The Power Animals (パワーアニマル Pawā Animaru?) are a group of fictional creatures from the 2001 Super Sentai series Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger. The Power Animals are used by the main protagionists the Gaorangers to combat the Ogre Tribe Org.

The Power Animals are fully sentient physical manifestations of the planet's lifeforce, being metallic from the absorption of metals during their creation and are the holy power that protects the planet. Each of the Gaorangers possesses a totem Power Animal to whom their powers are based, along with others that are acquired throughout the series. Each Power Animal possesses a GaoJewel that it entrusts to the Gaoranger that it is bounded with. Most of the Power Animals acquired by the Gaorangers reside on the Sky Island Animarium (天空島 アニマリウム Tenkūjima Animariumu?).

The Power Animals are summoned using the command "Hyakujū Summon" (百獣召還 Hyakujū Shōkan?)/"Summoning, Gao(name of animal)! ( Shōkan Gao()!?) and when they are combined, the command "Hyakujū Combine" (百獣合体 Hyakujū Gattai?), is used. When an additional Power Animal is being added to a combination, the command "Hyakujū Armament" (百獣武装 Hyakujū Busō?) is used. Although there are numerous Power Animal combinations, only some made it on the show, the movie, and a few other sources.

In the finale, when Senki destroys the seventeen Power Animals aiding the Gaorangers and GaoGod, the other eighty Power Animals appear in the forms of colorful spheres and revive their fallen comrades. When they are united, all one hundred Power Animals use their Heavenly Earth Roar Hyakujū Animal Heart to finally destroy Senki. A list of all 100 Power Animals and design sketches for combinations which didn't appear in the show was included as part of an art book showing renderings of all Super Sentai mecha up through Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger.

[edit] GaoKing

GaoKing (ガオキング GaoKingu?): Called the "Spirit King" (精霊王 Seirei Ō?), it is the combination of the five main Gaorangers’ totem Power Animals. GaoKing was first introduced in Episode 2 to fight against Barbwire Org. Its finishing attack is Natural Thunderous Roar Animal Heart (天地轟鳴アニマルハート Tenchi Gōmei Animaru Hāto?) which is an energy blast fired from the mouths of the component Power Animals. It is upgraded to Heavenly Earth Roar Super Animal Heart when they acquire the Soul Bird. When GaoBison was injured however, the Gaorangers made GaoKing do a handstand and did an upside down version called Heavenly Earth Turnaround Reverse Animal Heart to finish the Lawnmower Org. Its second finishing attack is sword technique (sword from Gao Shark)is called Surging Flash Surging Arrow (怒涛一閃サージングアロー Dotō Issen Sājingu Arō?)

  • GaoLion (ガオライオン GaoRaion?): GaoRed's totem Power Animal. Becomes GaoKing's upper torso or GaoKentaurus’ lower torso and feet.
  • GaoEagle (ガオイーグル GaoĪguru?): GaoYellow's totem Power Animal. It can transform into GaoKing's head or become a waist for the GaoMuscle/GaoKnight formations. It is able to fire Feather Bombs from its wings when not in formation.
  • GaoShark (ガオシャーク GaoShāku?): GaoBlue's totem Power Animal. Becomes a right arm part. Its formation special attack is Shark Shot (シャークショット Shāku Shotto?) and its dorsal fin is used as a small knife-like weapon called the Fin Blade (フィンブレード Fin Burēdo?).
  • GaoBison (ガオバイソン GaoBaison?): GaoBlack's totem Power Animal. Becomes GaoKing's, GaoMuscle's, and GaoKnight's lower torso and feet. In other formations, it adds Another Foot to the name. Its formation special attack is called Bison Kick (バイソンキック Baison Kikku?) or Double Bison Kick (ダブルバイソンキック Daburu Baison Kikku?).
  • GaoTiger (ガオタイガー GaoTaigā?): GaoWhite's totem Power Animal. Becomes a left arm part. Its formation special attack is called Tiger Attack (タイガーアタック Taigā Atakku?), a punch attack that is usually used alongside GaoShark's Shark Shot.

