History Characters / PowerRangersSPD

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: It was destroyed in the finale by the combine efforts of the compromised Delta Command Megazord and the A-Squad Megazord]].

* FinishingMove: At full power, the Delta Command Megazord can fire a powerful energy wave from its chest.

* MoralMytopia: Conquering and destroying planets and abusing his minions is totally fine by him, but Cruger cutting off one of his horns trying to stop him (while he also invaded his homeworld) is considered an unforgivable slight to the point where he vows to spite him in any way he can, in addition to killing him.

* {{Expy}}: A CompositeCharacter of two characters from different ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' series.

** The rest of it's attributes come from [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Wicked Life God Dezumozorlya]] (who did not have a direct counterpart in ''Dino Thunder''), being a visceral, tentacled entity worshipped by the villain faction.

* TheManBehindTheMan: We don't learn Gruum is its minion until the very end of the series.

* WalkingSpoiler: Only appears in 3 episodes, but plays an important role over all in the final episodes.

* DemotedToExtra: Like [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Gluto]] and [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Captain Mutiny]] before him, Broodwing's Sentai counterpart Agent Abrera was the BigBad. Unlike Gluto and Captain Mutiny, though, Broodwing was still a major antagonist throughout the season.

* MakeMyMonsterGrow: In a rare occurrence to a series that mostly averts this trope. Broodwing has a bat come from his swarm to bite the MonsterOfTheWeek, making the monster grow.

* CanonForeigner: They were created exclusively for S.P.D and have no Sentai counterpart.

* DegradedBoss: The first Orange-Head was a secondary MonsterOfTheWeek, being strong enough to require the canine cannon to destroy it.

* NonLethalKO: Every evil alien S.P.D fights against are ''captured'' in a giant explosion via confinement cards. [[SetSwordsToStun Even Cruger's Shadow Saber merely captures the perps.]] The only other Ranger team to do this are the '"Time Force'' Rangers (and unlike Time Force, [[{{Bowdlerize}} this was not carried over from the Sentai.]])

* IHaveManyNames: In the video game adaptation, Praxis was miscorrectly called Salimoht.

* CanonForeigner: He had no ''Dekaranger'' counterpart as he was made from leftover costume bits from previous Power Ranger monsters.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Enhanced human in Dekaranger, alien in SPD.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: He grew in Dekaranger by gulping down a handful of pills. Probably because this was too imitable, in SPD he just uses an electronic growth device instead.

* DemotedToExtra: Downplayed. His ''Dekaranger'' counterpart appeared in a two parter, where Sinuku appeared in one as the aforementioned episodes were compressed.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In Dekaranger, he realized where his machines failed [[TheAtoner and turned himself in]]. Here, he is simply contained like a regular criminal.

* TheWorfEffect: The first one outclassed the Omegamax Megazord in their fight, but was overwhelmed when the Delta Squad Megazord showed up and [[CombiningMecha combined with it to form the Delta Max Megazord]]. The second one was very powerful against the three Megazords initially, but was outclassed when the SWAT Megazord arrived and used its SWAT Flyer Cannon mode.

-> '''Voiced by:''' Jason Hoyte/Wally Wingert (Super Legends)

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's unknown what happened to him after Jack defeated him, but it's all possible he was arrested for attacking him.

* AdaptationalVillainy: While his ''Dekaranger'' counterpart reformed later on, he debuted and staye bad guy till the bitter end as he was simply a creation of Mora as opposed to an alien.

A lobster/fiddler crab-themed mecha. The pilots inclined a Bluehead Kryobot and Ringbah.

[[spoiler:The A-Squad's Megazord that was provided by Emperor Gruum.]]

* GreenAndMean: Him being green just makes his skeletal appearance seem even creepier.

* ArchEnemy: He and Cruger share an intense loathing for one another, given how Grumm destroyed his homeworld. Grumm's enmity is ultimately pettier by comparison, since Cruger cut off one of his horns, leaving his helmet assymetrical. Despite that, Cruger is the only member of SPD whose name he bothers remembering, and he only ever leaves his ship for the sole purpose of battling him after he becames the Shadow Ranger.

* {{Expy}}: A CompositeCharacter of two (or perhaps three) characters from different ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' series.
** The majority of its character comes from [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan The Omnipotent God]], staying behind the scenes for the majority of the series, letting another villain (Emperor Gruumm[=/=]Fuhrer Hell Satan) command in it's place, only to usurp said villain near the end.
** The rest of it's attributes, however, come from [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Wicked Life God Dezumozorlya]], acting as a replacement for the latter (who did not have a direct counterpart in ''Dino Thunder'').
** It being the villain's spaceship, only to turn into a giant monster to fight the Rangers, mirrors Vulgyre from ''Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman''.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere He doesn't show up at all until the 35th (out of 38) episode

** Even Sky's other counterpart, Tetsu, was only a jerk for about one episode due to his upbringing before he realized he was barking up the wrong tree and decided to make himself into Ban's [[SenpaiKohai junior]]. At most, Sky traces a bit of Tetsu's backstory and his attitude during his debut episode, but that's about where the similarities stop.

