Zyurangers

The Zyurangers transformed. From left to right: Goushi, Boi, Geki, Mei, and Dan.

The eponymous Zyurangers are five warriors from an ancient civilization of humans that evolved from dinosaurs and coexisted with them. The team was kept in suspended animation for 170 million years by their mentor Barza until their nemesis Bandora was accidentally released from her prison on the planetoid Nemesis. A sixth member later joins the team after being revived from suspended animation. The team utilize Dino Bucklers (ダイノバックラー, Daino Bakkurā) in order to transform. While transformed, each Zyuranger possesses enhanced strength, speed, agility and durability; and wield the Ranger Sticks (レンジャースティック, Renjā Sutikku) that can switch between its Ranger Sword (レンジャーソード, Renjā Sōdo) and Ranger Gun (レンジャーガン, Renjā Gan) modes, the Legendary Weapons (伝説の武器, Densetsu no Buki), and the Thunder Slingers (サンダースリンガー, Sandā Suringā). The Zyurangers also ride Zaurer Machine (ザウラーマシン, Zaurā Mashin) motorcycles.

The primary Zyurangers use the Howling Cannon (ハウリングキャノン, Hauringu Kyanon), the combined form of the Legendary Weapons, to finish off human-sized Dora Monsters. The Ranger Sticks are used for the Babel Attack (バベルアタック, Baberu Atakku) finisher by having the Zyurangers form a human tower, bringing the tips of each Ranger Stick toward the center and then shooting a combined, powerful energy blast. The Thunder Slingers can also combine with the Ranger Guns to form the Ranger Slingers (レンジャースリンガー, Renjā Suringā), which are used for the Final Shot (ファイナルショット, Fainaru Shotto) finisher by having the Zyurangers shoot their Ranger Slingers simultaneously at the target.

Geki is the leader of the Zyurangers who is the younger brother of Burai and has a strong sense of justice. Though he was raised by the King and Queen of the Yamato Tribe, he was actually adopted by them after his birth father rebelled against the Yamato King and was forced to give Geki up for adoption as punishment for his insubordination.

Burai froze himself in a separate sleeping chamber from the others and is the last Zyuranger to be revived in the present day. After awakening in the present day, Burai discovers that he is living on borrowed time and preserves his lifespan by staying inside the Timeless Room after the cave he originally froze himself in collapsed and was revived by Clotho.

Dinosaur Eggs

After the war with Bandora ended, the heads of the five ancient tribes placed two Dinosaur Eggs (恐竜の卵, Kyōryū no Tamago) within a chest and sent it off to sea, hoping for a safer place and time for dinosaurs. The chest drifted over to Dalos Island, where the Apelo Tribe resided. The Guardian Beasts appeared to the Apelo and entrusted them to protect the eggs until the Zyurangers returned to this world. After several attempts by Bandora to use them for her evil deeds, the Zyurangers finally claim the eggs and send them to King Brachion to incubate the eggs inside its body. The book known as "Dino Revelation" mentions that the eggs are the last pair of dinosaurs on

When the Zyurangers go into suspended animation, Burai follows them in his own chamber. However, an earthquake causes the cave where Burai was sleeping to collapse, crushing Burai to death. Daizyuzin asks Clotho to restore Burai's life, since he is the only person who can summon Dragon Caesar. Burai is restored to life, but only with a limited lifespan. Shortly after his revival and subsequent betrayal of Bandora, Clotho takes Burai to the Lapseless Room and gives him the Beast Play Sword. Clotho tells Burai that he only has a limited lifespan and leaves him with a green candle that represents the time he has left. The Lapseless Room is a chamber where time stands still, and every time Burai goes out to aid his brother, the candle gradually melts away. After Bandora destroys the room, Goushi and Dan attempt to get the Water of Life from its guardian, who is actually Clotho in disguise. She reveals that even with the Water of Life, Burai's life cannot be saved, since he has already died once. Clotho convinces Dan and Goushi to fulfill Burai's last wishes by giving the water to a boy in a hospital that Burai earlier befriended and save his life instead.