[edit] GaoMuscle

GaoMuscle (ガオマッスル GaoMassuru?): Called the "Muscular Warrior" (筋肉の戦士 Kinniku no Senshi?), it is the combination of GaoGorilla, GaoBear, GaoPolar, GaoBison & GaoEagle. GaoMuscle originally served as a replacement while GaoLion was badly injured. It wields an anchor and chain, called the Muscle Anchor (マッスルアンカー Massuru Ankā?), and two shoulder cannons called the Muscle Crackers (マッスルクラッカー Massuru Kurakkā?). It has the Muscle Bear Hug (マッスルベアハッグ Massuru Bea Haggu?) technique and its finishing moves are Unmatched Strength Muscle Lariat (剛力無双マッスルラリアット Gōriki Musō Massuru Rariatto?), where it strikes with energized punches.

  • GaoGorilla (ガオゴリラ GaoGorira?): One of GaoRed's additional Power Animals. Becomes GaoMuscle’s upper torso and head. During the Gaorangers' journey to find the shining mushroom, GaoGorilla pulls them back in time to a period where a forest was still untouched by construction. It was awakened by a woman that the Gaorangers befriend and it traveled back to the present time with the Gaorangers. Its special attack is Banana Bomb (バナナボム Banana Bomu?), where it throws explosive bananas at the enemy.
  • GaoBear & GaoPolar (ガオベアー＆ガオポーラー GaoBeā to GaoPōrā?): Some of GaoYellow's additional Power Animals (he carries the jewels but gives them to Blue and White when used) who originally appeared as mysterious boys in black and white respectively. After GaoYellow retrieved flowers for GaoBear and GaoPolar, they gave him two seeds that turned into their Gao Jewels. GaoBear uses the power of fire and transforms into a left arm part. GaoPolar uses the power of ice and transforms into a right arm part. When added to another combination with GaoPolar, Double Knuckle (ダブルナックル Daburu Nakkuru?) is added to that formation's name and they would then destroy the enemy with the Bear Strike attack. If only one is used, Knuckle (ナックル Nakkuru?) is added, as seen in episode 38 when GaoBear was added alone with GaoKing. Their specialty move other than Bear Strike is Whirling Frenzy (巴大車輪 Tomoe Daisharin?), where the two join their feet together and rapidly spin towards the enemy when they are not in a mecha formation, and Ice Fang Blaze Bear Strike (氷牙炎滅ベアーストライク Hyōga Enmetsu Beā Sutoraiku?), where blasts are fired from the mouths of GaoBear and GaoPolar. While under Loki's control, GaoHunter Double Knuckle used Spirit Blaze Bear Strike (精霊炎滅ベアーストライク Seirei Enmetsu Beā Sutoraiku?). GaoBear and GaoPolar didn't initially accept GaoLion, and GaoLion was injured.

[edit] Soul Bird

Referred to as the "GaoHeart", Soul Bird (ソウルバード Sōru Bādo?) is special creature that can increase the power of the Gaorangers' Power Animal combinations, excluding GaoHunter. Originally, Tetomu performed a ritual to turn Kage Mushroom into the Gao Egg (ガオの卵 Gao no Tamago?) that then hatched into a small blue bird that Kakeru named Pyochan (ピヨちゃん Piyochan?). During the battle against Shuten, Piyochan matured into the Soul Bird to heal the Power Animals and help the Gaorangers defeat Shuten. Since then the Soul Bird has been used as the cockpit in the formations, at the command "Soul Drive, GaoKing!" or "GaoMuscle!". When used with GaoKing, Animal Heart is upgraded to Super Animal Heart, where the blast attack is not only shot from the Power Animal's mouths, but from a cannon inside the Soul Bird as well. In the Gaoranger Vs. Super Sentai Movie, Super Animal Heart was enhanced by the power from the giant robots of the previous Sentai teams during the battle against Rakushaasa.

When the Vase Org had transported GaoKing and GaoHunter into another dimension, a feather from Pyo escaped and became Yo, an evil, red-eyed version of Pyo, while in place of the trapped Pyo, a pure good Pi was left. Eventually, Tetomu convinced Yo to help the Gaorangers and become the Soul Bird and GaoMuscle Striker was formed for the first time. After the Vase Org was defeated, the two Soul Birds became one again.