%%* SharpDressedMan

--> '''Bridge:''' That's ridiculous. I can say "buttery" without - ''([[IResembleThatRemark wiggles fingers]])''

* MemeticHandGesture: He is physically compelled to wiggle his fingers when saying "Buttery." He can't stop himself, even when he tries.
--> '''Sky:''' He can't help himself. It's ingrained in his cellular makeup.
--> '''Bridge:''' That's ridiculous. I can say "buttery" without - ''([[IResembleThatRemark wiggles fingers]])''

!!Boom [-(Actor: Kelson Henderson)-]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/boom_6.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YasuhiroTakato (Japanese dub)

--> ''I'd be psyched if I were the Red Ranger!''
--> ''You'd be psyched if you were the Pink Ranger...!''
--> ''({{Beat}}) True...''

A former SPD cadet who flunked out of the Academy only a few days in and serves as Kat's assistant and Chief Gadget Tester.

* AscendedFanboy: He's a fanboy, all right, but the "Ascended" part is averted; he's one of the few cast members that ''doesn't'' get a morpher at some point.
* BadassNormal: Despite getting kicked out of the academy, not being a Ranger and never showing superhuman abilities, Boom proves his skills during the final battle with a RousingSpeech and manages to get through without a scratch on him. Of note is the fact that in the first episode, he was throwing around the three best students at the academy like they were rag-dolls during a training simulation.
* TheChewToy: He tends to be on the receiving end of Kat's experiments, regardless of whether or not it was intended to do something painful to him.
* EinsteinHair: Boom works in a weapons laboratory (albeit as the assistant and test subject), and his hair is often uncombed and sticking up a little.
* RousingSpeech: Delivers one before the final battle, convincing everyone to stay and fight. Oddly enough, this speech has more of a GoYeHeroesGoAndDie vibe, yet no one runs away after he gives it.
* PluckyComicRelief: From start to finish, [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass though he does have his moments]].
* WellDoneSonGuy: Boom dons a Power Ranger costume (one without actual powers) to make his parents think that he's a Power Ranger and not a washout when they come for a visit.

[[folder:R.I.C.]]
!!R.I.C. (Robotic Interactive Canine)
[[quoteright:282:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ric.jpg]]

A robotic canine that serves as the Rangers Canine Cannon after being upgraded into R.I.C. 2.0. He later served as Jack's Battlizer armor after another upgrade.

* {{BFG}}: He turns into one, aka the Canine Cannon.
* BigFriendlyDog: Robotic version.
* CloudCuckooLander: At first.
* DoAnythingRobot: Even after he was rebuilt, he had a list of auxiliary functions a mile long.
* HeroicDog: He's a heroic robot dog.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[WeCanRebuildHim He gets better]] though.
* KarmicJackpot: They wanted to junk R.I.C., but rebuilt him instead. Besides the help and saves he gave throughout the series, in the final episodes, summoning R.I.C. freed Kat and Boone after Broodwing's takeover of the S.P.D. Base/Zord, enabling them to shutdown power to the Zord, enabling B-Squad to overcome A-Squad, Broodwing, and Broodwing's Generals. The outcome of the series rested on loyalty to a dog they wanted to put down.
* RetCanon: R.I.C.'s sentai counterpart Murphy also becomes capable of turning into the red ranger's battlelizer during the ''[[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Magiranger]] vs. Dekaranger'' team up movie which premiered the same year as S.P.D.
* RobotDog: He's a robot and shaped and programmed as dog.
* TeamPet: To SPD.
* ThereWasADoor: The first time they use his tracking capabilities, he's so eager to go he crashes through a metal door while it's still closed. Later in the episode, when he hears Syd is in trouble, he smashes through the now-fixed door ''again''.
-->'''Cruger:''' I just had that fixed.
* WeCanRebuildHim: After his damaged saving Syd, he was to be thrown away. Syd was too grateful that she got Bridge and Boom to rebuild him. He becomes both a finishing weapon and Jack's Battlizers.

[[folder:Sergeant Silverback]]
!!Sergeant Silverback [-(Voice actor: John Tui)-]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prspd_al_silverback.jpg]]

* AlliterativeName: Played with, unless Sergeant is his first name.
* BackForTheFinale: He shows up as part of the SPD reinforcements in the finale.
* BullyBulldog: Owns a bulldog version of R.I.C.
* DrillSergeantNasty: As shown in the episode focused on him.
* MeaningfulName: Silverback is a gorilla.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Like every DrillSergeantNasty in the last few decades, he's basically an Creator/RLeeErmey caricature.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: He helps bring the rangers together and builds their stamina through his training, but only after threatening their dismissal from the academy.
* TalkingAnimal: He's a gorilla.

[[folder:Supreme Commander Birdy]]

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/commander_birdie.jpg]]

-> ''I still think there are certain areas in which S.P.D. could be improved...like, for example, the Supreme Commander staying out of his best commander's business.''

