Ninjago Constrictai Snake Tribe Sets and Story

The Constrictai are one of the five ancient snake tribes of Ninjago. They are one of the later tribes to start appearing in the sets, but now in Summer 2012 we are starting to see Constrictai minifigures. 

The Constrictai colors are black and orange and some of them have spikes. 

The Constrictai have the ability to make it hard for people to breath - they choke or strangle them. (Like a boa constrictor.) The Constrictai staff can undo this effect. 

The Constrictai also have the ability to tolerate toxic bogs. 

The Constrictai have underground caves and tunnels. 

Skalidor is the Constrictai General. This means he has a snake tail rather than legs like the warrior and scout Constrictai. 

Skalidor is a black snake with an orange front and lots of spikes. He also has fangs. 

He's the one in the Constrictai video above. 

General Skalidor appears in the Epic Dragon Battle set along with Chokun, a Constrictai warrior. 

The Epic Dragon Battle set is the big set for the Summer 2012 Ninjago range. 

There's a new Ninjago Weapon pack out for Summer 2012 which includes the Constrictai Chokun minifigure. 

Chokun has an orange body and legs with dark gray arms and head. And he had fangs. His head is a different style to the cobra-type headpieces we have seen on previous snake minifigs. 

Chokun is a Constrictai soldier so he has legs. 

You also get a Constrictai spinner with weapon attachments and Constrictai orange crown in this set. And also a snake weapon. 

The Samurai Mech set is awesome for Constrictai minifigures. Well it's a very cool set anyway - you get Samurai X with her amazing Samurai Mech. 

But you also get two Constrictai snake minifigures: Snike and Bytar. They also have a snake catapult in this set. And you also get the Constrictai fang blade with its orange anti-venom capsule (handy when the Constrictai are around!)

Snike is a Constrictai scout and has a small head with lots of scaley detail.

Bytar is a Constrictai Warrior. He's black with a big head with lots of spikes - very cool!
