Contents
Plot
In the mystical land of Chima, Laval the Lion and Cragger the Crocodile are the best of friends. An innocent mischief results in Cragger getting his first experience with the CHI... a powerful sacred resource important to the delicate balance of CHIMA. The CHI gives awesome power to the user but needs to be spent carefully and certainly not by young adventurous animals. The incident leads to disagreements between the Lions and the Crocs, and ultimately to fighting. The two friends try to convince everyone that this is just a big misunderstanding, but an escalating series of unfortunate events push Laval and Cragger apart. In the end, Cragger's parents, the king and queen of the crocodile tribe, fall into the Gorge of Eternal Depth and are lost. The young Cragger is now the new king of the Crocodile tribe. Laval consoles him, but it seems that Crooler, Cragger's sinister twin sister, has other plans.

Errors & Goofs
