Wojira

Template:Creature

**Wojira** (also known as the **Sleeper in the Deep**, the **Great Serpent**, or the **Mighty Serpent of the Wave and the Storm**) was a storm spirit in the form of a giant sea serpent. Before time had a name, she used the Amulets of Wojira to rule the seas of Ninjago. In a battle with the islanders, Merlopians, and the First Spinjitzu Master, Wojira was defeated by Nyad and thrown into a deep sleep.

However, after being reawakened by Kalmaar, he used his trident to exercise his will on her body. Wojira helped him with his goal of destroying the surface-world of Ninjago and its inhabitants until Kalmaar's trident was broken by Benthomaar, freeing her, upon which she promptly ate Kalmaar. Before she could do further harm to Ninjago City, she was defeated by Nya who destroyed the Wave Amulet, although it is unclear whether she has gone to the Departed Realm or transported herself elsewhere to fall into another deep slumber and return.

## History

### Battle of Nine Days

Long before the island of Ninjago was created in its realm, Wojira terroized the seas by controlling its waves and storms, having the powers of Wave and Storm as a result. When the young First Spinjitzu Master arrived in the realm, he found a world in chaos. Together with the Merlopians and islanders, two species that were threatened by Wojira, the First Spinjitzu Master battled Wojira. However, they were unsuccessful, facing seeming defeat by the great serpent. All seemed lost, until Nyad, the first Elemental Master of Water, leaped on to Wojira and saw the source of her power. Two amulets that Wojira wore upon her forehead, the Storm Amulet and the Wave Amulet. Nyad tried using her broken trident to pry the amulets, but it did not work. As a last resort, she merged with the Endless Sea and finally pried the amulets from the top of her head, casting the beast into a deep sleep. The First Spinjitzu Master gave the Wave Amulet to the Merlopians, and the Storm Amulet to the islanders, so they can keep them from Wojira. The seas of the realm became calm and tranquil, allowing for the First Spinjitzu Master to create Ninjago. After her defeat, Wojira was placed in a temple in the deepest part of the Endless Sea known as the Tartarus Trench.

### Before the conflict on the Island of the Keepers

Sometime before the ninja fought against the Keepers and Ronin, who used a boat that resembled Wojira to trick the Keepers, Prince Kalmaar stole the Wave Amulet from the Merlopians and placed it back on Wojira's forehead.

### A Big Splash through Five Thousand Fathoms Down

When Kalmaar had one Amulet in his possession and could not find the other, he hired the Merlopian scientist Glutinous, who made a number of Storm Amulet replicas, connected electricity cables charged by the jellyfish to Wojira, and tried to awake her up with electroshocks from the charged replica, but to no avail. Instead, it caused the marine life and one of Wojira's elements, Water, to go out of control.

### Five Thousand Fathoms Down

Nya and Maya find a temple in the Tartarus Trench. They go inside and find writing on the wall. Zane translates most of the message. It said to not go any further because the sleeper in the deep must not be disturbed until the end of days. Zane tries to translate the final word while Nya and Maya open the door. They see Merlopians experimenting on a creature. All of a sudden Kalmaar comes in and yells at Glutinous to awaken the serpent. Glutinous tells the others to try again. He powers on the cables while Zane finally translates the final word. It was Wojira. P.I.X.A.L. tells Nya and Maya the sleeper is Wojira and Zane tells them to get out of there.

### The Calm Before the Storm

Kalmaar makes it back to Wojira's Temple and successfully awakens Wojira. He takes control of her by stabbing his trident onto the Wave Amulet on her head, causing her pain. He then commands her to destroy the surface world of Ninjago. In the ocean, *Mary Louise* is in a giant storm with rough seas. The crew call for help with no success. The captain sees a shadow in the water. As he looks in terror, Wojira emerges with Kalmaar on her head laughing. Wojira sinks back into the ocean and the storm goes away and the sea is calm again.

In Ninjago City, a giant storm comes and all the citizens get an alert to evacuate the city. The citizens follow the alert and evacuate in terror. Gayle Gossip is with Vinny reporting how the seas are rapidly rising and how the storm came out of no where. Gayle then looks back and sees Wojira come out of the ocean with Kalmaar commanding her to destroy them all. Wojira then proceeds to flood the city.

### Assault on Ninjago City

Gayle Gossip is talking about how the scene was chaotic. Wojira then comes and roars at Gayle and Vinny. The *Destiny's Bounty* comes and Wu tells them to get on the ship quickly. Then the *Bounty* flies away and Kalmaar commands Wojira to go after the *Bounty*. Two kids then see Wojira looking for the *Bounty*. Wojira then stops and Kalmaar stabs his trident onto her again. As his trident hits her, she starts to move again. The kids try to swim away in their bathtub, but they start to sink. The *Bounty* then sees them and picks them up and gets them to safety. Wojira then sees the *Bounty* and Wu tells P.I.X.A.L. to hurry up and leave. They then start to leave as Wojira tries to blast the Bounty. P.I.X.A.L. then fires missiles at Wojira and they successfully hit her.

