5!The Evil Space Aliens
6[[folder:In General]]
7* AdaptedOut:
8** Kai is the only major villain from ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' to not be adapted into ''Power Rangers''. There were plans to adapt him as Bubba when "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP39DoomsdayPart1 Doomsday]]" was intended to be the series finale, but due to ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' popularity leading to more episodes, he was scrapped.
9** Aside from [[DemotedToExtra Shadam becoming Mondo the Magician and Matoba/Garouki becoming Skelerena]], none of the main villains from ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'' made an appearance.
10** Professor Yugami and the Flowery Kunoichi Team from ''Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger'' were left unadapted, though the latter was given somewhat of a counterpart in the form of [[CompositeCharacter Katherine]], due to her being able to transform into a cat while the team were cats that turned human.
11* BigBadDuumvirate: Season 1's main villain is Rita, Season 2's is Zedd, and by Season 3, they're [[UnholyMatrimony married]] and working together to ice the Rangers.
12* RelatedInTheAdaptation: The main villains of ''Zyuranger'', ''Dairanger'', and ''Kakuranger'' didn't even cross paths. ''PR'' makes their respective counterparts (i.e. Rita, Zedd, Rito, and Master Vile) an extended family.
13** UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Conversely, there's no hint that Goldar and Scorpina are married like their ''Zyuranger'' counterparts.
14* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Each new boss is usually considered more powerful and dangerous than the previous one.
15* TenThousandYears: The amount of time that Rita and her minions were trapped within the space dumpster. This makes all of the main villains ''at least'' 10,000 years old, if not infinitely moreso.
16* WizardsFromOuterSpace: They're aliens but almost completely rely on magical powers; both the Putties and most [[MonsterOfTheWeek monsters]] are objects animated by mojo.

32Originally sealed in a space dumpster for 10,000 years after a long war with her arch-nemesis Zordon, the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa was freed after two astronauts accidentally opened it. After being freed, Rita sent her sights on conquering Earth, only to face Zordon's Power Rangers.

46
47After Rita failed to defeat the Rangers multiple times, Lord Zedd came to the Moon Palace and sealed her in a dumpster again in retribution. Once she was gone, he took over as the head of the Evil Space Aliens and focused on succeeding where Rita had failed.

60->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/PaulFreeman, Álvaro Tarcico (Latin American Spanish)
61
62A morphological being who was imprisoned within a Hyperlock Chamber for six-thousand years by Zordon and Dulcea. Freed by Lord Zedd to defeat the Power Rangers in the movie, Ivan destroyed the Command Center, the Rangers' powers, and quickly mutinied against Zedd and Rita, taking their place as the main villain for most of the film.
63----
64* AdultHater: Whilst Ooze is an evil being in general, he seems to really go after adults in particular. This is probably because they get in the way of Ooze's [[CorruptionOfAMinor corruption of children.]]
65* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Ivan forces his way into the Command Center and absolutely trashes the place, electrocuting Alpha 5 and mortally wounding [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Zordon]].
66* AncientEvil: He was a feared evil being that fought Zordon and Dulcea, and was imprisoned for 6000 years until Lord Zedd freed him.
67* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: He mentions several horrific things he missed out on while he was imprisoned: "[[TheBlackDeath The Black Plague]]! UsefulNotes/TheSpanishInquisition! ''Series/TheBradyBunch Reunion''!" That last one was a ThrowItIn by the actor that everyone working on the project loved.
68* BadBoss: Kills his Tengu Warriors for [[YouHaveFailedMe failing him]] and orders the brainwashed parents to kill themselves because he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness no longer needs them]]. Earlier still, he threatens to imprison Goldar and Mordant with Zedd and Rita if they don't agree to serve him and threatened to turn Goldar into chicken wings for touching him during the Zord battle.
69* BeardOfEvil: He has a purple goatee at the end of his chin made from a pair of twisted horns.
70* BerserkButton: Upon hearing Zordon's name, his good mood at being freed by Zedd is ruined and he lets loose his lightning while screaming how he intends to not only kill Zordon but destroy his entire legacy, all with a dead-serious tone and expression.
71* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a bit of a goofball and loves to make jokes while speaking in weird voices, but he came dangerously close to wiping out an entire city's adult population and then destroying the planet. Tie-in material indicates he's even killed every non child on several planets!
72* BigBad: He is the leading villain of the first movie, after shoving Zedd and Rita aside and taking over.
73* BlobMonster: Ivan Ooze and his servants are made of purple goo.
74* BrokenPedestal: To Lord Zedd. Zedd greatly respected Ivan but loses all that respect when Ivan overthrows him. Rita lost it even sooner when it looks like he intentionally let the Rangers escape to Phaedos after stripping them of their powers.
75* TheBully: When he zaps [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Alpha]] after sliming his way into the Command Center:
76-->'''Zordon:''' You haven't changed, Ooze. [[PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize You're still picking on creatures smaller than yourself.]]
77* CanonForeigner: He has no ''Super Sentai'' counterpart and only exists in the continuity of ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie''.
78* CardCarryingVillain: His LargeHam introduction to the Rangers says it all:
79-->''"I am the galactically feared, globally reviled, universally despised... They call me Ivan Ooze!"''
80* CorruptionOfAMinor: Ivan Ooze's MO is slowly corrupt children into becoming criminals.
81* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Gets tossed into a comet by the Ninja Falcon Megazord after the latter uses its [[GroinAttack emergency attack]].
82* DeadpanSnarker: This exchange in particular:
83-->'''Tommy:''' We're the Power Rangers!
84-->'''Ivan:''' [[SarcasmMode Whooo!]] [[ExpectingSomeoneTaller Where's my autograph book?!]]
85* DisapprovingLook: He gives Goldar one of these when the latter admits he finds Kimberly cute during the Zord fight.
86-->'''Ivan:''' Ahh, here comes that cute little Pink Ranger to the rescue!\
87'''Goldar:''' [[VillainousCrush Oh, you think she's cute, too, huh?]]\
88''[Ivan slowly turns and glares at him.]''
89* TheDreaded: His introduction to the Rangers; "galactically feared" and all.
90* DugTooDeep: The egg-like chamber he was sealed in was unearthed by a construction crew.
91* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Or at the very least he takes pride in his precious creations, to the point he gets pissed when Scorpitron is destroyed.
92* EvilIsNotAToy: As Zedd finds out, Ivan is not content to be someone's servant. It gets him and Rita trapped in a snowglobe.
93* EvilOldFolks: Despite being a shape-shifter who can be anyone he wants, Ivan's preferred form has the wrinkled face and cackling voice of an old man.
94* EvilerThanThou: After destroying the Command Center, he announces that he's taking over Rita and Zedd's operation. When they disagree, he shrinks them and traps them in a snow globe.
95* {{Expy}}: His mannerisms are very similar to those of [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]].
96* FauxAffablyEvil: Ivan acts like a friendly guy on the surface, even giving a high five to Goldar, but underneath he is AxCrazy and ill tempered, threatening to kill Goldar for touching him, and after deciding he no longer needs the adults he brainwashed, he orders them to commit suicide.
97* FillerVillain: He existed solely to give the NonSerialMovie an original BigBad.
98* FinalBoss: The climax of the film is Ivan battling the Ninja Falcon Megazord in the depths of space. He's also this in every video game that features him.
99* {{Foil}}: To Dulcea; who acts cold and unimpressed with the Rangers at first due to her (implied) isolation but warms up to them and is heroic. Ivan, on the other hand, while polite on the surface and masquerading as a FriendToAllChildren, only uses others (including other villains) for the sake of furthering his own goals and even possessed one of his "precious" Ecto-Morphicons just to get an advantage.
100* FriendToAllChildren: SubvertedTrope, Ivan Ooze masquerades as a fun loving friend to children, but this is just part of his plan to manipulate them into breaking social order and eventually becoming villains, all whilst he's sending their parents to their deaths, leaving them orphans.
101* TheGenieKnowsJackNicholson: Though he's been imprisoned since pre-history, he seems to be aware of ''Series/TheBradyBunch''.
102* GloryDays: When facing Zordon in the Command Center, Ivan complains "You robbed me of my prime! I was the supreme ruler of the most foul empire in the universe!"
103* HornsOfVillainy: He has multiple small horns emerging from the sides of his head. Two of them even form his goatee.
104* IncomingHam: "Ladies and gentlemen! The Oooooze is BACK!"
105* InstrumentOfMurder: He uses a lightning-shooting flute to wreck the Command Center.
106* InvoluntaryDance: He forces one of the parents doing his bidding at the construction site to this for him when he becomes bored of waiting for the Ecto-Morphicons to be dug up. When the man's lame dancing doesn't impress Ivan, he tells him to do The Swim. A moment later, Goldar suggests ballet. The various dances entertain Ivan long enough for the Tengu Warriors to return to Earth.
107* KickTheDog: Once he's inside the Command Center, he eletrocutes Alpha 5, which [[HeadTurnedBackwards turns the droid's head backwards]] and leaves him in a dazed, muttering state. Zordon observes that Ivan hasn't gotten rid of his habit of picking on creatures smaller than himself. From the way Ivan reacts to the comment, he seems to consider it a quality of his to be proud of.
108* LargeHam: He is probably one of the most deliciously hammy villains the series has had; he takes on a persona and he plays EvilIsHammy for all it's worth. Paul Freeman had a blast playing him.
109-->''"From this moment forth the world as you know it as shall cease to exist! WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE!"''
110* LaserBlade: In the video games, Ivan uses this in his Ecto-Morphicon form.
111* LaughablyEvil: While Ivan is pure evil, he is also a total goofball who revels in his own villainy to such a degree it is impossible not to laugh at his antics.
112* LightningCanDoAnything: Throughout the movie, Ivan uses lightning bolts from his hands to create his Ooze Men, to operate machinery in the chemical plant (and seems to instantly fill the machines with ooze), to bring the mechanical Ecto-Morphicons to life, to grab hold of the Ninja Cranezord in an "[[TractorBeam electromagnetic deadlock]]," and to attack things in the usual, 'blast everything with lightning' fashion (the Command Center and later his own Tengu Warriors).
113* MookMaker: He displays two different methods during the movie: He summons the Ooze Men via lightning from his hands, then later generates the Tengu Warriors out of a glob of ooze he spits out.
114* MoralMyopia: He gets angry when the Rangers destroy Scorpitron, calling it a "beautiful creation," but has no problem possessing the still-living Hornitor just to stand a better chance against the heroes. Note that Hornitor clearly acts shocked when Ivan does this.
115* NamedByAdaptation: In the game versions, Ivan's combined form with Hornitor is named "Ivan Ecto Morphicon".
116* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: As a "morphological being," Ivan almost never uses the same power twice, able to reduce himself to slime and slip through tight spaces, trap people within snowglobes, spit up {{Mooks}}, brainwash people, combine himself with his Ecto-Morphicon Titans, and fire lightning bolts from his hands (which can either inflict damage in the usual fashion, activate run down machinery, act as a tractor beam, or generate minions - A different kind of minion from the aforementioned spitting up kind, no less).
117* NoSell: Lord Zedd launches a lethal magic attack at Ivan upon being usurped and all it does is tickle him, and even ''that'' could have just been an act.
118* TheNoseKnows: He realizes the Rangers are coming because he can smell them before they even arrive - And he's not a big fan of their scent.
119-->''"What is that odious stench? Smells like... Teenagers."''
120* NotSoHarmlessVillain: His slime-based form and powers are dismissed by Rita and Kimberly as disgusting and less-than-impressive, and Zedd's intentions for him are to be another MonsterOfTheWeek lackey, but by the end of the first half of the movie, he's overthrown everyone and sent the show's formula and status quo straight to hell.
121* OffscreenVillainy: According to the comic adaptation, as well as the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis and UsefulNotes/GameGear versions of ''VideoGame/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'', [[BewareTheSillyOnes Ivan Ooze]] rid entire planets of every last adult, whilst leaving the children to follow his evil ways.
122* OhCrap: Ivan has this reaction once he hears that [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Dulcea]] is helping the Rangers find the Great Power.
123* OneWingedAngel: After the Rangers destroy Scorpitron, he gets ''pissed off'' and merges with Hornitor to form a giant, armored version of himself.
124* PopCulturedBadass: He's a fan of ''Series/TheBradyBunch'' and notes the Brady Bunch reunion as among the things he missed out on while imprisoned.
125* PowerPincers: Ivan has these for hands once he combines with Hornitor.
126* PurpleIsPowerful: Has purple skin and can usurp Rita and Zedd's forces with ridiculous ease.
127* PsychicAssistedSuicide: He takes control of the minds of Angel Grove's adults, who are then commanded to "leap to their doom" into a massive hole on a construction site. The kid of the movie Fred rally the kids and Bulk and Skull to save the adults as the Rangers battle Ooze, with one of the kids holding them back with a water cannon, but it's not until Ooze's demise that his spell is broken and the adults are returned to normal.
128* SealedEvilInACan: He had been trapped underground for 6,000 years until his containment chamber was accidentally unearthed by a construction crew and later opened by Lord Zedd.
129* SkywardScream: Does this when the first thing Zedd asks him is if he's familiar with Zordon.
130-->'''Mordant:''' I think he's heard of him.
131* SnakeOilSalesman: He doesn't ''sell'' his ooze to kids, he gives it away for free; still, he does so in the MedicineShow routine that members of the trope are famous for.
132* SNKBoss: In ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Fighting Edition'' for the SNES. He can float around, meaning he's immune to low attacks, all of his normal moves are projectiles, such as energy spheres and pillars of light which he can spam to keep you at bay; he's also immune to throws, and has an invulnerable strike that grants him immunity to everything for a brief instant, and then throws a barrage of energy spheres at you, and he likes to abuse this move to escape combos and compensate for not being able to block.
133* TheStarscream: Was released by Rita and Zedd to fill the role of their latest monster. Instead, he betrays the evil duo by imprisoning them in a snowglobe and taking over command over the villains.
134* TeenageWasteland: According to ancillary material, Ivan has killed the adult populations on multiple planets, whilst leaving the brainwashed children to follow in his footsteps.
135* TeenHater: Ivan verbally expresses contempt for teenagers. It is implied that the reason for this is because [[PrecursorHeroes the heroes who defeated him in the past]] were also teenagers. He even finds the smell of teenagers to be repulsive. Last but not least, he mocks Zordon for using "a bunch of kids" to fight for him.
136-->"Gee, a teenager with a big mouth. Not much has changed in six thousand years."
137* VillainNoLongerIdle: Enraged when Scorpitron is destroyed, he physically takes over Hornitor, essentially reducing him to a suit of armor, and engages the Ninja Megazord in battle personally.
138* VillainOverride: He merges with Hornitor after Scorpitron is destroyed.
139* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He first encounters the Rangers while morphed into a cop.
140* WhaleEgg: The "hyperlock chamber" that Ivan was imprisoned in looks like a large purple egg grasped by a large, clawed hand.
141* WouldntHurtAChild: Downplayed and Justified with PragmaticVillainy, Ivan Ooze prefers to kill adults and teengers over children, but this is because he finds it more fun to corrupt them instead.
142* YouHaveFailedMe: When the Tengu Warriors return to Earth and explain that the Rangers are alive and have been taken in by Dulcea, Ivan is so infuriated he kills the entire flock with a lightning blast.
143-->'''Tengu Warrior:''' Want us to take another whack at it?
144-->'''Ivan Ooze:''' How about taking another QUACK at it?
145* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He does this to Rita and Zedd once the former starts berating him for letting the Rangers escape to Phaedos in search of the Great Power. He seemed genuinely grateful to them for releasing him from his hyperlock chamber, but any good will they have with him disappears as soon as Rita calls him an "egg-sucking purple pinhead."

