LEGO Ninjago 71721 Skull Sorcerer's Dragon

LEGO 71721, Skull Sorcerer's Dragon, depicts a skeletal dragon from the Ninjago theme. Released in 2020, the set contains 1017 pieces and includes 6 minifigures connected with the conflict involving the Skull Sorcerer.

The main subject is the Skull Sorcerer’s dragon, a dark creature from the Ninjago setting. The set emphasizes the fantasy side of the theme, focusing on a buildable antagonist creature rather than a vehicle or a fixed location.

The build uses 1017 pieces to create the dragon and support it with a character selection for play scenes. Together, they provide both hero characters and opposing figures for scenes centered on the dragon.

This set suits Ninjago fans who want a creature model for display, play or collection. The dragon gives the set a strong visual identity, while the minifigure lineup links it directly to character driven storytelling. Within Ninjago, it sits among the fantasy oriented sets built around supernatural enemies.