Clotho is portrayed by Mayumi Sakai (酒井 麻由美, Sakai Mayumi).

Guardian Beasts

The Guardian Beasts (守護獣, Shugojū) are the seven gods worshipped by the five ancient tribes that the Zyurangers come from. The Guardian Beasts originally existed in one form as Ultimate Daizyuzin before splitting into seven separate forms due to being weakened after banishing Great Satan. The Guardian Beasts are summoned when the command "I summon the Guardian Beast (name of the Guardian Beast)!" (現れよ、守護獣(守護獣の名前)よ, Araware yo Shugojū (Shugojū no Namae) yo) is given. However, if the five core Guardian Beasts are commanded, the Zyurangers say "We summon the Guardian Beasts! (現れよ、守護獣たちよ, Araware yo Shugojū-tachi yo)". When they first get in their cockpits, the Zyurangers shout the command "(Name) Ranger! Guardian Beast (name of the Guardian Beast)! United!" ((名前)レンジャー!守護獣(守護獣の名前)!合身!, (Namae) Renjā! Shugojū (Shugojū no Namae)! Gasshin!) and use the Dino Crystals (ダイノクリスタル, Daino Kurisutaru), created from the medallions within each Zyurangers' Dino Buckler, to enable the Guardian Beasts to combine. When not in use, the Guardian Beasts can speak to the Zyurangers in their individual separate forms.

  • Guardian Beast Tyrannosaurus (守護獣ティラノザウルス, Shugojū Tiranozaurusu): Piloted by Tyranno Ranger, Tyrannosaurus emerges from under the Earth when it is summoned. The biggest and strongest of the core Guardian Beasts, it can finish of giant Dora Monsters with its disintegrating Tyranno Sonic (ティラノソニック, Tirano Sonikku) shockwave. It is also able to stand on its tail to deliver jump kicks to its enemy. Tyrannosaurus is voiced by Eiji Maruyama (丸山 詠二, Maruyama Eiji), who also provides the voices of Daizyuzin and Gouryuzin.
  • Guardian Beast Zyu Mammoth (守護獣ジューマンモス, Shugojū Jū Manmosu): Piloted by Mammoth Ranger, Zyu Mammoth emerges from a glacial area when it is summoned. It can blow glacial gas called Moth Blizzard (モスブリザード, 'Mosu Burizādo) from the trunk to freeze enemies.

  • Guardian Beast Saber Tiger (守護獣サーベルタイガー, Shugojū Sāberu Taigā): Piloted by Tiger Ranger, Saber Tiger emerges from a jungle area when it is summoned. Its running speed excels that of all the other Guardian Beasts. It also has two laser guns called the Saber Gun (サーベルガン, Sāberu Gan) on its tail. Saber Tiger is voiced by Masaki Terasoma (寺杣 昌紀, Terasoma Masaki).
  • Guardian Beast Pteranodon (守護獣プテラノドン, Shugojū Puteranodon): Piloted by Ptera Ranger, Pteranodon emerges from a volcano when it is summoned. It is the only Guardian Beast with flying ability and emits a pair of laser beams known as the Ptera Beam (プテラビーム, Putera Bīmu) from its wings.
  • Guardian Beast Dragon Caesar (守護獣ドラゴンシーザー, Shugojū Doragon Shīzā): Piloted by Dragon Ranger, this Godzilla-like Guardian Beast emerges from Tokyo Bay when it is summoned by Zyusouken's summoning melody. It has a drill on its tail and can launch a blast of missiles from its fingertips called the Dragon Harley which are powerful enough to destroy giant Dora Monsters. Dragon Caesar becomes depressed after Burai's death, but soon realizes that the other Guardian Beasts still need its help and accepts Geki as its new master.
  • Beast Knight God King Brachion (獣騎神キングブラキオン, Jūkishin Kingu Burakion): The biggest of the seven Guardian Beasts and the only one without a pilot, it resembles a Brachiosaurus and emerges from out of a misty forest valley when it is summoned. When King Brachion first appears, he tests Geki and Burai if they are worthy of the Thunder Slingers under its guard. After that, he comes to the Zyurangers' aid whenever needed and helps form Ultimate Daizyuzin when the command "We summon the Beast Knight God King Brachion! (現れよ、獣騎神キングブラキオン!, Araware yo Jūkishin Kingu Burakion!)" is given by Tyranno Ranger. When the Dinosaur Eggs are recovered, they are given into King Brachion's care for 60 days.