148[[folder:Master Vile]]
149!!Master Vile
150[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_vile.png]]
151[[caption-width-right:350: ''"Father's home. And I'm going to take care of everything."'']]
152
153->'''Voiced by:''' Simon Prescott, Mario Sauret (Latin American Spanish)
154
155Rita and Rito's father, Master Vile came from the conquered M51 Galaxy to locate the Zeo Crystal. He essentially took over as the leader of the Evil Space Aliens during his brief stay, much to Rita and Zedd's chagrin.
156----
157* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While Vile is still a DirtyCoward like his Sentai counterpart, he at least tried to be a good dad to Rita and Rito despite acting like a jerk to them ([[AbusiveParents whereas Daimaou belittled his son after his death and couldn't even give a shit about the rest of his family]]). Plus he ''did'' take them in after the Machine Empire drove them and Zedd from the moon.
158* AdaptationSpeciesChange: As with the ''Zyuranger'' villains and his son in ''Kakuranger'', Master Vile's mythological origins as an ancient {{Youkai}} are completely ignored in ''Power Rangers'' and he becomes yet another alien being.
159* ArcVillain: He becomes the lead villain at the end of the third season, but only for a few episodes.
160* AstralProjection: Vile uses this ability to communicate with Rita and Zedd in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP34AlienRangersofAquitarPart1 Alien Rangers of Aquitar Part I]]" and "[[Recap/PowerRangersZeoS1E1AZeoBeginningPart1 A Zeo Beginning Part I]]."
161* TheBadGuyWins: Apparently the case in his own galaxy, as he states before running off that he's going back home, where the bad guys can WIN.
162* BigBadEnsemble: Becomes the main antagonist by the end of the third season, though Zedd is still around. They're not ''technically'' opposed and don't try to sabotage each other, but Zedd occasionally takes his own initiative.
163* TheCameo: He attends Dark Specter's conference on the Cimmerian Planet in "[[Recap/PowerRangersInSpaceS1E1FromOutOfNowherePart1 From Out of Nowhere Part I]]" and even brings Globbor along with him. Neither of them get any dialogue, though Vile does raise a glass in a toast to the Grand Monarch of Evil. [[spoiler:This would end up being Master Vile's last appearance.]]
164* CerebusSyndrome: The episodes he's in are much more serious and ominous than most of ''Mighty Morphin''.
165* DarkIsEvil: When he arrives on the moon, the skies on Earth darken briefly and the Command Center (including [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Alpha]]) temporarily shuts down.
166* DemotedToExtra: He only appeared in seven episodes (with two cameos in later seasons). His ''[[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger Kakuranger]]'' counterpart had a more sizable role. In exchange, he's given a SmallRoleBigImpact.
167* {{Descriptiveville}}: While the show tells us that Vile has conquered the M51 Galaxy, the Creator/ImageComics ''Zeo'' comic reveals that the specific planet he lives on is known as [[MeaningfulName Gamma-Vile]]. It isn't said if that was always the planet's name or if Vile named it after himself.
168* DirtyCoward: Is notable for being the first villain in ''Power Rangers'' to actually give up and flee after things don't go his way.
169* DiscOneFinalBoss: After setting himself up as a powerful new threat able to force even Zedd into submission, he unceremoniously gives up in the ''Alien Rangers'' two-part premiere and leaves for his home galaxy after one loss too many.
170* DualBoss: He grows to giant size and helps Globbor battle [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Ninjor]] and the Zords.
171* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He views Rita as an ungrateful and rotten little brat but he still genuinely loves his daughter, though overall Rito seems to be the favorite. For instance, he puts a muzzle on Goldar to silence him when he mocks Rito for not screwing up for once.
172* EvilOldFolks: While most villains in this franchise are [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld pretty damn ancient]], Vile at least is shown to have visible wrinkles and acts like an elderly father to his children and son-in-law.
173* EvilerThanThou: During his tenure, he often tried to demonstrate he was a better villain than Zedd, although that could just be antagonistic father-in-law stuff. He was also considered a big enough threat that Rita felt that they would be safe with him when she, Zedd, and their minions had to evacuate the moon when the Machine Empire invaded.
174* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Vile's Space Skull is a giant skull that travels through space.
175* FlyingCutlerySpaceship: Master Vile's spaceship base, the Space Skull, is essentially just an enormous replica of Vile's own skull.
176* FlyingFace: When he finally gives up and leaves the moon, his body disappears in its usual fashion, but his head remains corporeal and shoots off with a rocket flame, similar to Rito's own teleportation.
177* GaveUpTooSoon: Leaves, after the Aquitian Rangers defeat his monster army, basically throwing a childish tantrum, not unlike his daughter in Season 1. This was a mere three episodes after proclaiming "Master Vile is here to stay!" At least Zedd and Rita's forces continued where he'd left off, destroying the Ninja Power Coins and eventually the Command Center itself. Then again, if he had stuck around, he would've been at just as much risk from the Machine Empire's attack as his daughter and son-in-law, so maybe it was in his best interest.
178* GreaterScopeVillain: Is this for Rita and Rito, being their father and all.
179* GrumpyOldMan: As evil and terrifying as he is, Vile was also an incredibly cranky old man, and often let his grumpiness out when dealing with his offspring.
180* ImmediateSelfContradiction: When Master Vile faces his first loss with the destruction of Blue Globbor (a win that the Rangers just barely achieved), he says "So I failed once. Big deal. Rita and Zedd have tried to conquer the Earth over a hundred times and they've never come close. The Rangers think they've won, but they haven't. [[WeWillMeetAgain That was just a small taste of what I have in store for those horrible teenagers. Master Vile is here to stay!]]" A mere ''two'' failures later, Vile has a tantrum and returns to his home galaxy.
181* TheKilljoy: Vile shrinks Zedd, Rita, Goldar, and Rito back down to normal size in the middle of their [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever giant-sized rampage]] through Angel Grove, then teleports them back to the moon, on the chance it may ruin his upcoming invasion with Professor Longnose and his monster army. His daughter and son-in-law are rather annoyed by Vile ending their fun so suddenly (or at all).
182* KnightOfCerebus: After Lord Zedd was toned down late in Season 2, Master Vile fulfills the role that Zedd had in much of Season 2.
183* LargeHam: He’s Rita’s father, alright. It's easy to see where she got her dramatic flair from.
184* LizardFolk: Master Vile's royal guards in the M51 Galaxy. There was at least one guard seen that was a horned mammilian creature, though.
185* MagicWand: Master Vile possesses a golden, spiked wand capable of conjuring spells as well as firing off energy attacks.
186* MightyGlacier: He doesn't move very fast, but he's easily the strongest foe the Mighty Morphin Rangers ever faced.
187* MineralMacGuffin: Master Vile had a thing for these, first the Zeo Crystal ([[Series/PowerRangersZeo which the Rangers eventually hid away for safe keeping]]) and then the Orb of Doom (which resulted in the successful destruction of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers).
188* MonsterProgenitor: Can create monsters by giving birth to them. He created Blue Globbor by regurgitating an egg.
189* {{Mooks}}: In the ''Power Rangers Zeo'' comic by Creator/ImageComics, as Master Vile's forces fend off the Machine Empire, we see his foot soldiers are comprised of a race of lizard men (some with fish-like fins on their heads, some with spikes on their heads, and some with bubbly warts on their foreheads) wearing red uniforms that greatly resemble BritishRoyalGuards.
190* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: While the names "Rita" and "Zedd" don't necessarily sound bad on their own, "Master Vile" most certainly does.
191* NoHonorAmongThieves: In the ''Zeo'' comic, Vile has no qualms about surrendering Zedd to the Machine Empire after discovering that Zedd has been experimenting with [[spoiler: the powers of the destroyed Ninja Coins]] behind his back, which is what brought Mondo's forces down upon his homeworld in the first place. While he ultimately doesn't go through with it, he ''does'' give Klank and Orbus the [[spoiler: Power Coin energies]] [[ParentalBetrayal without Zedd's knowledge while he and Rita are busy elsewhere]], infuriating the two.
192* ObnoxiousInLaws: Vile is ''immediately'' antagonistic towards Zedd. One of the very first things he says to Rita upon his arrival at the Moon Palace is "You married Lord Zedd? [[WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent You couldn't marry someone who had a skull?!]]" Zedd tells Vile to step off as he currently had Ninjor and the Falconzord in his possession, which Vile found hard to believe.
193* PowerCrystal: He first came to Earth seeking the Zeo Crystal.
194* RageQuit: Throws a tantrum and leaves in a blind rage after his final monster is destroyed.
195* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Being from two different series, Daimaou never met Bandora. In ''Power Rangers'', though, Master Vile is Rita's father.
196* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: He has the heads of what look like snapping turtle-snakes emerging from his shoulder pads - one blue, one gold - that move about on their own. It's never clarified if they're somehow part of Vile's body or if they're separate creatures that reside within his robes.
197* SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite appearing for only seven episodes[[note]]not counting a couple of cameos[[/note]], his actions set the stage for the ultimate defeat of the Mighty Morphin' Rangers and the introduction of [[Series/PowerRangersZeo the Zeo Rangers]].
198* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the end of "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP35AlienRangersofAquitarPart2 Alien Rangers of Aquitar]]," after the Aquitian Rangers defeat Professor Longnose and his monster army, Vile decides to head back to his own galaxy, much to Zedd's delight.
199* StrongerWithAge: According to [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Zordon]], he and Ninjor knew the Zeo Crystal would be safe from Zedd in the Caves of Deception, but realized that Vile - being much older and infinitely wiser in the ways of evil - would have no trouble getting to it.
200* SuperToughness: In "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMasterVileAndTheMetallicArmorPart3 Master Vile and the Metallic Armor Part III]]," he gets hit by the finishers of the Shogun [=MegaFalconzord=], then the Ninja [=MegaFalconzord=], and ''laughs it off''.
201* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: As the ancient evil being who takes over leading the Evil Space Aliens from Rita and Zedd, can create monsters by forming them out of spit up slime, enslaves a large group of humans, and sets into motion the chain of events that destroys the Mighty Morphin' Rangers' current power set, Master Vile is essentially the show's equivalent of Ivan Ooze.
202* TimeAbyss: As a being old enough to be the father of Rita and Rito, Master Vile must be positively ''ancient''.
203* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Yama-uba was Daimaou's sister in ''Kakuranger'', but in ''MMPR'', Dischordia is merely an ally of Master Vile's.
204* VillainNoLongerIdle: After Ninjor is freed and Globbor loses his stolen Ranger powers, an enraged Vile grows to giant size and joins the fight.
205* VillainsOutShopping: Throws an "End of the World Party" at the Youth Center, inviting past monsters and citizens of Angel Grove to dance, with the latter group being encouraged to literally dance 'til they drop.
206* VillainousBreakdown: After the Alien Rangers defeat Professor Longnose, he throws a tantrum and basically just leaves in a blind rage.
207* WeHaveReserves: When Globbor is destroyed by Ninjor and the Shogun Megazord, Vile merely laughs and callously comments that monsters come and go.
208* WeWillMeetAgain: After Globbor is destroyed and he himself takes two Zord finishers to the face, Vile proclaims "You'll never defeat me, Rangers! I'll return when you least expect it. You haven't seen the last of Master Vile!"