The Supreme Commander of SPD, and Cruger's boss.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Numa-Oh in ''Dekaranger'' was never even close to how much of a jerk and obstructive commander Birdie was at first.
* BadassBureaucrat: He has ''many'' flaws, but cowardice isn't one of them. He's willing to take the fight to Gruumm personally.
* BigGood: Of SPD as a whole.
* BirdPeople: He's a bird.
* CurbStompBattle: On the receiving end of one, courtesy of Emperor Gruumm himself.
* MeaningfulName: ''Fowl''er ''Bird''y.
* TheNeidermeyer: At first.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: In his first appearance, he acts as this towards Cruger and his team. By the end of the episode, he realizes his mistake and promises to keep out of B-team's way.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Happens once.
* RetiredBadass: Per Bridge's appearance in ''Operation Overdrive'', Fowler eventually left SPD and went to [[OnlyInFlorida live in Miami]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Shintaro Ohata (Japanese dub)

--> ''What have I done? I'm a filthy, slime-ridden, low-life, worm-eating vermin! All right, so I was that ''before'' I betrayed the Rangers.''

A friend of Z's who serves as an informant of SPD. However, he secretly works for Emperor Gruumm and Broodwing.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: All of his direct interactions with Syd, from seemingly checking her out to blowing a kiss at her, suggests he has something of a crush on her. If so, it's a crush Syd more than likely doesn't reciprocate given she openly calls him disgusting, [[InsultBackfire something he finds flattering]].
* BigDamnHeroes: In the finale, he dresses as a Krybot and shoots down the rest of the squad sent to execute the depowered S.P.D.
* CanonForeigner: Has nothing remotely close to an inspiration in Dekaranger.
* DirtyCoward: The only reason he's helping all sides is fear of what either one could do to him.
* DoubleAgent: ''Triple'' agent for Gruumm, Broodwing, and SPD.
* FateWorseThanDeath: He says he'd rather be vaporized by either Gruumm or Broodwing than be imprisoned within one of the Rangers' cards.
* GiveMeASign: In the finale, Piggy's guilty over betraying the Rangers and shouts this. [[LaserGuidedKarma His food cart is promptly struck by lightning, sent careening down a hill, and explodes]].
* TheRat: Pretty much his role throughout the series.
* WildCard: See DoubleAgent above.

[[folder:T-Top]]
!!T-Top
-> '''Voiced by:''' Mark Wright
An intergalactic bounty hunter in search of Hydrax, but was mistaken as a criminal by the Rangers.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In ''Dekaranger'' he was a vandal with a FreudianExcuse. In ''SPD'' he's a bounty hunter (though a bullheaded one) tracking down a dangerous thief.
* AntiVillain: He was a bounty hunter that was looking for the real bank robber, Hydrax. He only fought against the Rangers due to the Rangers (minus Bridge) thinking he was the bank robber, and that Broodwing forced him to grow giant sized.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: He has one on his wrist that is strong enough to cut through steel.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Z calls him T-Top because she has trouble with his actual name. It sticks.
* TheScapegoat: Was made to be the bank robber due to the Ranger's wrong interpretation, and that Hydrax tried to frame him.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Even if he was not the bank robber, he was still punished for causing destruction around New Tech City, albeit being banned from going back to Earth instead of being confined in a card like Hydrax.

[[folder:Katana]]
!!Katana
-> '''Voiced by:''' Jeremy Birchall
A samurai themed alien landed in Kyoto, Japan many years ago. He is brought to the future through a time portal.

* AntiVillain: Yeah he did fight against the Rangers, but only because Broodwing manipulated him.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Due to originating from feudal Japan, Katana had no idea what a Power Ranger was. This made him easy for Broodwing to manipulate him.
* NobleDemon: At one point, he knocked Jack's weapons out of his hands, only to give them back to him not long after.
* {{Samurai}}: Sports the appearance of one.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite being a MonsterOfTheWeek, his second time portal led to a ball of light exiting not long after he departed.

!!Loved Ones
[[folder:Isinia Cruger]]
!!Isinia Cruger
-> '''Voiced by:''' Tandi Wright
Doggie Cruger's wife. Missing and presumed dead when Cruger's species was massacred. She is later revealed to be alive.

* TheLostLenore: Cruger believed that Isinia died in the fall of Sirius and kept her memory alive. It turns out she was still alive all these years and Gruumm was keeping her prisoner.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Not much is known about Isinia except she is Cruger's wife.

[[folder:Ally Samuels]]
!!Ally Samuels (Creator/BethAllen)
A civilian who starts dating Jack in the final episodes.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Like Jack, Ally is introduced while gathering clothes to donate to the homeless, and they develop feelings for each other quickly.
* HairOfGold: Ally is a charitable, blonde-haired girl who's only mildly reproachful when Jack's duties interfere with their dating.
* UptownGirl: Ally's father owns the department store where she gets the clothes to donate, and she's happy dating the lower-class Jack.

