His master[]
Ras communicating with his master
When he was still a child, Ras was saved by an unknown entity who took him in. From this being, with whom Ras can communicate telepathically, he learned the life philosophy that strength is the most important thing. Once an adult, Ras dedicated his life to fulfilling his master's plans at any cost. Together, they want to create Dragon Icons for every one of the Source Dragons, summon them into the mortal world and force them to reverse the Merge, saving Ras' people in the process.
Students
Students[]
Jordana (formerly)[]
Ras recruiting Jordana
Prior to Ras being stripped of his position in the Claws of Imperium, the nature of his relationship with Jordana remained unknown. However, Ras praised Jordana due to her remarkable achievement of draining a Source Dragon, an act that was previously deemed impossible. Ras' master was greatly impressed by Jordana's accomplishments, leading Ras to recruit her for their joint mission of conquering the Merged Realms. Jordana willingly accepted Ras' offer.
Ras and Jordana opening the Shadow Dojo
After opening the Shadow Dojo, Ras entrusted Jordana with the task of learning Theroxian magic from ancient scrolls. He was satisfied with her work, although later she displeased him after being incompetent to retrieve the spell and to release all the Forbidden Five during the Ritual of the Blood Moon. However, Jordana remained a trustworthy person in Ras' eyes, to whom he continued to confide about his plans, notably during the Tournament of the Sources, being unaware she was possessed by Rox at this time.
Cinder (formerly)[]
Ras watching Cinder's training
Ras had found a valuable new ally in Cinder, who was dedicated to following all of his commands during their meetings. Not only did Cinder bring the Mallet of Shattering to Ras and aid in defeating the ninja in the Cloud Kingdom, but also practiced Shatterspin diligently to impress Ras. Cinder, along with Jordana, was determined to earn the title of Ras' favorite and hopes to eventually become his second-in-command.
Cinder turning against Ras, due to being corrupted by Rox
During the Tournament of the Sources, Ras trained Cinder with his other champions and hoped that he could win in the end. When Cinder lost to Sora, Ras continued to let Cinder remain in the Wolf Clan, unlike what he did to Jay. However after Nokt's victory, Cinder was corrupted by Rox's magic and sided with the evil Wolf Clan, fighting Ras unwillingly and ultimately losing.
Frak (formerly)[]
Ras punishing Frak
During the Tournament of the Sources, Ras recruited Frak and taught him how to fight properly. Despite being strict with Frak, his student considered him a good teacher. However, when Frak learned from Arin that Wolf Masks shatter the goodness in the wearer, he refused to wear the mask and lost his match. This made Ras very angry and he told Frak to disappear and never appear in his sight again.
Frak stayed influenced by Ras' teachings even under Lloyd's guidance although he understood the methods of his former teacher were evil and he could not believe how Arin could side with Ras. When the two finally met again in the World Forest, Ras seemed very angered by Frak's presence and wanted to fight him, only to be stopped by Arin.
Jay (formerly)[]
Ras with his team, including Jay
Ras was Jay's temporary master while the latter was suffering from amnesia. Upon finding him after he left the Administration, Ras rescued Jay from an unknown fate and recruited him to the Wolf Clan. Ras had deceived him in believing that he used to serve him and the Ninja are his enemies as well as enter him in the Tournament of the Sources. Jay also told Ras of his job at the Administration. When he lost to Nya, Ras was angry, banished Jay from the Wolf Clan and sent him away, leaving Jay saddened as he left into unknown parts.
Rogue attacking Ras
After becoming a bounty hunter known as Rogue, Jay was hired by Zeatrix to hunt Ras down and capture him. So, Jay followed Ras and Arin's trace and chased them, although unsuccessfully. However, Ras seemed really angered and annoyed by the unknown hunter's presence, wishing he disappeared. Jay even managed to kidnap Ras using his mech but the tiger was saved by Arin. After hurting his leg and being taken by the ninja, Jay had to stay at the Monastery until he could resume his mission. It is later revealed that Jay had only told Ras of Arin's parents location not their fate, as when Jay found their gravestones in the Land of Lee there was no coffin.