Daizyuzin

Daizyuzin (大獣神, Daijūjin, Great Beast God) is the combined form of Tyrannosaurus, Zyu Mammoth, Triceratops, Saber Tiger, and Pteranodon. He is first formed as Beast Tank Dino Tanker (獣戦車ダイノタンカー, Jūsensha Daino Tankā) with the command "Unite! Dino Mission!" (合体・ダイノミッション, Gattai Daino Misshon), and then into Daizyuzin with the command "Activate! Daizyuzin!" (発動! 大獣神, Hatsudō! Daijūjin). Tyrannosaurus forms the head and body; Zyu Mammoth forms the arms, back, and shield; Triceratops forms the left leg; Saber Tiger forms the right leg; and Pteranodon forms the chest. As Dino Tanker, he attacks enemies with its two powerful cannons, the Beast Tank Cannons (獣戦車キャノン, Jūsensha Kyanon), or with laser blasts from the eyes of each Guardian Beast called the Beast Tank Storm (獣戦車ストーム, Jūsensha Sutōmu). Daizyuzin wields Zyu Mammoth's head as the Mammoth Shield (マンモスシールド, Manmosu Shīrudo), which can fire energy beams from its eyes, and the Dinosaur Sword God Horn (恐竜剣ゴッドホーン, Kyōryūken Goddo Hōn), which he uses in his Super Legend Lightning Cut (超伝説雷光斬り, Chō Densetsu Raikō Giri) finisher. Daizyuzin can also fire energy beams from his eyes and forehead.

  • When combined with Dragon Caesar, Daizyuzin becomes Sovereign Fusion Zyutei Daizyuzin (獣帝合体獣帝大獣神, Jūtei Gattai Jūtei Daijūjin, Beast Emperor Great Beast God). He attacks his enemies with the Kaiser Burst (カイザーバースト, Kaizā Bāsuto), energy beams fired from the chest and shoulder armor.

Gouryuzin

Gouryuzin (剛龍神, Gōryūjin, Mighty Dragon God) is the combined form of Dragon Caesar, ZyuMammoth, Triceratops, and Saber Tiger. He is formed with the command "Unite! Dragon Mission!" (合体・ドラゴンミッション, Gattai Doragon Misshon).

Bandora Gang

The Bandora Gang (バンドーラ一味, Bandōra Ichimi) are the nemeses of the Zyurangers. The members of the gang originated from Earth and emerged 170 million years ago during the same era the Zyurangers lived in. After being sealed away on the planet Nemesis which orbits Earth once every 230 million years, the Bandora Gang were released in the present day by two careless astronauts. Bandora and her minions were located at the Bandora Palace (バンドーラパレス, Bandōra Paresu, written as "Bandra Palace" on the sign), which was located on the Moon. Though their intent was making Earth a wasteland, they also caused mischief for the Zyurangers until they were sealed again in the finale.

Bandora

Witch Bandora (魔女バンドーラ, Majo Bandōra) was originally the Queen of the Dall Tribe. After her son Kai was killed when he was discovered breaking Tyrannosaurus eggs by being chased off a cliff by a mother Tyrannosaurus, Bandora sold her soul to Great Satan for the power to become a witch and vowed revenge on the dinosaurs by killing children as part of her pact with Great Satan with the intention of wiping out the human race. Viewing herself as the greatest witch ever known, she has seemingly unlimited magical abilities including enlarging her Dora Monsters. She has served as the nemesis of the Zyurangers. Occasionally she has sung her theme song "Dora! The Song of Witch Bandora". The song is sung after Burai first appears. She planned on making everyone dance to her song when she took over Earth.

