Crystal King (Final Form)

Crystal King's History

The Overlord (also known as the Dark Lord) is the original evil spirit, the creator of the Stone Army and the source of all Darkness and evil. A primordial dark entity, he first manifested as a draconic being that challenged the First Spinjitzu Master, who was well aware of the creature's true nature. After a lengthy battle, the First Spinjitzu Master succeeded, defeating the Stone Army and trapping the Overlord on the Dark Island. Not willing to resign in defeat and wanting to take revenge, the dark entity corrupted a snake and sent it after the Spinjitzu Master's oldest son, Garmadon, to put his plan into motion.

Thousands of years later, a corrupted Garmadon was confronted by the Overlord's spirit, who influenced him to join forces. Garmadon assumed command of the indestructible Stone Army, which constructed an ultimate weapon. Eventually, the Overlord revealed he was using Garmadon and posessed his body - commencing a metamorphosis that turned him into his monstrous original form. The ninja and Lloyd returned to Ninjago, where Lloyd fought and defeated the Overlord in the final battle.

Sometime later, the Overlord once again returned in the form of a digital virus. With the help of Pythor and the Nindroids, the Overlord became the all-powerful Golden Master using the Golden Weapons and Lloyd's Golden Power. In a final effort to defeat the Overlord, Zane sacrificed himself, destroying both their physical forms. As the balance must be maintained, the Overlord survived, and his spirit went dormant.[3] A statue of him was to be placed in the Ninjago Museum of History's Hall of Villainy prior to the Time Twins' return.

Eventually, the Overlord awakened and during the Ninja's battle against the resurrected Garmadon to free the city from his control, the Overlord confronted Harumi in his void following her demise, coercing her into doing his bidding and reviving her. The Overlord adopted the title Crystal King, and once again sought to destroy the Balance - promising Harumi eternal peace in the darkness. A year after the Great Flood, Harumi assembled a council of villains to serve the Overlord, including Pythor, the Mechanic, Mister F, Aspheera and Vangelis, who performed a ritual to grant the Overlord a physical form. The Overlord waged a new final battle on the people of Ninjago, and was met with resistance from the ninja and their allies. Ultimately, the Overlord was defeated by Lloyd and the combined elemental might of Earth, Fire, Ice and Lightning, which took the form of the Golden Ultra Dragon. With his physical vessel destroyed, he has once again returned to his dormant state.