Arin (formerly)[]
Ras fighting Arin for the first time
Lord Ras first encountered Arin at the Crossroads after he was forced to personally retrieve the escaped dragon Riyu that Rapton had failed to contain. Once Ras appeared on the bridge, Arin jumped on him to stop him, but Ras simply grabbed his leg and threw him away, causing Arin to fall unconscious.
Arin and Sora against Ras
Arin and Ras met again in the Advanced Systems Lab after Arin and Sora escaped and Ras came to stop them from kidnapping the imprisoned Riyu. He offered them the option to surrender otherwise he would crush the life out of them. As they refused, they started fighting each other. Arin managed to kick Ras' knee from behind and drop him to the ground, but that didn't stop him. After a short fight, Ras threw Arin against the wall where he remained lying. Sora then managed to defeat and imprison Ras while Arin was still lying on the ground.
Lord Ras defeating Arin
A year later, during the Ritual of the Blood Moon, Jordana failed to deliver the imprisoned Bonzle to Ras, as Arin ambushed her and stole the Off-Road Buggy Car which she was driving. Upon hearing this, an angry Ras left the Shadow Dojo and ran after Arin.
Ras leaving Arin on the ground
As soon as he caught up, Ras jumped in front of the buggy and disabled it by throwing it. He then defeated Riyu, and when Arin ran at him to stop him, Ras grabbed him by the neck after a brief fight and lifted him up. He then told him that he could have been something special, but the ninja were holding him back. Arin objected, claiming that the ninja made him better, but Ras told him that then how was it possible that he defeated him so easily like the first time they met. He explained to him that he was once weak himself, but after meeting his master he changed as they taught him the most important thing in the world, strength. He then jumped up and threw Arin to the ground, where he left him lying, saying that perhaps he would someday find a true master who would teach him the same.
Ras manipulating Arin by telling him the truth about the Merge
During the Tournament of the Sources, Ras discovered Arin sneaking into his dorm and took the opportunity to mock Lloyd's guidance of Arin. He disclosed that Sora had deceived Arin into believing he could use Object Spinjitzu to defeat Ras during the Ritual of the Blood Moon. In an attempt to create discord within the ninja team, Ras pointed out to Arin that Master Wu was the one responsible for the Merge, implying that Wu was also to blame for the disappearance of Arin's parents. Ras then offered Arin a chance to reconsider his loyalties and make a choice.
Arin after saving Ras and taking care of him
After the tournament, Arin understood that Ras aimed to use the Elemental Powers to reach the Source Dragons, but things went wrong when Nokt and Rox betrayed him to free the Forbidden Five. Ras noted Arin's improved Spinjitzu skills, thanks to Frak, another of his students. He was surprised by Arin's willingness to assist him in exchange for help in finding his parents. Alongside the other ninja, they fought Nokt until Roby took back the stolen Elemental Powers. When Nokt captured Ras, Arin hurried to help, but as he crossed the portal gate, it exploded, leaving them trapped in the First Land.
Ras training Arin in the First Land
For several weeks, Ras was in a weak state so Arin took care of him, providing food and even feeding the tiger. In exchange, Ras was training Arin to become a better ninja, explaining to him that he has to use his anger and rage to access his true strength. After Ras got worse, Arin took him to the Spectral Lands where he risked his life to find the healing elixir to save Ras' life. He succeeded and they both continued their journey to find Arin's parents, as that was what Ras had promised him. Ras took Arin to a mysterious graveyard, where he showed Arin his parents' tombstones, demonstrating a degree of sympathy for the young man that had seemingly been orphaned. However, he explained to Arin that by reversing the Merge, they can alter reality and bring Barry and Jenny back to life and also Ras' people.
