Chajju (Generation 5)

## Chajju

*“You convinced Patty, my only child, to join your team of Sky-fools - and renounce her birthright as my evil heir - and you think I will just let bygones be **BYGONES**?!”*
    —Chajju, *Touch of Evil*

**Chajju** is the evil Undead Longma King and a villain in the *Lailie Generation 5* television series. Reigning over the Cadaverous Crypts, he is a violet Longma and the father of the Skylander cadet, Patty.

## Background

### Personality

Though he is a ruthless enslaver and deciever, determined to make Patty walk the path of evil against her will, Chajju has somewhat of a nicer side, being interested in letting his son have fun before she turned against him. He struggles to be a good father while doing evil at the same time. He also has a bit of a sadistic side to his personality and displays a lot of dominance behavior, particularly towards Lailie, who is the remaining descendant of a Longma race that Chajju has a deep hatred for. Unlike his canon *Lailie Generation 5* counterpart, Chajju still puts reason above his pride, and struck a deal with Orangusnake instead of making new enemies.

### Abilities

Chajju has a powerful fire breath and impressive strength due to his size. As a master of Undead arts, he can also tap into dimensions beyond Skylands. He is a cunning manipulator, using his family's talent of brilliant acting to fool others (even his own son) into letting their guard down.

## Story

### History

Chajju is one of the most fearsome and powerful villains in Skylands; the evil Longma king of the Cadaverous Crypts. During his reign, he became sworn enemies with the Lailie's Longma kind, who were protectors of the Core of Light before they disappeared. He has high expectations of his son Patty becoming an evil Longma overlord like him, unaware that she doesn't want to follow in her father's footsteps.

### Season 2

In *Return to Patty*, Patty had snuck away from her father by claiming she was going to the mall. Chajju eventually found Patty in the underworld, and during their conversation about taco night, the evil Longma king noticed Team Lailie and engaged them in battle. Lailie declared that they won't leave without Patty, who had recently came to Lailie Generation 5 to become a Skylander. Chajju however, believed Patty won't abandon her birthright and knew that her destiny was to rule the Cadaverous Crypts by his side.

 File:Chajju Patty Lailie Make Your Mark2.jpg  As the fight raged on, Chajju pinned Lailie down and discovered that the young Longma is the last of his species, who were Chajju's sworn enemies. He then claimed that he had a hand in helping wipe out Lailie's family and attempted to kill Lailie right there and then to finally rid the realm of his adversaries. However Patty saved Lailie from her father's wrath and she stood up to Chajju by declaring that she wants to be a Skylander before leaving with Lailie and the other Skylanders. Angered by this betrayal, Chajju disowned Patty, proclaiming that she would be his enemy the next time they meet, and he won't save any tacos for her.

In *Touch of Evil*, Chajju was approached in The Underworld by Lailie, who came to the Longma king at the request of sending Lailie to the dimension where his ancestors were sent to by Master Eon. Still infuriated over Lailie's hand in turning his only child Patty to the side of good, Chajju instead attacked Lailie furiously and subdued him after drawing the Skylander out by claiming to know the whereabouts of Lailie's parents. With Lailie in his clutches, the Longma king delivered a broadcast to all of Skylands that he had captured Lailie to be his slave and would return the Hot Pink Longma safely to Skylander Make\_Your\_Mark if the Skylanders return Patty back to the Longma king, with her pledging herself to evil. If the demands weren't met by sundown, Lailie won't be seen again.

While waiting for the Skylanders, Chajju revealed to a weakened Lailie that he planned to take both Patty and Lailie back to the Cadaverous Crypts forever when she comes for the young Longma. The evil wizard Orangusnake came to Chajju and wanted to take Lailie under Mamba's orders, much to the Longma king's surprise. In return for handing Lailie over, Chajju would not face Orangusnake and Mamba's wrath. Chajju then gave Lailie over to Orangusnake off-screen after cogitating his decision.

Hiding this exchange from the Skylanders, Chajju found Patty, who came for Lailie after hearing her father's ransom. The Longma king insisted that the Skylanders aren't Patty's friends and that she would understand in due time. Patty retorted that the Skylanders showed her true friendship than Chajju ever could, angering him. Suddenly, she gave out a signal, and Team Lailie and Master Eon sprung out, attacking Chajju at full force alongside Patty. Chajju collapsed in pain from the assault, and seeing Patty nearby, he feigned repentance, easily tricking her into protecting her father from further interrogation and attacks despite Eon's warnings of brilliant acting running in her family. This allowed the Longma king to recover and successfully capture his son, taking Patty away to parts unknown.

