Chumsworth is a Ninjago minifigure and the main antagonist of the show ' s first season as well as the secondary antagonist of the show ' s 3rd season , and a supporting protagonist in the 4th season . He is the last surviving member of the Anacondrai Serpentine tribe in the theme . Although presumed to be killed in the Season 1 finale , Pythor returns as the secondary antagonist in Season 3 , but becomes a hero in Season 4 . Pythor later returns in the Ninjago special " Day of the Departed " and appears as a Minifigure in the 2016 set 70596 Samurai X Cave Chaos . Description . Like the other Serpentine generals , Pythor has a snake tail instead of normal minifigure legs . He is coloured in purple and has a black stripe going up the front with yellow triangles coming off of the sides and pointing to the lower - left or the lower - right , depending on which side they sprout from . There is a curved slash on either side of the front of his tail , near the edge of the side and where it starts to curve . Pythor ' s torso continues the same pattern , but there is a light blue orb in the center of his chest , the symbol of the Anacondrai . Pythor has a long purple neck that curves backwards and his head rests right above the start . His mouth is open , and he has two white fangs on his lower jaw . Pythor has two red eyes . Going up his neck is the same black stripe / yellow triangle pattern which ends with another light blue orb on his forehead . Pythor ' s parts are all purple with printing , except for the arms and hands which are black in the set and TV Show . In The Curse of the Golden Master , he is the same pattern wise , but his purple parts became white and his black parts became purple due to being bleached after being in the Great Devourer for so long . This variation was released in the set 70750 Mobile Ninja Base . Background . The Serpentine at one time ruled Ninjago with The Great Devourer until they were driven into five tombs , one for each tribe , and the Great Devourer under the lost city of Ouroboros by the people of Ninjago with their sacred flutes which controlled the Serpentine . The generals of the anacondrai tribe were sent into another dimension by the elemental masters , and the soldiers were imprisoned in the tomb . Pythor was in the tomb with the rest of the soldiers . Due to the lack of food in the Anacondrai tomb , the members became cannibalistic until only Pythor remained . In his LEGO . com bio , it said he ate his entire tribe . Released from the Tomb . Lloyd Garmadon , son of Lord Garmadon , discovered a map that led to the Serpentine tribe tombs and began to free each tribe , hoping to get them to do his bidding . When the Hypnobrai and Fangpyre betrayed him , they mentioned that the Anacondrai was the most dangerous tribe . When he unlocked the Anacondrai tomb , Pythor was freed and began talking with Lloyd . Pythor realized that Lloyd had the map that revealed the locations of the other four Serpentine tombs , and began to come up with a plan to unleash all of the Serpentine and The Great Devourer . Lloyd Garmadon thought that he could control Pythor , but Pythor was really using him . They traveled around and caused destruction throughout Ninjago . Pythor convinced Lloyd that they were friends , and together they created havoc and took over the Boarding School for Bad Boys which Lloyd had been kicked out of . Pythor and Lloyd were then approached by the four ninja - Kai , Cole , Jay , and Zane - on the roof of the school , but rigged the whole place with booby traps . They went down with an anchor , and went to the bottom floor , where Pythor was able to defeat Kai & Zane with a sticky blob of an unknown substance , and Cole with knockout gas . When Jay reached the roof , Pythor betrayed Lloyd , stole the map , and left him to be captured by Jay . Releasing the Other Serpentine Tribes . Pythor began to free the other Serpentine tribes . Shortly after freeing the Venomari , they attacked Kai and Jay who had come to try and prevent such happenings , but they were rescued by Samurai X . Later , while Pythor was trying to unite the five tribes in Ninjago City , the ninja were able to stop the unification using rumors , but three of the four were captured ( Zane was able to blend in to the background because of his suit which had been dyed pink by Lloyd ) . Zane managed to save the other ninja , and Pythor along with Skales , the Hypnobrai general and the other Serpentine gave chase , but the ninja managed to escape when Zane used the Shurikens of Ice and his snowmobile to get himself and the others to safety . Ouroboros . Continuing with his plan , Pythor and Skales rediscovered the lost city of Ouroboros in the desert . Pythor used the Serpentine Bus to bring the other snakes to Ouroboros , but it was infiltrated by a disguised Lloyd Garmadon , who was now allied with his uncle , Sensei Wu , and the ninja . In Ouroboros , Pythor challenged the generals of the other four generals for their allegiances . Skales , hoping to be second - in - command of the united Serpentine , secretly gave Pythor one of the flutes that had been used long ago to control the Serpentine . Using the flute , the other generals had no choice but to give up their