!Troobian Empire
!!Leadership
[[folder:Emperor Gruumm]]

!!Emperor Gruumm [-(Voice actor: Rene Naufahu)-]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gruumm.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Tetsuo Komura (Japanese dub)

--> ''You returned with nothing. [[YouHaveFailedMe Therefore, you shall be nothing.]] [..] I need another.''

The leader of the Troobian Empire whose ultimate goal is to conquer other worlds. He sets Earth as his next target.

* ArchEnemy: He and Cruger share an intense loathing for one another, given how Grumm destroyed his homeworld. Grumm's enmity is ultimately pettier by comparison, since Cruger cut off one of his horns, leaving his helmet assymetrical. Despite that, Cruger is the only member of SPD whose name he bothers remembering, and he only ever leaves his ship for the sole purpose of battling him after he becames the Shadow Ranger.
* BadassBiker: When he actually fights. Only Cruger outclasses him.
* BadBoss: Gruumm likes to beat up or destroy minor henchmen who offer bad suggestions or fail to defeat the Rangers. He also constantly gets upset when Mora demands to be treated more seriously and threatens to transform her back into the adult body she hates, eventually going through with that threat.
* BladeOnAStick: His primary weapon.
* BigBad: Leader of the Troobian Empire who plans to take over the Earth. [[spoiler: That said, he's revealed to have a master.]]
* TheBully: His interactions with his minions and Piggy show him to be this. He pushes them around and threatens them because he knows they can't really do anything to him. This is probably shown best when he steals a doll from Mora just so he can have it as a trophy.
* CanonForeigner: He and his empire have no counterpart in ''Dekaranger''.
* TheComicallySerious: In his interactions with Mora, doing things like forcing Broodwing into a tea party with her or playing with a toy.
* DisproportionateRetribution: His long enmity with Cruger comes from a battle where Cruger cut one of his horns off. [[spoiler: [[LaserGuidedKarma He loses the other one]] in the FinalBattle.]]
* EnemyToAllLivingThings : ''Flowers wither'' in his presence when he first arrives to Earth.
* {{Expy}}: Arguably to [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan Fuhrer Hell Satan]], considering his role in relation to [[spoiler: Omni]].
* FashionableAsymmetry: Cruger cut off his right horn. Does little to diminish his appearance.
* GalacticConqueror: Has conquered many worlds, boasted entire galaxies, prior to coming to Earth. [[OddlySmallOrganization What he has for an army doesn't reflect this]].
* GeniusBruiser: He is a formidable fighter, and also a schemer who successfully got Cruger to send the A-Squad away from Earth by attack elsewhere before launching his invasion. Despite the defeats his underlings suffer, he manages to score victories by using a MonsterOfTheWeek as a distraction while he takes resources from Earth.
* GetItOverWith: "Show me no mercy, Cruger! No mercy!" [[spoiler: Depending on your definition, Cruger doesn't - he lops off the other horn and imprisons him.]]
* GlowingEyesOfDoom / RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are glowing red.
* GutturalGrowler: All of his dialogue is spoken with this voice.
* HateSink: He destroyed hundreds of planets, killed nearly the whole population of at least one (because of his personal grudge against Cruger), and treated his minions unfairly. He stands out as one of the most irredeemable villains in the history of the franchise.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: He launches schemes that steal resources from Earth in addition to the typical MonsterOfTheWeek plans, which eventually causes the Rangers to realize he has a secret plan since he could just destroy the planet from orbit like he did to one he deemed of no value in the first episode. [[spoiler: Turns out that was to build a body for Omni.]]
* ItsPersonal: He harbors a longstanding personal grudge against Cruger relating to his missing horn. Said horn was chopped off by Cruger's Shadow Saber when the two faced each other in battle an unspecified number of years prior to the start of the series.
* LargeHam: You can count the number of times he doesn't ham up the scenery on your fingers.
* LastVillainStand: [[spoiler:After the rest of his army has been defeated and captured and [[GreaterScopeVillain Omni]] has been destroyed, Gruumm emerges from the rubble and challenges Cruger to a final battle.]]
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Insists that only he is allowed to defeat Cruger, to the point where he has told underlings to stay away from him because he wants to kill him himself.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Naturally being a Power Rangers BigBad, he rarely gets up to face the Rangers himself, but to his credit he is more active than the typical main villain for the franchise.
* OriginalGeneration: No Sentai counterpart for him.
* TalkingToThemself: Early in the series, there were brief moments where Gruumm would sit alone in a dark room, seemingly talking with himself regarding the Rangers and how to defeat them. [[spoiler:The end of Shadow Part 2 reveals that in reality, someone or something is in the room with him. It would later turn out to be the room in which he speaks with Omni.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: He decides to stop paying Broodwing for his services that his minions can't afford and demands ''free'' weapons, anathema to an OnlyInItForTheMoney arms dealer, but considering the fact that Gruumm was paying good money for robots and weapons that consistently get destroyed despite Broodwing's improvements and insistence otherwise, one can't blame him for deciding to stop throwing away money.
* VillainousValor: For all his faults, cowardice isn't one of them. Despite previously losing against Cruger, he relishes the chance to fight him again. [[spoiler: Even when the rest of his army is defeated he refused to give up.]]
* VillainsWantMercy: Inverted. Gruumm refuses Cruger's help when he seems to fall to his doom and when he loses the final battle, he insists that Cruger show him no mercy and finish him off, becoming pissed off when he realizes that instead he's been imprisoned.
* WreckedWeapon: [[spoiler:Cruger ends their final showdown fairly decisively by breaking his staff in two]].
* YouHaveFailedMe: He's not afraid to murder the people who fail him, be they his own robots or hired mercenaries.

