List of Power Rangers Megaforce characters
The fictional characters of Power Rangers Dino Charge include the Power Rangers, their enemies, and their friends and allies in the battle.
Dino Charge Power Rangers
Based at the Amber Beach Museum in the city of Amber Beach, the Dino Charge Rangers' arsenal revolves on being powered by the Energems, ten items of great power. As the spirits of dinosaurs that Keeper initially entrusted the Energems to have bonded into them, they manifest as Zords that the Dino Charge Rangers use to fight enlarged monsters. Having only five Energems, the Rangers' mission is to find the remaining five before their enemies do. During the events of "Let Sleeping Zords Lie," it is hinted that someone found the Aqua Energem and that it allowed the Ankylo Zord to manifest.
Tyler Navarro
Tyler Navarro is the enthusiastic and adventurous leader of the team, who works as a chef at Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum's restaurant called the Dino Bite Cafe. Originally, Tyler had been searching for clues to the whereabouts of his father since he mysteriously disappeared at an archaeological dig, possibly caused by Fury, in which Tyler's father left his son a journal containing a sketch of Fury as a witness of his father's disappearance. Tyler's search brings him to a cave outside Amber Beach where he comes across the Red Energem embedded in a Tyrannosaurus fossil. This leads him to save Shelby from Sledge's monster Iceage as he becomes the Dino Charge Red Ranger. Upon battling Fury, Tyler's bracelet which was given to his father comes off from his left hand as Fury eventually realizes that he did remember his encounter with Tyler's father and responsible for his disappearance, thus making Tyler enrage for what Fury did to his father and trying to avenge his disappearance. Not only does he want to avenge his father's disappearance, but he witnesses some strange gold aura that weakens Fury, thus he will find out what inside Fury has been holding him when he meets Fury again.
As the Dino Charge Red Ranger, Tyler commands the T-Rex Zord that forms the core of the Dino Charge Megazord and use the other zords as arms in its formations such as its default Tri-Stego Formation with Tricera and Stego Zords, the Para-Raptor Formation with the Para and Raptor Zords, the Stego-Raptor Formation with the Stego and Raptor Zords, and the Tri-Ankylo Formation with the Tricera and Ankylo Zords.

Once the Tyrannosaurus did that job, Keeper entrusted the Energems to the Tyrannosaurus and the other assembled dinosaurs for safekeeping. However, Keeper's gambit with the bomb resulted with Sledge's collection of asteroids being released and causing extinction of the dinosaurs. After a short battle with Fury, Keeper resigns himself to his fate and is caught in the aftershock of dirt and dust.

Though assumed to have been caught in the asteroid debris, Fury survived and became a reoccurring nemesis to Keeper for millennia.