Bandora gets extremely furious in a hilarious manner when defeated. She also experiences headaches at times, only to be comforted by her fellow warriors, usually Grifforzer. Moreover, Bandora does eccentric things such as going on a crash diet and dismissing her followers when they fail. When she created Dora Franke from the Dokiita-Clay, she had her minions build the Satan Tower. After which, she performed the Strongest of Black Magic rituals, which is used in the summoning of Great Satan, and this nearly kills her.

She loses her powers after shedding a tear over Kai's death (after being resurrected by Great Satan to pilot Dora Taros) as a witch loses her powers upon crying. Powerless, Bandora and her henchmen are sealed away and exiled to space by Daizyuzin. She is overwhelmed by the cuteness of Lamie and Grifforzer's son and cradles him around, proving she has, in the end, regained a part of her former goodness.

Bandora's

staff, the DoraSceptre, can do many magic tricks, including making the Dora Monsters grow. She often looks down at Earth through her DoraScope
.

Bandora is portrayed by Machiko Soga (曽我 町子, Soga Machiko).

Grifforzar

Grifforzar (グリフォーザー, Gurifōzā) is a manticore-themed knight who wields the Grifocaliber IV sword and can fly with the help of his retractable wings. He is also Lamie's husband. Grifforzar was mute until Lamie came along (he saved his voice for her to hear). Despite being mute, he was still capable of giving commands to his soldiers with his vicious personality. Griffozar had a frequent rivalry with Tyranno Ranger. He is violent and possesses amazing strength. Griffozar is a dangerous opponent as evident by being able to outlast and defeat Daizyuzin. Even alone, he proved to be more than a match for the Zyurangers in their early battles. He had a son with Lamie towards the end of the series, which Bandora adored. Unlike the others, he is much less vicious than his fellow lackies.

Grifforzar is initially voiced by Yoshimasa Chida (千田義正, Chida Yoshimasa) and later by Kan Tokumaru (徳丸 完, Tokumaru Kan).

Lamy

Secret Scorpion Agent Lamy (秘密蠍官ラミイ, Himitsu Sasorikan Ramī, 19-50) is the human-looking servant of Bandora who was sent after the Dinosaur Eggs before her mistress and her group were sealed. Unable to find the eggs, Lamy was forced to wait 170 million years for the return of her husband Grifforzar, whom she calls "darling". She was reunited with him when she found the eggs. Lamy wields the Lamy Boomerang, a crescent-shaped blade that can also be a sword.

When she is enlarged, she assumes the form of Lamy-Scorpion (ラミィスコーピオン, Ramī Sukōpion), a scorpion monster with an electrocuting stinger on her ponytail. This form of Lamy is a dangerous opponent to the Zyurangers and even more with Grifforzar's help as they held Daizyuzin at bay during an eclipse before an enlarged Dragon Ranger appeared to finish the giant off.

When the Zyurangers were dealing with Dora Silkis, Lamy found a rival in Mei in the art of disguises. She gave birth to a baby boy at the end of the series, who looks human like her. She is sealed away during the finale alongside the other main villains and has a son with Grifforzar which Bandora adored.

Lamy is portrayed by Ami Kawai (河合 亜美, Kawai Ami).

Topat

Topat (トットパット, Tottopatto) is a vampire who has never tasted blood and is a scatterbrained alchemist. He often talks very fast when nervous and is able to take human form. Topat is the companion of Bookback, whom he picks on for being slow. Topat is also much of a comedy relief. He attempted to taste the blood of a youth until a little girl named Michi intervened, with him vowing to get back at her for stepping on his foot while he hid away from her. Topat nearly tried to taste the girl's blood with Dora Argus' aid until Dan intervened. He also made a potion that makes people's personalities change (done with Dan and Mei) which could be cured by a rare herb called the Mandragora. His name is an ironic pun on "bat" and "tooth", as he is a somewhat harmless and funny vampire.