Arin healing Ras
They travelled to the World Forest to find out how to create more Source Dragon Icons so they could summon them and reverse the Merge. However, Ras was kidnapped by the Forbidden Five who took him to Thunderfang's prison. Arin, accompanied by the ninja, travelled there and saved his teacher, leaving the ninja once again with Ras, this time taking Sora too. During their journey, Ras was harsh toward Arin but he also told the young ninja the truth about wanting to reverse the Merge, and he seemed to care about Arin in his own specific way.
Ras and Arin finally breaking apart
After entering the Underworld, they went to the Forge of the Forgotten where Ras revealed that his plan was to sacrifice Sora and use her to create another Source Dragon Icon. However, Arin finally decided to defy his master as he would not allow him to hurt Sora. Ras tried to argue with Arin, explaining to him that he was a weakling when he first found him and only through his methods Arin had become a warriors who must be determined to make difficult choices in such noble quests as is saving his parents. However, Arin decided it was not worth it, since he considered his best friend to be part of his family as well, and along with Sora tried to leave. Ras started attacking them, commanding them to enter the Forge but they managed to escape from him.
Allies
Allies[]
Beatrix (formerly)[]
Ras meeting Beatrix for the first time
Ras and Beatrix share a long history with one another.
Empress Beatrix and Lord Ras
Ras first encountered Beatrix while attending a meeting with Levo. Later, Ras locates Beatrix in a narrow passage and forms an alliance with her to plot against Levo and secure the throne for Beatrix. Following Beatrix's ascension as Empress, Ras assumes leadership of the Claws of Imperium and is assigned the responsibility of hunting down dragons. Unfortunately, Ras's inability to prevent the ninja from setting free the captive dragons leads to a deterioration in his allegiance with Beatrix. Eventually, Beatrix apprehends Ras and removes him from his position.
Beatrix sought out Ras' assistance with the MergeQuake weapon, but Ras attempted to persuade her to release him by reminding her of his crucial role in her rise to Empress. Ras proposed that if they joined forces to eliminate the ninja, Beatrix would gain complete control over the realms. However, to Ras' anger, Beatrix declined his offer and departed.
Rapton (formerly)[]
Lord Ras with Rapton
Rapton was a leader of the Claws of Imperium and Ras' underling. However, Rapton's abilities and performance fell short of Ras' expectations, rendering him incompetent in Ras' eyes. Ras consistently belittled Rapton, forcing him to endure the constant insults. When Ras couldn't stop the ninja from freeing the dragons from the Kingdom of Imperium, Rapton assisted Beatrix in restraining Ras. This incident caused Ras to completely lose respect for Rapton. After Ras was imprisoned, Rapton taunted Ras for his shortcomings until Beatrix intervened.
Dr. LaRow (formerly)[]
- “Lord Ras! Lord Ras! I... I come bearing bad news. Uh, the prisoners we had? Not exactly imprisoned anymore.”
- “Free? All you had to do was babysit them!”
| — Dr. LaRow and Ras, "The Battle of the Second Monastery" |
Dr. LaRow and Ras
Dr. LaRow is one of Ras' former allies from Imperium. Being a head scientist of the Advanced Systems Lab, she was responsible for draining dragon power which was why Ras needed her.
When the Claws of Imperium arrested Sora, Ras brought her to LaRow so she could help her finish the Photac. While explaining everything to her, LaRow revealed that with Sora's help, Imperium could hunt down any dragon, even the Source Dragons. At these words, Ras glared at her, as she revealed something she wasn't supposed to.
Dr. LaRow being grabbed by the neck by Ras
After the ninja hid themselves in the Monastery of Imperium, Ras angrily stood outside the door. Then Dr. LaRow ran to him and informed him that their prisoners had escaped. Enraged, Ras grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up before throwing her to the ground where he left her lying.
When Beatrix tasked LaRow with draining the Source Dragon's energy, LaRow countered that Lord Ras had another plan before his imprisonment, implying that she trusted his judgment.
Dorama (formerly)[]
- “Who are you, then?”
