Thunderfang is the main antagonist of Season 3 of Ninjago: Dragons Rising.
He is a giant, soul-consuming dragon, originally from the First Realm, who is bent on causing as much chaos and destruction as possible and enact revenge on the Source Dragons for denying him the rank of one of them centuries ago. Following his defeat by the Arc Dragon of Focus and subsequent imprisonment beneath the Storm Village, Thunderfang manipulated the Forbidden Five with the promise of sharing more of his power with them in exchange for his freedom.
Following his release however, he drained them from their souls instead and battled against the Ninja in his quest for vengeance against the Source Dragons. He had been defeated for the second time and has since become a spectre in the Spectral Lands, where he started a campaign for his return to power.
He is voiced by Deven Mack, who also voices Nokt and Arin in the same series, and previously voiced The Skull Sorcerer in Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu.
