Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. He appeared in only one mid-sized retail set, making those seeking a complete antagonist collection from this era specifically look for him.
Head
Green face with white eyes and dark green scales/wrinkles. It features a malevolent expression and is topped with a black hood piece (Part 30381).
Torso
Dark green torso with black robes and lime green sash printing. The design includes a circular gold buckle and intricate 'spell-casting' textures. Dark green arms with lime green hands.
Legs
Black dress/robe lower piece (Slope 65 2x2x2) with lime green and gold printing continued from the torso to represent a master's robe.
Accessories
Includes a custom staff made of a reddish-brown branch (Part 15655) with a trans-bright green jewel at the top and a pearl gold stud top for the light.
Color Scheme
Black, Dark Green, and Lime Green with accents of Pearl Gold. This dark, reptilian palette signifies his role as an elemental master of dark magic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and the front face of the robe piece. The alignment between the torso and the dress slope is critical for value.
Variants
There are no official LEGO variants of Clouse. He only ever appeared in this specific robe/hood configuration.
Condition Notes
The dress slope is prone to scratching on the printed face. Check the clips on the staff for stress marks; the 'branch' piece is known to be slightly more brittle than standard bars.

Character Background
Clouse was the right-hand man to Master Chen and a secondary antagonist in the Tournament of Elements. He is a dark sorcerer and the rival of Garmadon.
Design Notes
Uses the sloped brick for the lower body rather than traditional legs to convey a more formal, wizard-like appearance. The printing captures his snake-like corruption perfectly.
Similar Minifigures
Master Chen (njo117), Garmadon (Tournament version), and various Anacondrai Cultists from the same 2015 wave.
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completionists. As a unique named villain with an exclusive head and torso print, he maintains steady value in the secondary market.
History
Clouse was introduced during the peak of Ninjago's 'reboot' success. This figure represents the transition into more complex antagonist designs with specialized robe pieces.
Interesting Facts
In the Ninjago lore, Clouse ended up trapped in the Cursed Realm. This minifigure is one of the few Ninjago characters to use a non-standard leg piece as their default design.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Master Chen and the Condrai Copter. Use a dark background to make the lime green and trans-neon green staff gem 'pop'.
Modification Potential
The head is popular for custom fantasy sorcerers or lizard-man characters. The black hood is a versatile piece for various dark-side MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic figure from a fan-favorite Ninjago era. Its unique printed slope and character-specific staff make it a standout villain in any collection. Rating: 8/10.