- “Your new boss. I have a job for you.”
| — Dorama and Ras, "Crossroads Carnival" |
Dorama and Ras
After Dorama was defeated by Arin and Sora during the Crossroads Carnival and left in a cage to wait for the authorities, Ras came to his tent and informed him that the call was intercepted and the authorities would not be coming. He then offered him a job and together they left for Imperium. Ras needed Dorama because the thespian was no stranger to transferring foreign energies and could activate the Photacs to capture Dragons.
Bleckt (formerly)[]
- “This is not how I envisioned our partnership ending Lord Ras.”
- “Partnership?”
| — Bleckt and Ras, "Elements of Betrayal" |
Bleckt speaking with Ras
Before the Tournament of the Sources, Ras plotted with Bleckt against the ninja to prevent them from winning the tournament. Bleckt was willing to help Ras, promising that if his champion won, Ras would get rid of Roby and leave his position as Games master to Bleckt. Although Bleckt considered Ras to be his ally, in reality he was only a tool to carry out the plan, and once it was accomplished, he was no longer useful to Ras.

Wizards and Cyclopses[]
Ras fighting the Wizards of Abracalabria
After arriving to the city of Abracalabria in Mysterium, Ras along with Arin and Sora were encountered by the wizards who told them they are not allowed to enter the city. Ras was very angered by this and started attacking and fighting the wizards and the Cyclopses who guarded the city, ultimately defeating them. However, he only fought them because he wanted to enter the city so he could meet one of them, Pontifex Magicus. After entering the city and realizing the reason they were not allowed to enter was the fact that they were attacked and some of them remained hollowed, Ras no longer needed to have negative emotions towards the wizards.
Gandalaria[]
Ras annoyed by Gandalaria
Despite not meeting, Gandalaria took a part in saving the Cloud Kingdom during the Blood Moon, events that were caused by Lord Ras. However, she never realized he was responsible for these things. Inside the city of Abracalabria, Ras along with Arin and Sora were greeted by the sorceress Gandalaria, who recognized Arin and Sora but had no memory of Ras, despite him being the one responsible for the Ritual of the Blood Moon and releasing the Forbidden Five. She only told Ras that he looked angry and should smile more. After being attacked by the Spectral Dragonian Warriors, Ras realized that Gandalaria knew where was the way to the Underworld, so he ordered the ninja to protect her at any cost. However, she became hollowed soon after that so they took her to the Monastery of Mysterium and after finding the map, left her there, as Ras did not care about her at all.
Enemies
Enemies[]
Levo[]
- “You are shortsighted, Emperor.”
- “And you are insulting. We have no need for pathetic tricksters. Leave us immediately!”
| — Ras and Emperor Levo, "Absolute Power" |
Ras' audience with the Emperor and his daughters
Levo was the Emperor of Imperium who was assassinated by Ras in order to take his throne for Beatrix.
Upon his first arrival in Imperium, Ras requested an audience with the Emperor, who accepted it. Ras came with an offer to capture a Source Dragon for them so that the power of Imperium would be unlimited. However, Levo laughed at Ras saying that the Source Dragons are just a bedtime story and Imperium is already perfect and doesn't need help from anyone. Ras told him that he was too shortsighted, which Levo took as an insult and sent Ras away. Before he left, however, Ras set his sights on one of Levo's daughters, Beatrix.
Ras and Beatrix watching Levo's final moments
After leaving the palace, Ras met Beatrix and since she accepted his offer to capture the Source Dragon, Ras decided to help her become an empress. Therefore, together they planned the assassination of Levo. In order to make it appear accidental, they tampered with Levo's hover chariot, sending him crashing down and dying on impact.
Zeatrix[]
Lord Ras arresting Zeatrix
Zeatrix was an Imperium princess who had Elemental Power and was heir to the throne.
