Hc Morro’s sneezes launch him through the air backwards.
Hc Morro likes to read.
Anything and everything, except maybe comics, much to Lloyd’s dismay.
Either way, you should never disturb Morro when he’s lost in a book (and I mean seriously. Never. Unless you have a death wish and/or want to die from a hurricane.)
But why does the grumpy greeny enjoy this hobby so much? There’s a lot of reasons, actually. Some of my personal favorites include:
1. He’s able to escape the real world through literature
2. He learns many new things, since he never got a proper education
3. It gives off the impression that he doesn’t want to be bothered
4. It keeps him entertained when he doesn’t want to be social
5. It provides an easy excuse to avoid social interaction and/or interacting with Lloyd and the ninja
And there are many more, of course. I’m not sure why I think this hobby fits him so well, but I like to think that it was Wu’s fault. He got Morro hooked on reading, after teaching it to him of course, and once he showed interest they went to the library of Domu often. Morro would read the Prophecy of the Green Ninja over and over again, as well as read about Ninjago’s history, different fighting techniques, the predicted heroic tales of the green ninja, etc.
This is also how he appears to be quite knowledgeable, despite never really going to school, and was able to use it to his advantage many times (think, navigating to the Cloud Kingdom and knowing about the realm crystal and it’s capabilities).
Even after he failed at becoming the green ninja, (twice, now,) the habit still stuck, and it’s something he enjoys doing to this day. It surprises everyone, but actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Hmm, I wonder what his favorite book is….
Hc that Morro went to the Cloud Kingdom when he was still alive to sneak a look at his destiny, but was unhappy about it, and ripped up the ending so he could create his own destiny when the time came.
What he didn’t realize, however, is that by doing so, he unintentionally killed his future self, as the last thing written on the scroll was when he was searching through the mines.
But even after his death, he was still able to create his own destiny, just not in the way he expected. To mess with Cloud Kingdom magic is very dangerous, and in this case, it cursed him after he died, sending him to the cursed realm to forever ponder his actions as a ghost.
You know how Wu always left the monastery doors open in hopes Morro would come back? Hc that, the second after Morro died in the Caves Of Dispair, the wind came and blew the doors shut, as if to tell Wu, “no, he’s never coming back”
