LEGO Nails Minifigure Background :
LEGO Nails Minifigure, is a minor antagonist in the Ninjago Television Series, primarily appearing in the Sons of Garmadon (S.O.G.) and Hunted Seasons as a member of the villainous biker gang. He holds little importance to the overall narrative, serving mainly as a background character for the group's Leaders. The show portrays Nails with minimal character depth; he only speaks in grunts, emphasizing his role as a simple, brutish follower. Other minor villains similar to him, help expand the visual world of Ninjago, but do not drive the main plot.
LEGO Nails Minifigure Appearance :
Nails' appearance portrays he is a low-ranking member of the Sons of Garmadon biker gang. He is a human character, notable for having short legs, a trait only a few adult human minifigures in the show share. His minifigure has a red mohawk hair style and a red katana, but in the show, he typically wears a helmet similar to his General, Killow, covering his hair. Nails wields a dagger as his weapon of choice in the show, though in the Set (#70640) S.O.G. Headquarters, Nails is wielding a red katana and a wrench. He has a striking resemblance to another minor character, Chopper Maroon, with both of them featuring red short mohawk hair pieces.
Nails' Role :
As a low-ranking member of the Sons of Garmadon, Nails interacts with several key characters within the villainous biker organization. He takes orders from the organization's Leaders, including the mysterious Princess Harumi (also known as "The Quiet One") and Emperor Garmadon. Nails 'works alongside the Generals of S.O.G. Mr. E, Ultra Violet, and Killow. The Members of the S.O.G. are Skip Vicious, Mohawk, Luke Cunningham, and Chopper Maroon who help participate in various raids and criminal activities. His interactions consistently position him within the villainous hierarchy, participating in the group's singular goal: resurrecting the evil Lord Garmadon.
Nails' Interactions :
He actively opposes the Ninja (Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Lloyd, and Nya) throughout his appearances. Nails' first encounters Zane while he's undercover in the gang as the persona (Snake Jaguar); Nails growls at him, whom Zane questions about being "the big man" before Killow interrupts them. After the Sons of Garmadon discover Zane's true identity, Nails directly attempts to prevent him from winning a race. The Colossus served as Lord Garmadon's main weapon of mass destruction and a symbol of oppression, used to conquer and control Ninjago City. He encounters the Ninja's allies, including the Ninjago Policemen, and the Resistance Members (Lloyd, Nya, Skylor, P.I.X.A.L., Misako, Dareth, Nuero, Mr. Pale, Tox, Shade, Karlof, Griffin Turner, and Ronin) during the Season 9, Hunted storyline.
Nails' Journey :
Nails' role in the series reaches its conclusion after Lloyd Garmadon defeats Garmadon and restores peace to Ninjago City. The Police arrest him along with the other surviving members of the Sons of Garmadon. He becomes an inmate at Kryptarium Prison, transitioning from an active street villain to a confined antagonist. This effectively ends his involvement in the immediate storylines, though he remains affiliated with the villainous side in Ninjago.
