Skales

'*Skales'*  (alternatif olarak yazılmış  *'Pullar'* ), Hypnobrai kabilesinden ve şu anki Yılan Kralından bir Yılanlı 'dır. Başlangıçta kabilenin generalini Slithraa Slither Pit 'de bir savaşla deviren bir savaşçıydı. Ve Pythor 'un sözde ölüm ünü takiben, yeni Yılan Kral oldu. O Skales Jr. 'ın babası ve Selma nın kocasıdır. Skales ve kabilesi, Serpantinleri yalnızca ona karşı dönmeleri için "hizmetkarları" olarak birleştirmeye çalışan  Lloyd Garmadon tarafından  mezarından kurtulan ilk kişilerdi. Skales Constrictai, Fangpyre ve Venomari kabileleri ile ittifak kurdu ve Pythor Fangblades üzerinde hak iddia etti ve Great Devourer 'ı uyandırdı.

Pythor, onu ve Wu'yu tüketen ve Ninjago 'yu harap etmeye başlayan Yutucuyu canlandırmada başarılı oldu.

Serpentine kaçtı ve Skales,  Lord Garmadon unvanı ele geçirmeden önce kendisini Yılan Kral ilan etti. Skales, Garmadon'a ihanet etmeden ve onu Karanlık Ada 'da terk etmeden önce, liderliğine karşı çıkmasına rağmen Garmadon ile ittifak kurdu. Skales, Yılanlıları yeraltında Taş Ordu Mezarı na götürerek unvanını geri kazandı. Orada, antik Taş Ordu, Devourer'in  zehiri aracılığıyla yeniden canlandırıldı. Savaşçılar mezardan kaçmadan ve yılanları yeraltına kapatmadan önce Serpentine'e karşı savaştılar.

Serpantin mezardan kaçmayı başardı, ancak yerin üstüne dönmemek istedikleri için burayı evleri yapmaya karar verdi. Ninja bir  özel sabit disk bulmak için mezara girdiğinde, onları yeni hayatlarıyla tanıştıran Skales'i buldular. Skales ve Serpentine'in geri kalanı daha sonra Golden Master 'ın saldırısı sırasında Ninjago halkının yeraltından tahliye edilmesine yardım etti. Bir süre sonra Skales ve müttefikleri de Elemental Masters ile Anacondrai warriors 'a karşı savaştı.

## Geçmiş

### Arka Plan

Skales bir noktada Fangpyre kabilesinin Generali Fangtom ile iyi arkadaş oldu.

Zaman İkizleri 'nin  dönüşünden kırk yıl önce, Skales, kabilesinin geri kalanıyla birlikte Kutsal Flüt kullanılarak bir mezara kapatıldı.

### Yılanların Yükselişi

#### Yılanların Yükselişi

Skales,  mezarı  Lloyd Garmadon tarafından açıldığında Hypnobrai arasındaydı. Dehşet içinde, general Slithraa, Lloyd'un zihninin kontrolünü ele geçirdiği kazara kendini hipnotize ettiği için genç insana itaat etmelerini emretti. Bu, Serpantinlerin şeker için Jamanakai Köyü baskınıyla sonuçlandı. Skales, saldırının yeteneklerini boşa harcadığını söyleyerek protesto etti, ancak Slithraa - Lloyd'u hipnotize etmeye çalışırken kazara  hipnotize onu hizada tuttu.

Ninja saldırdığında, Skales Cole 'u hipnotize etmeye çalıştı, ancak Nya ona saldırarak kesintiye uğradı. Ninja Slithraa'dan Hypnobrai Asası 'nı çaldığında yılanlar sonunda geri çekilmek zorunda kaldı, ancak Skales Cole üzerinde gizlice kontrolü elinde tuttu ve Ninja üzerinde casusluk yapmasına izin verdi. Planlarken Skales, Slithraa'ya sadakat cephesini sürdürdü, ancak Lloyd 'un yeterliliğini sorgulamaya devam etti. Özel olarak Mezmo, Skales'in Slithraa ile doğrudan yüzleşmeyi neden reddettiğini öğrenmek istedi, ancak Skales astına, zamanı geldiğinde ortaya çıkacak bir planı olduğu konusunda güvence verdi.

#### Home

Bilinmeyen kölesi Cole'u kullanan Skales, Hypnobrai personelinin Kutsal Flüt ile birlikte Spinjitzu Manastırı ' da saklandığını gördü. Bu Bilgi üzerinde hareket etmeden önce, Hypnobrai, Lloyd için an arboreal fortress inşa etmeye başlamak için Wildwood Forest ' a yönlendirildi. Skales, slithraa'dan başka bir azarlama kazanarak siyah bir görevden şikayet etti, ancak Ninja kaleyi yıkmak için saldırıya uğradığında bir fırsat ortaya çıktı.

