A Cragling is a creature from the Ninjago theme native to the Realm of Madness. They are made up of large rocks and boulders, have orange or blue eyes, and usually gather in large groups.
Background[]
In "The Royal Blacksmiths", Sensei Wu and Lord Garmadon fought a large group of orange-eyed Craglings together. Although the Craglings are made of rock, they don't appear to be very strong considering that Sensei Wu destroyed one with a meteor hammer.
In "Beyond Madness", the Craglings are shown to reside in the newly expanded realm of Ninjago, their home now being known as the Kingdom of Madness after merging with the other realms. Blue-eyed, benevolent Craglings ruled over by their king, Crag-Nor, are regrettably menaced by a pair of Earth Dragons intent on devouring the mud from their Sacred Field, burial place of their ancestors. This mud, life source for the Craglings, causes the dragons to grow in size and power even as the Craglings' stone bodies come apart without its power to keep them alive. Fortunately, they are aided in their struggles against the Craglings first by two of the Ninja, Kai and his sister Nya, and later by Lloyd and his trainees. Of the latter, Riyu proves to the key to driving off the Earth Dragons and restoring the energies that had absorbed, allowing the Craglings to return to their peaceful existence.

Crag-Nor
Crag-Nor, king of the Craglings, is a benevolent figure known for his regard for both his people and their allies. He does have somewhat dramatic tendencies, such as removing one of the crystals that serve as his eyes to make a point, and then popping it into his mouth, from which it returns to his eye socket.
