- “You will be loyal to me now!”
- ―Skales to Slithraa
Skales is the current general of the Hypnobrai snake tribe, formerly second in command to Slithraa.
Background
Skales started out in the new Ninjago movie, Rise of the Snakes, as the second in command of the Hypnobrai when Lloyd Garmadon first came to the tribe. From the start, Skales was unhappy with the childish acts that they had to perform for Lloyd, the first being raiding an entire village for candy. When the ninjas ambushed them at Jamonicai village, Skales hypnotized Cole. But Nya kicked him before he could fully entrance the ninja. At the end, he argues with Slithraa about Lloyd's position in the tribe, but the general refuses to listen. When a snake tries to call him a coward, he reveals that he can now see whatever Cole sees whenever Cole blinks his eyes. In the premiere of Home, he is seen working on the treehouse for Lloyd. He reveals to Rattla that he can see Cole feeding his dragon. Rattla is astounded, and is sworn to secrecy about Skales' new ability, mostly from the general. Skales tells him he will use his abillity on the ninjas for "his best interests". Later, when the ninjas attack the structure, Skales uses his control over Cole and pitches him against the ninjas to distract them. He than pulls a trap door, letting Lloyd fall into a cage. Later, he is seen walking back to the tomb with the snake staff. When Slithraa challenges him, he tells him "I guess we'll have to fight for it, in the Slither Pit!". He then fights the general in the pit, where the coach of the match gives them two weapons. Skales presses a dagger at the general's shield, and then begins to move his whole body in an entrancing way. The general is dazed, and Skales defeats him. When he grabs the staff, the head glows, and Skales grows a tail and becomes the new general. Slithraa loses his tail and he becomes second in command. Skales banishes Lloyd and tells him to never return.
LEGO.com Bio:
Warrior and second in command of the Hypnobrai tribe. Skales masters the ancient art of Fang-kwon-do. When he sees Slithraa fall under Lloyd’s control, Skales sees an opportunity to fulfill his own ambitions for control. Raiding villages for candy is beneath him, not to mention a complete waste of his Hypbnobrai powers. Skales sets his own cunning plans in motion. He schemes to strike at the Ninja from within and patiently waits for events to unfold in his favor.
