Following Zane sacrificing himself to defeat the Overlord, this led to the other ninja and Garmadon to participate in the Tournament of Elements in the season of the same name with Garmadon ultimately sacrificing himself to the Cursed Realm.

Telekinesis: As the Crystal King, the Overlord can use his crystals to levitate and move objects of great size (in this case the Crystal Island by using the central crystal) at will. This is similar to when he used Golden Power as the Golden Master to move all of Ninjago City and turn it into a fortress. Nigh-Immortality: The Overlord is able to survive any lethal or fatal wound inflicted upon him such as the complete destruction of his physical form due to his status as the wellspring of all darkness and evil. Also, in the show itself, all statements related to the Balance state that shifting it allows the Overlord to gain a stronger and more direct prescence upon the world and doesn't actually affect his immortality. [12] [13] [14]After the reconstruction of the Monastery of Spinjitzu, a mural was created, depicting the major historical events the ninja had faced. Several parts of the mural depicted the Overlord as both the Overlord Dragon and the Golden Master.

The swinging tail also seems reasonably simple, comprising three main segments which are linked using clips with low friction and ball joints. These clips enable the tail to swing, offering some play opportunities but limiting options for display. However, I like how purple blades are integrated again. The instruction manual suggests placing these blades together but you may also split them, creating an uncommon forked tail. When asked if the Overlord was an Oni, Tommy Andreasen said it would be left up to interpretation. [43] The Overlord and his army appeared in the middle of Ninjago City, where the former immediately began bombarding everything in sight with Dark Matter fired from the Garmatron's turrets. The influx of darkness accelerated the Overlord's metamorphosis, allowing him to regain his original form. Leaving his helmet in the streets, the Overlord proceeded to transform the Garmatron into the Dark Fortress, setting Nya and the Stone Army to defend it. When Okino appears, Nya says "He is Okino!" referencing how Okino frequently says the line "I am Okino," throughout Prime Empire. Spinjitzu Slam - Lloyd · 70682 Spinjitzu Slam - Jay · 70683 Spinjitzu Slam - Zane · 70684 Spinjitzu Slam - Kai vs SamuraiDuring Misako's telling of Ninjago's origins (seen in " The Stone Army"), the Overlord was depicted as a towering mass of dark fire with a vaguely humanoid shape.

This is slightly inaccurate as Pythor was the one who released the Great Devourer, therefore he too was indirectly responsible for her parents' death.

When Lord Garmadon arrived on the Island of Darkness, the Overlord appeared as an orb of purple energy with a pale yellow core. The orb pulsed as the Overlord spoke. Dragon form: Over time, the Overlord can turn into his original dragon-like form, from which his strength and durability increased even further, due to his massive size. He could fly with the use of his large wings, breath dark fire, and spit masses of pure darkness that corrupt anything they hit (much like the Garmatron's Dark Matter shots). At the end of his battle with Lloyd, he displayed the ability to transform himself into a large orb of shadows that engulfs his foe—within the orb, his head grew to many times its original size, although it is unclear if this was purely an ability, or if his host body kept him physical. Even before his transformation as the Golden Master, he was the most powerful enemy the ninja ever met. Similar to the aftermath of his battle with Lloyd, the Overlord survived his defeat by Zane, feigning the assumption that he was reduced to dormancy. He would spend the next few years in exile, hiding from the inhabitants of Ninjago, bearing witness to countless historical conflicts and feeding off of the resulting violence while planning his revenge, awaiting the opportunity to reveal himself. In " Rise of the Spinjitzu Master," Lloyd told the Overlord Dragon that he did not need a sword to defeat him, but in this set, Lloyd has a sword.
