Underworld

The Underworld is one of the realms. It is the home to the Skulkin army and the resting place for disgraced warriors.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/772428179407564800
==History==
===Background===
At an unknown point in time, the Underworld came into existence alongside the rest of the other Sixteen Realms, where it would function as a purgatory of-sorts for fallen warriors and animals who failed to realize or accept their passing, trapped in a state of limbo.
Afterward, Samukai would later die and end up in the Underworld and become its king.
===An Underworldly Takeover (flashback)===
Following his banishment, Garmadon swore vengeance. Clashing with Samukai, he promptly won and declared himself King of the Underworld as a result. He then went on to begin his plans to get the Golden Weapons by using the Skulkin as an army.
===Weapons of Destiny===
Master Wu awoke in the Underworld after traveling there via the Fire Temple's lava. He was forced to stay hidden as the Skulkin patrolled the Underworld, but snuck his way around them and headed toward Garmadon's Dark Fortress.
Meanwhile, upon recruiting the Dragons, the ninja relied on their new companions to travel to the Underworld. The Dragons quickly swooped down toward the land below, only to spin themselves into tornadoes which transported them through a swirling vortex. They then navigated through a hidden tunnel before finally arriving in the Underworld.
Kruncha and Nuckal were guarding the Dark Fortress, inspecting any incoming objects to the building. Both Skulkin Generals were unaware of the ninja, who were traveling quietly by stalactites. However, this plan failed as they found themselves mistaking the legs of Spykor for stalactites and fell in front of Nuckal and Kruncha. After Nuckal alerted his brethren to the intruders, the Skulkin began cornering their opponents as several Spykor dropped from the ceiling to join them.
While the ninja began tossing ideas back and forth for their next move, Jay suggested the Tornado of Creation. Each ninja whipped into a Spinjitzu tornado, all four combining into one giant whirling mass. The Skulkin and Spykor were pulled into the massive tornado and ended up trapped in a skeleton Ferris wheel. Taking this as their cue to find their master, the ninja immediately headed into the Dark Fortress.
===Kingdom Come===
While discussing the concept of the Sixteen Realms on a skiff, Fenwick showed the ninja an illusion of the Underworld.
===Curseworld, Part II===
Fighting over the Realm Crystal, Morro and Lloyd would arrive in the Underworld. After Lloyd was attacked by Spykor, Morro would attempt to leave him behind through a portal, only for the Master of Energy to follow in pursuit.
===Dark Island Trilogy, Part 3===
Following his defeat at the Temple of Light, Clouse was banished to the Underworld, ironically finding himself at the same spot Garmadon had ended up in and likewise surrounded by several Skulkin.
===Between Seasons===
The Underworld was presumably attacked by the Oni, with all of its inhabitants turned to stone. However the effects reversed when the Ninja defeated the Oni in Ninjago.
===The Kaiju Protocol===
While trying to open a portal to the Never-Realm, Wu and P.I.X.A.L. concluded the Traveler's Tea was not strong enough. They add more leaves, and instead, opened several portals to different realms.
===Dragons Rising, Season 1===
During a clashing of realms known as the Merge, the Underworld was merged with Ninjago. The Greenbone Warriors that previously resided in the Underworld either relocated to a forest, or to the Crossroads.

==LEGO.com description==
The Underworld is the realm of the dead, populated by fallen warriors who have never fully realized or accepted their passing. It is home to the Skeleton Army, also known as the Skulkin. The Underworld is a dark place, where land masses float in mid-air and are connected by bridges constructed by the Skeletons. Dragons and Skeleton vehicles are able to travel between the NINJAGO world and the Underworld. Once there was a passageway to the Underworld inside the Fire Temple, but it was destroyed by Kai. Lord Garmadon’s Dark Fortress is still located here, symbolizing the fall of the late Samukai who once ruled the Underworld.https://web.archive.org/web/20160806083331/http://www.lego.com/en-us/ninjago/accessories/locations/the-underworld-season-0-09ff23fb81504e9da090000f7e473d3a
==Appearance==
The Underworld is a dark realm where deceased lifeforms can become animate. Certain locations in Ninjago can transport people to the Underworld, the most notable one being the lava in the Fire Temple. The Underworld is home to the Skulkin, who share the realm with the Spykor, which live along the ceiling stalactites.
Pieces of land stay afloat in midair, connected by long wooden bridges that the Skulkin regularly traverse over. They keep torches lit by each bridge to provide sufficient lighting.

==Trivia==
*So far, it's the realm with the most entrances to it: death after being dishonored in battle, dragons, a physical entrance behind the lava fall in the Fire Temple, the Skulkin's vehicles (when driven at very high speed), the Realm Crystal and Traveler's Tea.
*The Underworld was the first alternate realm seen in the show.
*For some reason, set descriptions for 2013 sets (specifically 70501 Warrior Bike and 70504 Garmatron) claim the Stone Army comes from the Underworld.
*In the show's early years, the Underworld was referred to by supplementary material as the place where all beings go when they die, as an "underworld" traditionally is in fiction. This was retconned however, is that in the current story, the Departed Realm exists as seemingly the true place beings go after they die.
**The Underworld's role is very similar to that of Purgatory from real-world religions, as both are an afterlife realm where disgruntled souls are sent to. Unlike Purgatory, it is unknown if a soul will move on to the Departed Realm if they come to terms with their death, or if they are to reside in the Underworld for all eternity.
***Samukai's soul was eventually sent to the Departed Realm but as a result of dying a second time.
*It's unknown whether disgraced warriors from realms other than Ninjago go to the Underworld.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/773933754280730625
*In Season 10, the Underworld was temporarily taken by the Oni until they were defeated.
*The Underworld in Season 11 is re-used footage from the pilot episodes. However, it was footage from before the Ferris Wheel was created, so it appears that the Skulkin have taken it down.
*The Ninjago website museum gave a slightly different explanation of the Underworld, stating "The Underworld is the realm of the dead, populated by fallen warriors who have never fully realized or accepted their passing."
