#great devourer

you ever think about how uncomfortable it must’ve been? living for centuries with this foreign thing inside you, influencing you, waiting for the moment it can finally devour you?

alt. versions:

I know that's what the Ninjago Wiki says, but where is that coming from? In both Season 1 and Season 15, characters (including the Overlord, who would presumably know) use male pronouns when referring to the GD.

On the other hand, Season 7 reveals that the Vermillion come from the Great Devourer -- they're referred to as the "first generation progeny of the Great Devourer" (Skales), they come from "eggs from the Great Devourer" (Ray), and they are a "legion spawned from the Great Devourer" (Krux). This would presumably make the Great Devourer female. But look closely -- what language is actually used? No one outright says that the Great Devourer laid those eggs, at best we get from Ray that they come "from" the Great Devourer. But if the Great Devourer was the *father* of the Vermillion, what would be the change in dialogue? "Eggs fertilized by the Great Devourer"? Cmon of course he wouldn't say that. And the other lines could all apply to the father or mother of the Vermillion. At no point in Ninjago's 15 season run did any character ever use female pronouns to describe the Devourer.

He would've passed the knowledge of this to his sons but certain... circumstances have made him decide otherwise
