Oooh I just got Dieselnaught a little while ago, so I can say now that I own this guy. Don't have the other two sets yet, though. If I may say, it looks like the Ninjago version of "don't wear that, you'll poke yer eye out, kid."
I remember getting this one in 70654 back in 2021. I've since amassed a few duplicates, to better populate the display
Ah, Faith!

Maybe he did, and that’s why he now has cybernetic red eyes.
@ItisNoe you’re thinking of Heavy Metal.

Ma dude, Faith is her real name, Heavy Metal is an alias she used to disguise herself.
I’m thinking the muzzle is to keep him from trying to eat everyone’s braaaaaains….
A Dragon Hunter, a very interesting pick given the specificity of the current time of the year and the theme of the upcoming new show ;)
Oh what a Random Minifig of the Day, what a lovely Random Minifig of the Day!

My dude, I’m aware of both those facts, but either way it’s a different minifigure.

And this figure is Muzzle- a completely different character :)
Not having seen the show, and not to make light of conditions, but - does this character vitiligo? And if so, is it the first Lego-character to have it?
Don't make the pun. That fruit hangs way too low.
I just Bricklinked this fig along with all his ilk. A conspiratorial group have instilled themselves as a little side mob in my Mos Eisley MOC.
This is awesome rock'n-roll steampunk Ninjago!
I'm ashamed I ignored this subtheme back in the day. I'm so happy that I was able to collect these sets (beginning circa 2016+) before they became prohibitively expensive.
My favorite is 70605 .
We don't exactly know why Muzzle wears the muzzle but fact is this character doesn't actually speak. Only his buddy Daddy No Legs understands what he 'mumbles'...
Btw, great rmotd, a fine minifigure from a very fine (sub)theme. Got all 3 of him.
Wait, is this almost the first random minifigure of the day to have appeared in more than just a single set? The first for a while, at least, if not the first overall.

The day before that, the Batgirl who appeared only differed from two other versions of the character by the facial expressions on her dual-sided head. And the day after, we got this guy:

Otherwise, yeah, it's been a long string of single-appearance minifigs and minidolls. And one microdoll.
Oh man, forgot to check in last night, I'll keep lore brief.
Long ago, in the First Realm, there lived the Oni and Dragons, ancient creatures of destruction and creation. Long these species were at war. Eventually a child was born of both breeds, the First Spinjitzu Master.
The FSM tried to broker peace between the races, but when they failed to put aside their differences he fled to create his own home in a different realm, and so left for the island of Ninjago. Over time Dragons and Oni would flee the First Realm as well, until eventually most Dragons were left in the first realm and most Oni remained in hiding across the universe.
At some point a new species was developed in the First Realm, now known as the Dragon Hunters. Lead by the Iron Baron, who used threats of the long gone Oni to control the populous, these Hunters used massive diesel engines and machines to capture Dragons to enslave or eat. I don't remember Muzzle very well, but I'm pretty sure his voice was a parody of The Dark Knight Rises version of Bane.

They're not no, they're a member of a species of humans/humanlike individuals (they never get a name beyond 'Hunters' in the theme/show) who all have pale white skin, the orangey bits on this fig are facepaint or something like that.
Customs Agent: "Name?"
Muz: "MmmMMmm"
CA: "Umm...Name?"
Muz: "MMmmMMm!!"
CA (Clearly flustered): "NAME!?!?"
Muz (Removing namesake): "MUZZLE!!!"
CA (Still flustered): "YES..IT IS...NAME!!!":)
Also, why do I picture this guy sounding like Bane?