Ninja, iki destek ipini keserek kaleye önemli hasar verdikten sonra, Skales Cole üzerindeki kontrolünü zorladı ve siyah Ninja'yı müttefiklerine saldırmaya zorladı. Ninja işgal edildiğinde, Skales Serpantini bir geri çekilmeye götürdü-Lloyd protesto ettiğinde, entrikacı savaşçı onu hapsetmek için kalenin tuzaklarından birini kullandı. Wu, Skales'in Cole üzerindeki kontrolünü Kutsal Flüt müziğiyle kırmak için Nya ve [[ateş Ejderhası] ile birlikte gelirken, Hypnobrai Spinjitzu Manastırını işgal etti ve bu süreçte personelini geri alarak yere yaktı.

Elinde Hypnobrai personeli ile Skales, kabilesini mezarlarına geri götürdü ve Lloyd bir mahkum olarak bağlandı. İkincisinin ısrarında, Slithraa personelini geri istedi, ancak Skales reddetti ve Generalini Hypnobrai'nin liderliği için bir Slither çukuru ' a meydan okudu. Şiddetli bir savaştan sonra, Skales'in "Fang Kwon Do" ustalığı, Slithraa'yı yenmesine ve Hypnobrai'nin yeni Generali olmasına izin verdi.

Yeni otoritesiyle Skales, Slithraa'ya Lloyd yerine ona itaat etmesini emretti ve slithraa'nın berbat hipnozunun etkilerini etkili bir şekilde geri aldı. Ölçekler ayrıca lloyd'u mezardan kovdu, ancak kötü niyetli derebeyi dışarı çıkarken bir map Haritası çalmadan önce değil.

#### Never Trust a Snake

A few days later, the Hypnobrai were attacked by the Fangpyre tribe, who Lloyd had released for vengeance. Skales led his tribe into battle, but when Fangpyre General Fangtom saw the change in leadership, the fight was averted—Skales and Fangtom were great friends from before the Serpentine's imprisonment. Skales expressed relief that the Fangpyre had been released instead of the Constrictai, the Venomari, or the dreaded Anacondrai, commenting that there would have been "a tussle" if the other tribes had been brought against the Hypnobrai. He and Fangtom began debating what to do with Lloyd, but the latter snuck off before they could come to a consensus, heading for the Anacondrai Tomb to unleash the most powerful Serpentine of all.

#### Can of Worms

Skales eventually came into contact with Pythor, who had released the other two tribes and sought to unite them as part of a prophecy. Although Skales was skeptical, the last Anacondrai persisted, calling a meeting in the tunnels of Ninjago City and attempting to convince the Serpentine to join forces. Unfortunately, the Ninja interfered by throwing insults among the crowd, tricking the snakes into arguing with each other.

Skales has noticed Cole running around on the walkways and sent a group of Constrictai to capture them. The burrowing snakes caught all but one of the Ninja, but that one—Zane—managed to free his comrades. Skales joined the horde of Serpentine pursuing the Ninja but failed to prevent their escape when Zane froze the tunnel and rode away on his Snowmobile. As the snakes tried to maintain their footing, Skales again attempted to dissuade Pythor's attempts to unite the tribes, only for the Anacondrai to brush him off with fury.

#### The Snake King

Following this failure, Skales accompanied Pythor into the Sea of Sand, where the latter hoped to unearth the Lost City of Ouroboros. Skales again expressed his concerns that Pythor was chasing an unattainable dream, only for the Anacondrai to find the dial that caused the city to rise from the sand.

With the city rediscovered, Skales began gathering the Serpentine for an announcement from Pythor, enticing his subordinates with the promise of a fight. Just before setting off in the Serpentine Bus, Lloyd ran up, disguised as a Hypnobrai Scout. Despite the rather shaky resemblance, Skales was fooled, simply telling Lloyd to close the door before he sat down.

At Ouroboros' Slither Pit, Pythor told Skales about his plan to unite the tribes by becoming the Snake King. He promised Skales the position of second-in-command if he played his part, and Skales agreed, stuffing cotton balls in his ears before joining his fellow Generals on the opposite side of the arena.