[[folder:The Magnificence '''(SPOILERS!)''']]
!!Omni / The Magnificence [-(Voice actor: Geoff Dolan)-]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hqdefault_981.jpg]]

A giant brain housed in a orb tank in a room on Gruumm's spacecraft, and the secret leader of the Troobian Army.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: The Magnificance as he calls it, a body that Gruumm made from his ship. It's even larger than the Delta Command Megazord.
* TheCorrupter: Well, Mora was already evil, but exposure to Omni's gases made her lose interest in her childish ideals, even tossing away her doll.
* {{Expy}}: A CompositeCharacter of two (or perhaps three) characters from different ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' series.
** The majority of its character comes from [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan The Omnipotent God]], staying behind the scenes for the majority of the series, letting another villain (Emperor Gruumm[=/=]Fuhrer Hell Satan) command in it's place, only to usurp said villain near the end.
** The rest of it's attributes, however, come from [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Wicked Life God Dezumozorlya]], acting as a replacement for the latter (who did not have a direct counterpart in ''Dino Thunder'').
** It being the villain's spaceship, only to turn into a giant monster to fight the Rangers, mirrors Vulgyre from ''Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman''.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Spends the majority of the show offscreen, and as a result, when he ''does'' show up, he doesn't display much of a personality.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere He doesn't show up at all until the 35th (out of 38) episode
* GreaterScopeVillain: It only appears in 3 episodes and speaks in 2 of them, but it is Gruumm's master and all of the plans were to turn Gruumm's ship into a new body for it.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Refuses to allow Gruumm to kill Cruger and the Power Rangers when he has the chance, until The Magnificance is completed. This allows Piggy to sneak aboard the ship and free the Rangers.
* WalkingSpoiler: Only appears in 3 episodes, but plays an important role over all in the final episodes.

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/morgana_fight_mode.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto (both forms, Japanese dub)

A 10 year old girl who serves as Gruumm's monster creator. Her real form is a young women named Morgana, although she hates being in that age.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: She looks human, though she's capable of bringing monsters to life and energy blasts. Although given the season's setting, she could be an alien.
* ArtInitiatesLife: Can [[MakerOfMonsters create monsters from her drawings]].
* AscendedExtra: Morgana's ''Dekaranger'' counterpart was simply one of the three villains of [=DekaBreak=]'s introductory arc (explaining why she was active when Shorty and Devastation showed up) and later showed up in the ''Abaranger'' crossover. She's one of the core villains in ''SPD''.
* BrattyHalfPint: As Mora, though she retains this personality as Morgana.
* TheBaroness: Morgana fits the sexpot variety, but for some reason sees herself as ugly and wants to remain young. She's also shown to have NoSenseOfPersonalSpace when she uses her body to pin Z against a tree after combat.
* CompositeCharacter: Her design is taken from ''Dekaranger''[='=]s Reversian Hell Succubus, but her personality, change between a bratty child-like form and a still-bratty adult form were all taken from [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Apostle of Dawn Lije/Lijewel]], whose character went unadapted in ''Power Rangers Dino Thunder''.
* CreepyChild: As Mora.
* DarkActionGirl: As Morgana.
* TheDragon: Gruumm's primary henchwoman throughout the series.
* DroppedABridgeOnHer: She shows up in ''one'' scene in the last episode and is arrested, then not spoken of or referenced again.
* EnfantTerrible: As Mora, displaying a total lack of regard for anyone else and treating people as toys.
* GrowingUpSucks: So much that it is used ''as a punishment''.
* ImmortalImmaturity: Quite literally wants to be a little kid ''forever'', which would make her effectively immortal. She also keeps acting childish even when she is returned to being Morgana, which is implied to be her real form.
* InexplicablyAwesome: How she is able to create monsters is never explained.
* ItsPersonal: She holds a grudge against Z for zapping her beloved doll Cindy Sunshine in "Sam"
* MeaningfulName: Mora comes from the word "Morado", which is the Spanish word for "Purple", and she wears purple clothes in her adult form.
* MysteriousPast: Who she was and why she wants to remain a child were never explored. Cruger seems to have known her prior to the series, but it never goes any further than that.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Compared to the other actors, her New Zealand accent really stands out.
%%* OlderThanTheyLook: Justified as Mora is actually an adult woman who wants to remain young.
* PsychopathicWomanchild: As Morgana she retains much of Mora's childishness and all her sociopathy.
* PurpleIsPowerful: As Morgana, she wears a purple battlesuit and is quite powerful as she was capable of martial arts and energy projection.
* TattooedCrook: She has a purple lightning bolt tattoo under her left eye. It's significance and how she got are never brought up.
* WorkingForABodyUpgrade: Well, ''she'' considers it an upgrade.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/full_0.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasamiIwasaki (Japanese dub)

