Arrakore is a djinn and one of the few known inhabitants of Djinjago to escape from its destruction. After having his hope restored, he began to restore his realm harnessing his wish magic once more.
History
Background
Long ago, he befriended a Djinjagan dragon named Zanth.
Prior to the destruction of Djinjago and its sister realm, the Cursed Realm, Arrakore was in another realm on a long quest. Upon his return, he discovered the ruins of Djinjago and was able to salvage a single grain of sand from his kingdom, securing it in a bottle-shaped necklace. After the Merge, he took shelter in a cave. Aware he couldn't use his magic anymore and there was nothing he could do to restore his homeland, he lost all hope and became pessimistic.
Dragons Rising, Season 1
The Last Djinn
Arrakore noticed Nya, Sora, Riyu, Jiro, and Zanth entering his home and tried to shoo them away by dramatically introducing himself as a powerful being, but instead hit his head on a stalactite. He quickly noticed Zanth, who Nya and Sora thought was also named Sora. Zanth runs right to him and affectionately licks him despite being aware how ticklish he is.
Arrakore explained to Nya and Sora they were cursed for misusing a set of Seeker Stones, thus summoning some Howlers who will haunt them until they have drained their energy, and the only way to defeat them was with djinn wish magic, which is no longer existent. When the Howlers found their location, Nya and Sora asked Arrakore for help on defeating them, but the djinn first declined. But upon realizing hope is what he needed most, he helped the two defeat the Howlers by using their wishes, which also caused the grain of sand to grow larger.
They Call It Doom
After spending some time with Sora, Zanth, Jiro, Riyu and Nya, it was time to say goodbye. Shortly before they left, Arrakore granted Nya's wish to find an object by creating a compass which would show them their way. The wish caused the grain of sand to grow more.
Dragons Rising, Season 3
Fallen Wishes
Arrakore continued to grant wishes which allowed Djinjago to return and bigger than before. Although he refused to grant Dareth's wish to be a Spinjitzu master due to it both being a bad idea and the limitations of his powers. Rox and the Dragonians arrived to force him to fix the yellow Prismatic Blade. Arrakore refused to comply due to knowing the dangers of the blade. Rox threatened to use a triangle prison to make him her servant but he tricked Rox into wishing the Ninja were here but only summoned Nya, Sora, and Riyu. Sora tried to wish for Rox and her allies to disappear, but Arrakore was too weak to grant a big wish and was forced to grant small wishes. Rox managed to break free and sneak up on Arrakore to imprison him in the triangle, who forced him to repair the Prismatic Blade and freeze the Ninja. Sora realized Arrakore's prison is tech so she used her Technology to break it, allowing him to escape. Although Rox and the others still had the blade.
Appearance
Like all djinns, Arrakore has four arms and a mist-like tail. He has red skin and long white hair tied in a ponytail by a gray scrunchie, in addition to black eyebrows and a small mustache and goatee. His attire consists of a blue-gray robe with four sleeves and tawny trims over a copper colored shirt and tied by a dark brown cloth. He carries a sand from Djinjago in a bottle-shaped necklace. The necklace was a blue bottle with a single range grain of sand, which became an orange and red rock.

Powers and abilities
- Djinn physiology: As a Djinn from Djinjago, Arrakore's powers are unmatched compared to the people of Ninjago. He also has the following abilities:
- Wish Magic - Thanks to the Djinjago sand and Sora restoring his hope, Arrakore can utilize his wish magic for others. Unlike Nadakhan, who decides to twist the wish in a cruel way, he grants them exactly as the person wanted, which benefits them.
- Weapon creation - He can create weapons if someone's wish involves them.
- Flight/Levitation - Like other djinns, Arrakore can fly and float in mid-air.
- Teleportation - As a Djinn, he can teleport to anywhere he desires.
- Wish Magic - Thanks to the Djinjago sand and Sora restoring his hope, Arrakore can utilize his wish magic for others. Unlike Nadakhan, who decides to twist the wish in a cruel way, he grants them exactly as the person wanted, which benefits them.
- Fighting Skills - Arrakore has some degree of fighting, being able to hold his own against the Howlers.
- Cooking - Arrakore has some experience in cooking during his time in his sanctum.[1]
- Singing - Arrakore has some experience in singing during his time in his sanctum.[1]
Weaknesses
- Overexertion - If he goes too far, Arrakore would tire himself to the point of passing out.
- Emotional state (formerly) - Because hope and wishing are connected, he couldn't use his magic when he lost any hope until Sora helped him.
- Connection to Djinjago (formerly) - Djinjago is the source of all djinn magic and because of its destruction except a grain of sand in a bottle, Arrakore couldn't use his magic until the grain turned into a rock. Even when Djinjago was much bigger than before, it was nowhere near its former glory.

Trivia
- Arrakore's jigsaw puzzle of the puppy with dynamite in his mouth is the same picture Killow can be seen painting in "Questing for Quests."
- Arrakore is very ticklish to the point where he tells Zanth not to lick him.
- Unlike the royal house of Djinjago, his skin is red instead of orange.
- It is currently unknown if orange and red are the only skin colors of djinns or if they could have other skin colors that have not yet been revealed.
- Unlike Nadakhan, Arrakore doesn't have the limit of three wishes.[2]
- Also, unlike Nadakhan who was forced to grant any wish that he heard, Arrakore can refuse to grant wishes, either if they are beyond his capability, or if he feels they are not a good idea, or if the wishers don’t have pure intentions.
- When asked if Arrakore would bring back the inhabitants of Djinjago, as there was hope for the restoration of the realm, Chris "Doc" Wyatt stated that although Arrakore has the ability to do so, he couldn't reveal whether or not the inhabitants will actually be revived.[3][4]
- Arrakore's design was slightly changed in season 3, with his djinn tail redesigned to closer match the Djinns from the original series.