Wojira then roars and stops. Kalmaar threatens them, then commands Wojira to strike the *Bounty* down. Wojira then goes and tries to blast the *Bounty* again. Lloyd then comes out of the water and tries to attack Wojira, but she blasts the mech and Lloyd falls back into the water.

Lloyd then tells Kai and Zane to hit Wojira with everything they have got. Wojira then goes underwater and Kai fires one of his torpedoes; it hits Wojira but does not harm her. Kai fires another one, but Wojira blasts him. Wojira then rises out of the water and blasts the *Bounty*. She successfully hits it and it crashes. Wojira goes to the *Bounty* and gets ready to blast it again, but Kai and Zane fire their torpedoes at her. Kai says Kalmaar is going to regret messing with their city. Kalmaar then says that their city is now his city, and the only regret he has is he can only destroy the city once. Wojira then gets ready to blast Kai and Zane, but Jay blasts her using his Sub car. Wojira then tries to eat Jay's car, but water then blasts Wojira. She lets go of his car and it sinks to the bottom. The person who blasted the water at Wojira was Nya. She then says that the battle ends now. Wojira and Kalmaar then lunge at Nya, ready for their fight.

### Nyad

Nya water hops and attacks Wojira and Kalmaar. They fight each other for a bit and Kalmaar eventually gets the upper hand. He has Nya cornered, but she tells him it is not over and that she will be back. Nya then retreats as Kalmaar commands Wojira to go after then. Eventually Kalmaar and Wojira come across the *Bounty* sailing. Kalmaar then commands Wojira to sink the ship. She proceeds to do so as Kalmaar goes on the ship to find the ninja, but the ninja are not there. Nya meets the other ninja at the building. They then hear Wojira and retreat in the building. Kalmaar then screams that he will find Nya and that the world is no longer hers, it's now his. Wojira then drops off Kalmaar by a nearby building. Gripe then comes and tells Kalmaar that he found someone who claims to know the ninja and Kalmaar tells him to take him there. As Kalmaar and the other Merlopians interrogate the police commissioner, Wojira then alerts Kalmaar that someone is coming. He then goes on Wojira's head and states that it's Nya. Nya then lunges toward Wojira and Kalmaar.

### The Turn of the Tide

During the battle at the Ninjago City Police Station, Wojira initially maintained a passive stance while Kalmaar fought Nya on her head. After Nya's apparent demise, Wojira received an order to launch an attack on the ninja using a combination of Storm and Water beams. Subsequently, Wojira was utilized as a platform for Kalmaar to engage in battle with Jay and Benthomaar, all while remaining under his control. Upon the destruction of Kalmaar's trident by Benthomaar, Wojira was freed from Kalmaar's influence since he cannot cause her pain anymore. Wojira employed physical force in an attempt to remove Kalmaar from her head, slamming her head against the police station. Regrettably, the approach was futile, leading Kalmaar to issue a directive to Wojira to eliminate the ninja. Wojira responded by launching Kalmaar into the air and subsequently devouring him.

Wojira shifted her focus towards the ninja, poised to eliminate them. Nevertheless, Nya, who had transformed into a Water Dragon, arrived. Wojira was swiftly apprehended by Nya, who forcefully seized her by the neck and hurled her against another building. However, Wojira quickly regained her composure and retaliated by forcefully slamming Nya against the police station. As Nya pivoted to initiate an offensive maneuver, Wojira seized the opportunity to launch an attack on the ninja, capitalizing on her momentary distraction. Nya grabbed Wojira by the horns and forcefully slammed her into another building. Wojira descended into the Endless Sea, only to emerge once again, having subdued Nya by ensnaring her with a grip. However, Nya managed to break free from the hold, prompting Wojira to use the power of Storm to repeatedly electrocute her. Ultimately, Wojira unleashed a beam of Storm and Water, obliterating Nya's physical form. Wojira then readied herself to destroy the ninja. However, Wojira witnessed the emergence of a distinct storm, which was attributed to Nya's actions. Nya made a forceful lunge toward Wojira, resulting in the destruction of the Wave Amulet. Momentary, Wojira was struck by Storm and subsequently disappeared. It is unknown what happened to her after that.

## Other appearances and mentions

At some point after the Battle of Nine Days, the Keepers came to worship Wojira, believing she protected them.

