Dorama's Puppet is a Ninjago Brick-built figure introduced in 2023 in Ninjago: Dragons Rising before physically debuting in 2025.
Background[]
Dorama either built the puppet or had it constructed at some point before he was exposed as a villain. Upon being found out by Arin, Sora, and Riyu, he unleashed the puppet against them. Lloyd Garmadon also joined the battle, but the puppet proved to be a surprisingly formidable foe despite being kept aloft by strings. However, Arin eventually managed to use his Object Spinjitzu to send a projectile flying through the puppet. This was enough to disable the puppet, and Dorama was defeated not long afterwards.
Later, Dorama apparently repaired the puppet and made it capable of moving without the support of strings. He used it to trap "students" for his "acting academy" in the wilds of the Merged Lands. Cole, Zane, Bonzle, and Jiro were among those to be subdued and captured by the puppet. Upon breaking free from confinement later, however, Cole confronted the puppet using his Earth Mech. Between them, the friends managed to overcome the puppet and Dorama's small force of Imperium Droids and defeat them.
At some point, the puppet got one of the Prismatic Blades embedded inside its head. This caused it to move about of its own accord and to fire beams of energy from its eyes. It terrorized a number of people in a relatively desolate area of the Merged Lands before being found by several of the Ninja. Frak, though terrified of the puppet, spotted the glow coming from its head after her and his fellow Ninja had been battling it for some time. He thus climbed into the construct's head and removed the blade, which caused the puppet to collapse lifelessly.