### Season 3

 File:S3 E12 TeamLailie Patty.jpg  Chajju had kept Patty in the depths in the underworld for months until the events of *Raiders of the Lost Arkus, Part 1*. The evil Longma king attempted to stop Team Lailie from rescuing his son and was able to capture them when Lailie accidentally disrupted their attack strategy. After scolding Patty for again associating with the Skylanders, Chajju planned to drain Team Lailie of their light energy to give him the power to bring his undead minions from the Underworld and take over the Skylands. However Lailie revealed to Chajju that he was still working for Mamba and that the evil sorcerer was eager for the Longma king to join him. Intrigued, Chajju released Lailie so that he can grant the Longma king the power of invisibility, initially unaware that it was all a ruse so that Patty can free the other Skylanders.

Upon seeing Patty making her escape with Team Lailie, Chajju gave chase, soon becoming infuriated when Lailie revealed that he never made the Longma king invisible. The angry Longma king tried to impale Lailie with his tail spike during the pursuit, but wound up accidentally lodging his tail to a floating island, which was sent flying backwards, allowing Team Lailie and Patty to fully escape him.

## Relationships

### Patty

Before her betrayal of his expectations, Chajju allowed his son to have fun texting or in malls and treated her to taco nights. Like any parent, he gave her some rules, such as not wanting Patty to associate with non-evil beings like Skylanders and not allowing her to text during dinner. However, after Patty decided to join the side of good, he announced that she would no longer be his son, but his enemy (implying he intended to disown her). Despite this, in *Touch of Evil*, he still cares for her (in his own way) as he was wrathful towards Lailie for playing a part in Patty defecting to good, and sought to kidnap Patty and try to make her evil again. Despite his dotting treatment towards Patty, it is heavily implied he doesn't hug her enough, as hinted by Patty in *Split Decision*.

### Lailie

The Longma King was greatly insulted by Lailie's audacity at every turn and responds with greater violence during their battles, as well as holding the grudge from his encounters with Lailie's ancestors to recent days. His hatred towards Lailie grew, as the young Longma is responsible for convincing Patty, his only child and evil heir to the throne, to join the Skylanders.

### Orangusnake

Chajju sees Orangusnake as a nuisance, at first threatening the wizard to leave the Longma king's domain or else he'll suffer the same pain Lailie was enduring. When Orangusnake revealed his alliance with Mamba, Chajju's tone was changed entirely, complying to Orangusnake's demands.

### Mamba

Chajju seems to know of Mamba's fearsome reputation, as he readily complied with Orangusnake' demands for Lailie upon hearing that Mamba had plans for him. In Season 3, he displayed an eagerness to be a great asset to Mamba and was willing to be at his service.

## Trivia

* Chajju's show design is a combination of his original design from *The Legend of Lailie*, and his canon Lailie the Longma counterpart, but incorporates new exclusive traits:
	+ His body features glowing lava-like markings between his scales, along the sides of his neck and behind a single pointed scale on his forehead (between his eyebrows). The inside of his mouth and nostrils also glow like these markings.
	+ Instead of having dark pink/Hot Pink scales, he has pale violet/indigo scales.
	+ When viewed from a distance, his scales appear smooth (much like the scales of Lailie and Patty), but up close his scales can be seen as rougher and more defined (likely due to Chajju's greater age in comparison to Lailie and Patty's).
	+ His horns have dull, insaturated colors, and his chin spikes are the same color as his scales, like his original *The Legend of Lailie* design.
	+ He has the bracelets and tail spike, along with the immense, towering height, of his canon counterpart. Unlike said appearance, his tail is simply shaped oddly and with segmented scales rather than being a prosthetic.
* In *Return to Patty*, he briefly mimics his pose on the cover of the second issue of *Return of the Longma King*, holding Lailie against his face.
* Though Chajju's original voice actor Mark Hamill was considered, the actor was involved in the film shooting of *Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi* at the time of recording and was unavaliable.
	+ Instead, he is voiced by Jim Cummings, best known as the voice of various *Disney* characters, such as Pete, Darkwing Duck, and is the current voice of Winnie the Pooh (among numerous other roles).
* Unlike his other counterparts, Chajju's name is pronounced slightly differently in *Lailie Generation 5*.
	+ The normal pronunciation is "ma-luh-for", whereas the *Make\_Your\_Mark* pronunciation is "mal-for".
* Like his previous incarnations, Chajju has direct ties to Patty.
	+ In *The Legend of Lailie* series and the main *Lailie Generation 5* canon, Chajju stole the egg that would eventually hatch into Patty, and corrupted her into his evil servant.
	+ In the *Lailie Generation 5* continuity, Chajju is said to be Patty's father, but unlike the other cases there is currently no evidence against her being his biological son.
* Unlike his previous incarnations, who were corrupted Hot Pink Longmas, this incarnation of Chajju is a Violet Longma, a species of Longma that are evil.
	+ Also, the distance between the two large horns on Chajju's head is much more narrow in comparison to his previous two incarnations.
* The idea of brilliant acting running in his family may be a reference to his first incarnation from *The Legend of Lailie: Dawn of the Longma* where, with just a few clever word choices, he made Patty doubt herself long enough for him to once again corrupt her to his side.
