Chickens

Chickens are animals that live in Ninjago, the Never-Realm, and Prime Empire. Wu somehow obtained a chicken at some point after the Oni's invasion.
==History==
Since ancient times, chickens have inhabited the Mountains of Impossible Height. The first monks built the walls of the Monastery of Spinjitzu extra tall to keep them out. However, they failed and many monks were lost. In order to survive, the monks became faster, stronger, and more cunning, evolving into ninja.
After the Oni's invasion, Wu found a chicken in the area around the monastery upon seeing his ninja become lazy.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1460391600794832901
