Rise of the Snakes (also titled Rise of the Serpentine on the DVD release) is the first season of the animated television series Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu (titled Ninjago from the eleventh season onward). Michael Hegner and Tommy Andreasen created the series. It revolves around the adventures of four teenage ninja who live in the fictional world of Ninjago and fight against the forces of evil.[1] The season aired from 2 December 2011 to 11 April 2012 following the pilot episodes. It is succeeded by the second season, titled Legacy of the Green Ninja.
Rise of the Snakes introduces the central character Lloyd Garmadon (voiced by Jillian Michaels). It follows the story arc of the character's development to becoming the prophesied Green Ninja.[2] In this season, Lloyd is depicted as a young boy who serves as a minor antagonist to the ninja team. The storyline focuses on his attempts to become an evil warlord by taking control of five Serpentine tribes before turning from the path of evil. Lord Garmadon returns as an unlikely ally of the ninja team, while Pythor P. Chumsworth and a legendary snake named the Great Devourer are introduced as the season's main antagonists. The season also develops the character of Nya as she maintains a secret identity as the mysterious Samurai X.[3]
