Keepers

The **Keepers of the Storm Amulet of Wojira** (also referred to as the **Keepers of the Amulet** or simply **Keepers**) are an ancient native tribe of humanoid islanders that have storm powers and guard the Storm Amulet, which was given to them by the First Spinjitzu Master before the creation of Ninjago to protect the world from Wojira.

## Depictions in the Series

### Prior to Magical Potion Adventure

Before the creation of Ninjago, the First Spinjitzu Master entrusted the Keepers with protecting the Storm Amulet from Wojira and any outsider who would wish to steal it, and the Keepers kept the oath. Although, when the Keepers realized that Wojira was awake, they had no choice but to offer sacrifices to her so they can keep her submissive. Unbeknownst to them, they were actually offering gold and their resources to Ronin, who used a boat that resembled the sea serpent.

### Magical Potion Adventure

#### The Keepers of the Amulet

The Keepers were able to electrocute and capture the Ninja and take them to their village. The Keepers took them to their leader, Mammatus, who explained the history of the Storm Amulet and their sacred oath about protecting it. They were then sentenced to become their prisoners forever.

#### The Gift of Jay

The Keepers threw the ninja into a cell. When they tried to escape, they electrocuted them. Later on, they were being chased or were chasing Zippy, giving the ninja a way to escape. However, they were electrocuted again by the Keepers after Clutch Powers tried to steal the Storm Amulet. They were with Mammatus when they sacrificed Jay.

#### The Tooth of Wojira

After the ninja failed to rescue Jay, the Keepers confront them again and promised that they'll sacrifice them to Wojira if she returns. However, after realizing that they sacrificed Jay to a fake Wojira, they make amends with the ninja.