When Pythor declared his intentions to force the tribes to obey him by defeating all four Generals at once, Skales hung back, waiting for the right opportunity. The said opportunity arose when the other three Generals pinned Pythor to the ground; while they beat on the Anacondrai General, Skales slipped him the Sacred Flute. Pythor immediately turned the tide by playing the flute—although Skales was immune due to the cotton in his ears, he pretended to be reeling in pain like the other three Generals. At Pythor's signal, Skales threw down his staff and subsequently joined the other Serpentine in bowing before their new supreme leader.

#### Tick Tock

With the tribes united, Skales joined Pythor in searching for a means of finding the four silver Fangblades, which could awaken the Great Devourer to destroy Ninjago. After a long, fruitless search, Skales warned Pythor that the tribes would begin asking questions if they didn't produce results soon—luckily, a brawl between Skalidor and Acidicus revealed the answer. When Pythor put all five Serpentine Staffs together over a piece of parchment, the combined anti-venoms created a map to the Fangblades.

#### Once Bitten, Twice Shy

The Serpentine arrived at Mega Monster Amusement Park to retrieve the first Fangblade. When they did, they stopped the Ninja from taking it from them but had to get it back from Samurai X.

#### The Royal Blacksmiths

Skales was among the group of Serpentine who accompanied Pythor to the Desert Pyramid in search of the second Fangblade. He nearly triggered a trap before Pythor stopped him from moving on, and watched as the Anacondrai used their prisoner—Lloyd—to reach the center of the pyramid. Unfortunately for the Serpentine, Lloyd reported that the Fangblade had been removed from its resting place.

Pythor eventually discovered that the Fangblade was now part of the Blade Cup, a trophy awarded to the winner of Ninjago's annual talent show. Disguising himself with a false beard, Skales was among the Serpentine watching the show, applauding the Treble Makers and sending his minions to try and hinder the Ninja's act. Despite the snakes' interference, the Ninja won the Blade Cup, but Pythor managed to retrieve the Fangblade anyway by attacking Cole's father, Lou.

#### The Green Ninja

Skales accompanied Pythor to the volcano behind the Fire Temple, where they uncovered the third Fangblade. Once again, the Ninja interfered, this time accompanied by Lord Garmadon, who sought to save his son. After Pythor had a group of Constrictai destabilizes the volcano, Skales led the Serpentine's retreat, lingering just long enough to snap Pythor out of his rage when Kai knocked the Fangblade from his grasp. Later, on his way down from the volcano, Skales witnessed Pythor retrieving the Fangblade from a river of lava.

#### All of Nothing

While Pythor sought the final Fangblade, Skales waited with the bulk of the Serpentine forces in their new underground fortress beneath the Mountain of a Million Steps. He interrupted the other Generals' discussion about whether or not the Great Devourer existed, reminding them that their leader would be back soon. When the Ninja arrived to try and steal the other three Fangblades, Skales led a group of Hypnobrai against Kai. His attempt to hypnotize the Red Ninja failed when Kai performed Spinjitzu with his eyes closed, but the Ninja were captured anyway when they triggered a trap at the bottom of the fortress.

When Pythor returned with the fourth Fangblade, the Serpentine called for a Slither Pit to celebrate their impending victory. Pythor was about to refuse, but Skales convinced him to allow at least one night of celebration, promising that they would head back to Ouroboros in the morning. Although Pythor reluctantly agreed, he made it very clear to Skales that no one was to let their guard down.

Pythor's fears turned out to be well-founded when Lord Garmadon led the Skulkin army into the fortress to ensure that he alone would rule Ninjago. Skales joined the other Serpentine in attacking the skeletons and was knocked down by Kruncha after Nuckal distracted him with an odd dance. In the confusion, Lloyd freed the Ninja, and they escaped with the Fangblades.

#### The Rise of the Great Devourer

After Pythor reclaimed the Fangblades, he jumped off the *Destiny's Bounty*, where Skales was waiting on the lower platform of a |Rattlecopter. Pythor lamented that the helicopter would never reach Ouroboros before the Ninja caught up, but Skales revealed that the Serpentine had already commandeered a tour bus for their use. When the Ninja pursued the bus, Skales was the first to notice them, prompting Pythor to ready the Serpentine for battle.

Skales personally went to ensure that the Ninja wouldn't reach the front car of the bus, confronting Cole one car back. He seemed to have the ninja trapped between himself and a group of Serpentine Soldiers, but Cole simply summoned his Tread Assault and blasted Skales out of the window with its cannon.

#### Day of the Great Devourer

Pythor finally managed to unleash the Great Devourer, only to discover that he had no control over the beast when it consumed him and Sensei Wu. Fearing for their lives, the Serpentine retreated to the Fangpyre Tomb, with Skales arguing with Fangtom over whether or not he had known that this was how Pythor's plan would have turned out. Much later, the Generals heard cheering on the surface—realizing that the Devourer had been destroyed, Skales declared that the Serpentine would need a new leader.

