Kalmaar is the main antagonist of Season 14: Seabound of LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, as well as a posthumous antagonist in Season 15: Crystalized.
He is the recently installed king of Merlopia, son of Trimaar and adoptive brother of Benthomaar who longs to destroy the surface world due to his hatred for its inhabitants.
He was voiced by Giles Panton.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Even as a child, he was completely indifferent to the troubles of others. He didn't even care at all for his father or adopted brother Benthomaar.
- When he was young, he insistently requested his father leave the helpless Benthomaar for dead in his carnage and hated him from that moment.
- He even used Benthomaar as a "guinea fish" to find a way to Wojira's temple, all while pretending to have warmed up to him. As soon as Benthomaar had led him to Wojira’s temple, Kalmaar expressed his resentment for him in an exceptionally cruel way: openly clarifying his disdain and casting him aside since he had served his purpose.
- When he was young, he insistently requested his father leave the helpless Benthomaar for dead in his carnage and hated him from that moment.
- He would sink human ships simply because he hated them. It's implied that he wanted to exterminate the humans even back then but didn't have enough resources.
- Planned on awakening the sea serpent Wojira to have her exterminate the human race and rule the Endless Sea.
- Attempted to kill the ninja as soon as they came close to Merlopia.
- When Nya and Mya came into his temple, he immediately attacked them and knocked them both unconscious before holding them captive.
- When Kalmaar was confronted by his father about his schemes, he attacked the latter with a lightning-bolt from his Trident, along with the guards who witnessed it, and blames the ninja. As a result, his father died from the received injuries. It is also likely the guards were killed to cover up the truth.
- While chasing the ninja through Merlopia, he ordered his men to open fire, even though this put civilians in danger of getting caught in crossfire. Even Gripe, his most loyal servant, hesitated to follow this order, which only proves that Kalmaar doesn't care for other Merlopians.
- Broke the Hydro Bounty, leaving it stuck on the Island of Keepers, keeping the ninja alive only because he wanted them to live with the guilt of having failed.
- Threatened to kill Clutch Powers if he didn't give him the Storm Amulet.
- While it seemed as if he gained some respect to Antonia after she managed to hold him off for a long time, it was merely him acknowledging that he underestimated how powerful humans could be, and there's no respect in his words, as he still considered Antonia's species "loathsome".
- Attempted to drown the captured Kai, Misako, Ray, Wu and Cole.
- As soon as he awoke Wojira, he went on a rampage through Ninjago City, creating a tsunami which would have killed thousands if the city had not been evacuated before the occurrence. According to Tommy Andreasen, he controlled the serpent by cruelly causing it physical pain.
- Threatened the defenseless Police Commissioner if he didn't tell him where the ninja were hiding.
- During her fight with Kalmaar, Nya lowered her guard at Jay. While she was distracted, Kalmaar zapped her, disintegrating her.
- While he does have a few comedic moments (which are mostly limited to him shrieking when panicking), they don't detract from his overall seriousness as a threat in the slightest.
- Ultimately, his actions posthumously caused great pain to the protagonists, as Benthomaar was traumatized by his adoptive father's death and Nya had to merge with the Endless Sea to save Jay and defeat Wojira for good, leaving her teammates (especially Jay) distraught when she had to leave.
- Despite him arguing that the humans should be punished for banishing the Merlopians, it soon becomes clear that the only source of his misanthropy is his own prejudice rather than concern for his fellow seafolk, since no other Merlopian was ever shown to despise humans.
- While he does have some comedic moments they are very few and his worst actions are taken seriously.
- Despite the massive heinous standards of the Ninjago franchise, all the villains who outdo him such have more resources than him.
Trivia[]
- According to Ninjago head writer Bragi Schut, Kalmaar is one of Ninjago's worst villains.
- Kalmaar is the final Pure Evil in the original Ninjago series, as the following season, Crystalized, wouldn't have any new Pure Evil candidates and would be the conclusion to the original series.
