Instructions for the model[]

Main article: Mutation Monster (set)

A large monstrous form of the Mutation Monster was requested by the animation studio to the set designers. It appears in Season 4 but its brick built design didn't find its way into the sets.^[1][2] However, the model was designed by Chi Wing Lee and unofficial instructions of the model made by LegendsOfNinjago were distributed to the fans through Ninjago Wiki's official friend, Masters of Brickjitzu.

Trivia[]

• In a set interview, when asked if the Mutation Monsters were meant to represent Life as a mutated Elemental Power, Chi Wing Lee acknowledged that while this concept was the idea, it is actually hard to assert definitively, given the existence of other elements. For instance, the Mutation Monsters could also be interpreted as representing Poison.^[3]
• The name "Mutation Monster" was chosen because "Life Monster" did not seem fitting to the concept of the Elemental Monsters.^[3]
• They wear the same hat as Rox and Kur.
• Their color scheme and eye design share similarities with the Queen of Monsters.
• They are the first Ninjago characters to use the larger head mold, which was originally designed for big figures.
• In one shot it seems they have no legs in the show, however, this could be simply due to animation restrictions as characters like Zarkt also don't have legs under their skirt, although his bottom is solid while the Mutation Monsters have nothing underneath their cloth.