[edit] GaoHunter

GaoHunter (ガオハンター GaoHantā?): Combination of GaoSilver's Power Animals, their formation referred as Advent (降臨 Kōrin?) compared to the other combinations. It is armed with the Crescent Boomerang (クレセントブーメラン Kuresento Būmeran?) and Ligator Blade (リゲーターブレード Rigētā Burēdo?). One thousand years ago, it was first formed when the three Power Animals of Shirogane were exposed to Thousand-Year Evil as part of Shirogane's plan to kill Hyakkimaru. In the end, GaoHunter became a cursed incarnation of itself, the "Wicked King" (邪なる王 Janaru Ō?) GaoHunter Evil (ガオハンターイビル GaoHantā Ibiru?), with its components reduced to Demon Beasts (魔獣 Majū?), came by the Loki's command "Demon Beast Summon!" (魔獣召還 Majū Shōkan?), joining together under the command "Demon Beast Combine" (魔獣合体 Majū Gattai?). In its cursed form, it has a horn and its face is hidden, able to perform the Evil Sixteenth Night Cut (魔性十六夜斬り Mashō Jūrokuya Giri?) and could merge with GaoGiraffe, GaoBear and GaoPolar with the command "Demon Beast Armament! (魔獣武装 Majū Busō?).

After the Dark Mask was broken by GaoKing Striker and Shirogane transformed into GaoSilver in Episode 24, GaoHunter assumes his true form, GaoHunter Justice (ガオハンタージャスティス GaoHantā Jasutisu?), the "Hunter of Justice" (正義の狩人 Seigi no Kariudo?). Its finishing moves are Natural Shake Beast Hurricane (天地震撼ビーストハリケーン Tenchi Shinkan Bīsuto Harikēn?), a blast attack from GaoLigator's mouth, similar to GaoKing's Animal Heart, and Demon Rush Revolver Phantom (悪鬼突貫リボルバーファントム Akki Tokkan Riborubā Fantomu?), where it dashes into its opponent with the Ligator Blade spinning a drill. It is also able to perform combination attacks with other formations, such as Beast Gods as One Animal Burst (獣神一体アニマルバースト Jūshin Ittai Animaru Bāsuto?) with GaoKing and Double God Impact (ダブルゴッドインパクト Daburu Goddo Inpakuto?) with GaoGod. GaoHunter Justice can also do a GaoHunter version of the Evil-Crushing Seijuu Orbs attack called Hunter SeiJuu Orb (ハンター聖獣球 Hantā Seijūkyū?) with GaoMadillo. In Episode 40, after GaoGod took away the other Gaorangers Power Animals, GaoHunter had to battle alone against Tinplate Org. But with the energy that the other Gaorangers drew in from their totem Power Animals, GaoHunter was temporarily powered up into GaoHunter Blue Moon (ガオハンターブルームーン GaoHantā Burū Mūn?), a form where GaoLigator turns blue and GaoHunter’s eyes glow green. As Blue Moon, "Blue" precedes the standard attack names, and GaoHunter is able to perform a different version of the Evil Sixteenth Night Cut called the Ligator Blade Crecent Moon Cut (リゲーターブレード三日月斬り Rigētā Burēdo Mikazuki Giri?). Its finishing move is Roaring Moonlight Blue Moon Heart (月下咆哮ブルームーンハート Gekka Hōkō Burū Mūn Hāto?). But GaoHunters' components would be resting for weeks afterwards to regain their full strength from the stress of Blue Moon Mode.

  • GaoWolf (ガオウルフ GaoUrufu?): GaoSilver's totem Power Animal. Acts as a left arm part. Its formation special attack is Wolf Attack (ウルフアタック Urufu Atakku?), whereas it is known as Blue Wolf Attack (ブルーウルフアタック Burū Urufu Atakku?) in Blue Moon Mode. It can also combine with other mecha when the GaoHunter formation is not possible, adding the name Another Arm (アナザーアーム Anazā Āmu?). GaoWolf can also transform into GaoSilver's wolf-themed motorcycle, the Wolf Roader (ウルフローダー Urufu Rōdā?).
  • GaoHammerhead (ガオハンマーヘッド GaoHanmāheddo?): One of GaoSilver's additional Power Animals. Acts as a right arm part. Its formation special attack is Hammer Shot (ハンマーショット Hanmā Shotto?), whereas it is known as Blue Hammer Shot (ブルーハンマーショット Burū Hanmā Shotto?) in Blue Moon Mode. Like GaoWolf, it can also combine with another mecha if the GaoHunter formation is not possible.
  • GaoLigator (ガオリゲーター Gaorigātā?): One of GaoSilver's additional Power Animals. It becomes GaoHunter’s main body and feet. Its tail combines with GaoHammerhead's dorsal fin to become the Ligator Blade weapon for GaoHunter.

