Pythor P. Chumsworth

Pythor P. Chumsworth is a self-proclaimed general of the Anacondrai tribe as well as the former Serpentine King. 
He was sealed away with his brethren in the Anacondrai Tomb after the Serpentine's defeat in the Serpentine War. 
After being freed by the Utrom Shredder's Foot Clan, he united his fellow Serpentine and unleashed the Great Devourer on Earth. 
However, the scheme backfired horribly and Pythor became one of the beast's first victims, along with Master Wu. 
Long thought to be deceased, Pythor resurfaced during the Nindroid crisis, allying with the Overlord to seek revenge on the N.I.J.A.S.
Once again, his schemes were foiled after he was shrunken by a shrinking pill, and the Golden Master was destroyed. 
Afterwards, he was sent to Kryptarium Prison.
The ninja visited Pythor at the prison after finding out Chen needed him for a spell that would permanently transform his followers into Anacondrai. 
The Anacondrai Cultists ultimately captured Pythor and used him to fulfill the spell. Pythor escaped and found that the Book of Spells would allow them to summon the spirits of the Anacondrai generals. 
After the spell was cast and Chen's army was vanquished, Arcturus restored Pythor to his original size. 
Pythor then parted ways with promies to destroy the Elemental Clan on his terms.
Years later, Pythor was incarcerated at Kryptarium Prison again by the New Ninja. 
At the prison, he re-encountered with the also-incarcerated ninja after freeing Aspheera from prison. 
Around the same time, Pythor overheard the Crystal King recruiting other past enemies of the ninja for his Council and he himself was eventually recruited and freed from jail by Kabuki Mask. 
Subsequently, together with Vangelis, Aspheera, the Mechanic and Mister F, he took part in a raid on the Monastery of Spinjitzu, where they obtained the Golden Weapons, which they used to help the Crystal King acquire a physical form. 
The Overlord then gifted the Crystal Council with new armor and powers to serve him. 
During the Crystal Infection, Pythor gained a platoon of Crystal Warriors in charge to find the ninja, but failed. 
When the final battle ensued, Pythor was quickly defeated by Jay, who took his nunchucks and left the Anacondrai lying on the warehouse roof. 
After the Overlord's defeat, Pythor and the rest of the council were sent to Kryptarium Prison again.
He was the main antagonist of the Rise of the Snakes story Arc.
== Appearance ==
Unlike most Serpentine and even the Anacondrai, Pythor has a very long and curving neck—at full height, he is approximately twice as tall as a regular character—making him look even more snake-like than his brethren. His skin is purple, with black markings and gold spines along his chest, forehead, and light blue gems on his head and chest. Like the other Serpentine Generals and all of the Anacondrai, he has a long tail instead of legs.
In Jay's memorial daydream, Pythor is slightly lighter purple, has red eyes and no scales on his body. The black markings with gold spines are no longer on the back of his neck or on his tail. In front of the body, on the chest and below, he has light purple scales resembling abdominal muscles. There are black spots and gold spines around them. He has a gold chain hanging on his neck with a snake motif, on which there is a lightblue gem.
When Pythor was devoured by the Great Devourer, his appearance had changed significantly due to the acids in the bowels of the Devourer. His skin was bleached to white, black markings turned to purple and his pink eyes changed to red.
As the Stranger, he wore a long white robe with a black belt and hood that covered his entire head except for two glowing red eyes.
During his imprisonment at the Kryptarium Prison, he wore a striped prison uniform with the code 86753. Later, when Chen kidnapped him, he put on a brown-red Anacondrai vest.
Pythor began wearing the brown-red Anacondrai vest again, although while he was locked up in Kryptarium Prison, he wore a striped prison uniform with the code 0A0 in Ninjargon. His purple eyeliner also disappeared and he no longer has purple markings on the entire length of his tail, just in front.
When Pythor was crystalized by the Overlord, he gained purple-silver armor like the rest of the council, with the Overlord's symbol on his chest and pink glowing accessories. He also received glowing pink crystal shoulder pads. His eyes turned pink and so did the gem on his forehead. After the Overlord's defeat, Pythor's appearance changed back to the original.
== Personality ==
At first glance, Pythor is polite and friendly, but this is only a facade he uses to lure others into his plots. 
His true personality is very arrogant and scheming, and he has no qualms about tricking others into furthering his own goals. 
He is also quite cowardly (or, perhaps, aware that his combat skill is insufficient to match his foes), as he almost never confronts his enemies directly, relying on traps and his fellow Serpentine to disable them or give him an advantage. 
Pythor also expresses a more snarky, sarcastic side as well, usually about his circumstances or others, and often bears a dark sense of humor. 
He is additionally an incredible leader, being a tactical genius, and incredibly smooth and charismatic to others. 
Pythor was also shown to have some thirst for knowledge, as he was fond of studying the Electro-Cobrai, which he would use in the future to recharge the Nindroids.
He is also quite ruthless, willingly devouring several of his fellow tribe members to survive. 
He would even condemn Nick to being incinerated by the flames of a rocket's exhaust fumes, merely remarking on a barbecue, and was incredibly vengeful. 
At times, Pythor is a fairly cowardly warrior, and when his opponent is outnumbered, he either disappears or runs away.
