Tox

History

History[]

Background[]

Tox was born as the descendant of the previous Elemental Master of Poison. At some point, she unlocked her True Potential.^[1] Eventually she received an invitation to Master Chen's Tournament of Elements

Tournament of Elements[]

The Invitation[]

Tox was one of those invited to participate in the Tournament of Elements. She accepted and met the other Elemental Masters on the New Ninjago City pier at midnight where she was picked up by Clouse to be taken to Chen's Island.

Only One Can Remain[]

Once on the Island, Tox was present at Chen's opening ceremony and was then escorted to her suite by the Kabuki. Once the first challenge began, she fought the other Masters for a Jadeblade. Tox was able to find one, thus securing her place in the next round of the Tournament.

Versus[]

The next morning, Tox ate breakfast in the Chow House with Ash and Neuro, then later observed the three battles that took place throughout the day. She was present near the bracket board when Jay and Cole discovered they had to fight each other, and witnessed that fight as well.

Ninja Roll[]

The next day, Tox observed Skylor defeat Jacob, though soon became outraged at the ninja when they learned that because of Jay and Cole's ignorance, all of the Masters would be forced to sleep in the Chow House instead of their fancy rooms.

In the middle of the night, Tox and the other Masters were woken by Clouse and given skates. They were taken to the royal arena for the thunderblade event, and Chen explained that the other Masters could help or hurt either of the two fighters—Lloyd and Chamille. Still angered about losing their room and treasure, Tox quickly sided with Chamille and the other Masters. At one point during the event, Tox created a poison cloud on the track to stop Lloyd, though the Green Ninja was able to skate around it and Kai ended up being its victim instead. Jay would later get back at her by pushing her off the track.

Later in the match, several of the Masters joined Lloyd's side after they learn Chen's spell, but Tox was shoved out of the way by Neuro while the ninja explained, and thus continued to try and stop Lloyd. Her attempts were thwarted by Griffin Turner, and when Chamille was eliminated for losing, Tox did not join in the other Masters' celebration.

Spy for a Spy[]

For the final fight of the first round, Tox competed against Shade and lost. She was stripped of her elemental power and taken to work in the noodle factory.

Spellbound[]

After the Factory was put on lockdown, Tox and the other imprisoned Masters gathered beside Cole as Zane explained their proposed escape plan. After agreeing to build a Roto Jet, Tox went to look for machine parts.

Breakout![]

After Dareth was sent to the noodle factory, thus ruining their plan to escape via the sewer network, Tox suggested that they fight their way out but her idea was quickly overruled.

The Forgotten Element[]

After Zugu discovered the Roto Jet, Tox and the other Elemental Masters rushed over to help push it out of the Factory as it was yet unable to fly. They steered the flightless aircraft to the prison cell where they freed Nya and Garmadon before continuing on to the Anacondrai Temple. There, they confronted Chen's army and their powers were soon restored as Kai destroyed the Staff of Elements.

Later, after the Masters secured the Island, Tox laughed with the ninja as Zane activated his humor switch showing all past rivalries gone.

The Day of the Dragon[]

When the Anacondrai warriors were transformed into Anacondrai, Tox used her poison cloud in an attempt to stop them, but eventually was forced to retreat into the palace. She managed to unlock her Elemental Dragon soon after to fly back to New Ninjago City.

The Greatest Fear of All[]

Tox used her Poison Dragon to fly back to Ninjago where she and the other Masters found that Chen hadn't invaded. At Lloyd's order, she watched over the city with the other Masters.

The Elemental Masters prepare to confront Chen.

When twenty noodle trucks began heading out, Tox and the rest of the masters prepared to engage them, only to find the trucks heading in various directions to presumably attack the villages. Tox pursued one of them, only to find it empty. Like many others, Tox lost control of her dragon out of fear which was part of Chen's plan to invade without a problem.

The Corridor of Elders[]

After receiving a message from Neuro, Tox met up with the other Masters in the Samurai X Cave. There, they decided to make their stand against Chen's army in the Corridor of Elders.

During the ensuing battle, Tox fought bravely against the imposter Anacondrai, before watching them being banished to the Cursed Realm by the spirits of the Anacondrai generals and celebrated with the other Masters when victory was achieved before returning to her home.

Skybound[]

The following events were undone due to Jay's final wish, and thus, did not happen in the current timeline.

At one point, Nadakhan imprisoned Tox in the Djinn Blade with the other Elemental Masters.^[2]

The following events occurred after Jay made his final wish, and thus, happened.

Hunted[]

Iron & Stone[]

When the Resistance returned to the garbage depot, Tox said they need an army, but Skylor tried to calm them by telling them they can build whatever they need.

Radio Free Ninjago[]

Tox was with the others in the Resistance at the garbage depot.

How to Build a Dragon[]

The Resistance celebrated Lloyd's speech. They started planning on who else they could recruit to help them.

The Gilded Path[]

When the Sons of Garmadon attacked the garbage depot, the Resistance fought them. They were eventually taken to Kryptarium Prison.

Two Lies, One Truth[]

Tox was captured by the Sons of Garmadon and was placed inside Kryptarium Prison.

Green Destiny[]

While in her cell, Tox overhears the guards saying the ninja have returned, which they're happy to hear. After Griffin Turner opens the cell, Tox breaks free from their cell along with the other inmates and form a riot against the guards, before they escape the prison and head for the city.

Tox makes it back to Ninjago City, where she helped bring down the Colossus along with the people of Ninjago.

When the ninja celebrate for their victory, Tox was with the audience cheering on her allies.

After the Merge[]

Following the unification of the realms, Tox moved to the Crossroads.

Dragons Rising, Season 2[]

Enter the City of Temples[]

Tox admires a plant, only for it to wither due to her powers. She then receives an invitation to the Tournament of the Sources.

They Gather for the Feast[]

Tox talks to Mr. Pale before they're spotted by Nya, who compliments Tox's hairstyle. When Lloyd, Ras, and Zur were almost assassinated, Tox identified the weapons used as a plant from the Mother Garden, seemingly making Zant-Tanz, the Master of Plants, the culprit.

Truth and Lies[]

Tox went up against Nokt in a match, where the objective was to score a ball into the opponent's hoop. However, Nokt launched a fierce assault on Tox, repeatedly using Shatterspin. As a result of the relentless attacks, Tox sustained injuries that prevented her from continuing the competition, leading to Nokt being declared the winner by default. Following the match, the ninja assisted in placing Tox on a stretcher, and she eventually recovered from her injuries.

The Final Game[]

Tox watched in surprise when Wyldfyre arrived with Zur to expose Bleckt after Nokt defeated Sora.

Elements of Betrayal[]

Tox can be seen fighting alongside several other Elemental Masters against Cinder and the Wolf Mask Warriors in hand-to-hand combat. She later got her powers back when Roby drained Nokt of the stolen elemental powers and defeated the Wolf Clan. She later watched Roby declare Sora the default winner of the tournament and was thanked by Sora with Euphrasia.
