List of Mutations in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list contains the monsters seen in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. These monsters are known as "Mutations" and can be made from the DNA of an animal, a plant, and a machine. There are a few monsters that aren't made from the DNAs that were just listed. To make a mutation grow, Mesogog activated what he called the "Hydro-Regenerator", which would cause the skies to turn dark and rain to fall, and the rain would revive the monster as a giant.
[edit] Monster List
[edit] "Birdbrain"
The first of Mesogog's mutants, he looks like he was made from the DNA of a crow, a mint plant, and a sniper rifle. Birdbrain and a group of Tyrannodrones were sent to cause havoc in Reefside. He faced the Rangers and wielded a sniper rifle against them. He could also move and fly fast, therefore the Rangers required the assistance of the Raptor Riders to help catch up with him. Destroyed first by Z-Rex Blaster, then by the Thundersaurus Megazord.
[edit] Pollinator
- First Appearance: "Back in Black" (3/6/04)
- Voice Actor: Alistair Browning
Pollinator is a monster that is a hybrid of a squid olive and fragrant perfume. He comes with Zeltrax and Elsa to face the Rangers when they invade Mesogog's fortress. Pollinator could shoot energy blasts from his tentacles and teleport. He is destroyed by the Z-Rex Blaster and the Thundersaurus Megazord Cephalo Power Punch.
[edit] Donkeyvac
- First Appearance: "Diva in Distress" (3/13/04)
- Voice Actor: Jason Hoyte
A donkey/pomegranate/vacuum cleaner mutant with the ability to drain youth away from people which would have been used as an energy source for Mesogog. His weakness seemed to be his nose. Was destroyed by the Z-Rex Blaser and then the Thundersaurus Megazord.
[edit] Demagnetron
- First Appearance: "Game On" (3/20/04)
- Voice Actor: Dallas Barnett
A diving beetle/rhododendron/magnet monster who sends Ethan to the video game world, and brings out the Triptoids. Destroyed by the Thundersaurus Megazord.
[edit] Dysotron
- First Appearance: "Golden Boy" (3/27/04)
- Voice Actor: Andrew Robertt
Dysotron appeared at the beginning of the episode "Golden Boy". He appeared in giant size and was attacking Reefside with electrical blasts. During it's battle with the Thundersaurus Megazord, he teleported himself and it into a snowy area, possibly the Arctic. The Thundersaurus Megazord was able to weaken the monster and return them back to Reefside where the Megazord finished the job by blasting the monster with a Firebreath from the Tyranno Zord's mouth and the Dino Drill.
[edit] Golden Rod
- First Appearance: "Golden Boy" (3/27/04)
- Voice Actor: James Gaylyn
Golden Rod is a genetically youthful and enhanced clone of Zeltrax. He viewed Zeltrax as his father and was strongly loyal to him. His loyalty was used by Zeltrax to his own ends and sent him to hunt down Tommy Oliver. He could run incredibly fast, able to catch up with Tommy and Trent in Tommy's car. In battle he could shoot lasers and wielded a double-bladed rod-like weapon (hence his name, he used a rod as a weapon and had gold-colored skin/armor) and can also grow to giant-size at will. He was also a strong opponent against The Thundersaurus Megazord. When Golden Rod battled the Rangers for the first time, Zeltrax intervened and had Golden Rod return with him to Mesogog's lab where Zeltrax used the Geno-Randomizer to make Golden Rod more powerful and went with him to attack the Rangers again, even fighting the Thundersaurus Megazord. It wasn't until Tommy used the Brachio Staff to weaken and finally destroy Golden Rod. Although it seemed that Zeltrax was merely using Golden Rod, he felt saddened when his "son" was destroyed, saying he was the only family he ever knew, thus further fueling Zeltrax's desire for revenge against Tommy.
NOTE: Both Zeltrax and Golden Rod were voiced by the same actor. This was probably intended to make both Zeltrax and Golden Rod more similar in their father/son relationship.
[edit] Scorpex
- First Appearance: "Beneath the Surface" (4/3/04)
- Voice Actor: Stephen Brunton
Heavily armored, scorpion/clock-like mutant that Mesogog had Zeltrax create to assist the Dimetro Zord in destroying the Dino Zords. It appeared in giant form and it's armor and weapons were very durable and could only be pierced by the Dimetrozord's sawblade. Was destroyed by Thundersaurus Megazord Dimetro Saw Blade Attack.
