Year Released
2015. Debuted in Set 70735 Ronin R.E.X. and 70738 Final Flight of Destiny's Bounty during the 'Possession' wave.
Rarity
Uncommon. Exclusive to only two sets from the 2015 wave, both of which were larger mid-to-high price point builds.
Head
A translucent neon green head with a detailed white 'Possessed' mask print that mimics an owl or oni-mask appearance with black eye slits.
Torso
Black torso specifically designed as robes, featuring lime green and gold printing of a dragon-themed Celtic knot (Triskele), tassels, and runes. Black arms with white hands.
Legs
Black sloped lower body element (skirt piece 2x2x2) with detailed printing of green runes and decorative tassels matching the torso design.
Accessories
Typically comes with a black textured conical hat (Coolie Hat). Depending on the set, he carries a translucent neon green ghost sword or specialized ghost weaponry.
Color Scheme
A striking contrast of Black, Lime Green, and Trans-Neon Green, with White and Gold accents for the mask and ornate robe printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on a translucent head. The robe design wraps from the top of the torso down to a unique sloped dress piece, providing a seamless visual flow.
Variants
This is the 'Attila' variant. Other Season 5 ghost figures like Ghoultar or Soul Archer use similar color palettes but have different torso prints, masks, or leg types.
Condition Notes
The white hands are prone to discoloration. The sloped leg piece is sturdy, but the torso-to-skirt connection can develop stress marks if swapped frequently.
Estimated Value
Used complete: $8-$12 USD. New/Mint: $15-$20 USD. Value is steadily increasing as Ninjago collectors look back on the Season 5 aesthetic.
Price (New)
Retail set prices at release: $49.99 (Set 70735) and $119.99 (Set 70738). Not available as a standalone purchase or polybag.

Character Background
Attila is a ghost warrior serving Morro, the Master of Wind. He belongs to the Cursed Realm and sought to help Morro claim the Realm Crystal to release the Preeminent.
Design Notes
One of the first instances of LEGO effectively combining the 2x2x2 slope robe piece with high-detail oriental/fantasy printing for a standard antagonist role.
Similar Minifigures
Soul Archer (njo144), Ghoultar (njo151), Bansha (njo150), and Ming (njo145).
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completionists. The Season 5 'Ghost' aesthetic is widely considered one of the best designed antagonist factions in the theme's history.
History
Part of the 2015 'Possession' wave which introduced the 'Airjitzu' play feature and many translucent elements that have since become iconic Ninjago staples.
Interesting Facts
The runes on his robe are not gibberish; they are based on a specialized alphabet created by Ninjago designers that frequently appears in Season 5 lore.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Morro or atop the Final Flight of Destiny’s Bounty. Lighting it from behind highlights the translucent neon green of the head piece.
Modification Potential
The sloped leg piece and ornate black/green robes are excellent for custom MOCs involving dark mages, sorcerers, or high-fantasy cultists.
Overall Assessment
A visually distinct and beautifully printed minifigure. Its unique mask and seamless robe printing make it a standout 'grunt' figure that punches above its weight in design.
