The shadow theater in the model tells a story that is simple
enough to be interpreted in many different ways. The
silhouettes might even be spirits trapped under the temple,
forever reliving their moment of glory, learning how to master
the secrets of Airjitzu in an epic fight. But was it their last
fight?
The snake for me represents the Great Devourer, the
ultimate baddie in the Year of the Snake, and one of the
most impactful villains in the LEGO NINJAGO world. The mini
Great Devourer could be sneaking in for a bite, and spinning
in circles is the best way to defend against the venomous
fiend. If you try moving the snake closer to the light-brick,
the shadow will grow, and you can recreate a scene of
Garmadon and his brother Wu fending off the powerful foe.
