**LEGO Ninjago & My Little Pony: Masters of Friendship** is a new crossover series of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The series is based on Hasbro's My Little Pony line of toys and animated works and is often referred by collectors to be the fourth generation, or "G4", of the My Little Pony franchise and the first generation of LEGO Ninjago franchise.

The series follows a pony named Twilight Sparkle as she learns about friendship in the town of Ponyville, and in another realm, Ninjago, Realm with East Asian legends. Twilight continues to learn with her close friends Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. Her love interest, Lloyd Garmadon, teams Together with new friends, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, and Nya. Each represents a different element of friendship, and Twilight discovers herself to be a key part of the magical artifacts, the "Elements of Harmony" and the "Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu". The ponies and the Ninja share adventures and help out other residents of both Ninjago and Equestria, while working out the troublesome moments in their own friendships. The series was divided into four arcs, the Rise of the Overlord arc, the Sixteen Realms arc, the Oni and Dragons arc and the Forbidden Spinjitzu arc.

## Development and Production

In the year 2009, LEGO proposed to make a series about ninja, deciding that there would be four ninjas with elemental powers. Later, Tommy Andreasen and Thomas Fenger created the martial art of Spinjitzu.

The series was developed by Lauren Faust for Hasbro as a reboot of the My Little Pony franchise. Faust was pitching her own Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls toy line and animated television series to Hasbro Studios' executive Lisa Licht, when Licht asked her to come up with a new version of the My Little Pony franchise. Development started in 2008, with production of the first season spanning through 2009.Jayson Thiessen storyboarded and animated a two-minute short for the approval of Faust and Hasbro. In the animated short used during early development, Tara Strong voiced Pinkie Pie. The show's primary audience is girls 4-12 years old, and Faust designed the show so parents can enjoy watching it with their daughters.The series has generated a cult following among adults. Fiscal reports by DHX Media suggest that DHX Media received around 6 million Canadian dollars a year for the production of the first three seasons of the show.

After being freed, he united his fellow Serpentine and unleashed the Great Devourer on Ninjago. However, the scheme backfired horribly and Pythor became one of the beast's first victims, along with Master Wu. Long thought to be deceased, Pythor suddenly resurfaced during the Nindroid war, allying with the Digital Overlord to seek revenge on the Ninja. Once again, his schemes were foiled after he was shrunken by a shrinking pill and the Golden Master was destroyed. Afterward, he was sent to Kryptarium Prison. After the spell was cast and Chen's army was vanquished, Arcturus restored Pythor to his original size. Pythor then parted ways on understanding terms with the Ninja.

Shortly after Zane's demise and resurrection, Chen had him kidnapped and organized the Tournament of Elements as a guise to steal the powers of the Elemental Masters, so he could perform a spell that would turn his followers into Anacondrai. This plan eventually succeeded, but their mission to destroy Ninjago was thwarted when Chen's former pupil, Garmadon, unleashed the original Anacondrai generals from the Cursed Realm.