### Legacy of the Green Ninja

#### Darkness Shall Rise

Skales gathered the Serpentine in the small cave near the ruins of the *Destiny's Bounty* to declare himself the new Snake King. However, Lord Garmadon arrived to entice the Serpentine to become his minions, demonstrating his power by using the Golden Weapons to restore the *Destiny's Bounty* as the *Black Bounty*. Despite Skales' protests that Garmadon wasn't even a Serpentine, the other snakes quickly flocked to join the four-armed villain, leaving Skales with only his fellow Generals.

Deciding that he needed a new approach, Skales and the other Generals hatched a plan from their temporary lair in the subway tunnels of Ninjago City—while Fangtom, Acidicus, and Skalidor robbed a bank to distract the Ninja, Skales would kidnap Lloyd for leverage against Lord Garmadon. The plan went off flawlessly, with Skales cornering Lloyd in the apartment he was using for training, but the arrival of Sensei Wu and Nya ruined the scheme. Skales was left in the local prison, swearing that the Ninja hadn't seen the last of him yet.

#### Ninjaball Run

The other Serpentine Generals used a Serpentine Bus to break Skales out of prison. While evading the police, he ended up driving into the middle of the annual Ninjaball Run—after some initial confusion, Skales became obsessed with winning the race, to the point of knocking Spitta off of the windshield when the Venomari Soldier was attempting to attack the Ninja's Ultra Sonic Raider. Unfortunately, the bus crashed into Ed and Edna's jalopy, the Darkley's school bus, and the Postman's bicycle, creating a massive pile-up.

Eventually, Skales managed to get the bus out of the pile-up and drove to the finish line, where Lord Garmadon had lost the *Black Bounty* to Lloyd and the Ultra Dragon. Smugly noting that Garmadon was the one needing help now, Skales pulled up in the Serpentine Bus and helped the dark villain escape arrest.

#### Child's Play

Once again a second-in-command, Skales spent much of his time criticizing Lord Garmadon's failures against the Ninja. He continued grumbling as Garmadon led the Serpentine to the Ninjago Museum of History, where he planned to use the Mega Weapon to revive a ferocious prehistoric beast known as the Grundal. The Ninja attacked to try and stop the ritual, and Skales was forced to retreat along with the rest of the villains. He helped the other Generals snatch an ornate sarcophagus from the museum on their way out, but left it in the streets when it proved too bulky to force into a manhole that the Serpentine had escaped through.

#### The Stone Army

When Garmadon told the Generals about the fabled Island of Darkness, Skales scoffed at the notion but opted to accompany Garmadon on his search, taking a Rattlecopter out to sea.

However, this was merely to set up another plot; while flying over the Endless Ocean, Skales claimed to see the island in the distance. When Lord Garmadon went to look, Skales pushed him out of the open door and into the ocean far below. The other Serpentine Generals immediately declared Skales as the new Snake King.

#### The Day Ninjago Stood Still

After his coronation (complete with a new golden crown), Skales ordered the Serpentine to dig under Ninjago City, planning to bury its inhabitants like they once were. While digging, the snakes found an ancient tomb filled with strange statues. As the Serpentine inspected the room, some of the Great Devourer's venom dripped from the ceiling onto the statues, instantly bringing them to life.

Skales ordered the Serpentine to attack, but the Stone Warriors proved invulnerable. Acidicus questioned if they should retreat from the losing battle, but Skales demanded that they hold their ground. However, Skales quickly realized that the door to the tomb was closing as the Stone Warriors left. Unable to reach the entrance in time, the Hypnobrai General could only scream in fury and dismay as the Serpentine were sealed underground once again.

### Rebooted

#### The Curse of the Golden Master

Following the Overlord's defeat, which the Serpentine were aware of but remained underground for, Skales and his people made the tomb of the Stone Warriors their new home. Skales married a pink Hypnobrai and the two had a son whom they named Skales Jr. After New Ninjago City's power was knocked out, Skales left the tomb to go grocery shopping and returned to find the Ninja (minus Lloyd) waiting for him. Skales soon explained that the Serpentine had adopted a new way of life, seeking to care for the next generation and vowing never to return to the surface again.
Skales and his fellow Serpentine shared with the Ninja the tale of the Golden Master, a feared being of legend who would possess the power of the First Spinjitzu Master. Their cavern was then attacked by the Nindroids, but the Ninja defended the tribe and were able to defeat them after discovering that they were powered by Electrocobrai. Learning that Lloyd was in danger, the Ninja asked if Skales would join them, but the Hypnobrai refused. He did, however, inform them that he knew of only one Serpentine who utilized Electrocobrai: his former master, Pythor.