At some point two hundred years ago, Captain Soto learned of the mythical storm spirit Wojira and drew her on his map of the Endless Sea.

When Cole was six, a history teacher told him that Wojira had created the moon by crystallizing a bolt of lightning and placing it far above Ninjago.

At one point, Nya and Misako learned of the legend of Wojira. However, they believed that she was an ancient myth about a storm spirit instead of a serpent.

### Dead Man's Squall

When the *Destiny's Bounty* was in the Dead Man's Squall, Nya explained the legend to Jay, who believed it to be silly until the storm got louder. Later, Jay remarked, "Pray to Wohira!" in hopes it would calm down the storm, though this had no effect.

### Fire Maker

Wojira's existence was known and mentioned in other realms, notably the Never-Realm where an ancient passage was named in the Old Tongue after the titular spirit. Sorla would speak of her in superstition and warns Lloyd to be very quiet when progressing through the path, or else "Wojira will strike [him] down".

## Personality

Wojira is a creature of pure chaos and there is no evidence of even a hint of mercy in her personality. Her only goal is to cause mass destruction and nothing else. She is willing to achieve her goal by any means, especially if lives are at stake. Although Kalmaar had released her, she showed no sign of leniency and devoured him without mercy as soon as he lost control of her.

Under Kalmaar's rule, Wojira was obedient and obeyed his orders, but after the destruction of his trident, she became completely uncontrollable and even more dangerous because she began to destroy everything around her. If she was conscious during her voyage to Ninjago City with Kalmaar, she would most likely destroy *Mary Louise* and its crew.

As soon as she was awakened and conscious, her goal was to kill Glutinous immediately, although she was stopped by Kalmaar, who gained control of her. She was immediately going to kill the ninja and Benthomaar for no reason without being provoked, even though she was stopped by Nya. She seemed to indulge in suffering, as before she seemingly destroyed Nya in the form of a dragon, she repeatedly struck her with lightning to cause her suffering and weaken her. She also showed a certain amount of intelligence in the fight with Nya, using various tactics to defeat her, such as hiding in the water where she was not visible and then attacking.

## Abilities

*“It was a fierce battle. Wojira was too powerful.”*

— Benthomaar to the ninja in "Master of the Sea"

* **With the Amulets of Wojira**: Wojira was an extremely powerful being. The source of her power, was the two amulets which she wore upon her forehead.
	+ **With the Wave Amulet**: While possessing the Wave Amulet, Wojira was able to control the Endless Sea and possessed the power of Wave as a result. When at full strength, Wojira was able to flood the land.
	+ **With the Storm Amulet**: With the Storm Amulet, Wojira was able to control violent storms that would affect the Endless Sea. Unlike other users of Storm, who only used lightning, Wojira was also able to produce heavy rain and strong winds as well, this as a result let the Endless Sea rise above its normal level and gets pushed onto the shore. Because of this, Wojira obtained the power of Storm while in possession of the Storm Amulet.
	+ **Fury of the Storm**: When at full power, Wojira was able to use the Fury of the Storm, which consists of a storm surge involving her elements and water and lightning that she spewed from her mouth. Although it was described to be the combined powers of Water and Wind, it was also described to be the full power of Wave and Storm.
* **Swimming**: As a sea serpent, she is a very capable swimmer, although her journey to Ninjago took around twelve hours longer than Glutinous', despite to swimming from the same place.
* **Superhuman durability**: She is very resistant to the torpedoes from the mini submarines, while not even noticing shots. She is also resistant to the sub car's shots.

## Weaknesses

* **Removal of the Amulets of Wojira**: Her amulets also serve as her vulnerability as well. When the amulets are removed from her head, she falls asleep.
* **Control over Wojira**: By stabbing into the Wave Amulet (and presumably the Storm Amulet as well) with a weapon charged with energy, such as a trident's, the user can temporarily seize dominate control over Wojira, although they must continuously stab their weapons into the amulet(s) to keep controlllng Wojira. If the weapon ends up being destroyed, they will lose all control over the sea serpent.

## Appearance

*“Wojira is a huge snake, and she has these two holes on her head. And the amulets fit inside.”*

— Nya to the ninja, "The Storm Amulet"

Wojira is a huge sea serpent with black scales, although the underside from the mouth to the tail is sand-brown. She has light blue eyes, which were red under Kalmaar's rule. In the middle of her forehead are two holes in which her amulets are located. She has gold teeth and a black wattle on the underside of her mouth. From her head are two large golden horns divided into articles. There are also many bright blue growths resembling tentacles all over her body. On the sides of the body she has three large pairs of black fins with blue edging and spots. She also has two black fins at the end of her tail. It seems that when she slept she was much smaller and gradually grew to a huge size after being awakened.