* **Morro**: Main antagonist of the fifth season. He was an Elemental Master of Wind, who believed he was destined to be the Green Ninja. Found by Master Wu when he was a child and trained as his master's first student, he became determined to prove destiny wrong after the Golden Weapons didn't choose him as the fabled savior. After leaving Wu in search of his destiny, Morro perished in the Caves of Despair while searching for the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master, and his spirit was banished to the Cursed Realm, as a result of his previous actions. At the end of the Second Serpentine War, Morro had escaped from his imprisonment when Garmadon was banished to the Cursed Realm. Intending to find the Realm Crystal hidden in the First Spinjitzu Master's tomb, Morro possessed Lloyd Garmadon, as only a Spinjitzu Master could locate the tomb. He then embarked on a quest, during which he used the Allied Armor of Azure to conjure his allies from the Cursed Realm at will. After a long journey, Morro abandoned Lloyd's body and obtained the Crystal, and freed his master in an effort to curse the Sixteen Realms. With the Preeminent in Ninjago, Morro fought Lloyd in a battle that traversed through various realms. When Nya unlocked her True Potential and incapacitated the beast, Morro was seized by one of its tentacles. Desperately, Wu attempted to save him, but Morro ultimately realized that he was beyond saving, prompting him to give Wu the Crystal before letting go of his hand, and falling into the sea and dissolving. Months after his death, a statue of Morro was placed in the Ninjago Museum of History as part of the new Hall of Villainy exhibit. When Cole (lured by Yang) accidentally opened the Departed Realm using the Yin Blade, Morro's spirit escaped the realm and possessed the statue in the museum, resurrecting him once more. Upon hearing Yang's plan to have the other revived villains exact vengeance on their arch enemies, Morro set off to find Wu but rather than fight him, he instead told him of what was happening. Morro and Wu reunited with the ninja in the city, with the ninja heading for the Temple of Airjitzu while Morro's spirit peacefully returned to the Departed Realm of his own will after making amends with his master.
* **Starlight Glimmer**: Main antagonist of the fifth season. She is a unicorn who runs a town where all ponies have equal-sign cutie marks. After her first defeat, she returns for revenge against Twilight Sparkle and travels back in time to prevent Rainbow Dash's sonic rainboom, creating an alternate timeline.

* **The Preeminent**: Overarching antagonist of the fifth season. She was an eldritch horror who was the embodiment, and thus the ruler of the Cursed Realm. She was stuck in an alternate dimension and was the master of the Ghost Warriors. One ghost, Morro, was her general, and his goal was to retrieve the Realm Crystal from the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master and use it in her arrival to curse all Sixteen Realms, including Ninjago and Equestria. After Morro claimed the Realm Crystal, the Preeminent emerged into Stiix and began terrorizing the city. The Ninja were hopeless to stop the Preeminent, even through the use of their new vehicles. Wu had the citizens of Stiix flee the city on a steamboat, prompting the ghosts to attach buildings to the Preeminent's body and create a giant walking suit, enabling her to move around. When Nya unlocked her True Potential, she created a giant tidal wave that drowned the Preeminent and destroyed the Cursed Realm, killing all those (except Clouse) inside. Later, following the Ninja and the Mane Five's journey to the Never-Realm to rescue Fluttershy, the Young Six attempt to open a gateway for them to return through using a special Traveler's Tea recipe. However, they're unable to successfully open a portal to the Never-Realm, inadvertently opening other realms, one being the Departed Realm, allowing the Preeminent to force her way back to the world of the living and rampage through Ninjago City. The Young Six, with the help of DJ-Pon 3 and Octavia Melody entered the "Kaiju Protocol," engaging the beast in battle, ultimately concluding in them nearly sacrificing themselves to absorb enough energy to defeat the monster, allowing the Young Six to return her to the Departed Realm.
* **Principal Cinch**: Main antagonist of the fifth season. She is the former headmistress of Crystal Prep Academy. She takes pride in her students and reputation, especially the awards that her school receives when winning the Friendship Games, and largely considers their legacy of winning her own. She also considers the human Twilight Sparkle her most prized student because of her test grades. Cinch demands that Principal Celestia forfeit the Friendship Games, citing Canterlot High's unfair advantage of using magic. However, the Shadowbolts turn on their principal and blame her for Twilight's wicked transformation. Cinch says that she plans to report the incident to the school board, but Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, and Dean Cadance inform her that no one would believe her story. In an effort to save face, she leaves the school with calm dignity.
* **Midnight Sparkle**: Main antagonist of the fifth season and a secondary antagonist in Day of the Departed.