Ras meeting Zeatrix years after their first encounter
Ras met her when he was in audience with Emperor Levo. Although they didn't directly interact, Zeatrix used Shockwave at her father's behest to scare Ras away from the room. Assessing that Zeatrix was only doing her father's will and couldn't help him in his plans, Ras chose her younger sister, Beatrix, as an ally, and after successfully assassinating the Emperor, Ras arrested Zeatrix and banished her out of Imperium.
Zeatrix hiring Rogue to kill Ras
During the Tournament of the Sources, Ras was reunited with Zeatrix, who hated Ras because of their shared past, but also hated the ninja, since they overthrew her sister and prevented Zeatrix from becoming empress.
Several week later, Zeatrix was still angered by Ras and wanted him dead for what he did to her and her father, so she hired Rogue to hunt the tiger down and kill him.
Ninja (brief allies)[]
Ras talking with the ninja
Ras harbored an immense level of animosity towards the ninja due to their actions of liberating the captive dragons and later succeeding them to close the portal to prevent liberation of most of the members of the Forbidden Five during the Ritual of the Blood Moon. Ras even used two of their own teammates, Jay, due to his amnesia during the Tournament, which despite Jay losing, Ras manage to hurt the ninja by making them lose one of their friends, and Arin, whom Ras deceived by revealing that Wu, the ninja's mentor, was responsible for the former's parents' disappearance. Ras did team up with the ninja to take down Nokt and Rox from freeing the rest of the Forbidden Five and to recover the elemental powers Nokt possessed. While training Arin, Ras revealed he hated the Ninja partial due to their Master Wu causing the Merge, which caused his people to disappear.
Ras and Arin encountering the ninja
Ras met the ninja again in the World Forest, but he had no interest in fighting them, he was just annoyed by their presence and wanted them to leave. They told him that the Forbidden Five were coming for his Returning Blade to which he only responded that he can take care of himself and the blade. After Thunderfang's defeat, Ras left the ninja with Arin and also Sora, who wanted to join her friend. However, the two finally left Ras after he revealed his intentions to sacrifice Sora, which caused a fight between all of them. Arin and Sora managed to escape and Ras resumed the work on his plans, leaving them to their fate. Later Ras scattered the ninja across the Merged Realms to prevent them from stopping his plans.
Sora (former companion)[]
- “Why do you think I tolerated your presence for so long?”
- “I thought you needed my help.”
- “That's true, in a way.”
| — Ras and Sora about sacrificing her to the Casket, "Casket of Bones" |
Ras and Sora fighting
Ras and Sora first met in the Crossroads when the Claws of Imperium were trying to capture Riyu. Ras easily defeated both, Sora and Arin and took them as prisoners. They met again when Sora and Arin were rescuing Riyu and the three of them fought. Ras was ultimately defeated by Sora who used her Elemental Power of Technology and trapped the tiger. During the fight, Arin and Sora had some mocking reminders about Ras.
Sora joining Ras and Arin on their journey
Ras and Sora met during the Ritual of the Blood Moon and also the Tournament of the Sources but they had no direct encounters during this time.
Several weeks later, after Thunderfang's defeat, Sora decided to leave the ninja and join Ras and Arin on their quest to find Arin's parents. Despite Ras refusing to let Sora join their company, he was convinced by Arin who told him that having the Elemental Master of Technology on their team could be helpful. Although he was not pleased by this, Ras finally agreed and Sora left with the two of them.
During their journey, Ras was mostly annoyed by Sora's presence and her incompetence to use her powers to help them in some situations, occasionally refering to her with her birth name, Ana. However, he offered the overall impression that he was tolerant of her but found her questions to be aggravating. After entering the Forge of the Forgotten, he revealed that the only reason he allowed her to join them was that he could use her as a sacrifice for the Casket of Bones. After realizing that, Sora and Arin both fought Ras and escaped, thereby resuming their previous relationship as open enemies.
Lloyd[]
Ras and Lloyd at the Blood Moon Ritual
During the Battle of the Second Monastery, Lloyd’s path crossed with Ras for the first time. They didn’t interact much, but were against each other nonetheless. Lloyd, alongside Arin, Sora, Wyldfyre, Zane, Nya and Kai, managed to stop the Claws of Imperium from capturing the dragons, which led to Ras’ imprisonment.
