A shallow part with a stud holds a transparent light blue disk - plate to represent a CHI orb .

Laval ' s head uses an extension piece with a cat - like head fitted over a standard mini - figure one . The extension features an extended snout with the muzzle coloured white and the nose black . An open - mouthed smirk is printed under the nose . Laval has golden , cat - eyes which are surrounded by white show through holes in the head . Around Laval ' s face is a crown which spikes up in the top . It separates the rest of his head from a spiky , dark red mane pointed backwards . Background . Laval is the son of Lagravis and a prince of the Lion Tribe ( and the nephew of Lavertus though Laval didn ' t meet him until later in his life ) . He is friends with other tribe members high up in the class system including Eris , Gorzan , Worriz , Skinnet , Rogon , but above all , it was Cragger who was his best friend . When Cragger discovered the effects of Chi , a rift formed in his and Laval ' s relationship , to the point where the Lion and Crocodile tribes came to battle . In the climax , the Earth split apart and Cragger ' s parents , Crominus and Crunket fell beneath . Though they survived , they were presumed dead . As the new king of the Crocodiles , Cragger was depressed about his parent ' s death , but did not blame the lions . However , he was hypnotized by his sister Crooler into declaring a full - out war against the Lions . However , Laval and the other lions were unaware of the true reasons behind Cragger ' s actions , believing that he performed them intentionally . At Laval ' s coming of age ceremony where he was to place CHI in his chest for the first time , the Lion CHI Temple was attacked by the Crocodiles and their allies , the Wolves and the Ravens . Laval chased after their new leader on a Speedor and dueled him , but he stopped after suddenly realizing that he had been battling Cragger . After many battles won for Laval , he spares him , however Cragger takes advantage of this , and he throws Laval into a nearby lake . Laval began to drown , but he was rescued by a Lion Legend Beast , one of the eight animals of great power who never chose to drink CHI and left Chima long ago . Laval rode the beast back into the battlefield , which the Eagles and Gorillas had now joined , on the side of the Lions . This changed nothing however , as the lions were losing horribly , and when Cragger immediately comes to his senses , Crooler hypnotizes him again . The Beast roared and the fighting stopped as all present bowed down to it , except for Cragger . He plugged an orb of CHI into his chest and charged at the beast , only to be swatted away . Using the orb of CHI that Cragger dropped , Laval was able to defeat the Crocodile King and told Cragger to tell his troops to retreat . Despite all that has happened , Laval still felt bad for Cragger . Laval is skilled in Speedorz tournaments and is also expected to be a warrior on the battlefield , but he is immature and would he would rather play . Razar describes him as a " goody two - paws . " Unlike the other characters , who use powerful , large vehicles for transportation , Laval only uses his Speedor , even during wars . He had a fear of water and swimming as he is a cat . He got over this fear when he remembers Cragger ' s advice about friendship : " Friendship only pulls you down when you fight it , it won ' t when you let it float you where you want to go . " A brief moment after , Laval swims and rescues the Lion Legend , thus removing Laval ' s phobia . In the Ninjago episode Curseworld Part II , Lloyd and Morro teleport to the Land of Chima . Confused , Laval asks them what they are doing . LEGO . com Descriptions . 2013 2014