--> '' That was not a very clever plan you had, Broodwing. If the Rangers find out about you. It may jeopardize my mission.''
--> '' Understood your excellence. I'm just trying to make a living.''
--> ''I do A LOT of business with you, did you show no allegiance? The highest bidder gets your devotion. I should end our relationship now… for your betrayal.''
--> '' Or you could just pay me more.''

A three-eyed vampire bat-like alien who is encased in an artificial environment as demonstrated by the jar on his head. He serves as the Troobian Empire's arms dealer, providing robots and weapons to use.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's still a greedy ArmsDealer with no good inside him, but Abrella also did it for the fun of it as well and has supported and assisted in even the most severe and perverted crimes. Given some of the Alienizer crimes would not be appropriate for this family-oriented adaptation, Broodwing is a lesser known criminal who works for the highest bidder instead of the leader of a criminal empire.
* ArmsDealer: His job.
* BadassCape: His outfit has one.
* BatOutOfHell: He appears to be an alien bat monster. He has a swarm of bats follow him whose bites can cause growth.
* BigBadWannabe: Once he turns against Gruumm, he tries to conquer Earth himself. While Broodwing proves a legimate threat, he is never able to pose the same threat Gruumm is.
* DemotedToExtra: Like [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Gluto]] and [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Captain Mutiny]] before him, Broodwing's Sentai counterpart Agent Abrera was the BigBad. Unlike Gluto and Captain Mutiny, though, Broodwing was still a major antagonist throughout the season.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The above conversation, quoted from "A-Bridged"; Broodwing's loyalty belongs to whoever pays him well enough.
* EvilVersusEvil: He eventually turns against Gruumm, but only because he was pissed at Gruumm refusing to pay him. He's still against the Rangers partly because he knows defeating them would make Gruumm look like a laughingstock, and partly because he knows he can't buy them off.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: In a rare occurrence to a series that mostly averts this trope. Broodwing has a bat come from his swarm to bite the MonsterOfTheWeek, making the monster grow.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Unlike most villains in Power Rangers, he just wants profit.
%%* SharpDressedMan
* SmugSnake: He likes to talk a big game about his robots and weapons, but the Rangers keep tearing through them time and time again, no matter how powerful they are or who utilized them (even Broodwing himself couldn't beat them with one of his own robots). In fact, it was this little fact combined with the expensiveness of said arsenal that caused Gruumm to refuse to pay him anymore if his monsters can't afford it.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Like every other bad guy who got confined to a card.
* TheStarscream: Unlike most versions, he's not interested in taking Gruumm's place, but wanted him out as payback for refusing to pay for his services any longer.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Can shift his arms into a set of wings, or take the form of a swarm of bats.

!!The A-Squad
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/asquad.jpg]]

The elite team of Power Rangers SPD had and were the first active squad of Rangers seen when the season began.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Was this to the main heroes.
* AllThereInTheScript: Charlie's name is only mentioned in the end credits.
* BreakTheHaughty: At first, their superior skills were able to best B-Squad, and they even taunted them for being nothing but back ups. However, the B-Squad quickly proved them wrong with S.W.A.T mode, not only besting them on the ground, but in the Megazord fight.
* {{BFG}}: Their main weapons are some very big guns.
* CanonForeigner: They were created exclusively for S.P.D and have no Sentai counterpart.
* DirtyCop: A whole team of them.
* FaceHeelTurn: They willingly join Gruumm and were NotBrainwashed, although the comic adaptation retcons this to BrainwashedAndCrazy.
* FlatCharacter: Due to the short amount of screen time they have as villains, they have no real characterization beyond being egotistical evil rangers who switched sides.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the first episode, Bridge says their colors are a little off. Fast forward to later in the series and they're revealed to be working for the BigBad.
* NotBrainwashed: They're the first rangers to turn evil of their own volition, instead of being brainwashed or created to be evil.
* PsychoRangers: After their FaceHeelTurn.
* RetCanon: The concept of team members going bad is used as a major plot in the ''Dekaranger'' 10th anniversary movie (though there it's only the new red and yellow rangers).
* SmugSnake: All of them are very confident in their abilities. Charlie, as the leader, voices it most.
* TokenNonHuman: The A-Squad Blue Ranger is the only member who is an alien.
* TomboyishName: Charlie, [[SamusIsAGirl the red ranger]].
* URExample: Charlie is the first ever female red ranger in both sides of the pacific.

