"Don't worry, if the falling rocks don't crush you, I will."
―Kruncha

Kruncha is a Ninjago minifigure released in summer of 2011. He appears in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, mostly arguing with Nuckal. He is the Skulkin General of Earth and second in command of the skeleton army.

Background

Second in command of the Skulkin Army, Kruncha is the hard-headed, strong skeleton General of Earth. Originally, he served under the command of Samukai, who was defeated by Lord Garmadon, whom took supreme control of the Underworld and the undead legions. Seeking the Four Weapons of Spinjitzu, he accompanies Samukai and Nuckal to Ninjago to search for the weapons, and eventually finds a map to the weapons, after bickering with Nuckal, his dimwitted companion. Later, Kruncha is seen helping the other skeletons mine for the Scythe of Quakes, as well as following the ninja to the locations of the Shurikens of Ice and Nunchucks of Lightning. The following night, he helped in the ambush of the ninja's camp and stole the weapons, but when Garmadon's plan to unite them at the Fire Temple failed, Samukai lead the Skulkin to the Underworld in a change of plans. At Garmadon's fortress, Kruncha and Nuckal guarded the entrance, but were trapped in a ferris wheel of bones when the ninja united to form the Tornado of Creation. After Samukai's death and Garmadon's betrayal to the army, Wyplash, (third-in-command of the army before samukai's death) lead the surviving skeletons, excluding Kruncha (who now is the ruler of the skeleton army) and Nuckal out to Ninjago to seek vengeance for their fallen king. Meanwhile, the two plotted an escape attempt using the Skull Truck to steal the Weapons of Spinjitzu, but the plan backfired and the generals were forced to return them. Now on the run, Kruncha and Nuckal met up with Wyplash and helped be to excavate the secret Underworld entrance in the Fire Temple to unleash more Skulkin. However, the plan was apprehended by Kai and Nya, who trapped Wyplash and the other skeletons (excluding Ruler Kruncha and general Nuckal) within the Underworld, ending the threat of the Skulkin. Now helpless, Kruncha and Nuckal traveled to Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys and became substitute teachers, but were told by Cole to leave Ninjago and never return, or else. Again on the run, the two were spotted shortly in an unknown village, but were scared off by Sensei Wu, and also seen in the Blade Cup Talent Show booing the ninja's performance. However, they made a dramatic appearance when Garmadon rebanded the Skulkin army and lead them to battle against the Serpentine. The duo were seen fighting the snakes, encouraging the ninja to stop Pythor's plans. their last appearance was in episode 13, at the "take back ninjago rally", dancing to 'we want snakes to slither away!'. it is unknown why nuckal has the rank of general because he is not very intelligent. it must be because of his strength. kruncha and wyplash deserve to be generals because they are smart and clever. kruncha is now the leader (as seen in the episode where the skulkins helped the ninja attack the snakes, he was leading the army). he was 2nd in command when samukai was still alive and now is the ruler because of his remarkable strength and intelligence. wyplash is now 2nd in command and serves kruncha, although kruncha rarely sees him. he most likely like a commando to kruncha because of his obedience quick reflexes and intelligence. nuckal also serves under kruncha, but kruncha treats nuckal like a friend.

Notes

  • His armour is different from most other Skulkins, with Wyplash as an exception.
  • His face is very similar to that of Nuckal and Wyplash.
  • In the online art (see below), Kruncha's body has a blue cloth, when it should be grey.
  • His head and helmet are one piece.
  • In Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu he has a red cloth and no monocle. Also, he has a cracked tooth. And, he has a dark metallic grey helmet instead of a light grey one.
  • He was sent to the Boarding School for Bad Boys along with Nuckal.
  • He is known as Crunch instead of his real name in The Ninjago TV Series.
  • He has apparently seized power as the Commander of the Skulkin (or what remains of them), as he is shown giving commands to the army in All of Nothing. It is likely that Wyplash was not present and allowed Kruncha to call the shots.
  • He and Nuckal are some of the only characters in Ninjago to have a theme song, the others being Lloyd Garmadon, and Ed Walker & Edna Walker.
  • He and Nuckal enter Ninjago and the ninjas don't do anything to them, but In [Never Trust a Snake], Cole tells him he will let him go and that they had better leave Ninjago, or else.
