Biography[]
At some point, Garmadon was attacking a village with his skeleton army and met Lady Iron Dragon, otherwise known as Koko, in a battle. Although she and Garmadon fought for the opposite sides, the two fell in love. They eventually got married and had a child named Lloyd. However, Koko soon realized that Lloyd would grow up to be evil if he stayed with Garmadon, so she left Garmadon along with her son. Not changing to become a good father became one of Lord Garmadon's greatest regrets. At some point after this, Garmadon gained the Shark Army and would attack Ninjago almost daily, until a Secret Ninja Force formed to repel his attacks. Eventually, his attacks were added to the daily weather forecast.
On Lloyd's birthday, he attacked again in a Shark Walker, sending his Shark Army to try and take over Ninjago City. The Secret Ninja force responded and took to their mechs, fighting back against the Shark Army forces. Lloyd went after Garmadon, who kept running in his Mech all over the city, mocking the Green Ninja, telling him to shoot him if he saw him. Lloyd then saw the shark head poking out and firing, and Garmadon yelled that Lloyd hit his kidney.
Lloyd then tracked Garmadon down and used his Green Ninja Mech Dragon to send rapid-fire missiles at him, after the Dark Lord said that he left because his son cried all the time, had no hair, or any teeth. Garmadon was then surrounded by the Ninjas' mechs, and he threw a bomb at Lloyd, which he could not catch. As Lloyd yelled at him to get out of his life, Garmadon told Lloyd he had a lot of problems and that he hoped that he would have them sorted out by the time he was back to attack again.
Garmadon then returned to his Volcanic Lair and met with his generals, telling them they had finally taken Ninjago. When General Number 1 tried to correct him, Garmadon yelled that he was being sarcastic, and asked #1 if he wanted to be a follower or a leader. When he said leader, Garmadon fired him out of the volcano. Other generals dropped ideas, only to be fired as well. But then, Garmadon's scientists showed him the blueprints for a new battle mech, Garma Mecha Man. They then got to work building it.
The next day, he attacked the city again, with a bigger army and the new Garma Mecha Man. Once again, The Ninja went to stop him, but it went differently. Garmadon grabbed the Mech Dragon and flung it into the docks, firing off tons of Sharks. He then climbed up the tower to the mayor and planted a flag, finally taking Ninjago City after so many tries. Lloyd followed him up on his dragon, and aimed the Ultimate Weapon at the Garma Mecha Man, demanding Lord Garmadon leave Ninjago forever. Garmadon began dropping his weapons and then started walking towards Lloyd, pressuring the Green Ninja into firing the weapon: a light that attracted Meowthra, a giant cat monster. Garmadon took the chance to grab the weapon and aim it at the other Ninjas' mechs, having the cat destroy them. He then used his mech to kick the Green Ninja Mech Dragon off the tower, and some Shark Army members grabbed Lloyd.
Lloyd then revealed he was Garmadon's long-lost son before telling Garmadon that he wished he wasn't his father before escaping. Garmadon then moved his volcano to the tower, and the Shark Army partied there in celebration of their victory yet Garmadon was upset over Lloyd wishing that he was not Lloyd's father. He then called out to his then General Number 1 and asked her if she had captured the Ninja, Master Wu, or Koko like he asked her to, which she didn't as she was busy celebrating with the other Generals, which gets her fired from the volcano.
Personality[]
Like his mainstream version he was seen as Ninjago City's destoryer and tyrant, traveling to Ninjago City on a regular basis to try and conquer the city. However, as the movie goes on, he starts to develop as a person and starts helping Lloyd develop his throwing skills, as well as helping the Secret Ninja Force get to the Temple of Fragile Foundations.
Later he cries into Meowthra when Lloyd apologizes him and redeemeds himself.
Appearance[]
Garmadon wears black samurai armor and a towering horned helmet that makes him appear taller than he really is. He has black skin, four arms, red glowing eyes, a demonic, fanged smile, a black gi with a blue sash underneath his armor, and a blue robe-like garment, just like in 2018 to 2022.
Powers and Abilities[]

- The Ultimate Weapon: for him before using it to order Meowthra to take down all of the other Ninja's mechs, must to Lloyd's sorrow. Garmadon then has his mech kick down Lloyd's dragon mech off the building, destroying it.

| ~ Garmadon discovers that his son is the green ninja after hurting his feelings in The Lego Ninjago Movie. |
| “ | Garmadon: I remember the first time I laid eyes on her. It was during a raging war. I was pillaging a peaceful village with my skeleton army when I spotted this beautiful warrior queen from across a crowded battlefield. She was fighting for good and looking great doing it. Even as she decimated my evil forces, I couldn't take my eyes off her. I was speechless. I summoned all my courage to approach her. I asked her if she fought here often. She said, "I do." And let me tell you, La-Loyd. When our eyes met, sparks flew. It was love at first fight! Your mother and I were a true power couple. I thought we were gonna conquer the world together. It was the happiest time of my life. Lloyd: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. If you guys were so perfect, then why did you leave us? Garmadon: It's… complicated. One day, we came upon Ninjago. I told your mother that I wanted to build our son's future on the ashes of that fine city. But it was at that moment that your mother realized that the life of a conquering warlord was not the life she wanted… for you. I could've changed. But I didn't. And before I knew it… she was gone… and you were gone. La-Loyd, your mom was the best. She expected the best of me and only ever wanted the best for you. I never should have let you go. |