234->'''Portrayed by:''' Takako Iiboshi (''Zyuranger'' footage)
235->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RobertAxelrod (Main Series), Creator/SteveKramer (Original Pilot), Herman López (Latin American Spanish)
236
237A gnome-like sculptor that helped Rita by creating most of the monsters for [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonOne Season 1]] and some of [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonThree Season 3]].
238----
239* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While still a bad guy, unlike his ''Zyuranger'' counterpart [[GrumpyOldMan Pleprechaun]], Finster never acts rude towards Rita, especially while finishing on sculpting monsters. He always tries to appease his empress and hates failing her.
240* AffablyEvil: Polite to Rita despite her abusing him and seems more concerned with doing a good job than doing harm. Heck, at one point he actually says out loud that being a bad guy can be no fun at times.
241* AlchemyIsMagic: "Alchemist" is the official title most sources give him, although he uses spellbooks and odd devices, putting clay models through a kiln-like contraption to turn them into monsters.
242* AllThereInTheManual: Multiple sources list Finster's homeworld as [[MeaningfulName Claydoious]]. His Bandai figure's trading card gives his size as 5'11" and 175 lbs, and his age as "9,000 woofs."
243* ArtInitiatesLife: All of Finster's monsters began as clay sculptures that were then brought to life in his Monster-Matic machine.
244* BeingEvilSucks: He has this reaction when he's accidentally stampeded by Master Vile's monsters as they leave the palace.
245* TheBusCameBack: Starting with Zedd and Rita's wedding, he's back in business.
246* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He's nowhere to be found in ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'', along with Squatt and Baboo.
247* TheDogBitesBack: Given how Zedd insults Finster and his creations as "useless," it's easy to see why Finster helps Rita with her plot to bewitch Zedd when she escapes the space dumpster.
248* EvilGenius: Almost every MonsterOfTheWeek in the first season is personally molded by him.
249* ForgingScene: In "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP10HappyBirthdayZack Happy Birthday Zack]]," Finster forges the Knasty Knight's sword the old fashioned way, with some assistance from Baboo.
250* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP19TwoforOne Two For One]]," as Lord Zedd is fuming over the destruction of Pursehead, Finster can be seen laughing at his master's misfortune.
251* GentlemanAndAScholar: Finster was well versed in a lot of things other than just sculpting monsters. He was also a skilled blacksmith, chemist, scholar, medic, and technician. When the villains stole a statue from Angel Grove Park, Finster admired its craftsmanship, saying that it must have taken "at least an hour" to make.
252* GloryDays: Right before Rita makes her way back to the palace to plan her revenge against Zedd, we see Finster yearning for the good ol' days where she was in charge and he was "monster maker extraordinaire."
253* IWarnedYou: When Rita asks for Finster to make her a Pudgy Pig, he tells her that he has one ready but that it's not his best work. Later, once Pudgy Pig is destroyed by the Rangers and Rita is screaming over the failure, Finster reminds her that he ''did'' warn her.
254* LoyalToThePosition: While mostly loyal to Rita, he'll do whatever almost ''any'' of the villains tell him to, including Zedd, Master Vile, and Goldar. He only draws the line with [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Rito]].
255* MadArtist: Most of the monsters and Putties are clay dolls given life.
256* MagicPotion: Aside from sculpting monsters and forging weapons, Finster is also quite adept at brewing potions for Rita, the most notable of which being the love potion she uses to marry Zedd [[spoiler:as well as the antidote for said love potion in the third season]].
257* MakerOfMonsters: He can shape monsters out of clay and place the doll-sized figurine into a machine that turns it into a human-sized monster. He actually gets a little upset when Zedd comes along and his job becomes redundant.
258* TheMedic: In addition to monster making and other such practices, Finster also possesses some medical knowledge as well, as he attempted to help Repellator when his monster had caught the flu. He tried to give the monster a shot, but when he panicked at the sight of a needle, Finster gave him a pair of pills instead.
259* MookMaker: His job is to create all the Putties and monsters Rita needs for her schemes.
260* NonActionGuy: He is never seen directly fighting the Power Rangers and he rarely ever leaves the palace, and one time where he ''does'' go to Earth, he turns himself invisible to avoid detection. It can be assumed he has no fighting skills.
261* PlantAliens: A very minor, downplayed example, as Pleprechaun/Finster's design was mainly based on a {{leprechaun}}, but small leaves can be seen sticking out of the tips of his nose, ears, and "hair."
262* PutOnABus: He was largely absent during Season 2, mostly because Zedd created [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonTwo his own monsters]] and thus no longer needed him, which is part of ''why'' he was so quick to help Rita.
263* TheSmartGuy: Is this for the Evil Space Aliens. Whenever they need something done via a method other than brute force, they turn to Finster, and he has the brains to back it up.
264* SquashedFlat: In "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP35AlienRangersofAquitarPart2 Alien Rangers of Aquitar Part II]]," once Master Vile has selected a few worthy monsters to join Professor Longnose in his invasion of Earth, they all begin to rush out of the palace. Unfortunately, Finster is in their way, and he ends up getting trampled by them.
265-->"Sometimes I really hate being a bad guy."
266* ThisIsGonnaSuck: His reaction to seeing Pudgy Pig once the monster had come to life.
267* TomeOfEldritchLore: Finster has an encyclopedia of all his various monsters, presumably listing their powers and skillsets as well. Though we see him consulting it throughout the series, our best look at it is in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP10HappyBirthdayZack Happy Birthday Zack]]," in which we see multiple pages featuring the illustrations for Snizard, Bones, Chunky Chicken, King Sphinx, the Genie, Mr. Ticklesneezer ([[AllJustADream oddly]]), the Minotaur, and Knasty Knight.
268* UndyingLoyalty: To Rita. Whereas everyone else betrayed her for Zedd, he was legitimately loyal to her and glad to help her turn Zedd into her brainwashed husband.
269* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Did he survive Zordon's [[WorldHealingWave energy wave]]?

273!!Squatt and Baboo
274[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mmpr_squatt_and_baboo.png]]
275->'''Portrayed by:''' Minoru Watanabe (Squatt) and Hideaki Kusaka (Baboo) (''Zyuranger'' footage), Sharon Fine and Melanie Neat (Squatt) and Kim Henderson, Steve Andreno, and Jason Ybarra (Baboo) (American footage)
276->'''Voiced by:''' Michael Sorich (Squatt) and Dave Mallow (Baboo), Alejandro Villeli and Bardo Miranda (Squatt, Latin American Spanish, original version), Bardo Miranda (Baboo, Latin American Spanish original version), Creator/AlfonsoObregonInclan (Squatt, Latin American Spanish original version), Octavio Rojas (Baboo, Latin American Spanish remastered version)
277
278A duo of blue, idiotic monsters (originally based on a troll and a vampire respectively), Squatt and Baboo served as Rita's scapegoats, spies, and saboteurs.
279----
280* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Baboo's Sentai counterpart, Totpat, was a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] and Squatt's, Bookback, was a [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent hobgoblin]]. In ''MMPR'', they're both aliens.
281* AdvertisingOnlyContinuity: In ''Zyuranger'' publicity stills as well as almost all of his MMPR merchandise, Squatt is seen holding a [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter blunderbuss]] in his hand. He never uses this weapon ''once''.
282* AllThereInTheManual: Several bits of backstory info for the duo were revealed in the trading cards that came along with their Bandai figures:
283** Squatt's birthplace was Myrgo, Venus and Baboo's was the "Planet of the Pongies," facts which were repeated and confirmed in the Boom comics.
284** Squatt's stats are 4'8", 206 lbs, and his age is 13 V.Y. (Venusian Years). Baboo's height is "0.5 rods," his weight is "18 stone," and his age is "17.5x10' hours."
285** The dials on Squatt's chest armor were to help him monitor the gasses in the air of whatever planet he happened to be on. Unfortunately, he would often forget to keep an eye on the dials, and overexposure to oxygen caused him to sprout horns all around his body and his brain to burst up through his helmet.
286** One of Baboo's hobbies involved using his extendable scapular (shoulder) claws to capture birds and small animals.
287** Baboo hated being late, which is why he wore three watches on his chest, but he unfortunately never learned how to tell time.
288** Squatt was described as (in ''multiple'' sources, not just his Bandai card) "half warthog, half blueberry, with a brain the size of a peach pit." Whether the description was meant to be literal or insulting is unknown.
289* BestWoman: Squatt was the "mutant of honor" at Rita and Zedd's wedding.
290* BigGuyLittleGuy: Baboo is the tall "leader" of the duo, with Squatt as his short, rotund sidekick. This aspect gets lost once the two become more active in American footage, as due to the new, American suit actors the two aliens end up evening out to roughly the same height.
291* BumblingHenchmenDuo: The first such evil duo of the franchise. On the rare occasion they'd succeed in something, Rita and Zedd would be genuinely shocked.
292* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome:
293** Squatt and Baboo straight up vanish after the Evil Space Aliens flee the moon in the ''Zeo'' premiere. When Zedd and Rita return later in the season, they bring Finster with them and they hook back up with Goldar and Rito, but Squatt and Baboo are nowhere to be seen, nor is there any dialogue explaining their absence (when they could've easily said they decided to stay behind with Master Vile in the M51 Galaxy). A few years later, in the ''In Space'' finale, Squatt makes a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance in Zedd and Rita's army, but Baboo is still nowhere to be seen, leaving his ultimate fate up in the air.
294** Both of them are non-existent in [[Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie the movie]] and are replaced by a monocle-wearing pig named Mordant.
295* CoolHelmet: Squatt wears a silver helmet that appears to have permanently attached goggles on it, which his mutated brain had burst up out through the top of.
296* ADayInTheLimelight: Baboo in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP12PowerRangerPunks Power Ranger Punks]]" and both of them in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP22TheTroubleWithShellshock The Trouble with Shellshock]]."
297* DemotedToExtra: Other than releasing Lord Zedd’s sleep machine on Angel Grove in "The Power Transfer," they do almost nothing in Season 2 but cower in fear at Zedd until Rita comes back near the end of the season. They get a bit more to do in Season 3, but even then it's not by much compared to the first season, as Rito and Goldar had pretty much eclipsed them in prominence as the bumbling duo.
298* DopeSlap: Baboo sometimes whacks Squatt on the head when the latter does something dumb. At least Squatt wears a helmet.
299* EvilCounterpart: To [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Bulk and Skull]], as they're both the bumbling FatAndSkinny comic relief duos for the villains and heroes, respectively. Their names even start with the same letters. Amazingly, this is never acknowledged by anyone in the show until Rita {{Lampshade|Hanging}}s it in "White Light," which isn't until well into the second season:
300-->''"Oh, great, just what I need. A human Squatt and Baboo."''
301* ExposedExtraterrestrials: Rita, Goldar, Finster, Squatt, Scorpina, Zedd (kind of), and Master Vile all wear clothes. Baboo and Rito do not.
302* FangsAreEvil: The teeth on Squatt's bottom jaw are quite large and misshapen.
303* FatAndSkinny: Squatt as the Fat, Baboo as the Skinny.
304* {{Flanderization}}: In the first season, they tended to be {{Genius Ditz}}es and {{Not So Harmless Villain}}s whose few talents were underused because their superiors saw them as more useless than they actually were. When Lord Zedd arrived, they became one-dimensional dimwits who would just watch from the sidelines.
305* GigglingVillain: Squatt most of the time.
306* HiddenDepths: When not being a cowardly suck up, Baboo is actually a rather [[GeniusDitz competent chemist]], creating a potion that was completely successful in turning Billy and Kimberly into obnoxious punks, which very nearly led to the Rangers being destroyed by [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonOne Terror Toad]].
307* HighClassGlass: Baboo noticeably wears a monocle.
308* LazyBum: Aside from being an occasional spy or saboteur, Squatt would rather just stand around, watch his allies do the work, and cheer them on. [[EveryoneHasStandards Even his best friend Baboo, who's also dumb and spineless but at least makes an effort, gets frustrated with him.]]
309* MadScientist: Baboo fancies himself one. He may be scatterbrained, but one episode shows that he has his own chemistry lab where he successfully creates a "punk potion." He also [[GadgeteerGenius successfully made a time-warp device]] in an earlier episode.
310* MinionWithAnFInEvil: In terms of outright evilness, they're not much good. Or even good at anything, outside a few early occasions. At one point, Squatt even declares a desire to take part in Halloween.
311* NonActionGuy: They're usually just there to cheer on Goldar, the MonsterOfTheWeek, or the Putties while they fight the Rangers rather than get involved in conflict themselves. Baboo ''does'' once help out the Terror Toad against Kimberly, but it didn't last long. Squatt is occasionally sent down on his lonesome to act as a spy and saboteur but usually retreats once his job is finished, indicating a lack of fighting prowess.
312* NotSoHarmlessVillain:
313** In "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP2HighFive High Five]]," Baboo builds a device that traps the Rangers in another dimension, and in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP12PowerRangerPunks Power Ranger Punks]]," he creates a "punk potion" that turns [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Billy]] and Kimberly into delinquent thugs (and would have done the same to the others if the drink tray hadn't been knocked over by them).
314** Squatt is pretty good at sabotage. In "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP16SwitchingPlaces Switching Places]]," he sabotages Billy's invention, causing him and Kimberly to undergo a FreakyFridayFlip, and in "Foul Play in the Sky," he spikes Kimberly's Uncle Steve's drink, causing him to pass out ''while flying his plane!''
315** In the "Green with Evil" story arc, they help push the bus that Bulk and Skull are trapped in over the cliff and if the Rangers hadn't formed the Megazord in time, they might have succeeded in killing them.
316** Immediately following the "Green with Evil" arc, they create a turtle monster, [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonOne Shellshock]], who, while bizarre-looking even by PR standards, manages to give the heroes a good run for their money before Trini and Tommy save the day.
317* ObsessedWithFood: Both of them, but mostly Squatt. When Goldar specifically tells him that the magical eggs they're after aren't the type you eat, he wonders why eggs are any good if you can't eat them.
318* ProfessionalButtKisser: Both of them really, but especially Baboo.
319* PsychopathicManchild: Squatt is pretty excitable when Rita is making a plan and seems a little too eager to see Rita rule the world. Baboo has shades of it too, though not to the same extreme.
320* TheScapegoat: Out of all of Rita and Zedd’s minions, Rita herself blames most of her failures on them, even when they have little to no responsibility for their dismay. Baboo's character bio specifically says that this trope is one of two reasons why Rita keeps the latter around.
321* SycophanticServant: Baboo.
322* TeamChef: Cooking seems to be one thing Baboo can do competently, even though he uses some unorthodox ingredients (he ''does'' cook for aliens, after all).
323* TerribleTrio: Squatt and Baboo work alongside Rito for a few missions throughout Season 3. Not only do they succeed in their goals each time they work together, but they prove an amusing comedic team as well.
324* TooDumbToLive: Oftentimes they mess up simple errands due to their own incompetence. For instance, when Rita tells them to get an invisibility formula from Trini's uncle, they find an unlabeled bottle and ''drink'' from it, something even ''most children'' know enough not to do. Fortunately for them, it only made them sick.
325* VileVillainLaughableLackey: These two were bumbling villains compared to Rita and Zedd.
326* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
327** Squatt is briefly seen during "[[Recap/PowerRangersInSpaceS1E42CountdownToDestructionPart1 Countdown to Destruction]]," but we never see what happened to him. He was seen very briefly behind Zedd just before the latter's purification and was gone when the wave finished passing, so he may have been KilledOffscreen.
328** Baboo doesn't even have that. He was last seen when the Evil Space Aliens evacuated the moon in "[[Recap/PowerRangersZeoS1E2AZeoBeginningPart2 A Zeo Beginning]]," so we have no idea if he stayed behind in the M51 Galaxy, if he was intended to be with Squatt in Zedd and Rita's army in "Countdown to Destruction" and simply wasn't seen, or what.
329* WouldHitAGirl: Baboo, though it's more of a shove than a hit. During the fight with Terror Toad, [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Kimberly]] prepares to fire her bow at the monster when Baboo sneaks up on her and shoves her aside with enough force to send her flying. He then ominously advances towards her alongside the monster. Once the other Rangers are freed and Terror Toad is destroyed, though, Baboo quickly hightails it back to the moon.

