Serpentine War

The **Serpentine War** (also known as the **Serpentine Wars** and **Anacondrai Wars**) was a war that took place before the events of *Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu*. It was between the people of Ninjago and the snake people known as the Serpentine. It is mentioned in some episodes throughout the series.

## History

Long ago when the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago he created a race of snake people known as the Serpentine. Since then there has been a fragile truce between them and the people of Ninjago. During that time the Serpentine had a prophecy known as the Curse of Golden Master. A time when an evil being with the golden power of the First Spinjitzu Master will rise up and enslave all of Ninjago. When the Serpentine tried the warn the people they would not listen and saw the Serpentine as monsters. So, the Serpentine tried to scare the people underground with a giant snake known as the Great Devourer. However, the Devour was defeated and sealed away which caused high tensions between both Humans and Serpentine until both sides decided to honor a truce agreement. However, an evil martial arts master named Chen lied to both sides claiming that the other side was going to betray them thus causing the Serpentine War with Chen and his student, Clouse allying themselves with the Serpentine. Both sides battled each other for a long time with the Serpentine being led the the Anacondrai Tribe which was led by General Arcturus. While the Humans were led by the Elemental Masters which were led by Wu and Garmadon, the sons of the First Spinjitzu Master. Both sides fought each other with the Elemental Masters having little success especially since Chen was able to turn them against one another using deception. Until Garmadon got an idea to use flutes to control the Serpentine. With that the Elemental Masters created the Sacred Flutes which they used to defeat the Serpentine, divide them, and lock all five tribes away in five separate tombs hidden across Ninjago, thus ending the war.

### Aftermath

As a result of the war, General Arcturus and the other Anacondrai Generals were banished to the Cursed Realm for their crimes while Chen and Clouse were exiled from Ninjago to a faraway island for siding with the Serpentine. As time went on the Serpentine became forgotten and would not be released for a long time with all but one of the Anacondrai Serpentine becoming extinct. However, a young Lloyd Garmadon who was the son of Garmadon would accidentally release the Serpentine which would lead them to unleash the Great Devourer again which would eventually lead to the Liberation of Ninjago. The Serpentine would also later live in peace with the Humans after the Nindroid Crisis. However, the war would continue on years later with the Second Serpentine War which was caused by Chen and ended with the release of Arcturus and the Anacondrai Generals from the Cursed Realm.