A year later, Ras took over the Cloud Kingdom. Lloyd and his fellow Ninja tried to stop him, but were defeated by Cinder using Shatterspin. They fought each other during the Blood Moon Ritual. Ras managed to sacrifice Kai and free Nokt, but was forced to escape with the rest of the Wolf Clan.
Ras meeting Lloyd at the tournament
They met again at the Tournament of the Sources. A personal rivalry seemed to have sprung between them when they met face to face during the dinner of the tournament. Ras conspired with Bleckt and sent an attacker bot after the Ninja. Manipulating Arin, Ras criticized Lloyd's decisions as a leader and his inability to train the young ninja. During the final round, Lloyd and Ras acted as coaches for Sora and Nokt respectively. After Nokt stole all the elemental powers, Lloyd and Ras teamed up against him and the Wolf Warriors.
After meeting Ras in the World Forest, Lloyd assume Ras was holding Arin hostage but Ras said Arin is with him by choice, which surprised Lloyd. Lloyd felt a fundamental different between Ras and the ninja was the latter allowing others to make their own decisions. As a result, though he was concerned for Arin and Sora when the two broke away from the team to follow Ras, he acknowledged that his two students were free to make that decision.
Riyu[]
Lord Ras and Beatrix looking at Riyu
Riyu was one of the dragons captured and imprisoned by the Claws of Imperium, but managed to escape and befriend Arin and Sora. Lord Ras managed to capture him shortly after his escape and imprisoned him along with Arin and Sora, telling the little dragon that he was going to hunt down his entire family.
Riyu attacking Ras
Although it is unknown what Ras' true plan was with Riyu, when the little dragon was recaptured by Beatrix and she wanted to drain it's energy, Ras strongly disagreed.
A year later, during the Ritual of the Blood Moon, Ras was chasing after Arin and Riyu, who had saved Bonzle. Ras easily caught up with them and threw the young dragon after attacking and left him lying on the ground.
Wu[]
Ras with trapped Wu
During the Tournament of the Sources Ras revealed to Arin that Wu is the one who caused The Merge and because of that he is responsible for everything that went wrong in Arin's life. Later, when training Arin, Ras discredited Wu and the ninja's methods as they were contradicting his own beliefs.
Ras met Wu for the first time in the Monastery of Spinjitzu, where he managed to mystically imprison Wu's spirit form inside the protective container. Then, he took him to the Monastery of Gates where he mockingly told Wu that his former students, the ninja, were scattered across the Merged Lands.
Bonzle[]
Ras sacrificing Bonzle in Lloyd's vision
After Ras learned that Bonzle was the one responsible for banishing the Forbidden Five, Ras immediately instructed Jordana to dispatch wolf warriors to apprehend her for the Ritual of the Blood Moon. Despite the repeated failures of both Jordana and the wolf warriors in capturing Bonzle, Ras managed to successfully apprehend her himself. He then proceeded to use her for the Ritual of the Blood Moon in order to release the Forbidden Five from the Nether-Space. Unfortunately for Ras, his plan only partially succeeded, as only Nokt was freed during the ritual. This was due to the fact that Bonzle had already managed to close the portal, preventing the rest of the Forbidden Five from being released.
Forbidden Five[]
Drix passing captured Ras to Nokt
Back during the Ritual of the Blood Moon, Ras intended to free the Forbidden Five from the Nether-Space. Even though they had not personally met, Ras had immense respect the Forbidden Five, referring them as the most powerful beings in the Merged Lands. However they were on opposites sides when they officially met, with Rox's first interaction having to possess Jordana and ruining his plans to create Dragon Icons. Ras then met Drix in the World Forest where he delivered a powerful blow empowered by Shatterspin following another one with the latter's hammer. He then took an unconscious Ras as a hostage, preserving him for Nokt, knowing the latter and Ras had a tense history together, thus allowing Nokt to have his revenge. Ras expressed his regret at having ever released the Five. Later Ras met Kur who was been attempting to capture his soul in Mysterium, however he never personally met Zarkt.