339
340One of Rita's most powerful warriors. Scorpina is a human/scorpion-themed monster that joined Rita during the "Green with Evil" saga.
341----
342* AdaptationalRomanceDowngrade: In the original sentai, Lamie was Griffozer's wife, here Scorpina's relationship with Goldar does not go beyond being simple allies.
343* AlienHair: Her giant monster form has what looks like scorpion legs hanging down from the back of her head.
344* AmbiguouslyHuman: She certainly looks like a human woman, but when Rita uses her magic to make her grow, she becomes a grotesque scorpion monster. We never get clarification if the monster is her true form or just a transformation she takes on.
345* BattleBoomerang: Scorpina's Stinger sword is a large, metal boomerang.
346* BewareMyStingerTail: Scorpina's deadliest technique is her giant form's electrocuting tail sting.
347* BigCreepyCrawlies: Averted with her normal form, but absolutely played straight once she's grown to giant size.
348* BlingOfWar: Like Goldar, Scorpina is dressed in a suit of golden armor.
349* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After her lone appearance in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP29GoldarsViceVersa Goldar's Vice-Versa]]" during Season 2, Scorpina was never seen again. The filming of ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'' went over and several other episodes with her had to be scrapped to get the TV schedule back on track. Besides that, the creators decided along with Rita's return to the series that they were going to take the villains in a more comedic direction, and Sabrina Lu was never contacted for future appearances.[[note]]Though there were plans to include her as one of the many villains in the un-produced ''Hexagon'', which was intended to be the 11th season of Power Rangers.[[/note]]. The ''Soul of the Dragon'' graphic novel eventually brings her back sometime after the events of ''Power Rangers S.P.D.'', revealing that Rita had banished her to the Talos Dimension when she caught Scorpina reading her spell books and thought Scorpina was plotting against her. Being out of dimension is what spared her from the Z-Wave, but the comic's plot sees her new master Lokar the Terrible (ruler of said Talos Dimension) eventually killing her for failing him.
350* CoDragons: Is this with Goldar.
351* DarkActionGirl: Very much evil, and could go toe to toe with all five Rangers.
352* ADayInTheLimelight: “[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP30TheRockstar The Rockstar]],” in which she's the main threat of the episode and even gets to create her own monster - [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonOne Rockstar]] - for the first and only time.
353* DemotedToExtra: Compared to Lamie, Scorpina wasn't written with that much to her besides being a DarkActionGirl. Her relationship with Goldar was removed, most of the face footage of her going at it with the heroes was unusable, and when they tried to get her back in the middle of Season 2, they decided to quietly drop her and eventually was replaced by Rito in the third season.
354* DualBoss: She would frequently fight the Rangers and Zords alongside Goldar, and each time they fought together the Rangers would just ''barely'' achieve victory.
355* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: When the Megazord nearly gets Goldar to look into the [[MagicMirror Mirror of Destruction]] (which instantly kills anyone who looks into it), which Scorpina is holding at the time, she quickly throws it aside rather than let any harm come to him.
356* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: She looks and acts rather sweet when not in a combat situation, but when she is, lookout. She's as ruthless and sadistic as Goldar, and Baboo claims she has just as violent a past.
357* FairestOfThemAll: When Scorpina first showed up, it sparked Rita asking Squatt and Baboo which of the two of them was prettier, though it wasn't clear if she was actually insecure or if she was just messing with them.
358* FemmeFatale: Oh, yes. When the villains up until "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP19GreenWithEvilPart3TheRescue Green With Evil]]" had been either an [[WickedWitch old witch]] or [[PeopleInRubberSuits rubber suit monsters]], Scorpina was a very different type of Evil Space Alien.
359* FlatCharacter: Compared to Goldar and the others, she doesn't have much of an established personality. Suffering from being [[DemotedToExtra regulated to the background]] in most episodes didn't help matters.
360* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: While not as blatant as Goldar's armor, Scorpina's helmet, chest, and arm armor are bright, shiny gold.
361* HandBlast: She could fire a multicolored energy beam from her armored hand. Her monster form could also fire off explosive balls of light from her scorpion claw.
362* HomingProjectile: Her 'sting' in human form was an energy ball that bounced off one Ranger to hit another.
363* InformedAbility: [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Alpha 5]], Squatt, and Baboo all speak of Scorpina's "evil sting" and how terrible it is. While yes, she is indeed a skilled and powerful opponent, she doesn't seem to have a notable stinging ability that would cause all who know about it to tremble. Perhaps they were speaking of the electrocuting sting her giant form uses against the Megazord in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP20GWEPart4EclipsingMegazord Green With Evil Part IV]]," but the way they speak about it, they seem to be implying it's something she can do at human size as well, which never happens.
364* LoveInterestTraitor: She uses her human disguise "Sabrina" to gain Adam's affections and lure him (and Aisha, who didn't trust her) into a trap.
365* MinionShipping: Small example, as she flirted with Goldar now and then, but little ever resulted. This is because their counterparts were ''married'' in ''Zyuranger''.
366* MonstrousMandibles: In monster form, she seems to have what looks like an oversized pair of these sticking out of the sides of her head.
367* OneWingedAngel: The first of the franchise, and definitely one of the most memorable, going from a [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/12fd457a0ec248b312164ad18f0f7ee5/3e46534142113c33-90/s500x750/accee9119e091d86779d975e717c76552a3aa0f4.gif pretty Asian woman]] to a [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/167c62daa2e2d875eb93eb654d53dfee/3e46534142113c33-e5/s500x750/249f908353e75ab83e28444ea71e8eb98ce2aad5.gif grotesque scorpion creature]], although it seems she can only assume monstrous form while giant-sized.
368* PowerPincers: One of these replaces her left hand upon growing to giant size.
369* RightHandAttackDog: Scorpina had a pet silkworm in one episode which enveloped the Rangers in a large cocoon. By the end of the episode, it evolved into the monstrous [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonOne Weaveworm]] and battled the Zords.
370* ScaryScorpions: She is named Scorpina for a reason, as she is based on scorpions. This becomes more apparent after transforming into the form of a huge scorpion creature.
371* ScorpionPeople: Vaguely so in human form, but overtly so once she grows to giant size. She gains an arachnid-like face, a scorpion claw in place of her left hand, and a deadly stinging tail.
372* SealedEvilInACan: Possibly. When she first arrives, she appears to be inside a large boulder (which is crawling with ordinary scorpions). Whether she was trapped within the boulder and freed by Rita or it's simply some sort of form of transportation for her is never specified.
373* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: While she wasn't ''too'' skimpy, as this was still a kid's show, Scorpina's outfit did show a fair amount of skin.
374* SuperToughness: In "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP29GoldarsViceVersa Goldar's Vice-Versa]]," when she and Goldar are fighting the Thunder Zords, they are blasted by the Thunder ''Ultrazord'' and merely get knocked back. Not only are the Thunder Zords notably stronger than the Dino Zords, but [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Zordon]] had specifically boosted the Ultrazord's power output for this particular fight. It was the first time in the franchise, and the only time in ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', that an Ultrazord failed to kill its target.
375* TookALevelInBadass: While she was already a lethal warrior before, in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP29GoldarsViceVersa Goldar's Vice-Versa]]" she and Goldar were so tough the Rangers required the ''Thunder Ultrazord'' to drive them off (and even then the Ultrazord wasn't able to kill them). Compare that to Season 1, in which the original Megazord alone was able to defeat them.
376* TheVamp: G-rated example; her plans to ambush Adam involves some flirting and a feigned crush.

379[[folder:Mordant]]
380!!Mordant
381[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_mordant_9.png]]
382[[caption-width-right:350:''"Yeah, I could do that. I just choose not to."'']]
383->'''Portrayed by:''' Jean Paul Bell
384->'''Voiced by:''' Martin G. Metcalf
385
386Mordant was a pig-like alien that served Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa (and later Ivan Ooze) along with Goldar, and was responsible for a fair deal of [[Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie the movie's]] comic relief.
387----
388* AffablyEvil: Mordant was a fairly laid back, easy going, happy-to-help (though lazy) type person, never outright showing any desire to do anyone direct harm, unlike Goldar or other villains from the show, such as Rito or Scorpina.
389* AmbiguouslyRelated: In an earlier draft of the script, he was described as Goldar's cousin who was visiting for the summer. The film itself never states what they are to each other, though, so they could still have the familial connection and it just goes unsaid, or they're simply co-workers.
390* BigEater: His first line of dialogue is him getting hungry upon seeing the egg that Ivan Ooze is trapped in.
391-->'''Goldar:''' [[LampshadeHanging That's 'cause you're a pig!]]
392* BlatantLies: Claims he could've taken out the guards as easily as Zedd did, but given [[NonActionGuy his status...]]
393* BumblingHenchmenDuo: He and Goldar were one of these, with probably their most bumbling moment being neither of them noticing Fred wandering around the construction site pretty blatantly.
394* CanonForeigner: He exists only in the film and has no Sentai counterpart. It was explained in the first draft of the movie script that he was a cousin of Goldar's visiting for the summer, but it was left out in the final product, leaving many fans confused as to who he was and why he was even there.
395* CompositeCharacter: While it's not clear if it was intentional, some fans have pointed out his shared characteristics with Squatt (a fat alien with hoggish features) and Baboo (a monocle over the right eye with similar hair), doubled with the fact that said villains are not included in the movie, may make him a fusion of the two.
396* DeadpanSnarker: Has a couple of moments.
397* DragonAscendant: What he would've been to Goldar if Zedd and Rita hadn't come back to their palace, none-too-happy about their minions' earlier betrayal.
398* FangsAreEvil: He has a pair of fairly large tusks jutting out of his bottom jaw.
399* FatBastard: Has a noticeable gut and is on the villains' side.
400* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Hilariously subverted:
401-->'''Ivan:''' You forget; I'm a master of disguise!
402-->'''Mordant:''' [[DumbassHasAPoint How could I forget? I never knew.]]
403* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Along with Goldar, he watches over the construction site as the parents of Angel Grove excavate the Ecto-Morphicons. Neither of them notices [[KidAppealCharacter Fred]] sneaking around, even though he's being really obvious about it.
404* HighClassGlass: Mordant wears a monocle. For some reason.
405* HorrifyingTheHorror: While he may not be the most terrifying of evildoers, Mordant was still clearly frightened by the Ecto-Morphicons once they were brought to life. So much so that he doesn't even join Ivan and Goldar in watching them attack Angel Grove.
406* InformedAbility: Mordant says to Goldar that he could've taken the security guards watching Ivan's chamber out himself, but whether he actually could've or he was just joking, he never does anything remotely like it during the entire movie.
407* LazyBum: He's more than happy to help his evil masters take over the world... As long as it doesn't require a lot of effort on his end.
408* MeaningfulName: "Mordant" is in fact a word that can mean possessing a witty, sarcastic, and biting quality as a speaker; as the film's comic relief, Mordant has biting sarcasm to spare.
409* NonActionGuy: Does not visibly partake in any fighting. He doesn't even join Ivan and Goldar to watch the Ecto-Morphicons destroy the city (likely because he's scared of them).
410-->[''Lord Zedd zaps two security guards with lightning, knocking them unconscious.'']
411-->'''Mordant:''' Yeah, ''I'' could do that. I just choose not to.
412* OhCrap: He and Goldar upon seeing their old bosses are free and pissed.
413* PigMan: Unlike [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonOne Pudgy Pig]], he's more humanoid.
414* PlotIrrelevantVillain: He doesn't contribute much aside from the occasional funny line. Even Squatt and Baboo did things occasionally to sabotage the Rangers' social plans.
415* RememberTheNewGuy: Mordant is never properly introduced, he's just already a member of Zedd and Rita's crew when the movie begins, with no one asking for or providing an explanation as to where he came from.
416* ShooOutTheClowns: When the Ecto-Morphicons are activated, Mordant is clearly terrified of them. He's not seen again until the post-credit scene with Goldar at the end.
417* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Squatt and Baboo.