!!Mooks
[[folder:Krybots]]
!!Krybots
Robotic drones that serve as the Troobian Empire's grunt force.

* ArmCannon: They are armed with mounted blasters on their hands
* {{Mooks}}: For the Troobian Empire.

[[folder:Blue-Head Krybots]]
!!Blue-Head Krybots
->'''Voiced by:''' Derek Judge
Elite versions of the normal Krybots that serve as Emperor Gruumm's personal guards.

* DegradedBoss: The first Blue-Head was a MonsterOfTheWeek.
* EliteMooks: They are a step up from a normal Krybot. They also occasionally pilot giant robots.
* FakeUltimateMook: By the second half of the series they are treated no differently than normal Krybots, to the point that people without powers and unmorphed rangers can easily defeat them.
* WhatMeasureIsAMook: If they fail Emperor Gruumm, he will destroy them, reducing them to a small metal chip, then turn that chip into a fresh new Blue-Head.

[[folder:Orange-Head Krybots]]
!!Orange-Head Krybots
->'''Voiced by:''' James Gaylyn
Elite versions of both the normal Krybots and the Blue-Head Krybots.

* ConservationofNinjutsu: How much of a threat these pose depends on their numbers. If there is just one of them, they prove a challenge. If a large number of them appear, the Rangers will use a power up to mow them down.
* DragonInChief: The first one served as this to Bugglesworth. Bugglesworth had no real capacity to fight, but the Orange-Head easily beat the Rangers in their initial battles.
* DegradedBoss: The first Orange-Head was a secondary MonsterOfTheWeek, being strong enough to require the canine cannon to destroy it.
* EliteMooks: They are the most powerful grunts Gruumm has. Every time they appear, the Rangers have a hard time defeating one. (At least initially, averted in future appearances.)
* FakeUltimateMook: By the second half of the series they are treated no differently than normal Krybots, to the point that people without powers and unmorphed rangers can easily defeat them.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Of these was the first villain to hand the Rangers a defeat.
* TheWorfEffect: [[KingpinInHisGym Morgana is seen easily destroying these]] before launching her plan with Shorty, showing how dangerous she was. Gruumm complimented her and said she would train with Krybots in the future because he couldn't have her destroying his best robots.

!!Others
[[folder:Alien Criminals]]
!!In General
* AdaptedOut: Gimonian Angorl, Tenkaonian Raja Namunan, and Zabunian Don Blaco were not adapted from ''Dekaranger''.
* NonLethalKO: Every evil alien S.P.D fights against are ''captured'' in a giant explosion via confinement cards. [[SetSwordsToStun Even Cruger's Shadow Saber merely captures the perps.]] The only other Ranger team to do this are the '"Time Force'' Rangers (and unlike Time Force, [[{{Bowdlerize}} this was not carried over from the Sentai.]])
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Unlike in ''Dekaranger'' where the criminals are deleted if proven guilty, in ''Power Rangers'', they're arrested and contained in cards. However, there are cases where the criminals do die at the end of their episodes, so they will be noted under their sections.

!!Praxis
-> '''Voiced by:''' Bruce Hopkins
A blue diamond themed bee-like alien created from Mora's drawings.

** His human form from ''Dekaranger'' was not used.
** Also, he had a dragster like vehicle in the Sentai that was not adapted.

* StarterVillain: The first proper criminal the B-Squad Rangers fought against as the first two episodes had them fight against a Blue-Head.

!!Ringbah
-> '''Voiced by:''' Bruce Hopkins
An alien bounty hunter Gruumm hired to take on the B-Squad Rangers.

* TopHeavyGuy: Has huge shoulders and looks bulky on his top half than on his lower half.
* WeNeedADistraction: His main purpose, other than fight against the Rangers, was to distract them long enough for Gruumm to steal the diamonds. Made no better that Sky purposely ignored Jack's orders to stay and watch them out of spite.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Nearly suffers this fate from Gruumm when he retreated from a battle with the Rangers, but Mora convinces him to spare him by noting that not only is he a good bounty hunter, but he lost because his robot ran out of energy, rather than any mistake.

!!Parsnippity
-> '''Voiced by:''' ??
A minor monster.

* CanonForeigner: He had no ''Dekaranger'' counterpart as he was made from leftover costume bits from previous Power Ranger monsters.
* HarmlessVillain: His evil plan to turn people into parsnips. Gruumm tosses him aside into space with only the barest glance to an unimpressed Mora.

!!Scaleface
-> '''Voiced by:''' Mick Innes
A minor monster.

* CanonForeigner: He had no ''Dekaranger'' counterpart.
* HarmlessVillain: His evil plan to use hand puppets for unknown reasons. Gruumm doesn't even hesitate to just blast him into nothingness with his staff.