[edit] Megalador
- First Appearance: "Ocean Alert" (4/10/04)
- Voice Actor: Paul Barrett
A mutant created from the DNA of a shark and an oleander flower with car parts mixed in "for fun". He was sent to kidnap a famous actress, Nikki Valentina. It used the oleander flower to spray spores that gave Ethan and Conner acne. He unleashes a tidal wave, but is defeated by the Thundersaurus Megazord on the Stega Surfboard. Later on Megalador was seen in a simulation Zeltrax was showing Mesogog in which the Evil White Ranger was fighting three monsters.
[edit] The Creature
- First Appearance: "White Thunder (Part 1)" (4/17/04)
- Voice Actor: Carl Bland
A lion/dandelion/missile mutant sent to lure out the White Ranger and recover the White Dino Gem. He could shoot laser blasts from his hands but was easily destroyed by the White Ranger's Drago Sword. Mesogog called him a "Creature" when he asked for one to be sent to Earth. It is unknown whether that was the monster's name and/or just a description.
[edit] Angor
- First Appearance: "White Thunder (Part 2)" (4/24/04)
- Voice Actor: Peter Feeney
An anchor monster armed with a crossbow and a sword that was sent to attack Reefside. He proved to be a strong opponent, able to levitate himself and shoot lasers with his crossbow. It wasn't until the Thundersaurus Megazord was upgraded with the Parasaur Zord and cut through Angor's weapons and slice up Angor himself were the Rangers finally able to destroy him. The distraction Angor provided allowed the White Ranger to hatch the Drago Zord.
[edit] Angor 1.5
- First Appearance: "White Thunder (Part 3)" (5/1/04)
- Voiced by : Peter Feeney
Angor returns with an upgrade. In this form he had better armor and weapons, such as a cannon and machine gun, and also had chains to ensnare opponents. Even so, he was destroyed again by the Dino Stegazord.
[edit] Rojobot
- First Appearance: "Leader of the Whack" (5/15/04)
- Voice Actor: Mark Wright
A robotic, meteor-resembling monster created by Zeltrax that was intended to be a fearsome warrior, but ended up being timid and cowardly. Rojobot later had a change of heart from the effects of strange meteor, becoming the fearsome warrior that he was intended to be. Rojobot could use the tentacles and spiked balls he had for arms as weapons and could shoot blasts of energy from his eyes. Destroyed by Thundersaurus Megazord Ankylo Drill and Dino Stegazord.
Note: Rojobot resembles Severax from Time Force
[edit] Insectolite
- First Appearance: "Burning at Both Ends" (5/22/04)
- Voice Actor: John Leigh
A centipede/pansy/radio wave monster with an exoskeleton sent to make the Rangers think Trent became good after being blasted by his laser. His weapons were powerful enough to destroy the Ranger's Raptor Riders and was strong enough to break through barriers. The Rangers fought him and captured him in order to break through the forcefield the White Ranger was using to contain the captured Dimetrozord and Cephalazord. Insectolite was destroyed by the Dino Stegazord Cephalo & Dimetro Mode.
[edit] Fossilador
- First Appearance: "The Missing Bone" (5/22/04)
- Voice Actor: Glen Drake
Mind controlling fossilized skeletal dinosaur (resembled a theropod dinosaur like Allosaurus or Tyrannosaurus) project abandoned by Tommy and Anton Mercer when events involved with it went out of their control. It's support bone was contained inside a suitcase by Tommy for safe-keeping but was retrieved by Kira when Fossilador controlled her telepathically. With the main support bone, Fossilador reassembled and grew to gigantic size. Human-sized, Fossilador could fire blasts of purple electricity, as a giant, he was incredibly strong with the ability to expel toxic gas from his jaws and could regenerate severed body parts. The main support bone was a vital area and so, the Thundersaurus Megazord destroyed Fossilador by carefully aiming the Dino Drill at it.
[edit] Termitetron
- First Appearance: "Bully for Ethan" (6/12/04)
- Voice Actor: Scott Wills
A termite (or perhaps a housefly?)/pine tree/votive picture monster sent to capture Tommy to fight Zeltrax. Termitetron first appeared in Reefside High School along with Zeltrax to fight Ethan. Destroyed by the Thundersaurus Megazord.