420[[folder:Rito Revolto]]
421!!Rito Revolto
422[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_rito_revolto.png]]
423[[caption-width-right:350: ''"Well, I'd like to stay, but I gotta run. You know how that Ed can be."'']]
424->'''Portrayed by:''' Danny Wayne Stallcup
425->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BobPapenbrook, Mario Raúl López (Latin American Spanish)
426
427Rita's brother, Rito Revolto was a bumbling, seemingly undead warrior who arrived on the moon to help his sister and brother-in-law fight the Power Rangers. After some initial success in which he destroyed the Thunder Zords, Rito stayed around to help continue the fight against the Rangers.
428----
429* AccidentalMisnaming: He never, ever gets it through his head that his brother-in-law's name is ''Zedd'', not Ed.
430* AdaptationalComicRelief: Gasha Dokuro is portrayed in ''[[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger Kakuranger]]'' as a [[{{Sadist}} sadistic]] OmnicidalManiac with a penchant for rock music. Here, he's the AffablyEvil ButtMonkey and DumbMuscle of Season 3.
431* AdaptationalDumbass: His Sentai counterpart, Gasha Dokuro, was one of the most dangerous foes the Kakurangers had faced, having successfully brought back Daimaou to the human world, even after his death. Here, he is nowhere near as smart and his stupidity [[NiceJobFixingItVillain would end up giving the Rangers an edge]].
432* AdaptationSpeciesChange: As with the ''[[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Zyuranger]]'' villains, Rito's mythological origins are completely ignored in ''Power Rangers'', as he goes from a {{Gashadokuro}} {{Youkai}} to just another alien being.
433* AdaptationalWimp: In ''Kakuranger'', he was able to defeat the Red Ranger and the team's mentor single-handedly. Here, while Rito was able to destroy the Thunder Megazord and Tigerzord, he had help from four other monsters. After that, he tends to go down just as easily as Goldar in the later seasons. Come ''[[Series/PowerRangersZeo Zeo]]'', and the amnesia he and Goldar suffered ended with them working for Bulk and Skull as "butlers."
434* AffablyEvil: He's dim, but friendly with the other villains. He even gave Goldar a Christmas present at one point. He even likes Zedd even though he never met him beforehand. Knowing he's his brother-in-law now was enough for him to like the guy.
435* AlliterativeName: '''R'''ito '''R'''evolto. It seems to [[AlliterativeFamily run in the family]].
436* AscendedExtra: His ''Kakuranger'' counterpart was already a main villain, but Rito had an even larger role that spanned two whole seasons.
437* BaitAndSwitchCharacterIntro: When the creepy skeleton soldier monster arrives on the moon in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP4NinjaQuestPart1 Ninja Quest Part I]]," the scene is portrayed as quite serious. The new villain rises up from the ground, his eyes [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing evilly]] as he plants eggs in the lunar soil and plans to pay "a visit" to Rita and Zedd as ominous music plays. Keep in mind, the last time a new major villain appeared, it was Ivan Ooze in [[Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie the movie]], who usurped Rita and Zedd and nearly killed Zordon and the Rangers in the process. And the time before ''that'' was the arrival of Lord Zedd, who ''also'' debuted in a season premiere like this one. Clearly, this new villain was going to be some bad news... Until he's revealed to be Rita's dumbass baby brother about a minute later.
438* BewareTheSillyOnes: As goofy as he is, Rito ''was'' able to give the Thunder Zords a good fight and lead his fellow monsters in destroying them, something even Goldar couldn't do.
439* BodyPaint: The left-hand side of his body is camo-painted.
440* TheBrute: Is very stupid, but also very strong, being at least as powerful as Goldar. Therefore, he gets sent out to do most of the dirty work.
441* BumblingHenchmenDuo: Rito and Goldar are often paired together for missions, with varying levels of success.
442* BumblingSidekick: To Rita and Zedd. Goldar as well on occasion, when they weren't specifically assigned a mission together but Rito wanted to tag along anyway.
443* ButtMonkey: The entire Evil Space Alien crew frequently insults and mocks Rito, usually to his face.
444* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Was last seen at the very end of ''Zeo'' and never returned. RealLifeWritesThePlot, as his suit fell into disrepair and reportedly had to be patched up more than once during ''Zeo''. [[note]]He was going to be purified along with Rita and Zedd in one draft of "[[Recap/PowerRangersInSpaceS1E43CountdownToDestructionPart2 Countdown to Destruction]]" but the suit deteriorating made that impossible.[[/note]]
445* CoDragons: Replaces Scorpina as Goldar's partner.
446* CoolHelmet: He wears an old-school American Army helmet painted in a TwoFaced motif; half-bleached bones, half-jungle camo.
447* CoolSword: He wields a sword with a skeletal motif to it.
448* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's as powerful as [[TheDragon Goldar]] despite his dim-witted persona.
449* CurbStompBattle: Rito gets the absolute daylights beaten out of him by the Ninja Megazord / [=MegaFalconzord=]. None of his attacks do anything to it.
450* ADayInTheLimelight: In "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP10WizardforaDay Wizard for a Day]]," when he takes over for Zedd and Rita after they tell him they want to take a break. It's mostly their way of saying "Let's see ''you'' do better!" and they prove their point, even though he tries his best.
451* DeadpanSnarker: He's this during his fight with the Thunder Megazord and Tigerzord, issuing snarky commands to the monsters he's leading and sarcastically asking if he has to do everything himself. He isn't nearly as clever in later appearances.
452* DemBones: He looks like a skeleton with elements of a modern soldier.
453* DestroyTheVillainsWeapon: Rito's flamethrower gets trashed by the Ninja Megazord's first [[FinishingMove power]] [[PowerFist punch]].
454* DualBoss: He's this with Goldar in multiple episodes, with probably the best example being when they have Tommy beaten and cornered in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP18ARangerCatastrophePart2 A Ranger Catastrophe]]." He also fights the Rangers alongside his monster Marvo the Meanie in "Wizard for a Day."
455* DumbMuscle: Is one of the dumbest villains in Rita and Zedd's gang, but still packs quite a punch. In fact, he managed to destroy the Thunder Zords during his first appearance.
456* EvilCannotComprehendGood: In the ending credits of "[[ChristmasEpisode I'm Dreaming of a White Ranger]]," he doesn’t get the meaning of the holiday spirit when some of the elves try to explain it to him.
457* ExposedExtraterrestrials: Rita, Goldar, Finster, Squatt, Scorpina, Zedd (kind of), and Master Vile all wear clothes. Rito and Baboo do not.
458* FireBreathingWeapon: He's got an arm-mounted flamethrower in his arsenal, which looks cool, but doesn't help him much against the Ninja Megazord. His sword was also capable of shooting bursts of fire.
459* FlyingFace: His method of teleportation is to have his body disappear and his head ricochet off in whatever direction he needs to go.
460* ForgetfulJones: When he brings a large number of eggs with him to the moon that eventually hatch [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonThree Vampirus]] and the Tenga Warriors (specifically as a wedding present for Rita and Zedd), Rito is asked several times by the couple what's inside them, and he repeatedly forgets.
461** Later, in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP15ThePotionNotion The Potion Notion]]," Zedd had put Rito in charge of refuelling Serpentera, which he naturally forgot to do.
462* ForgottenPhlebotinum: Rito only ever uses his flamethrower and jetpack against the Ninja Zords (which he only fights twice) for some reason.
463* FriendlySkeleton: He tries to be friends with Goldar and Zedd despite their obvious dislike of him, and even has a friendly chat with the Rangers mid-fight on occasion.
464* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Though Rita seems to genuinely care for her brother despite their frequent bickering, and Squatt once made a comment that "he kinda likes Rito" (though what he meant was never clarified - maybe he found him amusing?), ''everyone'' in the Lunar Palace is constantly annoyed and frustrated with Rito's incompetent, oblivious, wisecracking nature.
465* {{Gashadokuro}}: What Rito's counterpart was in ''Kakuranger''.
466* HandBlast: Rito had the ability to fire a powerful laser blast from his left hand.
467* HypocriticalHumor: On occasion, he chides Squatt and Baboo for their stupidity in dawdling about, overlooking the fact that he's not particularly brainy himself.
468* InsufferableImbecile: He's both an asshole and dumb as a bag of hammers.
469* IronButtMonkey: He's tough enough to survive the Ninja Megazord's finishing attack (in the American version), not that he was ever keen on trying again.
470* {{Jetpack}}: [[BadassBoast "So, you wanna take to the sky, do ya? I can do that."]] He just can't do it very well, as the Ninja [=MegaFalconzord=] knocked him ''out'' of the sky with a single kick.
471* TheKlutz: Rito has an awful tendency to inadvertently ruin the villains' plans with his stupidity. Probably the worst of these was accidentally releasing the captive [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Ninjor]], which ultimately lead to the Rangers retrieving the Zeo Crystal and defeating the Blue Globbor, and losing the remote control designed for [[Characters/PowerRangersZeo Louie Kaboom]], which allowed the robot to break away from Rita and Zedd and take command of the Machine Empire for his own interests. Even on a smaller scale he tends to do things like breaking the head off a clay monster mold when trying to sculpt a monster, or breaking a piece off of Rita's [=RepulsaScope=] when trying to use it.
472* LaughablyEvil: Most of the evil things he does other than defeating the Thunder Megazord fall under this. For instance, he manages to place Master Vile's [[MineralMacGuffin Orb of Doom]] in the right spot ''entirely'' due to dumb luck.
473* {{Nepotism}}: The entire reason Rito gets to hang around is that he's Rita's brother, otherwise Zedd and Goldar likely would've kicked him out immediately.
474* NoodleIncident: Just what happened to Rito to make him an undead skeleton?
475* NoSenseOfDirection: Is incapable of finding his way out of Rita's throne room, and has to turn around and ask for directions.
476* OverlordJr: Rito's always trying to impress his father Master Vile and help out with his plans.
477* ThePigPen: Notes that he 'got a shower last month' and cleans his teeth once a year. He also stinks ''very'' bad.
478* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Rito leads the resurrected [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonOne Fighting Flea, Lizzinator]], [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonTwo Octophantom, and Stag Beetle]] into ambushing and overwhelming the Thunder Zords. It's one of the few times that the tactic [[TeamRocketWins worked]].
479* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: When he loses Louie Kaboom's remote control, Rito starts panicking and goes on a rant where he says "I'm nothing but a washed-up, three-thousand-year-old pile of bones with a midlife crisis!" This also suggests that the skeletal form we know him in may not be his original form, as there's no way Rito can only be 3,000 years old and he and Rita (who was imprisoned for TenThousandYears) would know each other.
480* RedEyesTakeWarning: Rito's eyes flash red when he initially arrives on the moon.
481* RunningGag: His habit of referring to Zedd as "Ed," along with the fits Zedd threw as a result.
482* ShockAndAwe: Rito was capable of shooting lightning bolts from his eyes and sword.
483* ShoutOut: In his first few appearances, his voice and mannerisms are a dead ringer for [[Film/BeetleJuice Betelgeuse]].
484* SparedByTheAdaptation: His ''Kakuranger'' counterpart did not survive his fight with the Ninja Megazord's.
485* StealthPun: He's an animated skeleton and is really dumb. [[spoiler: A bonehead, in other words.]]
486* SuperToughness: Though he doesn't pull it off quite as well as his dad does later in the season, Rito still nevertheless tanks several [[FinishingMove finishing attacks]] from the Ninja [=MegaFalconzord=] and lives to tell the tale.
487* SwordBeam: Rito could launch lightning bolts and blasts of fire from his sword. In "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP16ImDreamingOfAWhiteRanger I'm Dreaming of a White Ranger]]," when the magic and polarity of the North Pole neutralizes everyone's powers, he is shocked that his sword's laser "doesn't work."
488* TerribleTrio: Rito worked alongside Squatt and Baboo for a few missions throughout Season 3. Not only do they succeed in their goals each time they work together, but they prove an amusing comedic team as well.
489* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: He showed up to give Rita and Zedd a wedding present, and then just stuck around, much to their constant annoyance.
490* TooDumbToLive: Often. Rito feels the best way to shut off a bomb is to hit it with a hammer, and that's just the top of the list.
491* UncleanlinessIsNextToUngodliness: He's known to have ''incredibly'' foul body odor, so much that he was even able to shock Bulk and Skull awake with it in one episode. Exactly how a skeletal warrior like him with no skin and thus no sweat glands can attain such a stink is best left unexplained. Poor Katherine had to give him a deep tissue massage. ''Eww''.
492* TheUndead: While it's never really said ''what'' Rito's status is, he certainly doesn't ''look'' alive.
493* UnderestimatingBadassery: Upon seeing the Ninja Zords form the Ninja Megazord for the first time, Rito confidently comments "One target instead of five? I can deal with that." [[CurbStompBattle He could not, in fact, deal with that]].
494* UndyingLoyalty: For all his faults Rito's loyalty to his big sister Rita is without question.
495* UnexplainedRecovery: In his first fight against the Ninja Zords, Rito is struck with multiple [[FinishingMove finishers]] from the Ninja Megazord / [=MegaFalconzord=], falls over, explodes into a ball of fire... and is seen perfectly unharmed in the next scene. While finishers had failed to kill monsters before, this was the first time a monster or villain had survived being (seemingly) successfully destroyed.
496* VillainDecay: He started out as a skilled, sarcastic warrior who led several monsters in destroying the Rangers' Zords. It was all downhill from there.
497* TheWorfEffect: He did manage to defeat the Thunder Megazord (with help) but that was the only thing he did right; he was quickly worfed himself by the Ninja Zords. This demonstrates how much of an upgrade the latter is to the former.
498* YouNeedABreathMint: While Rito stinks in general, the Rangers comment on his bad breath in one episode when he, giant-sized, tries to blow them back before they can call on their Zords.

510
511A mysterious, extremely dangerous intergalactic entity that would assist Rita when she needed him, though due to how dangerous he was even she wouldn't call on him except for the biggest of plans.
512----
513* AdaptationalIntelligence: While his ''[[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Zyuranger]]'' counterpart could only speak in laughs and grunts, Lokar can talk. Though he doesn't talk very much, see "TheQuietOne" Below.
514* AdaptationalWimp: While Lokar is hardly a wimp by any means, he's still merely some supernatural entity that Rita calls upon to do her bidding, whereas his counterpart in ''Zyuranger'' was [[{{Satan}} Satan himself]] and was in fact in charge of Bandora and her crew.
515* BreathWeapon: His Breath of Doom, which could mutate monsters into [[MetamorphosisMonster more powerful forms]].
516* {{Bowdleri|se}}zation: His ''Zyuranger'' counterpart was ''literally Satan''. That definitely wouldn't fly on American children's television, then or now.
517* TheCameo: He makes a brief appearance in the Boom comics in the recounting of how Rita and Lord Drakkon conquered the Earth, where he's seen fighting the Thunder Zords alongside Pumpkin Rapper.
518* CoveredWithScars: When Lokar returns in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP39DoomsdayPart1 Doomsday]]," he has red scars all over his face, presumably from the attack he received from the Ultrazord in his previous appearance.
519* DarkIsEvil: The skies darken when Lokar arrives, both in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP28IslandOfIllusionPart1 Island of Illusion Part I]]" and "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP39DoomsdayPart1 Doomsday Part I]]."
520* DecompositeCharacter: His Sentai counterpart's role as Bandora/Rita's master went to Lord Zedd.
521* DemotedToExtra: Kind of. He had a minor role in ''Zyuranger'' too, but he was Bandora's (Rita's Sentai counterpart) master as well as the FinalBoss. Here his relation to Rita isn't as quite defined but he appears to more of an ally of hers instead of a servant.
522* DiscOneFinalBoss: Had ''Doomsday'' been the the final episode, he would've been the last monster the Rangers confronted, much as in ''Zyuranger''. The popularity of the series necessitated that the show go on, however.
523* EldritchAbomination: He appears as a giant face in the sky that has power beyond that of any clay monster. Tellingly, his ''Zyuranger'' analog was the Devil.
524* EnigmaticMinion: Rita refers to him as "heavy artillery" and Baboo claims he nearly wiped them all out the last time she summoned him. Clearly they fear his power as much as they require it, but his past is never delved into.
525* EvilLaugh: A rather menacing one, almost identical to Lord Zedd's. [[note]]Due to them both being voiced by Creator/RobertAxelrod.[[/note]]
526* KnightOfCerebus: Situations are much more serious whenever he shows up.
527* MadeOfIron: He's the only monster who survives a full blast from the Ultrazord. He does at least [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere make a run for it after getting shot,]] suggesting another blast would have destroyed him.
528* OurDemonsAreDifferent: While ''Power Rangers'' does away with any reference to Lokar being [[{{Satan}} the Devil]] (as his counterpart was in ''Zyuranger''), there's still clearly something demonic in nature about him, though he's not the obvious "red with a pitchfork" type.
529* TheQuietOne: Lokar says very little during his two appearances on Earth, only ever speaking two lines during the entire season ("Feel the power of Lokar!" in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP28IslandOfIllusionPart1 Island of Illusion Part I]]" and "They're all yours, Rita!" in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP40DoomsdayPart2 Doomsday Part II]]"). This is still more lines than his ''Zyuranger'' counterpart, who was TheVoiceless.
530* FlyingFace: He looks like a giant floating head with spines on his head. However, the ''Soul of the Dragon'' graphic novel revealed that he does have a body.
531* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He disappears for good after coming close to death and seeing his work on Cyclopsis get destroyed a few times too many. [[note]]He suffered from YourHeadASplode in ''Zyuranger'', but this was cut, as it somehow managed to be both disturbing ''and'' [[SpecialEffectFailure cheap-looking]] at the same time.[[/note]] He returns in the ''Soul of the Dragon'' graphic novel as Scorpina's new master.
532* ShockAndAwe: He can fire bolts of lightning from his eyes and hair-spikes.
533* SparedByTheAdaptation: Lokar survives after nearly getting killed, but his Japanese counterpart was blown to bits alongside Dora Talos (a.k.a. Cyclopsis the Warzord in ''Power Rangers'').
534* SpikesOfVillainy: His ''hair'' is made out of them.
535* ThirdPersonPerson: In one of his (two) lines he says "Feel the power of Lokar!"
536* VillainousLineage: Despite being an enormous demonic specter, he apparently had a family of sorts, as his nephew Lothorn appears to battle the Dino Fury Rangers years later in ''Series/PowerRangersDinoFury''.
537* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He disappears after the first season and is never seen again in the show. [[note]]There were plans to include him as one of the many villains in the un-produced ''Hexagon'', which was intended to be the 11th season of Power Rangers before ''Power Rangers Ninja Storm'' was created instead.[[/note]] He eventually returned in the ''Soul of the Dragon'' comic, revealing that he's still alive even in the S.P.D. era, having survived the [[WorldHealingWave Z-Wave]] via hiding in the Talos Dimension.
538* YouHaveFailedMe: After Scorpina fails in ''Soul of the Dragon'', he kills her.