Snake Staffs , the symbols of the generals ' power . Lloyd ' s disguise then showed through when he dropped his maracas ( used to imitate the rattling sounds the Serpentine made ) . His presence shocked Pythor , and Lloyd was imprisoned . The ninja followed Lloyd ' s tracks to Ouroboros , but were captured , stripped of their Golden Weapons , and forced to fight Samurai X . After a long fight which led to nowhere , the ninja began to work with the samurai and latched on to her mech to escape Ouroboros , but without rescuing Lloyd . Search for The Four Fangblades . Soon after , Pythor and the Serpentine began their search for the four Fang Blades which would free The Great Devourer , but Pythor had difficulty revealing the map . He realized that the venom in the five staffs was the key , and started the search . The Serpentine found the first Fang Blade at the Mega Monster Amusement Park . After Zane froze the group , the Samurai stole the blade . However , Pythor unmasked " him " , who actually turned out to be Nya , and tied her up to a broken roller coaster , distracting the ninja and allowing him to escape with the blade in tow . While searching for the second blade at an ancient temple , they used Lloyd to trigger any traps along the way , promising his freedom afterward , but once again , Pythor lied to him . It had turned out that the Fang Blade had already been discovered and turned into a trophy for a talent competition by Clutch Powers . Pythor disguised himself as a judge at the competition , by eating the judge , and was not caught . Although he tried to force the judges to like the snakes , making their score 28 / 30 , and gave the ninja a zero , the eaten talent show host changes it to 10 , so the ninja won with a perfect score . Even so , Pythor ambushes the ninjas backstage and steals the trophy , with the Fang Blade inside . Pythor and the Serpentine found the third Fang Blade in the Fire Temple , which was next to a volcano that was ready to erupt . It was a heated battle , with Lord Garmadon teaming up with the ninja to rescue his son . Pythor left , but not without ordering the Constrictai to tunnel in and cause an eruption . Pythor simply dropped Lloyd in the lava , leaving Lord Garmadon to save him , but Kai recklessly impaled the Fang Blade with his Sword of Fire . He struggled to retrieve the fang blade , but had to get out of the erupting volcano . After Kai chose to save Lloyd over obtaining the Fang Blade , Pythor found the Fangpyre Fang Blade in a pool of lava , and retrieves it . With only one fang blade left for Pythor to find , the ninja , Sensei Wu , and Samurai X made an attempt to steal the other three . However , they were defeated and Pythor revealed the fourth blade to them . With all four blades , Pythor wanted to leave for Ouroboros immediately , but the other Serpentine wanted to celebrate with a Slither Pit tournament , which Pythor reluctantly agreed to . During the distraction , Kai escaped , and tried to free the others , but Pythor re - captured him . Lloyd , now donning green ninja robes , burst into the room , but failed miserably and the Serpentine laughed . Lord Garmadon then entered with the Skulkin army , and a battle began . Despite putting up a good fight against Lord Garmadon himself , the Serpentine King was corned by the ninja and Garmadon , with Cole stealing his Fang Blades . He turned invisible and seemingly fled , but he followed the ninja to their ship , ready to strike . The Great Devourer . When he finally struck , he tied Lloyd to training equipment to keep him quiet . Pythor then threw a sledgehammer at the controls of the ninjas ' headquarters , Destiny ' s Bounty , which caused Wu to fall overboard , but he was rescued by the ninja . While they were distracted , Pythor retrieved the Fang Blades . He was then attacked by an embarrassing , pathetic Lloyd , who was really only buying time for Samurai X to come in . However , he escaped with the Fang Blades in the Rattlecopter and met with the other Serpentine . They used a tour bus infected with Fangpyre venom to return to Ouroboros . However , before they could reach their destination , the ninja arrived yet again . They had trouble with the whipping tail and laser turrets of the caboose , but once they got past that , they fought and crushed several serpentine . Skales was easily defeated and knocked out a window , which caused the other snakes to flee , but Sensei Wu disconnects the front car from the rest of the train , to fight Pythor alone . Pythor had the upper hand , stopping Wu ' s spinjitzu with his staff , and almost ate Wu , but he escaped . The bus crashed right at the city of Ouroboros . At Ouroboros , Pythor placed the four fang blades into The Great Devourer ' s statue , releasing the monster not from the statue , but from the floor beneath . Pythor tried to escape , but was dragged by Sensei Wu in front of the Devourer , and together they were the first things it devoured since its reawakening . New Era . Pythor was briefly mentioned by Skales , as the latter was trying to take over the Serpentine . He said that he was the one who told them not to awaken the Devourer , but that they listened to Pythor , who wanted to reawaken it . REBOOTED .