Topat is voiced by Kaoru Shinoda (篠田 薫, Shinoda Kaoru).

Bookback

Bookback (ブックバック, Bukkubakku) is a blue-skinned hobgoblin who records all of Bandora's evil deeds. He is able to assume human form. Bookback is extremely stupid, short-witted, and a cowardly cheat who'd do anything to win. Bookback has a large appetite and usually provides comic relief, along with Topat. He also annoys and/or angers Bandora quite frequently. Bookback is armed with a pistol for battle, though it is useless in most situations.

Bookback is voiced by Takeshi Watabe (渡部 猛, Watabe Takeshi).

Pleprechaun

Pleprechaun (プリプリカン, Puripurikan) is a leprechaun-like potter who forges the Dora Monsters and Golem Soldiers out of clay and is focused on his craft as he brings them to live with his Nendora Machine. He rarely shows up in battle and focuses more on enemy tactics. While working for Bandora, Pleprechaun is not really an evil character, but rather a somewhat unusual artist. He hates being rushed, claiming "You can't rush perfection or it'll be ruined." He is extremely brilliant and somewhat all-knowing, though he isn't much of a comedy relief, compared to most of Bandora's Gang.

Puripurikan is voiced by Yutaka Ooyama (大山 豊, Ōyama Yutaka).

Golem Soldiers

The Golem Soldiers (ゴーレム兵, Gōremu Hei) are warriors made out of clay. Their hands can change into boulder-fists and stone-blades. The Golem Soldiers' unorthodox tactics involve amassing in large numbers, dancing around enemies before going in for the attack and are able to regenerate their bodies after being destroyed. Two rocky armored versions of the Golems usually lead the others. When the Dokeeta-Clay is found, Dokeeta Golem Soldiers (ドキータゴーレム兵, Dokīta Gōremu, 29-50) are made from it. The Dokeeta Golems are stronger versions of ordinary Golem Soldiers, their regeneration abilities are advanced to the point that they each can split into two new Dokeeta Golems from the scattered remains. Also unlike normal Golems who have black eyes, the new Dokeeta Golems have red eyes and can fire lasers from their fingers. Geki and Burai retrieved the Thunder Slingers to defeat them. The Dokeeta Golems continued to appear in the series afterwards.

The Golem Soldiers were later summoned by Zaigan during Super Sentai World.

Great Satan

Great Satan (大サタン, Dai Satan, 30, 31 & 47-50) is an evil god that is depicted as a floating blue-skinned head and is the ultimate evil of the series. In the past, Great Satan used Bandora to try to destroy Earth 170 million years ago, but was banished back to Hell by Ultimate Daizyujin. In the present day, after having enough of the Zyurangers' interference, Bandora summons Great Satan with the help of the Satan Tower as her followers gather thirteen ten-year-old children as sacrificial payment in the Strongest of Black Magic ritual. Once he arrives, Great Satan uses his power to turn the Dora Monster Zombie Franke into Satan Franke. Great Satan is overpowered by Ultimate Daizyuzin, but brings Bandora's son Kai back to life to cement his pact with Bandora. Though he overpowers both Daizyuzin and Dragon Caesar, Great Satan is finally destroyed along with Dora Talos by Ultimate Daizyuzin's Grand Banisher.

Great Satan returns in the Super Sentai Strongest Battle mini-series when resurrected on the planet Nemesis by Rita, a sorceress who lost her homeworld and wanted to destroy what she considered an irredeemable universe. Rita orchestrated a tournament among the Super Sentai warriors to acquire the energy needed, bringing back Great Satan in his full-bodied form Ultimate Great Satan (究極大サタン, Kyūkyoku Dai Satan) before he is destroyed once more.

Great Satan is portrayed by Masahiko Urano (actor) (浦野 眞彦, Urano Masahiko) and voiced by Seizō Katō (加藤 精三, Katō Seizō).