Soto trapped him in the Teapot of Tyrahn while his crew was marooned across the Sixteen Realms. Centuries later, upon the destruction of Djinjago, Nadakhan became the last of the Djinn. Shortly after the Battle of Stiix, Nadakhan was freed by Clouse; he set off to claim the Realm Crystal and reunite his crew. After learning of his lover's demise, and seeing the destruction of Djinjago as a result of the Ninjas' actions, Nadakhan's father gave him a mystical sword to capture the souls of his adversaries and tear Ninjago apart to rebuild Djinjago. In addition to this, he planned to marry Nya so he can grant himself unlimited wishes. Nadakhan's crew refurbished Misfortune's Keep and began rebuilding Djinjago in a series of landmasses above Ninjago City. In the ensuing conflict, Nadakhan captured Nya and trapped the Ninjas' souls in the sword. Nadakhan completed New Djinjago, and after he and Nya were married, he betrayed his crew. During a final fight with the Ninja, Flintlocke incapacitated Nadakhan with Tiger Widow venom, though the venom accidentally struck and killed Nya. As a result, Jay made his final wish, which was that recent events had not transpired and Nadakhan was never freed from the teapot. In The Beginning of the End, he was recruited into a league of villains by the Omega and Grogar.

Many years later, the Ninja later traveled to Yang's haunted Temple to claim the Scroll of Airjitzu, but they were tormented by Yang. During their escape, Cole was turned into a ghost. Some time later, as Nadakhan rebuilt his home realm, Yang's Temple was lifted into the sky and cleansed with water—forcing him and his students to flee. After Jay made his final wish, recent events were undone, but due to an anomaly, the Temple remained floating in the sky. On the Day of the Departed, Yang intended to revive the Ninjas' old enemies and use them as a distraction while resurrecting himself through the Rift of Return. As the Ninja fought their adversaries, Yang opened the Rift while Cole fought his students. Cole would eventually confront Yang and destroy the Yin Blade, allowing Yang's students to cross through the Rift. Yang admitted his arrogant desire to live forever, allowing him and Cole to make amends. However, Yang refused to cross through the Rift, as someone had to be the master of the Temple and ultimately pushed Cole into the Rift. After the Rift closed, Yang remained in his Temple, which was now purified.

