2022 - Released as part of the final wave of the 'Crystalized' season, coinciding with the 11th Anniversary of Ninjago.
Rarity
Uncommon. This figure is exclusive to a single high-priced set (71773), which limits its circulation compared to grunt troops like Vengestone Warriors.
Head
Sand Green head with yellow glowing eyes, black facial markings, and Vengestone crystal protrusions. Characterized by a dual-expression: one angry/shouting, one determined.
Torso
Sand Green torso with muscular printing, cracked rock/crystal textures, and a dark brown belt with tan cloth detailing. Back printing matches the crystalized muscular motif. Arms are Sand Green with Dark Stone Gray hands.
Legs
Sand Green legs with Dark Brown loincloth printing and textured 'Vengestone' patterns on the thighs. Features black line detailing for muscle and stone definition.
Accessories
Includes a unique Dark Orange and Tan shoulder armor/scarf piece featuring molded spikes. This part serves as the character's primary identifying accessory. (Note: Missing weapon in image, which is usually a crystal-themed blade).
Color Scheme
A primary palette of Sand Green, Dark Brown, and Dark Orange, accented by yellow highlights and dark gray/black line work to simulate stone.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso, and front of the legs. The printing is sharp with excellent registration, typical of modern LEGO Ninjago antagonist figures.
Variants
There are no known production variants of njo766, though it shares design motifs with other members of the Crystal King's council.
Condition Notes
The shoulder armor is made of a slightly softer plastic; check for bite marks or warping. Sand Green plastic hides light scratches well but look for cracks in the torso sides.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD | New: $10 - $12 USD. Value is largely driven by exclusivity to one set.
Price (New)
Included in set 71773 (Kai's Golden Dragon Raider), which retailed for $89.99 USD in 2022.

Character Background
Garra Flog is an antagonist in the Ninjago: Crystalized season, serving as a member of the Crystal King's army. He is a high-ranking stone-like humanoid under the command of the Overlord.
Design Notes
Utilizes the specialized 'Council' shoulder mold first introduced for this wave. The design successfully merges organic muscular shapes with inorganic stone/crystal aesthetics.
Similar Minifigures
General Kozu (njo072), Vengestone Warrior (njo753), and General Mr. F (njo762).
Collectibility
Moderate. Desirable for Ninjago completionists who aim to collect the full 'Crystal Council' or army builders seeking high-quality monster figures.
History
Represents the culmination of Ninjago villain design from 2011 to 2022, showcasing significantly higher detail than the earlier Stone Army figures from the 2013 wave.
Interesting Facts
The character's name 'Garra Flog' is often misidentified in early fan leaks as a generic stone warrior, but confirmed through official set descriptions and LEGO media.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside other Crystalized villains on a trans-pink or trans-purple baseplate to simulate the Crystal Kingdom environment.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom fantasy monsters or Orc MOCs due to the Sand Green skin tone and detailed muscle printing.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking antagonist with a unique accessory. While not the most expensive figure, it is a high-quality example of LEGO's modern creature design. Buy if completing the Crystalized roster.
