Drew a new Ninjago oc. I find him pretty neat! He likes wearing these horn rings, dunno what to call them though.

He’s a Constrictai, a very unused species in Ninjago. Hell, I haven’t even seen any Constrictai ocs in this fandom.

I was bored, had nothing to do, researched what irl snakes best fit the serpentine.

Hypnobrai: Indian cobras due to a. Being a cobra and having a hood, simmilar to the hypnobrai, and b. Being the most common snakes used in snake charming. Snake charming is basically hypnosis so like yeah it fits.

Fangpyre: cottonmouths, mainly because cottonmouth venom can cause necrosis. Necrosis is basically the skin decaying. When zombies bite people they turn them into zombies and their skin starts to decay. It just makes sense

Constrictai: sand constrictor, they can burrow and constrict their prey. It’s perfect <3

Venomari: Javan spitting cobra, they spit venom and they have a hood.

Anacondrai: green anacondas, “anaconda is literally in the name, green anacondas have the best camouflage of the 4 anaconda species

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

No it’s insane having Frak because like. Finally some Constrictai representation???? They’re easily the most overlooked Serpentine tribe by the fandom and canon alike. It doesn’t help that they only appeared in the latter wave of 2012 with the least set appearances, one of them didn’t even get a spinner/booster pack! And in the show the Constrictai are tied with the Venomari as having the least focus.

And like c’mon we know he’s a Constrictai. He’s orange and his element is associated with the earth, he takes advice from Cole. The Constrictai were once used by Skales to cause earthquakes by drilling through Ninjago City’s foundations.

What’s even cooler is that he’s also kind of a canon stand in for the EVO snake warriors? They didn’t appear in the show at all, but they have the same coloration and mold as Frak, more or less. And given Dragons Rising actually had the second EVO wave’s villains in the show, this feels like its way to make up for the first wave being left out.

If you think about it, the Constrictai can be seen tunneling by spinning like a drill. So I guess it makes sense that one would join the ninja because that’s not so unlike Spinjitzu in that sense. Kinda ironic then that Frak doesn’t actually know Spinjitzu while having an element, while it’s the reverse for his friend Arin.

Just. Good guy Serpentine who’s recurring and has a storyline where you root for him??? And he’s Constrictai and not just Mezmo??? Even his name fits the typical Serpentine puns! Dragons Rising writers continue to serve me well, after a decade of waiting.

All I need now is to see Frak tunnel through the earth. I can see why he wouldn’t choke people with his bare hands tho, or use his venom (If the Constrictai have any; I HC theirs causes you to suffocate and that’s why there’s even an antivenin, though the canon is that it apparently just helps you breathe better after being squeezed/choked). Oh and let’s have him interact with Spitz over Serpentine history and figures, as well as acknowledging the initially contentious relationship the previous generation had with the ninja. But that’s just a nice bonus.