Nokt (former ally)[]
Lord Ras with Nokt
Being a member of the Forbidden Five, Nokt was the first of them to be freed from the Nether-Space by Ras during the Ritual of the Blood Moon, and ultimately the only one, as the ritual was foiled by the ninja. After his release, Ras informed him that he planned to free the other members as well and needed the ninja as victims. Nokt supported the plan and started fighting the ninja.
Ras electrocuting Nokt
After teleporting the Shadow Dojo to safety, Nokt began verbally attacking Ras, telling him how dare he surrender without freeing the remaining four members. Angered, Ras told Nokt not to dare treat him like that and placed a device on the back of his head that electrocuted him whenever he disobeyed orders. In doing so, Ras earned the involuntary allegiance of Nokt.
Nokt dragging Ras away
After the Tournament of the Sources, Nokt was able to free himself from Ras and immediately started disobeying him. Nokt then freed the rest of the Forbidden Five although that wasn't Ras' plan. After that Nokt attempted to punish Ras for what he did although he wasn't able to do it.
Ras and Nokt fighting
When Drix attempted to steal the Returning Blade from Ras, he kidnapped Ras and took him to Nokt so he could finally punish him. However, Nokt was not willing to just kill Ras when he was unarmed, reminding Ras of using the control implant on him and limiting his powers. He wanted to win in a fair match and humiliate him, so he freed him, gave him his hammer, and started to fight him. When Ras proved to be more formidable than he expected, Nokt resorted to Shatterspin to take him down and Ras was almost defeated by Nokt if it wasn't for Arin who saved his teacher.
Soul Suckers[]
The Soul Suckers attacking Ras
When Arin was fighting the Soul Suckers with Morro, Ras tried to get to the elixir to heal him but by doing this he entered the border to the Spectral Lands. There, the Soul Suckers came around him and tried to drain his spirit energy. However, Arin managed to use the Object Spinjitzu on the Returning Blade, throwing it on the Soul Suckers around Ras and scaring them.
Mountain Dragons[]
Ras and Arin being confronted by the Mountain Dragons
During his days in Imperium, Ras hunted down many dragons, including the Mountain Dragons. They remembered him and when Ras and Arin came to the World Forest so they could visit the Temple of the Dragon Cores, some of the dragons recognized the tiger and decided to take him prisoner. Ras was willing to fight the dragons and was even convinced that he could destroy them all, Arin took the matter into his own hands and tried to bargain with Leaf Blade about letting Ras go. However, the dragon was against this idea, so Arin took Ras and they both escaped after being chased by the Mountain Dragons.
Spirit of the Temple[]
- “Most helpful. You may go.”
- “Fie! A pox upon you villains!”
| — Ras and the Spirit of the Temple, "Their Draconic Majesty's Request" |
Ras and Arin with the Spirit of the Temple
When Ras and Arin came to the Temple of the Dragon Cores, Ras destroyed the statue of the First Spinjitzu Master and summoned the Spirit of the Temple. Then, he requested the information about the Source Dragon Icons but when the Spirit refused to tell him that information because he was not an offspring of the First Spinjitzu Master, Ras showed him his golden hammer and explained it is a Dragon Icon. The tiger then decided to threaten the Spirit by the Icon and tried to hurt him so that the Spirit would tell him everything he needed. This tactic worked and the Spirit of the Temple was forced to explain everything to Ras.
Monster Skull[]
Ras with the Monster Skull
After arriving to the village where the entrance to the Underworld was, Ras along with Arin and Sora were attacked by the Monster Skull, as he viewed them not worthy of entering the lands. Ras then started fighting the Monster, ultimately defeating it by knocking off all of its limbs. After being defeated, the Monster Skull revealed that victory over him was the only thing the disgraced warriors of the Underworld would honor, saying that Ras's strength was the most important thing.