Additionally, Pythor showed a rather vain and egotistical side, being offended from mere physical contact with Skales and considering himself better than others, most likely due to his status as an Anacondrai. 
Consequently, he was also loyal to the reputation and legacy of his deceased tribe, regardless of his callous devouring of them, and would even assist the N.I.N.J.A.S. to stop Chen from tarnishing their name, swallowing his pride.
While generally charming and charismatic, Pythor is also an incredibly cruel, psychotic, and disturbed being. 
He greatly enjoys indulging in cannibalism, constantly having recipes for eating other Serpentine on his own personal being and even attempting to devour his enemies alive. 
He enjoys gloating this fact towards Adam, often mocking the Green Ninja and feeding his feelings of insecurity and inadequacy, and treating him as a particular nemesis. 
In moments of extreme stress (either triumph or hindrance), Pythor displays what may be his true self: a raging madman obsessed with his goal of reviving the Great Devourer and restoring Serpentine dominance over New York City. 
In this state, his voice becomes noticeably higher-pitched, heavily interspersed with mad laughter and hysterical screaming. 
This side of Pythor when unleashing the Great Devourer, as he was reduced to incoherent yelps of fear as the beast emerged from Ouroboros. 
Loneliness could influence the birth of this mad side since Pythor remained alone in the tomb of Anacondrai for a long time and at the same time he firmly believes that everyone, even tyrants, needs friends. 
As confirmation, when alone, Pythor either talks to himself or makes insensate friends like a ball and a rat. 
Even after the Serpentine chose to become pacifists and the Great Devourer was destroyed, Pythor continued to harbor a dark grudge against the ninja and everyone else in general. Despite attempting to reform following his help in defeating Chen, he quickly fell back into villainy, being a natural megalomaniac.
When he was imprisoned in Kryptarium Prison with the ninja, Pythor greatly provoked them by praising the New Ninja for being much better than the old ones. 
He also showed that he was very unstable and after insults he started throwing food and coasters uncontrollably at the ninja. 
He also seems to have dreams of his mother and talks from sleep. 
During his escape, he also enjoyed not having to slither because he was carried by the crystal spiders. 
Later, at the council meeting, he also proved to be a bit of a hypocrite, as he told Adam a few years ago that he loved revenge, but ironically repeated these words after Aspheera, as he thought she was exaggerating. 
During their brief time together, Pythor became increasingly annoyed with Aspheera's desire for revenge and even mimicked her during the Crystal King's ritual.
== Skills & Abilities ==
True to his ruthlessness, Pythor remains the last survivor of the Anacondrai tribe which proves his tenaciousness and scheming nature, proving strong enough to handle his own people turning on each other and devouring one another. 
Arguably this could elude to Pythor being the strongest of the Anacondrai, however, more likely being a case of showcasing his strategising abilities.
* Anacondrai invisibility: Pythor's primary ability allows him to turn invisible whenever he wants, while he can disappear even with certain objects he holds in his hands, which is not possible, for example, when using the Elemental Power of Light.
* Swallowing victims: Pythor can increase his jaw width and swallow opponents whole, although swallowed victims can still try to escape his belly.
* Strength: Like with all Anacondrai, physically Pythor possessed strength beyond that of an average human being.
* Prolonged lifespan: Like the rest of the Serpentine, Pythor has a prolonged lifespan.
* Fire resistance: Like all Anacondrai, Pythor's hide is immune to fire.
* Forked tongue: Pythor can smell using the tip of his tongue, and a forked tongue allows him to sense from which direction a smell is coming.
* Intelligence: Pythor can come up with various complex plans and traps, such as betraying the Foot Clan, luring the ninja into a trap in the underground fortress, or stealing the Overlord's hard drive.
* Hand-to-hand combat capability: Pythor has displayed some hand-to-hand combat capability, using punches and tail whips, although he is not really a very good fighter and his way of fighting is quite chaotic. Compared to the other Serpentine generals his skills were quite insufficient and relied on a flute to achieve victory.
* Archery: Pythor proved to be a good archer when he saved Techno Wu using a bow.
* Cannon shooting: Pythor is also good at cannon shooting, as it turned when out he was able to hit a small lizard near Darkley's.
* Computer skills: During his secrecy after the attack of the Great Devourer, Pythor learned relatively complicated computer skills and hacking.
== Weapons ==
* Anacondrai Staff: Pythor could fight with his staff, although he usually used it a little awkwardly.
* Snake bow: Pythor had this bow when he saved Techno Wu.
* Whistle: During the theft of Electro-Cobrai, Pythor used a whistle that could break the glass in the aquarium.
* Snake strangler: During Lloyd's abduction in Hiroshi's Labyrinth, Pythor used a snake strangler, a programmed metal weapon that held Lloyd in grip and prevented him from moving.
* Bone: While breaking into Borg Tower, Pythor used a bone as a weapon.
* Naginata: During the Crystal Council's mission in the hangar bay, Pythor used a naginata as a weapon.
* Nunchucks of Destruction: After transforming the Nunchucks of Lightning into a crystal weapon, Pythor began using it, gaining the the ability to shoot purple crystals.

* Unnamed Mother (Presumbly Deceased)
