The Merlopians are a race of sea folk from the Ninjago franchise. They mostly inhabit the kingdom of Merlopia within the oceans of the Endless Sea. They guarded the Wave Amulet, which was given to them by the First Spinjitzu Master before the creation of Ninjago to protect the world from Wojira.
After the Merge, the Merlopians integrated into human society; some lived in the crossroads, the ocean gang joined the Algae Farmers, etc.
History[]
War of the Nine Days[]
The Merlopians lived in the waters of the Endless Sea, long before the realm of Ninjago was created. The First Spinjitzu Master came across the Merlopians. During the Battle of Nine Days, the First Spinjitzu Master was in an endless war with Wojira, assisted by the King of Merlopia, Nyad, the first Elemental Master of Water, both the Islanders and Merlopians. First Spinjitzu Master was unable to defeat her alone, however; fearing for the future of her allies' survivability, Nyad sacrificed herself by merging with the Endless Sea, putting Wojira in her own slumber.
After Wojira's defeat, the First Spinjitzu Master entrusted the Storm Amulet to the Islanders who would one day be called Keepers of the Storm Amulet of Wojira, and the Wave Amulet to Trimaar's ancestor before leaving to create the realm of Ninjago.