542!! Wizard of Deception
543[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_wizardofdeception.png]]
544 [[caption-width-right:350:''"Surprise, Zordon! I'm back!"'']]
545->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TonyOliver
546
547An evil, time-traveling wizard summoned for Rita by the Ghost of Darkness. He creates a clone of Tommy with fully functional Green Ranger powers, then sends the other Rangers back in time to Colonial era Angel Grove.
548----
549* BigEntrance: He has a habit of these, especially when dealing with the main five Rangers, often appearing in high places like in trees or on rooftops.
550* BigNo: He screams one of these when [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Tommy]] steals his magic wand and uses it to rescue the other Rangers from the past.
551* BlackCloak: The Wizard's outfit of choice.
552* BlackMagic: His magic is used for various dark purposes, from mind controlling [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Bulk and Skull]] to giving life to a clone of Tommy whose mindset is evil from the get go. When the clone later summons the Dragonzord from its slumber, the Wizard energizes the Zord "with evil."
553* {{Brainwashed}}: He does this to Bulk and Skull and later the [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Dragonzord]] (somehow), and it's implied he was doing this with the Green Ranger clone as well, considering he has a HeelFaceTurn as soon as the Wizard is dead.
554* CanonForeigner: He's a completely original creation of ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' and doesn't originate from ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'' at all.
555* ComplexityAddiction: The Wizard of Deception and his squad of Z-Putties have Tommy knocked unconscious, but rather than take the opportunity to simply kill him and rid themselves of the [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers White Ranger]], they cut off some of his hair and teleport away, so the Wizard can use the hair to create an evil Tommy clone... Who they hope will be able to rid them of the White Ranger.
556* DualBoss: He's this with his evil Green Ranger, intervening with his magic whenever the clone's combat skills aren't getting the job done.
557* EekAMouse: He witnesses [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Aisha]] react badly to trio of rats she was sitting near, which inspires him to transform them into human-sized monsters.
558* EmptyPilesOfClothing: The Wizard's black cloak is the only thing that remains after he gets vaporized by his own magic.
559* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: No one ever calls the Wizard of Deception anything but "the Wizard," if not his full title of "the Wizard of Deception."
560* EvilSorcerer: With his scary, burning skull face, his black cloak, and his evil magic powers, the Wizard fits this trope to a 'T.'
561* EvilWearsBlack: The Wizard's cloak is simple, classic, black.
562* FlamingSkulls: An interesting variation of this trope. The Wizard's skull-like head isn't flaming in the traditional sense, but rather the fire is burning ''inside'' his head, clearly visible through his mouth and eye sockets.
563* ForcedSleep: When Bulk and Skull fail in their mission, the Wizard angrily zaps them with a lightning bolt with a clawed hand at the end, rendering them both unconscious for a long time. He later uses a multicolored beam to demorph Tommy and briefly put him to sleep when the fight between the White and Green Rangers goes on a little too long for his liking.
564* GladIThoughtOfIt: Rita and Zedd get into an argument over whose idea it was to summon the Wizard of Deception (Technically, it was Goldar's. Zedd's only idea was to send the Rangers back in time, but Goldar thought of using the Wizard to do so). Zedd ultimately said it didn't matter whose idea the plan was, since it was working.
565* GlassCannon: He wields powerful magic, but he isn't built for head-on physical fighting ''at all''. A single kick from Tommy keeps the Wizard down for a good, long while.
566* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Wizard isn't beaten by the Power Blaster or the [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Thunder Zords]], but rather by having Tommy vaporize him with his own magic wand. Tommy even spells it out for him (and us): "Your own evil magic will be your downfall!"
567* HumansAreMorons: The Wizard of Deception's reaction after having extreme difficulty giving even the simplest of instructions to Bulk and Skull (''who are already brainwashed by his magic'') is to simply shake his head and sigh "Humans."
568* HypnoticEyes: He turns Bulk and Skull into his obedient minions by firing red energy bolts out of his eyes and into theirs. He even says the classic line "Look into my eyes..." before doing so.
569* IdiotBall: While powerful, thinking things through is seemingly not the Wizard's strong suit. He recruits Bulk and Skull of all people to do his bidding, he intentionally leaves Tommy alive when the teen is unconscious and at his mercy ''twice'', and he allows his Green Ranger clone to run his mouth instead of telling him to keep quiet, which results in the rescue of the five other Rangers.
570* InformedAbility: Zordon says that the Wizard has the power to create illusions that then become reality, but while the Wizard does have the ability to bring monsters to life, he never does anything involving illusions, as his creations are real from the start.
571* MagicWand: One of these is the Wizard's main weapon. It's blue and gold, with a small skull on top.
572* MakerOfMonsters: Like Lord Zedd, the Wizard possesses the ability to create monsters by zapping living beings with magical energy from his wand. Using this, he creates a clone of Tommy out of a lock of the real Tommy's hair, as well as turn some ordinary rats in Ben's barn into human-sized rat monsters to terrorize the Rangers with.
573* MixAndMatchCritters: The Wizard's head is a green, almost reptilian-looking skull, while his hands are decidedly human-looking.
574* MysteriousPast: We never learn any specifics about his and Zordon's history, only that they were rivals.
575* NestedMouths: On occasion, we can catch a glimpse of a smaller, more human-like mouth within the Wizard's fiery jaws.
576* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: He can travel through time, create monsters, brainwash people into obedient slaves, put people to sleep, conjure items into existence, demorph fully morphed Power Rangers, and fire explosive energy bolts.
577* NoBodyLeftBehind: The Wizard gets completely vaporized when Tommy turns his own magic against him, with only [[EmptyPilesOfClothing his black cloak left laying on the ground]].
578* NoodleIncident: When he sends the Green Ranger to the Command Center to threaten [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Zordon]], the Wizard declares "My revenge is sweet!" But we never find out what he's trying to get revenge ''for''.
579* NonActionGuy: Aside from casting the occasional magic from his wand, the Wizard mainly just stands around menacingly, watching as the White and Green Rangers battle it out. He is completely incapable of physcically defendng himself; once Tommy gets motivated and aims to take his wand away from him, there's almost nothing he can do about it.
580* OffTheShelfFX: Aside from the fiery effects in his eyes and mouth, his green, skull-like face is a completely untouched Halloween mask. His black cloak and magic wand likely came from similar sources.
581* OntologicalInertia: Partially. Killing him doesn't decreate the clone of Tommy or the [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonTwo giant rats]], but it does free the clone of his apparent mind control.
582* RememberTheNewGuy: Zordon specifically states that the Wizard is his old rival, and he, [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Alpha]], Rita, Zedd, and Goldar all speak as if he was a major player in previous events thousands of years ago, but he's never mentioned once prior to the [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP44ReturnoftheGreenRangerPart1 "Return of]] [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP45ReturnoftheGreenRangerPart2 the Green]] [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP46ReturnoftheGreenRangerPart3 Ranger" trilogy]].
583* SkeletonMotif: Both his head and the top of his magic wand are skulls.
584* SkullForAHead: His head is a pointy-toothed skull filled with fire.
585* SlaveMooks: He turns Bulk and Skull into these in his first attempt to collect a lock of Tommy's hair. It works about as well as you'd expect it to.
586* TimeMaster: Thanks to his powers, the Wizard is capable of casually sending himself and others back and forth through time. It's specifically because of this ability that Zedd wants to summon him in the first place, in order to get rid of the Rangers by stranding them back in time.
587* VillainTeleportation: When he first arrives on Earth, he's seen shooting down towards the planet in a large fireball. After that, he teleports with a rising and falling fire effect, similar to Goldar.

591!!Hydro Hog
592[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlcsnap_2020_09_27_02h51m16s026.png]]
593[[caption-width-right:350: ''"In the blink of an eye, all the water of this planet will belong to me!"'']]
594->'''Voiced by:''' Brad Orchard
595
596The archnemesis of the Alien Rangers of Aquitar, Hydro Hog was summoned to Earth by Lord Zedd to evaporate all of the Earth's water supply when the Aquitians were proving too troublesome for him and Rita to overcome.
597----
598* {{Acrofatic}}: Hydro Hog is a surprisingly speedy opponent, able to match the [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Alien Rangers]] in hand to hand combat despite his heft.
599* AdaptationSpeciesChange: As with the other ''[[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger Kakuranger]]'' villains, he goes from being a Japanese {{Youkai}} to an extraterrestrial.
600* AdvertisingOnlyContinuity: The Shogun Megazord's toy commercial featured Hydro Hog as a [[MonsterOfTheWeek monster]] created by Lord Zedd and fighting the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, instead of being the BigBad to the Alien Rangers.
601* AnchorsAway: Hydro Hog uses a large anchor (of the 'strapped to a chain' variety) as a melee weapon.
602* ArchEnemy: Hydro Hog serves as this to the Aquitian Rangers, being their personal BigBad and a direct threat to them as he can drain water directly from their bodies.
603* AscendedExtra: Hydro Hog's Sentai counterpart was a minor MonsterOfTheWeek as oppose to being a BigBad to a group of Rangers.
604* AstralProjection: When first summoned by Lord Zedd, Hydro Hog uses this ability to answer his call and see what his fellow evil warlord needs him for.
605* BreathWeapon: Oddly, despite being a water-draining being from a water planet, Hydro Hog has the ability to breathe fire.
606* CurbStompBattle: After having foiled the Shogun Megazord's ThemeMusicPowerUp, Hydro Hog proceeds to pummel the Megazord into submission, causing it to fade away and temporarily leaving the Alien Rangers without their Zords. He soon ends up on the receiving end of one of these himself once the [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Falconzord]] shows up.
607* TheDayTheMusicLied: The [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Shogun Megazord]] powers up its finisher as [[ThemeMusicPowerUp "Go Go Alien Rangers"]] kicks in. Clearly, the fight has already been won and this was just another of Season 3's many brief Zord fights. Not the case - Hydro Hog ''catches'' the Fire Saber in his hands and proceeds to deliver a quick and brutal beatdown to the Megazord.
608* TheDreaded: His ability to evaporate water makes him a far bigger threat to the Aquitian Rangers than even Zedd, Rita, and Master Vile, and they react accordingly. They acknowledge how their Battle Borgs were incapable of destroying him and worry what kind of damage he could cause on Earth.
609* ExclusiveEnemyEquipment: In his first fight against the Aquitians, Hydro Hog steals Cestro and Tideus' swords from them and uses them for a good portion of the fight. The two Rangers eventually reclaim their swords, but by then it's too late.
610* FinalBoss: The final MonsterOfTheWeek summoned by Zedd and Rita to clash with the Rangers.
611* GratuitousEnglish: Has "NAVY" on his left shoulder for some reason.
612* TheHeavy: Hydro Hog is summoned to help Zedd and Rita destroy the Alien Rangers in the final three episodes while Goldar and Rito attempt to steal the Zeo Crystal.
613* IronicLastWords: Staring down the barrels of the Shogun [=MegaFalconzord's=] many cannons, he asks "Should I be impressed?"
614* {{Kevlard}}: Hydro Hog completely [[NoSell No-Sells]] Aurico's multiple kicks to his stomach.
615* KilledOffForReal: Though a minor villain, he was still the first notable one in the franchise to be directly and permanently killed off by the Rangers.
616* MakingASplash: Had the ability to drain the water out of anything, including the Aquitian Rangers.
617* NoSell: He manages to block the Shogun Megazord's [[FlamingSword Fire Saber]] FinishingMove fairly easily and counterattack, although the same couldn't be said for the Shogun [=MegaFalconzord=]'s finisher.
618* NoodleIncident: When first contacted, Hydro Hog flippantly asks Zedd what he wants this time, suggesting he's already done at least one favor for him previously.
619* RuleOfThree: Over the course of the season, only three villains are hit by the Shogun [=MegaFalconzord=]'s finishing attack: Master Vile, Dischordia, and Hydro Hog. Master Vile and Dischordia survive their encounters. Hydro Hog does not.
620* SeaMine: His shoulders resemble these.
621* StoutStrength: He's quite heavy set but also fully capable of overwhelming the Alien Rangers in hand-to-hand combat.
622* SuicidalOverconfidence: He watches the Shogun [=MegaFalconzord=] form and aim its cannons at him and simply mocks it instead of retreating or even just moving out of the way.
623* UnderestimatingBadassery: It proves to be fatal when he does this with the Shogun [=MegaFalconzord=].
624* VictoryIsBoring: With his hated enemies constantly off protecting Earth, Hydro Hog pretty much had free rein over Aquitar, but he didn't appear to be doing anything of real consequence. He agrees to help Zedd and Rita because, as he freely admits, things were just boring with no one to fight or harass.
625* VillainOfAnotherStory: Hydro Hog serves as the BigBad to the Aquitian Rangers before being summoned by Rita and Zedd to help them defeat the Rangers on Earth.
626* VillainousFriendship: When Hydro Hog first answers the call to Earth, he and Lord Zedd seem fairly chummy with one another.
627* VillainTeamUp: Zedd and Rita recruit him from Aquitar to help them destroy his [[ArchEnemy Arch-Enemies]] the Aquitian Rangers.
628* WouldntHurtAChild: While it's never specified if it was due to morals or not (likely not), when Hydro Hog drains Angel Grove Lake of its water, he makes no attempt to harm the children that were previously swimming and are now left standing on dry land.
629* WoundedGazelleGambit: During his first battle with the Aquitian Rangers, he pretends to fall on his back and claims he can't get up, so he can lure them in close and drain their water.

