Kalmaar

Prince Kalmaar: The Aspiring Emperor of the Merlopians

Prince Kalmaar is the ambitious and tyrannical son of King Trimaar and the younger half-brother of Benthomaar. Born with a deep-seated hatred for surface-dwellers, Kalmaar harbored a strong desire to conquer the surface world and rule over all of Ninjago, believing himself to be the rightful heir to the throne and the true leader of the Merlopians.

Kalmaar's resentment stemmed from a misunderstanding of his own origins and a manipulative nature that led him to embrace the dark prophecy of the **Storm Amulet** and the mighty sea serpent, Wojira. He is characterized by his cunning, his cruelty, and his unwavering belief in Merlopian supremacy, making him a dangerous and formidable antagonist for the ninja.

Throughout Season 15, "Seabound," Kalmaar actively seeks to awaken Wojira using both the Storm and Wave Amulets, aiming to unleash the legendary creature's destructive power upon the surface world. His actions drive the central conflict of the season, forcing Nya to confront the full extent of her elemental powers and ultimately leading to a climactic showdown that threatens the very existence of Ninjago.

His storyline highlights themes of prejudice, power, and the devastating consequences of unchecked ambition. Kalmaar's descent into villainy is a tragic tale of a prince consumed by envy and a twisted sense of destiny, making him a memorable and impactful foe in the Ninjago saga.
