pyroksenos

Pyroksenos is a fictional element featured in the "Lego Ninjago" media franchise. It is portrayed as a highly unstable and dangerous mineral with potent explosive properties. In the Ninjago universe, pyroksenos is mined from volcanic regions and is sought after by various factions for its destructive potential. Its primary characteristic is its ability to detonate with immense force when exposed to even slight agitation, heat, or impact.

The discovery and subsequent exploitation of pyroksenos have been central to several storylines in Ninjago. It has often been used as a weapon, either in its raw form or as a component in more advanced destructive devices. Characters who have sought or wielded pyroksenos often face ethical dilemmas due to its inherent danger and the destruction it can cause. The element's volatile nature necessitates specialized handling and containment procedures, which are rarely successful in preventing accidental detonations. Its fictional properties serve as a plot device to drive conflict and raise the stakes in the narrative. The visual representation of pyroksenos in the franchise typically involves glowing, red or orange crystals that pulse with energy.