For years, she sought vengeance against the Ninja for allowing her parents' deaths, and she admired the Overlord, who created the Great Devourer himself. After sabotaging the Ninjas' plans, she and her true allies seized the three Oni Masks and used them to resurrect the Overlord as a more powerful incarnation of his former self. After the ritual supposedly failed, Harumi was subsequently arrested, but her act was successful and the Overlord was revived. The Dark Lord freed her and the rest of her allies from prison. She watched as the Overlord fought and defeated Lloyd in Kryptarium Prison, after which he created the Colossus. Harumi pursued Lloyd and a young Wu, who was presumably killed with the original Ninja and the four Alicorns, after Destiny's Bounty was destroyed. Harumi served the Overlord as he ruled Ninjago and Equestria, often running missions for him to help hunt down Lloyd's Resistance. When a mental battle broke out for the Colossus between Skylor and the Overlord, Harumi saved a family from suffering the same fate as hers. Harumi ultimately perished when the Colossus struck the building she was in, causing it to collapse.
* **Iron Baron**: Main antagonist of the ninth season and one of the fourteen main antagonists in the Season 10 near-finale "The Ending of the End". He is the former leader of the Dragon Hunters, having a peg leg and bionic arm. He had spent his life hunting the elusive Firstbourne, leading the Dragon Hunters through fear and lies, even forcing the female Hunter Faith to pretend to be a male under the guise of Heavy Metal. Eventually, his rule came to an end, as the Firstbourne encased him in molten rock. In The Beginning of the End, he was recruited into a league of villains by the Omega and Grogar. In The Ending of the End, he, along the Legion of Doom, use Grogar's Bewitching Bell to make themselves all-powerful and take over Ninjago and Equestria, but they are defeated by the Ninja, the Mane Six and their allies.
* **Cozy Glow**: Main antagonist of the ninth season and one of the fourteen main antagonists in the Season 10 near-finale "The Ending of the End". She is a Pegasus filly who first appears in "True Potential" enrolling in Twilight's School of Friendship. Later, with the help of Tirek, she traps the Mane Six in Tartarus, captures Starlight Glimmer, and steals all magic in Equestria in a plan to take it over. She is defeated by the Young Six and the magic of the Tree of Harmony. In The Beginning of the End, she is recruited into Grogar's league of villains. In The Ending of the End, she, along the Legion of Doom, use Grogar's Bewitching Bell to make themselves all-powerful and take over Ninjago and Equestria, but they are defeated by the Ninja, the Mane Six and their allies.
* **The Omega**: Main antagonist of the tenth season and one of the fourteen main antagonists in the season near-finale "The Ending of the End". He is is the leader of the Oni and the Legion of Doom. He wields a Staff and seeks to erase Creation from all the Sixteen Realms, and blanket all of existence in Destruction. He and his Oni were defeated by Wu, Garmadon, Morro, the Overlord and the Ninjas' Tornado of Creation and and the creatures of Equestria's magic of friendship.
* **Aspheera**: Main antagonist of the eleventh season's Fire Chapter. She is the leader of the Pyro Vipers and a Serpentine sorceress. In her youth, she forged a friendship with a young Wu in a bid to learn Spinjitzu and secretly overthrow Mambo the Fifth. After Wu used Forbidden Spinjitzu to defeat her, Aspheera was imprisoned in the Ancient Pyramid for a millennium, after which she was accidentally freed by the Ninja and the Mane Six. She promptly stole Kai's element, allowing her to reignite her forces. Immediately, Aspheera swore revenge on Wu and sieged Ninjago City and Equestria with a legion of Pyro Vipers and Elemental Cobras. Eventually, her rampage reached the Samurai X Cave, where she attacked Wu and the Ninja. Using the second Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu, the Ninja were able to incapacitate Aspheera - but not before she banished Fluttershy to the Never-Realm. Aspheera is currently incarcerated in Kryptarium Prison. She got reformed by the Ninja and the Mane Six, and becomes the magic teacher at the School of Friendship.
* **Vex the Formless**: Main antagonist of the eleventh season's Ice Chapter. He is the former general of the Blizzard Samurai and a Formling who did not find his animal form. Due to this, he left the village, and after years of traveling in the wilderness, he eventually found Princess Luna, Cloning Zane and the Forbidden scroll. As of which, he stole the Alicorn magic from Luna and creates two Celestial orbs, that eventually create two foals, Snowblossom and Seaspark. After which, he wants to take care of his children, until the Titan Mech landed here. When Princess Luna asked Cloning Zane attempted to reboot the Titan Mech, Vex pulled the plug and his clone form lost his memories. Vex manipulated Cloning Zane into thinking that he was his loyal advisor and told him to conquer the Never-Realm. With the help of his "new partner," he got revenge by freezing the Formlings and plunged his realm into subjugation, in which, they both capture Princess Luna and Fluttershy, which is later revealed as Flutterfrost. Sometime after the Dazzlings came to the realm, they reunite with Vex, as they encounter a past that Vex tries to free the Dazzlings from the prison. When Vex attempted to kill both Twilight and Snowblossom, this caused Flutterfrost to regain her memories and restore back to normal, and freeze Vex. They defeat him, the Ice Emperor, the Dazzlings and the Blizzard Samurai to the Ice Capsule, where it locked forever. After they left to Ninjago and Equestria, the Dazzlings free Vex and the Blizzard Samurai and eventually made their way to Equestria to subjugate as revenge. However, his second defeat with the Dazzlings and Daybreaker is overwhelmed by the creatures of the Sixteen Realm's Magic of Friendship. Not long after, Vex was recognized as the true tyrant of the realm, so Celestia and Luna banished Vex to Limbo, where he will never return.