[edit] GaoGod

GaoGod (ガオゴッド GaoGoddo?): The "God of the Power Animals" (パワーアニマルの神 Pawā Animaru no Kami?), comprised of the five God Power Animals (ゴッドパワーアニマル Goddo Pawā Animaru?). Tetomu refers to him as Wild God (荒神様 Aragami-sama?). As GaoGod, his attacks are God Beasts Wild God Sword (神獣荒神剣 Shinjū Aragamiken?) and Heaven's Punishment Power Arrow (天誅パワーアロー Tenchū Pawā Arō?), where he shoots his sword like an arrow. He was used by the ancient Gaorangers and was made from older versions of the current Gaorangers' totem Power Animals: GaoLeon (ガオレオン GaoReon?), who forms the torso and is the black version of GaoLion; GaoCondor (ガオコンドル GaoKondoru?) who forms the head and is a blue bird similar to GaoEagle, the only difference is that the parts on its tail that become the horns on GaoGod's helmet are used as the bow for the Power Arrow; GaoSawshark (ガオソーシャーク GaoSōshāku?), who forms the right arm, and is a maroon shark with a saw bill that is used as GaoGod's sword, making it slightly similar to GaoShark; GaoBuffalo (ガオバッファロー GaoBaffarō?), who forms the legs and is similar to GaoBison; and GaoJaguar (ガオジャガー GaoJagā?), who forms the left arm and is similar to GaoTiger. In the movie, he was piloted by GaoSilver. GaoGod was killed 1,000 years ago by Hyakkimaru, which forced Shirogane to don the Dark Mask. In the present day, he appeared in spirit form to help the Gaorangers restore Shirogane to normal, including temporarily eclipsing the full moon which caused Loki to temporarily revert back to Shirogane. Later, as GaoRed & GaoSilver were fighting Ura, he took the form of the human boy Futaro (風太郎 Fūtarō?) and guided the four Gaorangers in the afterlife. When they awakened GaoFalcon and were resurrected, he was as well. As Futaro, he was unaware of his true form at first, but slowly began to remember after meeting his old friend, Shirogane, and listening to Tetomu perform Murasaki's song. After seeing how the humans had polluted Earth, he transformed into GaoGod and took the Power Animals from the Gaorangers, deeming that humanity does not deserve their help because humans are wasteful creatures and only pollute the Earth. But after the Gaorangers showed their will to protect the Earth and its creatures, he revealed to had been actually testing them as he aided GaoHunter Blue Moon. He returned the Power Animals and left the duty to protect the Earth in the hands of the Gaorangers. He later returned to notify the Gaorangers of the final Org, help Tetomu in sealing the Matrix and in the fight against Senki, where he was killed again, but was revived with the others and the God Power Animals helped destroy Senki. As Futaro he was last seen attending a picnic with his friends in the credits of the final episode.

[edit] GaoKnight

GaoKnight (ガオナイト GaoNaito?): Called the "Spirit Knight of Fire" (炎の精霊騎士 Honō no Seirei Kishi?), it is the combination of GaoKong, GaoEagle, GaoShark, GaoTiger, GaoBison, and GaoElephant along with Soul Bird. Its finishing move is All Together Natural Big Burn Final. This and GaoKong are exclusive only to the Gaoranger movie.

  • GaoKong (ガオコング GaoKongu?): A red version of GaoGorilla that is the guardian of the island. Its Gao Jewel was formed when the two pieces of the ruby were joined on an alter during three simultaneous eclipses, and it was then awakened from the volcano. It attacks with flaming palm trees.

