Serpentine
The Serpentine are a race of snakes that inhabit the world of Ninjago. They consist of five tribes. Each tribe is further divided into four classes; generals, warriors, soldiers, and scouts. An additional rank, Snake King, rules over all five tribes.

- “Had you released the Constrictai, the Venomari, or heaven forbid the Anacondrai, then we would have had a tussle.”
- ―Skales to Lloyd Garmadon
The Anacondrai is the most feared of all the tribes. As the Anacondrai were locked away with a lack of food, they starved to death until only the general was left, Pythor P. Chumsworth.
The deceased Anacondrai supposedly share the same characteristics as Pythor as other tribes do with their generals. If such is true, the Anacondrai would have likely been purple, and capable of turning invisible.
Constrictai

The Constrictai are led by Skalidor. They are strong and large. Constrictai are capable of traveling under the ground, but can be seen by looking through a small trench that shows where they are. They resemble boa constrictors. They are orange and black in color. With the exception of Skalidor who has a snake tail, all Constrictai members have short legs.
Fangpyre

The Fangpyre, led by Fangtom, are red and white and have large fangs. Their fangs can turn inanimate objects into living snake-like creatures. Vehicles will turn into living snake-cars, mechs, or wrecking balls. Each vehicle takes on snake attributes such as a tail and eyes. They are also able to bite living creatures and turn them into snake people.
Hypnobrai

The Hypnobrai has been known to have two generals. Their original general, Slithraa, was challenged by his second-in-command, Skales, which resulted in the latter replacing the former as the new general with Slithraa being demoted to warrior.
The Hypnobrai have a dark blue, yellow, and grey color scheme and resemble cobras. Their eyes in fact are red with spirals giving them a "dazzling" look to them and represent their hypnotism abilities.The hypnobrai are a snake tribe with the power to hypnotize and control anyone. Their members are, from highest to lowest: Skales, the former warrior, now general. Slithraa, the former general, now warrior. Mezmo, the tribe soldier, judge of the slither pit. Rattla, tribe scout. The tribe has three colors. The main color, or the "Royal color" is blue. Looking at the figures, the more blue, the higher the rank. Grey is the second color, or the color of lower rank. The accent color is Yellow.
Venomari

The Venomari live in toxic bogs of acid that only they can survive in. They are green in color and have the ability to spray venom at an enemy. This venom sabatoges the victim's vision and makes them hallucinate, such as with Kai's case and the "gingerbread men and evil elves."They resemble spitting cobras. They have four eyes, unless they lose one, such as with Lasha's case.
Social Classes
Snake King
With the help of Skales, Pythor successfully united the five Serpentine tribes by challenging the other generals for their staffs. After defeating them, he dubbed himself the Snake King.
Generals
The generals are the leader of their respective tribes. Generals are easily distinguished from other Serpentine in that rather than legs, they have a tail. Like warriors and soldiers, they also have a less humanoid shaped head than scouts. In addition to the tails, the generals are also normally in possession of their tribe's respective Snake Staff which is able to act as anti-venom to a tribe's power. For example, the Fangpyre staff would be able to return a person who has been bitten by a Fangpyre and is turning into a snake person to their normal state.
Generals are able to be debunked by being defeated by a Serpentine of a lower class, as seen when the Hypnobrai warrior, Skales, defeated the Hypnobrai general, Slithraa. Skales grew a tail while Slithraa lost his. This is likely the same for other tribes.
The Serpentine Generals are as follows;
- Hypnobrai
- Fangpyre
- Venomari
- Constrictai
- Anacondrai
Warriors
The warriors are the second-in-command of their tribe. They have the same shaped head as their tribe's generals, but normally have different markings (except for in Fangtom and Fangdam's heads, which are same in shape and markings). Rather than having tails like the generals, warriors have humanoid legs.
As Pythor is the sole living Anacondrai member, there are no known warriors from his tribe.
Warriors are as follows;
Soldiers
Below warriors, are soldiers. Soldiers have humanoid legs like warriors and snake-like heads, but unlike the warriors, they are of a different shape than their respective general's.
Soldiers are as follows;
Scouts
Scouts are at the bottom of the Serpentine social ladder. They have humanoid legs like warriors and soldiers, but also humanoid heads with a snake-like hood.
Scouts are as follows;
Background
The Serpentine once ruled Ninjago with The Great Devourer. Had it not been for the people of Ninjago and their sacred flutes which controlled the Serpentine, the Devourer would have consumed the land. The Great Devourer was banished to the lost city of Ouroboros and the five serpentine tribes into five tombs.
Years later, Lloyd Garmadon, son of Lord Garmadon, discovered and freed the Hypnobrai to get revenge on his uncle and his uncle's students. Freeing the Hypnobrai led to the release of the four other tribes; Constrictai, Venomari, Fangpyre, and Anacondrai.
Pythor P. Chumsworth, the last living Anacondrai, declares himself destined to reawaken the Great Devourer.[1] To do so, he defeated the four generals of the other tribes in combat and took their Snake Staffs, declaring himself the snake king. All Pythor needs to do at this moment is to find the four fang-blades of the Hypnobrai, Fanypyre, Venomari, and Constrictai tribes.