635!!Cyclopsis
636[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_cyclopsis.png]]
637->'''CPU voiced by:''' Dave Mallow
638
639Goldar's Warzord and Rita's ultimate weapon, Cyclopsis was assisted by Lokar in what was probably Rita's greatest attack on Earth (before the arrival of Lord Zedd).
640----
641* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Cyclopsis' wrist swords are capable of literally dismembering the Dino Zords.
642* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Instead of an ancient war machine, in ''[[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Zyuranger]]'' it was simply the ultimate Dora Monster (albeit one that still needed to be piloted for some reason).
643* AdvertisingOnlyContinuity: His Spin Fighter, bizarrely, called him the "Knight in Shiny Mirrors."
644* BladeBelowTheShoulder: After receiving an upgrade from Lokar, it gains these.
645* CurbStompBattle: Its initial fight with the Zords is a one sided beatdown until the Rangers form the Ultrazord and destroy it. As Titanis is unavailable in the second fight, Cyclopsis deals out an even worse beating that sees the Megazord lose an arm and the Dragonzord lose half its tail. In round three, the Megazord is still no match for it.
646* DiscOneFinalBoss: Just like Lokar, Had ''Doomsday'' been the the final episode, he would've been the last monster (Or in this case, a giant machine) the Rangers confronted, much as in ''Zyuranger''. The popularity of the series necessitated that the show go on, however.
647* EvilCounterpart: To the Rangers' own Megazord.
648* ExtendableArms: Cyclopsis can fire his forearms off on cables to reach out and grab the Zords, which he uses to grapple the Dragonzord Fighting Mode and Tyrannosaurus Dinozord.
649* FatalFlaw: According to [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Alpha 5]], Cyclopsis needs to readjust its system whenever a new opponent arrives. After learning that, the Rangers decided to exploit the hell out of it by using ''every'' Megazord configuration they had against it.
650* FinalBoss: In all of the video games based on the show's first season, Cyclopsis serves as the final opponent. The exception is the Gameboy game, where it does not appear and Rita is the last boss.
651* HornsOfVillainy: Cyclopsis has a single horn jutting out of its forehead. When it is resurrected by Rita and Lokar, it gains two more, one on each side.
652* LightIsNotGood: It is a giant white robot piloted by [[CardCarryingVillain Goldar]].
653* MacrossMissileMassacre: It packs missile launchers built into its shoulders. These put the Megazord and Dragonzord Battle Mode down for the count.
654* MindOverMatter: It is capable of telekinesis (this was actually leftover from ''Zyuranger'' as Bandora's son Kai had the ability and used it through the Zord).
655* NothingUpMySleeve: Once in its upgraded form, Cyclopsis possesses a pair of swords hidden in its wrists.
656* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: Cyclopsis' CPU needs to adjust to each form the Rangers' Zords take when engaged in combat with them. Once the Rangers discover this, they begin rapidly switching between Zord modes, which overwhelms the Warzord's computer and causes it to lock up, resulting in ExplosiveInstrumentation.
657* RunTheGauntlet: The Rangers do a heroic version by forcing Cyclopsis to fight all of their Zord combinations in sequence. First, the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord attacks by itself, then Cyclopsis fights the Megazord, then Dragonzord, then Dragonzord Battle Mode, then Mega Dragonzord, and finally Ultrazord. Cyclopsis' systems overload from the strain of constantly adjusting to the next opponent and becomes paralyzed when the Rangers finally use the Ultrazord.
658* ShockAndAwe: The Warzord can send electrical currents through his arm cables once they're extended, electrocuting whatever it is holding.
659* WreckedWeapon: In the final fight with Cyclopsis, the Dragonzord breaks both of its blades.

662[[folder:Serpentera]]
663!!Serpentera
664[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_serpentera.png]]
665
666Lord Zedd's personal Zord of destruction, Serpentera was first utilized to keep the Rangers from retrieving the ancient Sword of Light from the far off Deserted Planet.
667----
668* AdaptationalBadass: In '''''ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersShatteredGrid''''', Serpentera doesn't have the problem of running out of power when it is on the verge of victory and destroys multiple Megazords.
669* AdaptationalVillainy: In ''Dairanger'', his counterpart was a neutral peacekeeper who only attacked the Dairangers, the Gorma, and indeed the whole planet simply for causing destruction. Here, he's Lord Zedd's own personal Zord and his sole purpose is to destroy.
670* AdaptationalWimp: Daijinryu, his ''Dairanger'' counterpart, was a living creature that didn't need to be fueled. While Serpentera is just as powerful, it quickly runs out of gas during battles.
671* AllThereInTheManual: The deluxe Bandai toy referred to Serpentera as "Lord Zedd's Power Zord," and revealed that the title of his horizontal/flight stance was "Dragon Mode," while his upright stance was "Attack Mode." None of these terms were used in the show proper, as Attack Mode was basically considered Serpentera simply standing up.
672* AnimalMecha: Of the dragon variety.
673* AwesomeButImpractical: Serpentera is just as deadly as the [[Franchise/StarWars Death Star]]... but he runs out of power like a car in a horror movie runs out of gas. It wasn't uncommon for Serpentera to lose power in the middle of fights with the Rangers, forcing Zedd to recall him to the moon.
674* BreathWeapon: Serpentera could spit lightning bolts from his mouth. At full power, these bolts were capable of [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroying entire planets]].
675* CurbStompBattle:
676** Jason tries to fight Serpentera with the Red Dragonzord in the Rangers' first encounter with it and quickly realizes he is in over his head and has to hide in Tor. He only escapes because Zedd clutches the IdiotBall and lets him go.
677** When Zedd brings Serpentera to Earth after the Rangers defeat Pachinko Head, it defeats the Thunder Megazord with a single blast and reduces it to the Red Dragonzord. Once again, the Red Dragonzord only avoids getting crushed by hiding in Tor, and Tor only survives because [[DeusExMachina it suddenly drains most of Serpentera's power]].
678** In the [[ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersBoomStudios Boom comics]], under the control of Lord Drakkon, Serpentera [[OneHitKO destroys three Megazords with a single blast]] and takes out another by swallowing it.
679* DangerousDeviceDisposalDebacle: After a few attempts, Zedd ultimately gave up on using Serpentera for anything other than transportation. In the ''Zeo'' premiere, we see that the Zord didn't even have a hangar or a hiding place or anything, as he was just laid out on the moon's surface some distance from the Moon Palace.
680* DarkIsEvil: Sepentera arriving on Earth seems to affect the planet's atmosphere, as the sky turns black each time Zedd uses him.
681* DemotedToExtra: Not in terms of screen time, but in terms of role. Its Sentai counterpart, Daijinryu, was the biggest threat in Dairanger, and his presence resulted in the heroes' mentor plotting to appease him by seeking an alternative method to ending the series' conflict. In Power Rangers, Serpentera simply acts as a giant robot used by the BigBad in attempts to kill the heroes, and its only significant contribution is being used as a glorified car.
682* DramaPreservingHandicap: Serpentera is unstoppable at full power. The only thing keeping it from destroying the Rangers is it running out of power when it is about to win.
683* EarthShatteringKaboom: Serpentera's lightning cannon was capable of this at full power, but as deadly an attack as it was, it was also an unwise idea, as doing so would wipe out nearly his entire power supply.
684* EvilIsBigger: Lord Zedd's personal mecha, to this day he remains the largest Zord in the entire franchise.
685* FedToTheBeast: In the finale of ''Shattered Grid,'' Serpentera devours the Dragonzord Fighting Mode.
686* GiantEqualsInvincible: Serpentera dwarfs the Megazords, and they have no chance of beating it.
687* HourOfPower: Serpentera was notorious for running out of energy when combatting the Rangers. When the Machine Empire Generals found him years later, they outfitted him with a neo-plutonium reactor.
688* HumongousMecha: Even more so than usual. Serpentera is so large that the Rangers' Zords are basically human-sized in comparison.
689* IdiosyncraticMechaStorage: As seen in "[[Recap/PowerRangersZeoS1E2AZeoBeginningPart2 A Zeo Beginning]]," when not in use Serpentera just lays down on the ground somewhere near the palace.
690* TheJuggernaut: As long as Serpentera is charged, nothing can stop it. All the Power Rangers can do is run. Barring its VillainDecay in Wild Force, the only time it has been defeated is in '''''ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersShatteredGrid''''', when it is attacked with a Megazord that is as big as it is.
691* MundaneUtility: Serpentera is used as the vehicle for Zedd and Rita's honeymoon, complete with a giant "JUST MARRIED" sign attached to his tail.
692* NotUsingTheZWord: Outside of the Bandai toy, Serpentera was never referred to as a Zord until "[[Recap/PowerRangersWildForceForeverRed Forever Red]]."
693* OurDragonsAreDifferent: He is based on an Eastern Dragon.
694* ShockAndAwe: The Zord's aforementioned breath weapon. Even a [[OneHitKill single, non-charged shot]] was enough to immediately disassemble the Thunder Megazord.
695* TheWorfEffect: A rather infamous example. After being the one thing the Rangers could not destroy, he finally saw his destruction at the hands of the Wild Force Rider (albeit using Serpentera's own energy).
696* YouDontLookLikeYou: In "Forever Red," the transition from a physical suit to CGI took a rather harsh toll on Serpentera, changing him from dark green and big and imposing, to silver and purple and almost snake-like. His yellow lightning bolts were also changed into a purple energy beam.
697* YourSizeMayVary: Not only was Serpentera's physical appearance altered in "[[Recap/PowerRangersWildForceForeverRed Forever Red]]," but his size as well. In ''MMPR'' and ''Zeo'', he was large enough to crush Tor the Shuttlezord underfoot. In "Forever Red," Cole on his Wild Force Rider was roughly the same size in comparison to Serpentera that the Red Dragon Thunderzord Warrior Mode used to be.

703
704Twin machine-like entities that were under Ivan Ooze's control. Although they were defeated and buried along with him by Zordon, Ivan unearthed them after 6,000 years and set them loose on Angel Grove while the Rangers were away.
705----
706* AdvertisingOnlyContinuity: The box of the eight-inch Bandai figure refers to the scorpion-based Ecto-Morphicon as "Scorpitan."
707* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Hornitor lets out a dog whimper when cornered by the Ninja Zords.
708* AnimalMecha:
709** ScaryScorpions: Scorpitron. Based on the Scorpion.
710** WickedWasps: Hornitor. Based on the Hornet.
711* AtrociousArthropods: Both are dangerous and semi sapient Arthropod mechas used by the BigBad. They are specifically based on a [[WickedWasps Hornet]] and [[ScaryScorpion Scorpion]].
712* CanonForeigner: They only exist in the movie's continuity and have no Sentai counterparts.
713* DangerousDeviceDisposalDebacle: After Ivan was defeated 6,000 years ago, the Ecto-Morphicons were disassembled and buried... directly next to Ivan's chamber, guaranteeing that he would find them immediately if he ever got out. This is exactly what happens.
714* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: Hornitor and Scorpitron seem to have no moving mechanical parts within their metallic bodies and are instead simply filled with [[SlimeSnailsAndMutantTails Ivan's ooze]], which acts as their life-giving fuel.
715* LightningCanDoAnything: Once the Ecto-Morphicons were filled with ooze, Ivan used lightning bolts from his hands to fully bring them to life.
716* MechanicalInsects: Both of them are giant insect mechas that run on Ooze somehow.
717* NotUsingTheZWord: Despite their similarities, Hornitor and Scorpitron are never compared or referred to as Zords.
718* OhCrap: After Scorpitron is destroyed, Hornitor whimpers in fear upon being cornered by six Ninja Zords.
719* PowerPincers: Both Titans have these for hands.
720* SealedEvilInACan: As with their master, the Titans were sealed away for 6,000 years, only for Ivan to free them after he was released.
721* SlowLaser: Both Ecto-Morphicons can fire lasers as their main form of attack - Hornitor from his eyes, Scorpitron from his tail's stinger.
722* SparedByTheAdaptation: Scorpitron is of the "dies later" variety in the ''UsefulNotes/GameGear'' version of the [[VideoGame/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie video game]]. Instead of being destroyed by the Ranger's zords, Scorpitron lives to combine with Hornitor and Ivan Ooze into the FinalBoss. As a result, Scorpitron is only destroyed when Ivan and Hornitor are.
723* VillainOverride: Once Hornitor is the only one left, Ivan merges into the Titan and basically reduces him into PowerArmor so Ivan can fight the Rangers personally.

729!!The Putty Patrol
730[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_puttypatrol.png]]
731
732The Putty Patrollers were golem soldiers created by Finster that would be used to attack the Rangers, either on their own or to assist a bigger threat like Goldar, Scorpina, or [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonOne a monster]].
733----
734* BareFistedMonk: Most of the Putties fought with only their hands; a few of them even had metal balls encased onto them.
735* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite their usual stature as useless, brainless cannon fodder, give the Putties a capable leader and a set of Ranger powers and they become a force to be reckoned with.
736* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Some of them had blades for hands.
737* TheBusCameBack: Decades later, a squad of Rita's Putties were resurrected and utilized by the bounty hunter Ryjack as he fought the [[Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers Grid Battleforce Rangers]]. They'd also end up being [[Recap/PowerRangersBeastMorphersEpisode37GridConnection led into battle by a resurrected Goldar]] [[spoiler:(powered up into the new Goldar Maximus)]] some time later.
738** They returned yet again three years later, this time summoned by [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersOnceAndAlways Robo-Rita]] to act as her foot soldiers once more in ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersOnceAndAlways''.
739* ADayInTheLimelight: "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP38ABadReflectionOnYou A Bad Reflection on You]]" and "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP59MightyMorphinMutants Mighty Morphin' Mutants]]," in which they become Power Rangers led by the MonsterOfTheWeek. In the latter episode, they even forced the Rangers to bring out the Ultrazord!
740* EliteMooks: [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters]] [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonOne Pumpkin Rapper and Rhino Blaster]] had their own specialized Putty Patrollers which were notably stronger than the normal variety.
741* FailureMontage: In "Mighty Morphin' Mutants," when Goldar is training a number of Putties to become the [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonOne Mutant Rangers]], Putty #6 just ''cannot'' get the hang of things, failing spectacularly at each of Goldar's lessons. Even ''the other Putties'' seem taken aback by #6's ineptitude.
742* {{Golem}}: They are artificial beings made from clay, making them really resemble Golems. Their original Japanese counterparts were even called Golem-Soldiers.
743* LookBehindYou: In "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP11NoClowningAround No Clowing Around]]," [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Kimberly]] tricks a Putty by pointing behind it and saying "Hey, look! It's Rita!" When the Putty turns to look, Kim kicks it in the ribs.
744* MasterOfDisguise: Oddly enough, yes. They were sometimes able to disguise themselves as humans, and even the Rangers were usually fooled, at least initially.
745* {{Mooks}}: These creatures filled the role during Rita's tenure as BigBad, existing just for the Rangers to beat up before morphing. They weren't exactly mindless, however, quite a few were shown to have intelligence and personality. Jason even encountered a particularly smart one that could ''drive''.
746* NonIndicativeName: They're called Putty ''Patrollers'', but they are never seen doing any patrolling.
747* PowerFist: While some Putties had swords for hands, others had metal orbs.
748* ShapeshifterWeapon: Putties could also be built with large orbs and swords at the ends of their arms instead of regular hands.
749* SuperpoweredMooks: The [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonOne Super Putties]]. Stronger and tougher than the regular Putties, they were practically invincible; if one was destroyed, it would regenerate into two more. It took a new set of specialized weapons to finally take them down.
750* TheUnintelligible: Usually their "speech" consisted of burbling noises, reminiscent of turkey gobbling, although they could talk when disguised as humans.
751-->'''Kat:''' "[[Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersOnceAndAlways All these years]] and they still sound like angry turkeys."
752* VillainExitStageLeft: Usually, after being slapped around by the Rangers, they decide they've had enough and teleport away. Even when they're all unconscious, they vanish after the fight is over.
753* WouldHitAGirl: In ''[[Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersOnceAndAlways Once & Always]]'', during their full scale assault on Angel Grove, a Putty grabs a random woman and throws her off the side of a building at one of its highest floors. [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Rocky]] is luckily able to leap up and catch her.
754* YouHaveFailedMe: After the Mutant Ranger training montage, Goldar informs the useless Putty #6 that he's "going back to the clay jar on Finster's workbench" and teleports him back to the moon.

