Elemental Monsters

For other uses, see Monsters (disambiguation).

“They are beings of rage and destruction, born from the imbalance of Source Energy, as manifested by the Weapon.”

— The Chief Loyalist to the other Loyalists, "The Whispering Wood"

Elemental Monsters (also known as Energy Monsters) were creatures made out of Elemental Energy, created from unstable Source Energy through the Weapon of Desolation. Each monster became a living embodiment of one Elemental Power or more.

The creatures were used as an army by Beatrix and the Loyalists in their assault on the City of Imperium to reclaim the throne, controlling them with the Weapon of Desolation. After Beatrix was defeated, Arin claimed the Weapon of Desolation, using it to call back the Elemental Monsters.

The ninja opted to destroy the Weapon of Desolation, thus neutralizing its ability to spawn Elemental Monsters by dropping it into the Abyss of Eternal Night. The Weapon of Desolation would end up possessing Zilvar, making him spawn a group of Elemental Monsters to prevent it from being destroyed until Lloyd stabilized the artifact to vanquish the Monsters before the weapon fell into the Abyss.

History

History[]

Background[]

The Elemental Monsters existed long before time had a name, when there were no Elemental Masters.^[1] They were born from the disruption of Source Energy linked to the Weapon of Desolation, and were driven solely by a desire for destruction. However, the First Spinjitzu Master neutralized the weapon with an incantation on the Tablet of Desolation, leading to the eventual defeat of the Elemental Monsters.

Dragons Rising, Season 4[]

Following the Battle of the Spectral Lands, the Source Dragons of Life, Strength, and Focus withdrew from the Council of Sources, causing the two fragments of the Weapon of Desolation to create Elemental Monsters across the Merged Lands, where they unleashed widespread devastation.^[3]^[4]^[5] Understanding the connection between the monsters and the Weapon of Desolation, Dr. LaRow commanded the Loyalists to locate the fragments so they could control the monsters, bolstering their efforts to assist Beatrix in her quest to reclaim the throne of Imperium.^[6]

As the Elemental Monsters began to spread throughout the Merged Lands, including Umbrasilvis, the City of Imperium, and the Crossroads, a handful ventured into the Whispering Wood. There, they encountered the ninja and Euphrasia, who struggled to use their Elemental Powers against them. However, using Life energy from the Trees of Life, Lloyd, Zane, Euphrasia, and Arin successfully managed to stop the monsters' rampage.^[4] Later, during Lloyd's Ritual of Unrooting, the Elemental Monsters attacked the Arc Dragon of Life and the Acona.^[7] Ultimately, after completing the trial and unlocking the Draconus Form, Lloyd defeated the Elemental Monsters in the Whispering Wood.^[8]

The Loyalists retrieved the two pieces and successfully combined them back into the Weapon of Desolation. Beatrix harnessed the weapon to command the Elemental Monsters, using them as her army as they advanced toward her former Kingdom of Imperium alongside the Loyalists.^[8] Under her control, the Elemental Monsters launched an attack on the city, overpowering its citizens and clashing with the ninja. However, Lloyd arrived to assist the heroes and stabilize their powers, allowing them to fight back against the Elemental Monsters. As Beatrix wielded the Weapon of Desolation to enhance her monsters, it began to control her. Through their connection to Lloyd, Nya, Kai, Jay, and Zane also went into Draconus Form to combat the Elemental Monsters. Lloyd managed to knock the Weapon from Beatrix's hands, causing the Elemental Monsters to turn on her. Ultimately, Arin took the Weapon of Desolation and deactivated it, causing the Elemental Monsters to vanish as they were drawn back into the artifact.^[9]

Trivia

Trivia[]

Lightning is the only one of the original ninja's elements to not receive a corresponding Elemental Monster.
- According to DuckBricks, there was one shown in the concept art of the June sets wave, but it was scrapped.^[11]
  - It's possible that, if the Earth Monsters aren't the only ones that embody more than one Elemental Power, Lightning could be embodied by another Elemental Monster.
Elemental Monsters are similar to elemental creations and Elemental Dragons, since all are entities made of Elemental Powers.
- Unlike elemental creations and Elemental Dragons, Elemental Monsters are created from imbalanced Source Energy.
The Fire and Ice Monsters curl up and launch in a similar manner to Propulsion. It has yet to be confirmed if it's a coincidence or confirmation.
The way Object Spinjitzu affects the Elemental Monsters has been inconsistent:
- In "A Wonder of the Merged Lands", Arin hits a Mutation Monster with Object Spinjitzu-infused rocks 6 times yet it did not disperse until Zane used his element on it.
- In "Just Under the Surface", Arin hits an Ice Monster with Object Spinjitzu-infused rocks 3 times and it disperses before causing a Mutation, Acid, and Earth Monster to all disperse with a single hit.
- In "Birthright", Arin hits a Mutation Monster with Object Spinjitzu-infused rocks yet it doesn't disperse like it did 4 episodes prior.
They share several similarities with the Stone Army:
- Both groups are creations that originated in ancient times until they were eventually defeated by the First Spinjitzu Master in some way.
- They are completely bound to obey the user of a specific artifact, with the Weapon of Desolation controlling the Elemental Monsters while the Helmet of Shadows controls the Stone Army.
- Both groups inadvertently resurfaced due to the aftermath of a previous season, initially causing chaos until said artifacts were reclaimed.
