Etymology[]

Leo, in the context of Astrology, is closely associated with "fixed" form, stability, and structure, which is ironic, considering that as the Master of Form, he is able to change his outward appearance.

Trivia[]

• Before his name and element were revealed, there were several comments about Leo:
  • According to Tommy Andreasen, he is most likely the Master of Form taking on an appearance.^[2]
    • The character could be female, having shapeshifted into a male appearance in the scenes that are shown.^[3]
    • Not long after this, he seemed to reinforce this idea, saying, "Here is a clue: It may be someone who is not quite like it seems."^[4]
  • Earlier, Andreasen said "I can't reveal who it is ... But it's pretty clever."^[5] When asked if it would be revealed in The Hands of Time or later, he said "Watch closely! Depends in the execution of the script."^[6] He later said the character's identity will be revealed when the time is right.^[7] He also said, regarding his past comment about Form, there is "No definitive answer ... most likely ... maybe ... maybe not."^[8]
  • Much like Chamille, Leo's name may be a reference to chameleons.
• Leo is absent from most of Season 7's flashbacks, specifically not appearing in the Monastery of Spinjitzu and the Battle for All Time in "The Hatching" and "Lost in Time" respectively.
  • However, he appears in a painting in the Ninjago Museum of History, which depicts the battle.
  • He also appears for a brief scene in the woods during Pause and Effect.
• He was the first Elemental Master besides Lloyd to be shown riding an Elemental Dragon.
  • However, chronologically, he is the first Elemental Master to be shown riding a dragon.
• Leo shares many physical characteristics with other characters from Ninjago and other LEGO themes:
  • He has the same hair piece as the Repo Man and Scar the Skullbreaker, which was introduced on Thorin, Fíli, and Kíli in the LEGO The Hobbit theme.
  • His face design is nearly identical to that of Ash, the only difference being that his eyebrows are a dark tan color while Ash's are black.
    • Both characters used the face lines originating on a City face print.
  • His torso design is based on that of Coleman Trebor from LEGO Star Wars, also used as the basis for the torsos of Neuro, Libber, and the gray kabuki.
  • The design on his legs resembles that of Dareth's original outfit and Libber's suit, as all of their legs design were based on the King in 7946 King's Castle, a LEGO Kingdoms set.
    • His overal suit share the same design with Libber's exept for the colors.
