- ―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 attacked the Hypnobrai at Jamonicai village, Skales hypnotized Cole. He could then see what ever Cole was seeing. But Nya stomped on his tail before he could fully hypnotize Cole. Affter the attack he argues with Slithraa about Lloyd's control over the Tribe, but the general refuses to listen. When Rattla call's him a coward, he reveals to him that he can now see whatever Cole sees whenever Cole blinks his eyes. In the show Lloyd has told Slithraa to make him a treehouse for him. Skales then talks to Rattla in secret. He tell's him that he can see Cole feeding his dragon. Rattla is astounded. He swears to not tell anybody, especially Slithraa. Skales tells him he will use his control over Cole for "his best interests". Later, the ninjas attack the treehouse. Skales uses his cotrol over Cole to make him turn against the other ninjas to distract them. He than sneaks up on Lloyd and a leaver that pulls a trap door, causing Lloyd fall into a cage. Later, the Tribe is shown walking back to the tomb with the snake staff. When Slithraa wants the staff back. He tells him "I guess we'll have to fight for it, in the Slither Pit!". Skales and Slithraa then fight in the Sither Pit where Rattla gives them two weapons. Skales choses two swords. Slithraa takes a sheild and a sword.They then engage in battle. Skales knocks the general's sword away, and then begins to move his whole body in an entrancing way. While the general is dazed, Skales defeats him. When he grabs the staff, his legs glow, and Skales legs are replaced by a tail and becomes the new general. Slithraa's tail glows too and is replaced by legs. He is bumped down to second in command. Skales banishes Lloyd from the tribe and tells him to never return.
