Li'l Nelson Reference Sheet: Micro Griffin

Will update as I come up with stuff

(Seriously look this up they're adorable)

Notes:

Li'l Nelson admires the ninja to no end

Lloyd is his favorite

All the ninja have a soft spot for him

They invite him and his mother to dinner sometimes, and they always have a blast

He is awed by any display of any sort of elemental power by any of the ninja.

He is THE monster at school to go to about the ninja. He knows everything, from their hardest battle to their favorite colors.

He wants to be a ninja when he grows up

He sends every single ninja homemade cards for every birthday and holiday. The ninja have a corkboard for all of his notes.

In return, at least one of the Ninja always shows up to his birthday parties, and they all get him gifts.

He is basically the adoptive son of the group, right there next to Lloyd.

Okay, so I didn't get nearly as much writing done today as I hoped I would, and I don't think the chapter will be ready in time for tomorrow.

As a result, I think I am going to go on a short hiatus, just to write some more chapters and get ahead. I really don't want to do this, but I also don't want writing this to feel like a chore either.

I'm really sorry, but it's what I've decided.

Reblog for Mr. E

Echo Zane Reference Sheet:

Will be updated as I come up with stuff

Echo:

Mr. E:

Notes:

Years of isolation, rust, and disuse has left his wings broken and flightless.

He leaves trails of feathers wherever he goes.

He has vague memories of visitors sometimes, but these visions are fleeting and far apart.

Harumi found him in the lighthouse, and pretty much adopted him

He took on the name "Mr. E" (reference sheet soon) after she rescued and fixed him up

He learned to hide his optimism and childish habits behind his visor, and really only allows them out when he's with harumi

Harumi rebuilt him after Garmadon destroyed him

Once Harumi died, Echo disappeared, and hasn't been seen since.

Reblog for zombie cole

Cole Reference Sheet: Manticore

Will be updated as I come up with stuff.

Cole, Master of Earth: Manticore

^Cole after DoTD. Before this, he looked like a zombie version of himself.

Notes:

His tail is venomous, though it's not a very strong poison and can do little more than cause a stomach ache.

He can breath fire like other manticores, but it makes him cough and retch. He doesn't like to do it, and his flames aren't very strong anyways.

Softest of the bunch. Very huggable as long as you stay away from the tail.

His wings are too small to bear his weight, so he doesn't use them much.

Admires Kai and Lloyd's ability to fly, and helps console Zane when he loses his wings.

Out of all the ninja, he deals with his trauma in the most healthy way. Wu has helped him tremendously in putting the past behind him, and focusing on the future. He tries to get the others to do the same, but it's no use.

Zombie Cole (before DoTD):

[ninjago-monster-au]

Preeminent Reference Sheet: Beholder

Will be updated as I come up with stuff

Notes:

Ghosts, zombies, phantoms, and other undead come out of every eye

Cursed realm taken form

Only weakness is water

Reblog for changes

Elemental Animals:

Since the dragons only exist in the first realm, we have to do something to replace the elemental dragons that the ninja can summon. The solution: spirit animals. And I’ve named them because I can.

North the Stag

Notes:

Basically just just a silhouette

Zane’s elemental animal

Completely made of ice

Can’t fly, but is very fast, and can jump very far.

The butt of many Santa’s reindeer jokes

Doesn’t like Santa’s reindeer jokes.

She will not hesitate to kick you if you make them.

Large enough for Zane to ride without his feet touching the ground.

Can shoot ice beams from horns

Freezes the ground where it steps

Always snowing around it

Boreal the Wolverine

Notes:

Ice emperor’s elemental animal

Very, very big. (Tree for scale)

She can shoot ice beams from mouth

Freezes the ground where it steps.

Made of ice, metal, and lots of frost

Does the Ice emperor’s bidding

Can’t fly, but can run very fast. It can scale mountains in minutes with how big it is.

Uses claws as weapons and climbing tools.

Dry Ice Behemoth (only here because I couldn’t figure out where else to put him):

Notes:

Made completely of dry ice

Hurts to touch, like being burned.

Freezes things on contact

Ice laser from eye

Always surrounded in slightly toxic mist.

Inhaling mist will make you dizzy

Magma (Maggie) the elephant:

Notes:

Cole’s elemental animal

Biggest of the bunch (a little bigger than Boreal)

Completely made of hardened magma

Earth plates move together when Cole rides him, and move apart the longer he doesn’t.

Kai is bitterly jealous of Cole because of her, he thinks that she should be his animal instead because she’s lava.

She does not like Kai much.

A bit on the slower side.

Leaves lava pools where she steps, that harden into rock soon after she leaves.

Blaze the Wolf

Notes:

Kai’s elemental animal

Very fast

2nd smallest

He’s very loud, and often tries to pick fights with North and Maggie. Both of them are much bigger than he is.

Breathes fire

Anything he touches ignites.

Bay the Panther

Notes:

Nya’s elemental animal

Completely made of water

Can melt into a puddle

He’s rather shy, and really only comes out of his puddle (besides in battle) for Nya, Blaze, Static, and Maggie.

Can solidify his claws and teeth, and other parts of his body if he wants to cuddle.

Basically just a big housecat

Static the Mockingbird

Notes:

Jay’s elemental animal

Blips in and out of existence constantly

He can and will make your hair stand on end.

Smallest of the bunch

Very glitchy, will accidentally short-circuit any machines nearby (including nindroids)

Tail lightning is uncontrollable

Very lighthearted and lovey, loves scritches, but doesn’t get them often.

LOVES Jay. Especially since he’s the only one who can pet him without being shocked.

Friends with Bay, and not afraid to shock him out of his puddle if he’s being difficult.

Veve (vee-vee) the Ferret

Notes:

Lloyd’s elemental animal

Third biggest, just a little smaller than Boreal.

She’s very playful and mischievous

Often steals things from the ninja (wheels to cars, sails of the Bounty, ect.)

Likes shiny things

Very friendly

Can shoot energy beams from mouth in battle

Can fly, kind of like those wingless asian dragon things.

Very, very, very fluffy.

Loves hugs

Theo the Swan

Notes: 

Wu’s elemental animal

Named by Jay

He’s not summoned nearly enough to develop a personality

He gets the job done, then he is unsummoned. That’s it. 

He didn’t even have a name before Jay met him

He likes his name. 

A little smaller than Veve
