Trivia

 * In LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, Chima is one of the 16 Realms.
 * According to Tommy Andreasen, the First Spinjitzu Master may have brought the Serpentine from Chima. One hint at this is the blue orb on Pythor's chest.
 * The creators of Legends of Chima specifically did not include snakes in the TV series because there were already snake people in Ninjago.
 * Chima is a translation that means 'energy horse', this may be a reference to the Speedorz.
 * In the TV Series, Chima is shown to be much smaller than one would think, The Eagle Spires are visible from the Lion Temple, how or why this is is unknown, though one theory may be that Mount Cavora's sphere of influence is quite small.
 * It was revealed in the Season three finale that Chima is a floating island above a much larger world.
 * The Mother Sun is similar to the Preeminent from Ninjago in that both are female deities that have an apparent control over their respective realms and are masters of a large group of beings with unique, distinct powers. Additionally, neither the Preeminent nor Mother Sun is seen talking within the show.
 * The footage of Chima seen in "Curseworld, Part II" is edited stock footage from "Ravens vs. Eagles," the fifteenth episode of Legends of Chima 's first season. In the Ninjago version, Laval and Cragger stop moving after Laval says "where'd you guys come from?", while in the original episode, Laval and Cragger have more lines directly after that.
 * According to Tommy Andreasen, it's possible the Great Devourer from LEGO Ninjago is a Legend Beast.
 * According to Tommy Andreasen, Chima would have been in Season 10 of Ninjago but it did not make the final cut as it was left out during production.
 * There are no dragons in Chima because "Chima is about animals" and "it's more pure without dragons."
 * Legends of Chima and Ninjago exist as fictional worlds within Nexo Knights, another LEGO theme.
 * The TV series was animated by M2Film, the same studio that animated the early Ninjago set commercials.
 * Tommy Andreasen once wrote a crossover with Ninjago, but it was never produced. This would have been the story, as described by Andreasen: "Jay was watching Chima on TV. Dreamed about an adventure with Eris. Other ninja and animals showed up. Spinjitzu vs Chi." "It was a misunderstanding. But there was Chi powered Spinjitzu." "But then [Jay] called Nya Eris by mistake and made her mad."
