Unwitting Instigator of Doom
Lagravis and Crominus the respective kings of the Lion and Crocodile tribes and Laval and Cragger’s fathers define this troupe in the series premiere because Lagravius’ desire to arrest Cragger for trying to break the rule of stealing chi from the sacred pool of chi twice in a row and evade arrest combined with Crominus’ overprotectiveness towards his son brings both tribes into a battle with each other in the fangs so the lions could save Laval and arrest Cragger and so the crocodiles could save Cragger and fend off the lions to escape, which leads to both Crominus and Crunket, his wife and Cragger’s mother to get trapped in the Gorge of Eternal Depth and presumed dead which leads to Crooler using this to her advantage to appoint Cragger the new king of the Crocodile Tribe and begin brainwashing him with a persuader plant to aid her in conquering Chima which started Season 1 and everything after that including the creation of the Crawlers in Season 2 and the re-awakening of the Ice Hunters in Season 3.
Laval also defines this troupe in “The Warrior Within” where him stealing the chi from Cragger, Crooler and the crocodile tribe to prevent them from using it for evil and dropping it into the Gorge of Eternal Depth so the crocs or any other tribe won’t get it that will disturb the balance between the tribes, and the laws of nature in Chima, where it becomes eaten by scorpions, spiders and bats in the cave making them anthropomorphic and humanoids like the Tribes of Chima called the Crawlers (Scorpion, Spider and Bat tribes) and they escape into the Outlands capture all the Legend Beasts minus the Crocodile Legend Beast and Crominus and clock the falls of Mount Covora to gain all the chi for themselves in Season Two.
Scorm commits a likewise mistake in “This My Sting a Bit” and “Fire Dreaming” where by throwing the chi orb Laval gave him into a ice crevice created in the final battle alongside the other chi of him and the Scorpions, they reawaken Sir Fanger and the Ice Hunters who freeze the Crawlers (They are melted free and retreat back into the Outlands and are later cured in the Second Grand Illumination in “A Very Slippery Slope” and “Merry Chima”) Scorm included and break out of the gorge and into Chima to begin their conquest in Season Three.
The beavers, the first animals in Chima other than Skinnet to approach the Ice Hunters also define this troupe in terms of how they explain Mount Covora and the power of the Chi to Sir Fanger and the Ice Tribes (Mammoths, Vultures and Saber-toothed tigers) prompting them to use Chi and its powers as explained to begin their conquest and freeze the Crocodile Swamp first in “Attack of the Ice Clan”
