ensure he can stay reliable and keep his team in order. However, he has shown sympathy toward Zane and Lloyd when they were both melancholic. When trying to comfort his allies, he seems to have trouble finding the correct words to do so, only able to accomplish the task with the example of his teammates.

Weapons And Abilities

Cole commands the element ofEarth, giving him great physical strength and durability. He can stand his ground to a supernatural degree - enemies frequently act as though they have hit a person-shaped brick wall when they bump into him. At full power, he can manipulate the earth below his feet, causing earthquakes, creating fissures, throwing rocks and dust at enemies, or even burying things in rapidly-rising mounds of dirt. Like his fellow Ninja, he can also perform Spinjitzu.

After coming to terms with his dancing heritage, Cole gains a surprising amount of grace and flexibility, allowing him to wriggle out of tight spaces when he relaxes himself. His new agility also enables him to perform the Triple Tiger Sashay, which is effective against multiple opponents or for getting himself out of trouble.

In battle, Cole favors scythes, especially the Scythe of Quakes. He later wields an Elemental Blade with the power of Earth, allowing him to use his elemental powers to great effect once more.

Trivia

  • Cole used to be afraid of Dragons, until he met Rocky. He seems to care for Rocky more than the others care for their own Dragons.
  • His hobbies include rock climbing, drawing, and cooking.
  • He is extremely determined in culinary arts, but according to the other Ninja, he is a terrible chef. However, his Snogfruit Punch (made in "All of Nothing") was apparently fairly decent, as the Ninja were all seen drinking some at the end of the episode.
  • Cole's name is a pun on coal, a black fossil fuel found deep underground (i.e. in the Earth).
  • Cole was the third Ninja to unlock his True Potential.
  • Cole was a student at the Marty Oppenheimer School of Performing Arts as a dancer … for two days.
  • Cole likes all kinds of climbing: Rock climbing, cave climbing, tree climbing and dragon climbing … whatever that is!
  • Cole's favorite color is actually orange … but don't tell anyone.
  • When Cole was a child his friends jokingly called him Cole Bucket.
  • Kai jokes that Cole is the only ninja he’s ever heard of who brings a book to battles, so he won’t get bored.