#### The Titanium Ninja

Skales, Slithraa, and some Constrictai warriors and soldiers helped evacuate the citizens of Ninjago underground to escape the wrath of the Golden Master.

### The Tournament of Elements

#### The Corridor of Elders

Skales briefly appeared in the crowd with his son, as Zane addressed to them near the Titanium Ninja statue.

Later on, he took part in the battle at the Corridor of Elders when an Anacondrai Crusher tried to slice him, the rebuilt *Bounty* anchor crushed it. A relieved Skales remarked that he never thought to be happy at seeing the ship again.

He continued to battle and presumably witnessed Chen and the cultists being banished to the Cursed Realm and celebrated the victory with the others.

### *Pythor's Revenge*

After Pythor stole the BorgWatch prototype from the Ninja, he decided to show it to his fellow Serpentine. Upon Pythor's arrival in the Stone Army Tomb, Skales was surprised to see Pythor and questioned his former king about his presence. Skales Jr. arrived and recognized the BorgWatch; begging his father to let Pythor show the Serpentine what he had proposed. When Pythor attempted to activate the BorgWatch's thermodynamic temperature gauge for all of the Serpentine to see, nothing happened, and Skales was unamused. After the Ninja arrived and chased Pythor out of the Serpentine village, Skales Jr. asked his father if they could go to the surface to see the unveiling of the BorgWatch. Skales did not agree and assured his son that "they're crazy up there."

### The Hands of Time

#### Secrets Discovered

Skales and Skales Jr., along with some Constrictai, tracked the Vermillion Warriors to the swamp and watched as Krux and Acronix dragged an aging Wu to their lair.

Later, Lloyd, Jay, Zane, and Cole picked up the signatures of Skales and his son on board the *Destiny's Shadow*. Thinking they were more Vermillion, the three Ninja attacked them. However, Lloyd recognized the snakes and ordered the others to stop. Skales then explained that the Vermillion warriors were the pure first progeny of the Great Devourer, and that, like the Devourer, they would consume everything in their path. When Cole revealed that they had discovered breeding tanks in Krux's lair in the museum, Skales said that the tanks were sufficient for breeding small numbers of Vermillion, but that breeding an entire army required a swamp; the same swamp that the Time Twins were using as their lair. When Lloyd asked if Skales could show them the way to the swamp, the Hypnobrai general said that he could not because he had a family to protect. However, he gave the Ninja a map to the swamp and wished them luck.

### Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu

#### Ancient History

The Ninja visit Serpentine territory seeking out Skales’ help on researching Aspheera. At first, he doesn’t want to help them because of the many times he has before whenever they were at a loss on an enemy and even tries to question if they are friends after they call him such. However, he soon concedes and introduces them to Acidicus who gives the knowledge that they need and they put the Ninja discovered Aspheera was betrayed by a "deceiver" who they think was Garmadon.

#### The Kaiju Protocol

Skales is briefly seen when Ninjago City is attacked.

### Prime Empire

#### Level Thirteen

Skales and Silthraa appear on one of the TV screens at Borg Tower.

## In *Shadow of Ronin* (non-canon)

 Dosya:SoRSkalesTkn.png   Skales is a playable character in *LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin*. He can be purchased for 250,000 studs after collecting his character token in Level 14: The Ice Temple. He is armed with a Hypnobrai Staff and possesses the Hypnobrai hypnotism attack.

## Abilities and Weapons

Apart from the standard Hypnobrai ability to hypnotize others with his gaze, Skales has trained in a martial art called "Fang-Kwon-Do." The only known maneuver of this martial art involves mesmerizing the opponent with swaying body motions and delivering a jumping kick to their chin when they let their guard down. In combat, Skales appears proficient in the use of several weapons, including dual swords (used during the Slither Pit against Slithraa), the Hypnobrai Staff (his preferred weapon after becoming a General), and a Major Spear (his "default" weapon on his Ninjago.com profile).

Arguably, Skales' most dangerous weapon is his mind—he is an ambitious plotter who constantly seeks new means of getting more power or subverting a disliked leader. He is also shown to be patient, limiting his insubordination to the questioning of orders and general grumbling until an opportune moment arises to make his move, and generally comes up with effective strategies against his foes, exploiting their physical and mental weaknesses. However, his arrogance can occasionally subvert his intelligence, causing him to make mistakes that lead to defeat.