GaoIcarus (ガオイカロス GaoIkarosu?): Called the "Heavenly Spirit King" (天空の精霊王 Tenkū no Serei Ō?), it is the combination of GaoFalcon, GaoGiraffe, GaoDeers, GaoRhinos, and GaoMadillo. GaoIcarus first appeared in Episode 31 to fight against Ultimate Form Ura. It is capable of flight by using GaoFalcon's wings, or it can use them as a shield, called Defense Mode (ディフェンスモード Difensu Mōdo?). The eye designs on GaoFalcon's wings are able to freeze an Org in place with the Icarus Bind (イカロスバインド Ikarosu Baindo?) technique. Its finishing move is Ultimate Heavenly Technique Icarus Dynamite (究極天技イカロスダイナマイト Kyūkyoku Tengi Ikarosu Dainamaito?), which is an enhanced version of Rhino Shoot (ライノシュート Raino Shūto?) where GaoIcarus performs a flip kick while in midair to propel GaoMadillo and bombard the Org from above after performing Strong Flash Kick Rhino Shoot (強蹴一閃ライノシュート Kyōshū Issen Raino Shūto?). Once when all the other Power Animals but GaoFalcon that make up GaoIcarus were badly damaged from Steam Engine Org, GaoFalcon fused with GaoWolf, GaoHammerhead, and GaoBison to create "New Heavenly Spirit King" (新たなる天空の精霊王 Aratanaru Tenkū no Serei Ō?) GaoIcarus Another Foot and Arm (ガオイカロスアナザーフット＆アーム GaoIkarosu Anazā Futto ando Āmu?). In this form, it is also armed with the Ligator Blade and its finishing move is called Demon Destruction Icarus Breaker (悪鬼撃滅イカロスブレイカー Akki Gekimetsu Ikarosu Bureikā?), where GaoIcarus dashes forward and drives the Crescent Boomerang into the enemy with the Ligator Blade.

It is summoned by the Falcon Summoner, comes out of a volcano in a Phoenix-like fashion. After Ura killed all the Gaorangers except for GaoRed and GaoSilver, the other Gaorangers in the afterlife were able to put a puzzle together that not only awakened GaoFalcon, but it also returned them to life.
  • GaoGiraffe (ガオジュラフ GaoJurafu?): GaoBlue's additional Power Animal. It was originally in the form of a crane and sent dreams to Kai where GaoKing was no match for Boat Org and that they needed the “spotted spear” to win. When the dream began to come true, Tetomu realized that a Power Animal was calling to him. When GaoBlue called out to the Power Animal, the crane he used earlier during their fight against Boat Org revealed its true form as GaoGiraffe. GaoGiraffe can transform into the Giraffe Spear (ジュラフスピアー Jurafu Supiā?), a right arm with its head is covered by a pointed helmet, adding the word Spear (スピアー Supiā?) when used with the GaoKing, GaoHunter, or GaoMuscle formations. Its finishing move is Demon Penatration Neck Thrust (悪鬼貫徹ネックスラスト Akki Kantetsu Nekku Surasuto?), where its head is fired from its neck, and the enemy is pierced by its helmet. When combined with GaoHunter when it was evil, its attack was Spirit Penatration Neck Thrust (精霊貫徹ネックスラスト Seirei Kantetsu Nekku Surasuto?). GaoGiraffe made a cameo in Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger.
  • GaoMadillo (ガオマジロ GaoMajiro?): One of GaoBlack's additional Power Animals, chanting "Madi" (マジ Maji?). He, along with GaoRhinos, was summoned by GaoBison to help against Loki after GaoBison was badly injured by Lawnmower Org. GaoMadillo originally appeared in a miniaturized form in the guise of soccerball when it gave their jewels to GaoBlack. When used in combination with GaoRhinos, GaoMadillo goes into GaoRhinos's right foot. GaoMadillo was once used by GaoKing Another Arm as a bowling ball for the Super-Fast Rotation Tornado GaoMadillo Spin (超速回転トルネードガオマジロスピン Chōsoku Kaiten Torunēdo GaoMajiro Supin?) technique in order to counter Bowling Org's bowling ball.
  • GaoRhinos (ガオライノス GaoRainosu?): One of GaoBlack's additional Power Animals. Becomes the lower torso and feet for GaoIcarus. It arrived after GaoMadillo gave their two GaoJewels to GaoBlack.