760
761When Lord Zedd arrived on the moon, he brought with him his own squad of Putties which were far stronger than the originals. They would frequently accompany Goldar on missions and even do most of the fighting for [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonTwo a monster]] before it grew to giant size.
762----
763* AllThereInTheManual: The characters themselves were never referred to as "Z-Putties" until years later, in ''VideoGame/PowerRangersSuperLegends'' on the [=PlayStation=] 2. On the show proper, they were only ever referred to as "Putties" (not even "the Putty Patrol," as their Season 1 equivalents had been).
764* ArtifactName: While Rita's Putties were called that because Finster sculpted them out of literal putty, the Z-Putties, despite their physical similarities to their predecessors, are created out of dark magic from Lord Zedd's staff and have nothing to do with clay at all.
765* AttackItsWeakPoint: They possess a rather large "Z" emblem on their chest. Hitting it will result in the respective Putty disintegrating almost immediately.
766* TheBusCameBack: After being unceremoniously dumped from the show at the start of Season 3, the Z-Putties finally returned alongside Zedd and Rita in their two appearances in ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''.
767* CanonForeigner: They are original to ''Power Rangers'' and serve as the replacements for the Cotpotros, the {{mooks}} from ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger''.
768* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: They sort of just stop showing up after "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP3AFriendinNeedPart3 A Friend in Need Part III]]," and they get replaced by the Tenga Warriors a couple episodes later. There's not even a throwaway line from Rita and Zedd such as "Now we can get rid of those useless Putties!" Nor do the Rangers make a comment along the lines of "Man, those Tengas are a lot tougher than the Putties!" Bulk and Skull make a reference to them in an episode of ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'', though, and they do [[TheBusCameBack ultimately reappear later]] during the [[Recap/PowerRangersInSpaceS1E1FromOutOfNowherePart1 Cimmerian Planet]] meeting at the start of ''In Space'', as well as Zedd and Rita's [[Recap/PowerRangersInSpaceS1E42CountdownToDestructionPart1 invasion of the Vica Galaxy]].
769* EliteMooks: They are stupidly tough and durable, far more than most monsters on the show; while the "Z" symbol on their chest is a glaring weak spot, they only have the one, as opposed to Rita's Putties, which could be injured by any blow received in battle.
770* LiterallyShatteredLives. When defeated, they turn into glowing stone, break apart, and their pieces fly off in all directions.
771* MasterOfDisguise: Just like Rita's, they can pass themselves off as human.
772* ReplacementMooks: Are this to Rita's Putties.
773* SummonMagic: They are summoned by magic from Lord Zedd's staff, rather than being created out of clay.
774* TheUnintelligible: They spoke in the same nonsensical gobbling noises as their predecessors.
775* VillainDecay: The Z-Putties go from being able to throw around morphed Rangers to getting taken out by a group of ten year olds with a dodgeball.
776* WeaksauceWeakness: The simplest way to defeat them is, essentially, to strike ''a big target located on their center of mass.''

784
785Humanoid warriors made of slime summoned by Ivan Ooze via lightning from his hands. They were the first of Ivan's {{mooks}} to fight the Rangers and kept them busy as he attacked the Command Center.
786----
787* AlienHair: Of the Predator Hair variety; they have tentacle-like dreadlocks in place of hair.
788* AllThereInTheManual: They were called Ooze Men in the Sega Genesis version of the ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'' video game.
789* BloodyHilarious: When the Ooze Men are hit hard enough, they burst apart into puddles of ooze, which essentially looks like purple blood.
790* DeathAsComedy: The Ooze Men regroup and get ready to continue the fight when Tommy uses [[FlyingWeapon Saba]] to break a chain and crush them all underneath a hanging dumpster (no, not [[MythologyGag that kind]]).
791* {{Mooks}}: The first set Ivan Ooze sent against the Rangers, designed to distract them as he invaded the Command Center and get his revenge on Zordon.
792* NoBodyLeftBehind: The only thing defeated Ooze Men leave behind are slimy puddles.
793* TheQuietOne: The Ooze Men are capable of speaking English (they all cry out "UH OH!" right before being crushed by the dumpster), they just usually don't.
794* SlimeSnailsAndMutantTails: The Ooze Men are seemingly just sentient purple ooze given humanoid form.
795* StrongFamilyResemblance: The Ooze Men's faces look almost exactly like Ivan's, but with shorter horn-beards.
796* TheWorfEffect: Strong enough to force six teenagers against the wall, only for those same teenagers to morph and best them.

800!! Tengu Warriors / Tenga Warriors
801[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_tenguwarriors.png]]
802->'''Tengu Warriors voiced by:''' Martin G. Metcalf
803->'''Tenga Warriors voiced by:''' Unknown
804
805In ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'', the Tengu Warriors were created by Ivan Ooze to stop the Rangers from finding the Great Power on the planet Phaedos. In the third season of ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', the Tenga Warriors were gifted to Rita and Zedd from Rita's brother Rito as a wedding present, and became their new {{mooks}}.
806----
807* AdaptationNameChange: In the movie, Ivan Ooze's second set of mooks are called Teng'''''u''''' Warriors, but the bird-like monsters brought to the moon by Rito are called Teng'''''a''''' Warriors. Justified as [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios Fox]], who made the movie, owned the rights to the name "Tengu Warrior," forcing a rename.
808* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the movie, the Tengu are simply blobs of ooze brought to life, just like the Ooze Men before them. In Season 3 though, the Tengas are a race of actual living, breathing sentient beings.
809* BirdPeople: They are a race of anthropomorphic crows.
810* BrownNote: How [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersAllies Dulcea]] defeats the Tengu in the movie - Her staff is able to disconnect in the middle and produce a strange whistling sound when spun fast enough. The whistling has a strongly adverse effect on the Tengu, causing them to immediately stop attacking Dulcea and the Rangers and flee Phaedos completely.
811* CanonForeigner: The Tengas were the replacement for the Dorodoros, the {{mooks}} of ''Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger''.
812* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: The Tengas accompany Zedd and Rita to the Cimmerian Planet in "[[Recap/PowerRangersInSpaceS1E1FromOutOfNowherePart1 From Out of Nowhere Part I]]," but are nowhere to be seen in their invasion of the Vica Galaxy in "[[Recap/PowerRangersInSpaceS1E42CountdownToDestructionPart1 Countdown to Destruction]]."
813* DubNameChange: An odd case. In Polish dub, instead of just "Tenga/Tengu", they are called "Dziesięćsiły". This is a play on "Dziewięćsił" -- Polish name for flowering plants of ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlina Carlina]]'' genus -- which literally means "Nine strengths", while "Dziesięćsił" means "Ten strengths" instead. Apparently, somebody (either never having heard about ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengu Tengu]]'' before or just assuming that [[ViewersAreMorons the audience wouldn't get it]]) ripped that "ten" out and just went with it...
814* DumbMuscle: While the Putties and Z-Putties were dumb as well, they were at least capable of disguising themselves as humans and carrying out stealth missions on occasion. The Tengas really were good for nothing else but throwing them at the Rangers to overpower them physically.
815* EggMacGuffin: Rito buries the Tenga eggs on the moon before he even visits the Moon Palace. A good deal of time passes before he eventually tells Rita and Zedd what's inside them (due to Rita threatening him to get on with it already).
816* EliteMooks: In [[Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie the movie]], the Tengu Warriors are noticeably more powerful than the Ooze Men. While they ultimately needed to morph in order to put them down for good, the Ranger teens were still able to put up a reasonable fight against the Ooze Men while unmorphed. The Tengu, however, were barely even phased by the teens' physical blows and were strong enough to latch onto them with their talons and fly them up to a lethal hight. Had Dulcea not intervened, the Tengu would've slaughtered the Rangers rather quickly.
817** When Master Vile arrives, he brings with him some [[PowerUpFood special food]] that he feeds to the Tengas. What the food is is never specified (aside from it looking like snakes), but it upgrades the Tengas' strength to such a degree that they completely outmatch the Rangers, forcing Zordon to break out the Metallic Armor. A year later, these upgraded Tengas are able to go toe-to-toe with the [[Characters/PowerRangersZeo Machine Empire's Cogs]].
818** In general, the normal, pre-upgraded Tengas could be considered this to the Z-Putties, as well.
819* EvilVersusEvil: In the final episode of ''Zeo'', the Tengas represent Zedd and Rita in one of these against the Cogs on behalf of [[Characters/PowerRangersZeo King Mondo]]. It ultimately ends in a tie.
820* FeatheredFiend: They really deserve this title, as they are the most dangerous set of Mooks faced by the Mighty Morphin team of Rangers.
821* {{Flight}}: As the Tengu and Tengas are huge birds, this is only natural. The two slightly differ in the fact that the Tengu were fully capable of physically flying from the moon to Phaedos then back to Earth, while the Tengas seemed to prefer using [[VillainTeleportation teleportation]] to travel long, interplanetary distances.
822* GiantMook: A story in the old [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]] comics involves Zedd and Rita distracting the Rangers by sending down a single giant Tenga Warrior.
823* HiddenDepths: Every season from the first to the fourth has had their own foot soldiers that are stronger than the last. That changed when the Season 3 Tengas proved to be just as strong as the Cogs, their Season 4/''Zeo'' counterparts, when they engaged in a fight against them [[spoiler: [[Recap/PowerRangersZeoS1E50GoodAsGold in the finale episode, "Good as Gold."]]]]
824* HumansAreUgly: When describing their assailant to Ivan Ooze, the Tengu Warriors refer to Dulcea as a monster rather than a human-looking woman.
825* IdiotBall: In "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS3EP24ADifferentShadeofPinkPart2 A Different Shade of Pink Part II]]," the Tengas accompany [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonThree Garbage Mouth]] in his mission to capture [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Katherine]]. As the monster faces her and the Rangers, the Tengas suddenly teleport in and grab Katherine, then teleport... a few feet over to Garbage Mouth, instead of back to the moon.
826* IKnowMaddenKombat: The Tenga Warriors play a game of football with [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMonstersSeasonThree Centiback]] as their coach until all the Rangers sans [[Characters/MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers Rocky]] have been transformed into footballs.
827* InformedAbility: Upon being told that the eggs currently in the process of hatching is a flock of Tengas, Rita ecstatically proclaims that "The Tenga Warriors are absolutely the most ferocious creatures this side of the universe!" Zedd adds that, without the Rangers in his way and an army of Tenga Warriors at his command, the possibilites were endless. But while the Tengas were certainly stronger than the Putties, they ultimately weren't noticeably different from any other {{Mook}}.
828* MidSeasonUpgrade: They become noticeably stronger thanks to Master Vile in "[[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersMasterVileAndTheMetallicArmorPart1 Master Vile and the Metallic Armor Part I]]," forcing the Rangers to pull out their own MidSeasonUpgrade - the Metallic Armor - just to be able to deal with them.
829* NailsOnABlackboard: How the Tengu Warriors describe the sound of Dulcea's twirling staffs to Ivan Ooze.
830* PowerUpFood: The source of the Tengas' aforementioned Mid-Season Upgrade. Vile provides Zedd with a large burlap sack (with what looks like snakes sticking out of various holes in the fabric), which Zedd then has Squatt feed to the Tengas.
831* PurpleIsPowerful: The Tengas wear purple armor and they're easily the most powerful of Zedd and Rita's three foot soldiers. In the movie, the Tengu would've killed the Rangers almost immediately had Dulcea not intervened, and not only do they wear the same purple armor, they're also entirely formed out of purple ooze.
832* PyrrhicVictory: In ''Zeo'''s finale, they have a brutal fight with a group of Cogs (the foot soldiers of that season) and surprisingly win... at the cost of only a single one of them, heavily wounded, missing many feathers, and losing even more just by moving, being able to walk away from the fight.
833* ReplacementMooks: The Tengu Warriors are Ivan's second attempt at foot soldiers after the Ooze Men fail to get the job done. Courtesy of Rito, the Tenga Warriors are the permanent replacements to the previous season's Z-Putties.
834* SlimeSnailsAndMutantTails: The Tengu Warriors come to life from a gob of slime that Ivan Ooze hocks up.
835* SoleSurvivor: At the end of the team fight between the Tengas and the Cogs in [[Recap/PowerRangersZeoS1E50GoodAsGold "Good as Gold"]] only a single Tenga warrior is left standing, though all his feathers have been plucked.
836* SparedByTheAdaptation: In ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'', the Tengu are instantly destroyed by Ivan Ooze the moment he finds out they failed. In the series, the Tengas never receive anything worse than a screaming fit from Rita and Zedd.
837* TookALevelInBadass: Master Vile gives them some magical food that increases their strength by vast amounts. The Rangers have to pull out their newest [[MidSeasonUpgrade power upgrade]] just to defeat them at that point. It carries over into ''Zeo'', where the Tengas stalemate a group of Cogs in the final episode.
838* VillainExitStageLeft: The Tengas frequently flee the battlefield when things don't go their way. Justified as they aren’t expendable golem foot soldiers like the Putties who could be mass-produced and replaced, but rather living, breathing creatures.
839* TheVillainSucksSong: Season 3's "Tenga Bye Bye." The song is later reprised in instrumental form in ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' when they fight the Cogs.
840* YouHaveFailedMe: When the Tengu Warriors return to Earth and inform Ivan Ooze that Dulcea stopped them from killing the Rangers, he responds by incinerating the entire flock with a blast of lightning.
