==Designer's notes==
"This is the first set I did for Ninjago. One of the great things about this set for me is that I had the opportunity to do the sketch model as well as the finished model.
I enjoyed trying to find a way to bring something new to the pantheon of popular Ninjago dragons. My main goal was to try and infuse it with as much liveliness as possible. It was important for it to appear constantly in motion. I also wanted to give it the personality of a big, hyper dog, slobbery tongue, overactive tail and all.
The decorations for this set were designed by Kjeld Sørensen, and instructions by Morten Odgaard."https://brickset.com/sets/designer-Jme-Wheeler
==Trivia==
*The titular Jungle Dragon, Zippy, first appeared in "The Keepers of the Amulet" and the jungle surfboard first appeared in "Uncharted".
*This set is the cheapest way to get Zane and a Thunder Keeper.
*The dragon uses the same lower jaw mold as the Overlord Dragon.
*The reason why Zippy is called the Jungle Dragon in this set is that the sets and the show are developed at different times and it tends to cause some inconsistency at times.https://twitter.com/KnapDK/status/1372540947070922756
*The designer of this set, Jme Wheeler, had in mind a "big hyper dog" for the personality of the dragon.https://brickset.com/sets/designer-Jme-Wheeler