In the past, Shirogane and Murasaki used to play music for it. But after Murasaki's throat was injured by some Orgettes, it became angry at Shirogane for failing to protect Murasaki and left. With some help from Tetomu, GaoSilver was able to play for GaoDeers once again and it gave Tetomu its jewel. Afterwards, Tetomu gave its jewel to GaoWhite. When used with GaoKing or GaoMuscle, it adds the word Cross Horn (クロスホーン Kurosu Hōn?) to that formation’s name. Its signature moves are Cleansing Radiance Manifestation Bubble Capture (清輝顕現バブルキャプチャー Seiki Kengen Baburu Kyapuchā?) to seal enemies and Natural-Reverse Horn Crash (天地逆転ホーンクラッシュ Tenchi Gyakuten Hōn Kurasshu?) for a final blow.

[edit] GaoKentaurus

GaoKentaurus (ガオケンタウロス GaoKentaurosu?): Called the "Great Hero" (大いなる勇者 Ōinaru Yūsha?) or "Great Sage" (偉大なる賢者 Idai naru Kenja?), it is the combination of GaoFalcon, GaoShark, GaoTiger, GaoElephant, and an enlarged GaoLion. In Episode 43, when Dorodoro trapped the Gaorangers in hell where the spirits of the previous fallen Orgs were, they were unable to summon their Power Animals when Dorodoro became giant. At that time, Tetomu was Rasets' prisoner who wanted her to cook for him, but she was then rescued by the totem Power Animals. Remembering how the Gaorangers loved her cooking, she casts a spell on a piece of food and sends it into GaoLion's mouth causing it to grow several kilometers. GaoFalcon then combined with GaoLion and the others, and they crossed into the dimension where the Gaorangers were fighting. GaoKentaurus then destroyed the spirits of the fallen Orgs and Dorodoro. GaoKentaurus was also used to finish off Rasets in the following episode.

[edit] Some of the Hundred Beasts

Pictures and text surrounding this table in the book depict and describe several of the unused Power Animals, four of which appeared in the final episode as cameos. "Young" Power Animals, such as Soulbird, do not appear on the list, but two others shown and described include KoWallaby (considered part of Power Animal #26 GaoWallaby) and Mini Manta (considered part of Power Animal #29 GaoManta). There are also two distinct versions of Power Animal #31 GaoBat, a "good" version and "evil" version.

