Biography
This is a description taken from LEGO.com. Please do not modify it.
Garmadon
Spinjitzu Destroyer
Weapon of choice: Deceit
Elemental color: All (unbalanced)
Strength: Power of Destruction
Lord Garmadon is not a skeleton, but he is dead. Still, that hasn't stopped him…in fact, it made him stronger. Now the King of the Underworld and his Skeleton Army are helping him destroy Ninjago.
Of course, Sensei Wu and his ninjas are trying to stop him, but thats what Garmadon wants. He waits in the shadows and laughs.
Background
A number of years ago, Garmadon lived at the Monastery with his brother, Sensei Wu, as they were the sons of the first Spinjitzu Master and were left in charge of protecting the Golden Weapons. According to Wu, Garmadon turned to evil and rapidly changed from his loving brother to his enemy, who even threatened to destroy him and anything in the way of his path to greatness. A battle ensued between the brothers, and Garmadon was banished to the boundless realm of the Underworld, ruled by Samukai. However, he vowed to return to Ninjago and seize the weapons and gain ultimate power, and used Spinjitzu to defeat Samukai and assume rule over the Skulkin army. Decades later, Garmadon finally set his schemes in motion and sent Samukai and his army to Ninjago to wreak havoc and search for the weapons. Sensei Wu, after acknowledging the presence of danger in Ninjago, searches for four brave ninja to defeat all evil in Ninjago and fulfill the Prophecy of Ninjago, setting the stage for the launch of the TV series, Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. In the third episode, Garmadon finally makes his appearnce, in the form of a shadowy being, who threatens to kill Nya, the sister of Kai, if he does not retrieve the final Golden Weapon. Fortunately, Wu arrives and sacrafices himself for the sake of Ninjago by apprehending his brother's plans and travelling with the Sword of Fire to the Underworld. Garmadon summons Samukai to bring the weapons back to the Underworld, where he and Wu battle for the weapons. The Ninja soon arrive and perform the Tornado of Creation, defeating the Skulkin and allowing passage to Sensei in Garmadon's throne room. When they arrive, however, Samukai turns against Garmadon, tired of being his puppet, and posseses the weapons and demands him to obey him now. But Garmadon simply laughs and states his plan has worked, right before Samukai is destroyed by a Vortex having not been able to handle all the Weapon's power. Garmadon then travels through the portal, again vowing his return after growing powerful enough to possess the weapons.
Sometime later, Nya hears rumour Garmadon has returned to Ninjago, but instead the information appears false and Garmadon is mistaken for his son, Lloyd Garmadon. He later appeared in Zane's dream, being defeated by the Green Ninja and falling into the abyss. So far, Garmadon has not been seen in the series, but according to sets, he will return for the weapons with four arms, similar to Samukai, as well as his bio on CartoonNetwork.com, claiming he has a mysterious connection with the Serpentine...
Notes
- In Ninjago: The Movie, he has the power to transform himself into a shadow to make himself harder to defeat.[1]
- In the Spring 2011 catalogue, under the minifigures for 2505 Garmadon's Dark Fortress, Lord Garmadon was mistakenly labelled "Samukai", Samukai is labeled "Kai", Kai "Chopov", and Chopov "Garmadon".
- In the 2012 wave of Ninjago Garmadon has 4 arms, like Samukai.
- In sets he appears with a light gray staff with blue and purple lightning, but in many pictures he has a golden staff with green and purple lightning.
- Apparently, he was killed at the dojo seconds before he could destroy his brother when he was shocked by a bolt of lightning, causing him to fall to the Underworld.
- His samurai helmet originally belonged to Samukai. It appears to be the symbol of the leader of the Underworld.
- He has the same hair as Dr. Inferno except it's all black.
- In LEGO Battles: Ninjago, he can only be unlocked for battle mode after completing 100% of the game.
- In the trailer for the second season of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu (Rise of the Snakes), the Green Ninja can be seen fighting him, but he does not have four arms like in 9446 Destiny's Bounty.
- According to his bio on the Cartoon Network website, he has a "mysterious connection" with the Serpentine.
- In episode six of Ninjago: Rise of the Snakes he is the the snake king with four arms.
