Designer's notes[]
"This is the biggest dragon I have build to date. It is also the 7th dragon from my side. Making a Skeleton dragon that is buildable and playable at the same time was not an easy task. I knew from the beginning that I wanted the ribcage prominent and with a function to it. The dragon started as a wyvern but because of the size, it would have caused too many sacrifices to keep that silhouette.
Even though this is a Ninjago dragon, I really wanted it to work as a more classic skeleton dragon as well. in this way, it should be able to work in a more classic fantasy castle context.
I Love board games and trying to come up with small play trickers that could support the boardgame play we have in this lineup was very fun and interesting. And figuring out how it can be both a boardgame and a normal playset was a great challenge."[2]