  • GaoPeacock (ガオピーコック GaoPīkokku?, 51): Though it made only a cameo, GaoPeacock is the most well described and depicted additional Power Animal. GaoPeacock attaches to GaoKing's back to form GaoKing Swordmaster (ガオキングソードマスター GaoKingu Sōdomasutā?). GaoPeakock's tail can shift from an at-rest tail-like position on GaoKing Swordmaster to a position faned out behind its back from which weapons may be drawn. The centermost "feather" of the tail becomes a sword, the two "feathers" immediately next to it on either side combine into a double-headed sickle weapon, the next pair of "feathers" are a pair of smaller swords, and the final outer-most "feathers" become a three-section staff. GaoShark or GaoTiger appear to be necessary arms in the combination to hold the weapons normally. GaoPeacock's wings are half retracted behind the combinations shoulders, but are shown to be optionally able to extend fully.
  • GaoKing Varlituder (ガオキングヴァーリトゥーダー GaoKingu Vāritūdā?): This combination is essentially GaoKing Striker Double-Knuckle Swordmaster with GaoCobra (ガオコブラ GaoKobura?) in its foot in place of GaoMadillo (which is standard for the Striker legs). Additional parts are shown attached to GaoBear and GaoPolar to enable the use of the Swordmaster weapons from GaoPeacock, but it is not specified whether these are optional parts of GaoPeacock or parts of GaoCobra. GaoCobra separated from the combination is not shown.
  • GaoWallaby (ガオワラビー GaoWarabī?): From text, GaoWallaby is apparently an adult female Wallaby with a pouch, and carries Baby Wallaby (子ワラビー KoWarabii?) (the Japanese prefix ko- indicates a child version as in the term koneko for kitten), though a picture of the two separated from a combination is not shown. GaoWallaby forms shoulder cannons and a left gauntlet on GaoMuscle Magnum (ガオマッスルマグナム GaoMassuru Magunamu?) and KoWallaby forms a right gauntlet/cannon on the combination.
  • GaoGuardian (ガオガーディアン GaoGādian?): A completely new combination formed from GaoPeacock (back and part of torso), GaoWallaby (forming both the torso and legs), KoWallaby (forming the head), GaoTortoise (ガオトータス GaoTōtasu?) (forming the left arm), and GaoToppy (ガオトッピー GaoToppī?) (forming the right arm). Neither GaoTortoise nor GaoToppy's arm forms are shown as having hands as detail shots are shown of the blade weapons on each, and no method for employing the Swordmaster weapons is shown or mentioned.
  • GaoManta (ガオマンタ GaoManta?): Both GaoManta and MiniManta (ミニマンタ MiniManta?) are shown separated as well as in combinations. GaoManta attaches to GaoKing's back with its detached tail forming a new large sword held by the GaoShark arm to form GaoKing Aquadiver (ガオキングアクアダイバー GaoKingu Akuadaibā?). MiniManta's placement, if any, on this combination is not visible nor mentioned in the text.
  • GaoBoar (ガオボアー GaoBoā?): GaoBoar has a spinning joint located in its forehead and pulls a cart that is equipped with two large cannons and carries a pair of drill attachments. A drill can be attached to the joint in GaoBoar's forehead. GaoBoar becomes a left arm on GaoMuscle with a drill attached, and the cart becomes back-mounted shoulder cannons to form GaoMuscle Longhorn (ガオマッスルロングホーン GaoMassuru Ronguhōn?). Specifically, GaoMuscle Striker Longhorn (ガオマッスルストライカーロングホーン GaoMassuru Sutoraikā Ronguhōn?) is depicted and named.
  • GaoBat (ガオバット GaoBatto?): The good version of GaoBat splits to form a right arm and wings on GaoHunter, forming GaoHunter Phantom (ガオハンターファントム GaoHantā Fantomu?).
  • GaoTriple (ガオトリプル GaoToripuru?): A completely new combination formed from GaoManta (torso, and legs), MiniManta (chestplate), GaoBoar (left arm, with cart forming back, head, and shoulder cannons), and GaoBat (right arm and wings).
  • GaoDevil (ガオデビル GaoDebiru?): An enemy combination formed from GaoDile (ガオダイル Gaodairu?) (torso, legs, and shoulder cannons), the evil version of GaoBat (head and chest armor), GaoJaws (ガオジョーズ GaoJōsu?) (left arm), and GaoHammerhead (right arm). As is visible from the image, and is mentioned in the text, GaoDile and GaoJaws would be recolors of GaoLigator and GaoShark, with later slightly modified to be a left arm instead of right.
  • GaoSwallow (ガオスワロー GaoSuwarō?): GaoSwallow forms a right arm with a spinning action that launches a boomerang weapon. It forms combinations such as GaoKing Boomerang Arm (ガウキングブーメランアーム GaoKingu Būmeran Āmu?).
  • GaoMole (ガオモール Gaomōru?): GaoMole attaches to the spinning mechanism of GaoSwallow's arm form to create combinations such as GaoKing Drill Arm (ガウキングドリルアーム GaoKingu Doriru Āmu?).
  • GaoPenguin (ガオペンギン Gaopengin?): GaoPenguin attaches to the spinning mechanism of GaoSwallow's arm form to create combinations such as GaoKing Ice Sword Arm (ガウキングアイスソードアーム GaoKingu Aisu Sōdo Āmu?).
  • GaoMercury (ガオマーキュリー GaoMākyurī?): A small robot formed from GaoSwallow (torso, arms, and head), GaoMole (right leg), and GaoPenguin (left leg). GaoMercury is notably only about the size of a single arm from one of the other combined robos of Gaoranger.
  • GaoMammoth (ガオマンモス GaoManmosu?): A very large Power Animal. It is shown that the toy design would be motorized, and possessed and attachment that could expand into a large platform to be towed by GaoMammoth. GaoMammoth can also transform into a centaur-like mode, with the transformation being a motorized automatic feature of the toy design.