Kruncha and Nuckal[]
- “You dummy, why tell some random mortal where the Forge is?”
- “Ah! He asked all forceful. You know I respond to strong leadership.”
| — Kruncha and Nuckal about Ras, "Casket of Bones" |
Ras confronting Kruncha and Nuckal
After entering the Underworld with Arin and Sora, Ras met Kruncha and Nuckal there and asked them for directions to the Forge of the Forgotten. However, despite Nuckal wanted to tell him the answer, Kruncha disagreed as he did not know Ras and wanted to defeat them in a game. Ras, annoyed by the two, used his hammer to knock out their heads, threatening them, so they revealed the directions to the Forge. Arin and Sora then helped them apologizing for Ras to which the two replied that they knew people like Ras as they used to work for such.
Skulkin and the Greenbone Warriors[]
- “There is only one solution, we must make it so the one who used the Forge is no longer living!”
- “You are welcome to try!”
| — The Greenbone Leader and Ras, "Under the Light of a Mechanical Moon" |
Ras moments before the fight
After creating the Source Dragon Icon using the Forge of the Forgotten, Ras was surrounded by some Skulkin and the Greenbone Warriors, led by the Greenbone Leader. He told Ras that he disgraced their Forge and had to die, as only the dead could use the Forge. Ras replied to him that they were welcomed to try and after that they started fighting. Ras managed to defeat and possibly kill his opponents and then made himself an armor from their remains.
Alfonzo Frohicky[]
- “I, Alfonzo Elias Frohicky, Assistant Keeper of the Monastery, will not permit you to...”
- “Permit me? My strength permits me!”
| — Alfonzo Frohicky and Ras, "When Doves Cry" |
Ras threatening to Frohicky
Mr. Frohicky heard about Ras from the ninja and after the tiger used the portal gate to travel to the Monastery of Spinjitzu he was visibly scared of his arrival. However, after trying to escape he found some courage and attempted to disarm Ras saying he as the ninja would never quit. Ras managed to easily defeat him but Frohicky used the last of his power to activate the training course on the courtyard, stopping the tiger for a while. After the battle, Ras forced Frohicky to take him to Wu's study inside the Monastery so he could trap the Master.
Geo[]
| — Geo and Ras, "When Doves Cry" |
Geo fusing Ras' chest plate to the training course
Geo first heard about Ras when he tried to kidnap Bonzle but haven't met him until his arrival to the Monastery of Spinjitzu. There, he and Mr. Frohicky tried to escape but were forced to fight. He told Ras that he would defend his family and started fighting, using his Elemental Power to fuse Ras' bone chest plate to the training course. However, Ras broke free and fought Geo, throwing him into the air and delivering a final blow, leaving Geo unconscious on the training course, even burying him beneath the floor.
Rontu[]
- “I once trapped a Source Dragon. Am I to tremble in front of a decrepit old lizard on her last legs?”
- “A Tiger Tribe warrior without honor? Zarkar himself would be ashamed to find his last descendant...”
| — Ras and Rontu, "When Doves Cry" |
Ras delivering the final blow to Rontu
Because of his life in the Wyldness, Ras learned about Rontu and Egalt as they were legendary warriors. Rontu first heard of Ras from the ninja prior to the Ritual of the Blood Moon and after learning about him capturing a Source Dragon she called him really powerful.
Ras first met Rontu when she attacked him on the Monastery of Spinjitzu courtyard, defending Mr. Frohicky and Geo. Ras recognized her and mocked her for being old and decrepit. Rontu, not scared of him, called him out as a dishonorable Tiger Tribe warrior of whom even Zarkar would be ashamed. However, then she realized Ras wielded two Source Dragon Icons which he used to fight her, mocking the recent demise of Egalt with the request that Rontu give his regards to her late mate. After a short battle Ras defeated Rontu and left her lying unconscious on the courtyard.