[edit] Izzy and Pupperazi
- First Appearance: "Lost and Found in Translation" (6/13/04)
- Voice Actors: Matthew Sunderland and Patrick Wilson
These villains names come from an interview with Executive Producer Doug Sloan. They are first featured in the Japanese show based on the adventures of the Power Rangers and one of them was responsible for the creation of Ka-Ching. Real-life versions of them befriended Lothor while he was in the Abyss of Evil and were brought out with him. The paintbrush-wielding general was shown to have the ability to create monsters by painting them to life and was the one who created Ka-Ching. The real-life versions never spoke, only grunted, growled and laughed wickedly. They proved to be powerful enemies, the paintbrush-wielding general had the ability to create powerful streams of electricity from his paintbrush/staff, while the golden-horned general could shoot lasers from what appeared to be its' one red eye. Despite their combat prowess they are defeated (but not shown to be completely destroyed) by the Battlizer fire of the Red Wind Ranger and Triassic Ranger. Since they are never seen again, it is presumbed that they were in fact destroyed in this battle.
[edit] Ka-Ching
- First Appearance: "Lost and Found in Translation" (6/13/04)
- Voice Actor: Greg Johnson
A monster from a Japanese show based on the adventures of the Power Rangers. He was made from the DNA of a bear and a mushroom and an ATM cash machine's technology. The villains of that show used him to spread greed throughout the city by hitting them with mushrooms that would grow freakish wigs on his victims; the wigs would then turn their victims completely greedy and money-hungry. Ka-Ching could also shoot giant coins as weapons. He had a bit of a wacky personality. He was destroyed by the Power Rangers in that show.
[edit] Mad Mackerel
- First Appearance: "It's a Mad Mad Mackerel" (6/19/04)
- Voice Actor: Cameron Rhodes
He was originally a human in a fish suit (Marty the Mackerel) who was turned into the Mackerel/olive/fishing pole monster. His fishing pole could catch people and store them in a special jar. The same energies that Mad Mackerel used to capture people with his fishing pole was also the same energy that got the Funky Fisherman stuck in a T.V. monitor and was thus used to free him. Upon being defeated by Thundersaurus Megazord Ankylo & Parasaur Mode, Mad Mackerel was turned back into Marty the Mackerel again, freed of the evil energy.
[edit] Copyotter
- First Appearance: "Copy That" (7/10/04)
- Voice Actor: Andrew Laing
A sea otter/bell pepper/copy machine monster that can copy just about anything (he copied the Rangers' weapons, Kira's voice and created clones of Cassidy). It was specifically created by Zeltrax to frame the White Ranger for the destruction of Mesogog's experiments by copying the Drago Sword and leaving it behind at the scene of the crime. In battle, Copyotter could also throw explosive seashells and bell peppers like bombs. Copyotter could also turn his otter bark into an energy blast. Destroyed by the Thundersaurus Megazord Ankylo Drill. Zeltrax later went to retrieve his survived copier weapon piece and used the energy from it to create the Evil White Ranger clone.
[edit] "Other World Monster"
- First Appearance: "Triassic Triumph" (7/17/04)
This rhinoceros/sugar beet/psychic monster only appeared in a simulation where the White Ranger Clone was fighting three monsters. It appeared to have been destroyed by the White Ranger Clone.
[edit] White Terrorsaurus
- First Appearance: "Triassic Triumph" (7/17/04)
- Voice Actor: Mark Wright
A powerful dinosaur-like monster created by Zeltrax using the same energies he used to create the Evil White Ranger clone. The Evil White Ranger considered the White Terrorsaurus to be his pet and the Terrorsaurus seemed to have the same agility as the White Ranger as well as an attack dubbed the "Terrorsaurus Laser" in which the White Terrorsaurus unleashes a powerful stream of lightning. He also had a pair of extendable black wings and kidnapped the Dinozords. He proved to be strong enough to defeat the Rangers, it wasn't until the Shield of Triumph was activated and Conner became the Triassic Ranger that the White Terrorsaurus was destroyed.
Note: The White Terrorsaurus is also called the White Pterasaurus in the subtitles for the Fifth volume of the Power Rangers: Dino Thunder D.V.D. series.
[edit] Horn-Rimmed Monster
- First Appearance: "Triassic Triumph" (7/17/04)
- Voice Actor: Peter Daube
The Horn-Rimmed Monster first appeared when Zeltrax showed Mesogog the simulation of the Evil White Ranger fighting off three monsters in an undisclosed foggy location. Later, in the episode "Isn't it Lava-ly", Elsa kidnaps the volcanologist Dr. Norton Morton (who was also played by Peter Daube) and turned him into this mouse/iris plant/eye-glasses monster to cause a volcano to erupt. Killed by Thundersaurus Megazord Stega Mode, returning the volcanologist back to normal. In battle, Tommy had called the monster "Six-Eyes," but it appeared to be merely name-calling.