* BattleBoomerang: Wields two steel boomerangs.
* TheBusCameBack: Sort of. He was cloned by Slate in ''Reflections''.
* HornAttack: He can fire his horn as a projectile that regrows. However, should the horn be damaged otherwise, as when Syd slices it off, it stays broken.
* HumanResources: His evil plan is to turn humans into slime that can then be used as energy fuel. Mora is impressed, and Gruumm actually approves of it.
* MadeOfIron: He had very durable armor, which made it difficult for the Rangers to face off against him without the Canine Cannon.
* NoOntologicalInertia: Once the Rangers contained him in a card, all his victims returned to normal.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: He uses this for attacks.
* RhinoRampage: An evil rhino alien.

!!Hydrax
-> '''Portrayed by/Voiced by:''' Sarah Thomson
A Fernovian intergalactic bank robber who tried to frame T-Top.

* AWolfInSheepsClothing: Took on a human disguise by the name Diane.
* TheBusCameBack: Sort of. She was cloned by Slate in ''Reflections''.
* CoolSword: Wielded a plant themed one in her fight against the Rangers.
* MakingASplash: She can generate high-pressure water blasts from her limbs, strong enough to cut through metal.
* PlantAliens: Her species is described as plant-based.

!!Bugglesworth
-> '''Voiced by:''' Kelson Henderson
A Cthulhu-like monster created from Mora's drawing that tricked Sam to use his teleportation powers for evil.

* AndIMustScream: Any victim he turns into dolls still has their conscience intact. But, if they remain dolls for too long, then they are permanently trapped in that form.

* TheCorrupter: To Sam.
* HandBlast: Can fire energy blasts from his fingers.
* MagicStaff: Wields a special Doll Staff that allows him to turn his victims into dolls.

!!Dru Harrington/Giganis
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monster06.JPG]]
->'''Portrayed by/Voiced by:''' Dwayne Cameron
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobutoshiCanna (Japanese dub)
A Tangar alien that was once friends with Sky back at the SPD academy. However, he secretly defected after meeting Broodwing.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's not afraid to lead his troops in combat, although as the series progresses, he accompanies them less to give them more independence in battle.

* TheChick: Easily this. Interestingly, you can think of Syd's personality as a sort of translation of Umeko being TheChick, but in a way more recognizable to a Western audience (with Umeko having more {{Kawaiiko}} tendencies whereas Syd is more of the LovableAlphaBitch type).

* BerserkButton:
** He doesn't like people mocking his dead comrades or his lost homeworld. It took great restraint from laying a hand on Commander Fowler when he does this.
** Do ''NOT'' hurt his Rangers. Due to the above, he will take it ''very'' personally.

* BerserkButton: Not getting paid for his services, it's why he turns on Gruumm.

* SpottingTheThread: The first hint Sky gets that Dru isn't being truthful is that when he runs a background check and finds that the criminal Dru claims to have been chasing before his disappearance, Zantor, was still in prison at the time.

A snake-like alien scientist that escaped from KO-35's satellite prison thanks to Broodwing and Emperor Gruumm.

* TheComicallySerious: In his interactions with Mora, doing things like forcing Broodwing into a tea party with her.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Very, very downplayed. His Sentai counterpart was never a Robin Hood type character (in fact, Ban was in SPD because he'd JumpedAtTheCall).

* AdaptationalVillainy: Very, very downplayed. Her Sentai counterpart was never a Robin Hood type criminal.

* AdaptationalVillainy: While his ''Dekaranger'' counterpart reformed later on, he stayed as a bad guy till the bitter end.

* AdaptationalVillainy: While his ''Dekaranger'' counterpart was a reformed criminal, he stayed as a bad guy till the bitter end.

* ShipTease: One-sided version with Syd. He is sometimes seen checking her out and blowing a kiss at her.

* AFatherToHisMen: The Rangers definitely come to see him as this, especially when he joins them in the field. As the series goes on, he pulls back somewhat in order to give the Rangers more independence, just as a real father would.

* MeaningfulName: His real name is Anubis and he's a...

* SixthRanger / AloofAlly: Though he's less active alongside the rangers after Omega joins. The latter is justified, not just because he's their commanding officer, but because he doesn't want the rangers to depend on him so much.

* HotScientist: She's an attractive scientist.

* AnAxeToGrind: Wields a short ax in close quarters combat.

* TheAce: As the Shadow Ranger, he easily out classes the B-Squad in combat.

* CoolSword, HeroesPreferSwords: His personal sword the Shadow Saber, it's guard is shaped like a canine and it's maw can even open!

* SixthRanger / AloofAlly: Though he's less active alongside the rangers after Omega joins. The latter is justified since he doesn't want the rangers to depend on him so much.

A gorilla like alien, and [=SPD=]'s drill sergeant who trained the B-Squad rangers in order to access the SWAT Mode.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Like every DrillSergeantNasty in the last few decades, he's basically an Creator/RLeeErmey charicature.

* TalkingAnimal: He's a gorilla

An alien wanted in ten planets for various crimes.

A wanted criminal that took the disguise of Professor Cerebros. He first helped Broodwing bring the Dino Thunder Rangers to the year 2025, and then, he directed a meteor towards Earth.

A former SPD cadet, and a rival to Cruger.