[edit] Jupitor
- First Appearance: "A Ranger Exclusive" (7/31/04)
- Voice Actor: Joel Tobeck
A Jupiter-esque monster sent to infect a satellite system that would be used to alter/destroy the planet Jupiter and therefore changing the environment on Earth. Defeated by the Mezodon Megazord.

Destroyed by Hovercraft Cycle, and again by the Mezodon Rover.
[edit] Thornox
- First Appearance: "Disappearing Act" (8/21/04)
- Voice Actor: Anthony Ray Parker
A leech/bellflower/jewel monster made created by Elsa via green slime upon a plant. Elsa injected powerful steroids directly into the plant's D.N.A. to make it stronger and was a pure evil creation although Mesogog merely regarded the immature organism as "lunch". Destroyed by Mezodon Megazord. Thornox's recipe seemed to include a leech/gentian/lapis lazuli formula.
[edit] White Terrorsaurus II
- First Appearance: "Fighting Spirit" (8/28/04)
- Voice Actor: Mark Wright
The White Terrorsaurus later returned when Elsa and the Evil White Ranger recreated him in a more powerful form. Elsa fed the monster a fragment of mineral that she and the Tyrannodrones mined that was supposed to have the same mineral components of the Dino Gems, therefore giving the Terrorsaurus more power and the ability to steal the powers of all but one of the Dino Rangers, destroyed by Black Ranger in Super Dino Mode, then later by the Thundersaurus Megazord.

Mesogog turns one of Anton Mercer's prize-winning plants into this green gladiator monster. He appeared in Reefside as a giant and easily defeated the Thundersaurus Megazord, then turned into a giant plant and planted seeds of destruction that revived Deadwood and created Skortch. After the two monsters he created (in Deadwood's case, re-created) were destroyed, the Jade Gladiator reverted back to his monster form. In battle, the Jade Gladiator was able to disrupt the Thundersaurus Megazord's surf's up attack, could shoot energy disks from his dual-bladed staff and could turn his staff into a Bow and could shoot purple energy arrows from it.

A monkey/seven spring herbs/bongo drum dream monster caused by Ethan looking at a picture of monkey before going to sleep from his report. Rumba Monkey enjoyed dancing and could expel attacks from his fists and from kicking. Destroyed by Thundersaurus Megazord. Before he exploded in the similar fashion all Power Rangers monsters and villains do when defeated, he warned Ethan that his fellow Rangers would not survive their nightmares.
[edit] Rude Elf
- First Appearance: "In Your Dreams" (10/16/04)
- Voice Actor: Tim Faville
Rude Elf is a reindeer/mistletoe, Santa-themed dream mutant caused by Conner's frustration over Christmas shopping. He could use the jingle bells on his arms to create destructive soundwaves and carried a large sack that released ropes that could ensnare opponents and then drag them into and trap them inside his sack. He was first defeated when Conner became the Triassic Ranger and battled him in Christmas/Winter-themed dimension which Conner called his "Winder Wonderland". He came back as a giant and captured the Mezodon Megazord in his sack until Tommy used the Brachio Staff's energy orb to cut a hole in the sack and freed the Mezodon Megazord. The Rangers then formed the Triceramax Megazord and destroyed Rude Elf.
[edit] Fridgia
- First Appearance: "Drawn into Danger" (10/23/04)
- Voice Actor: Penny Ashton
Fridgia is an ice-elemental comic book monster brought to life by Elsa when she gave a famous comic-book writer a magical pen (in her disguise as Principal Randall).

A red dragon/orchid/gondola monster created from an unbeatable card game monster of the same name to expose Trent's secret. Was incredibly powerful and could expel electricity from his eyes.

Destroyed by combined forces of the Thundersaurus and Mezodon Megazords and the Dino Stegazord.
[edit] Ugly Monster
- First Appearance: "A Test of Trust" (11/6/04)
- Voice Actor: James Coleman
A bizarre beast created by Mesogog using his newfound powers and the Geno-Randomizer. He had the faces of the Monster Generals from the Japanese television show based on the Rangers' exploits and the ones Lothor recruited from the Abyss of Evil on his shoulders. Extremely powerful and evil, the Ugly Monster could withstand the Thundermax Sabers' lasers, could grow to giant size at will without the use of the Hydro-Regenerator (and later on by absorbing the energy from the destroyed Replicant Zord), could fire blasts of electricity from his main eye, electricute from touch and could extend his thorny tentacled arm. He was weakened by the Z-Rex Blaster but was revived when the Rangers destroyed the Replicant Zord and absorbed its energy. He was destroyed for good by the Dino Stegazord.