Kai

Kai (カイ, Kai, 47-50) is Bandora's ruthless son and the prince of the Dahl Tribe who dies when he is discovered breaking dinosaur eggs and falls off a cliff evading a mother Tyrannosaurus. He is resurrected by Great Satan as the main pilot of Dora Talos. He would not let his mother hug him whenever she wanted to. When Dora Talos is eventually destroyed by Daizyuzin, a mortally wounded Kai struggles to make his way back to Bandora and dies in his mother's arms and faded away to Heaven.

Kai is portrayed by

Issei Takahashi
(高橋 一生, Takahashi Issei).

Dora Taros

Dora Taros (ドーラタロス, Dōra Tarosu, 47-50) is a giant white knight mecha piloted by Kai, Bandora's resurrected son. It has various weapons including its Taro Missiles, Taro Beam, Taro Punch, and could use Kai's telekinesis. Came when Kai gave out the command "Come forth, Dora Taros!" (現れよ、ドーラタロス!, Araware yo Dōra Tarosu!). Daizyuzin and Gouryuzin were of no match for this new menace. After being destroyed by Ultimate Daizyuzin, Bandora cast a spell that caused the ground to collapse from underneath King Brachion, causing him to sink into the ground, with the Dinosaur Eggs inside of him.

Once Great Satan appears on Earth, Bandora rebuilds Dora Taros with two extra horns on the sides of its head and extended blades from its arms which it uses to sever Daizyuzin's left arm and half of Dragon Caesar's tail, leaving Bandora free to cast a spell that causes the two to disappear. The Zyurangers later learn from Burai's spirit that the Guardian Beasts are trapped in Bandora's Magic Realm. The Zyurangers escape after smashing the globes containing their Guardian Beasts and attack Dora Taros through several quickly-ascending stages: separate Guardian Beasts, Daizyuzin, Dragon Caesar, Gouryuzin and finally Ultimate Daizyuzin destroying both Great Satan and Dora Taros forever.

Dora Monsters

The Dora Monsters (ドーラモンスター, Dōra Monsutā) (1-10, 12–16, and 23–27) are made out of clay by Pleprechuan and processed by the Neodora Machine (ネンドーラマシン, Neodōra Mashin) oven into human size. Throwing her DoraSceptor to Earth, usually when her Dora Monster is defeated, Bandora conjures the spell "Evil spirits that sleep in the ground, give more power to Dora (name of Dora monster)!" to regenerate the defeated Dora monster into a giant.

Dokeeta-Clay Dora Monsters

In response to the Zyurangers having Dragon Caesar and Gouryujin, Bandora's gang retrieves a batch of the new Dokeeta-Clay to create super-powered Golems as well as new and stronger Dora Monsters called the Dokeeta-Clay Dora Monsters (ドキイタ粘土ドーラモンスター, Dokīta-kureidoramonsutā) (28-33, 35–38, and 40–46), which the Guardian Beasts say are powerful enough to fight the Gods.

  • Dora Franke (ドーラフランケ, Dōra Furanke, 28 & 29) is the first Dora Monster made from Dokeeta-Clay. He acts as an enforcer while Bandora's group mine for more of the clay, causing the cockroaches under the Lark Ramen restaurant to surface. He attempts to kill Dan when he and Shinji find out about the scheme. He overpowered Tricera Ranger and the other Zyurangers with his superior strength and neck bolt nunchakus. Bandora grows Dora Franke and the monster overpowers Daizyuzin before Bandora leaves with the Dokeeta-Clay, but Daizyuzin retreated and sent Geki and Burai to retrieve the Thunder Slingers. As the Zyurangers have their new weapons, Dora Franke is sent to Earth and grows again to fight Daizyuzin and Dragon Caesar. The Zyurangers then used the Ranger Slingers to critically damage the monster, and Gouryuzin fatally impaled him. However, the power of the Dokiita-Clay revives and transforms Dora Franke into Zombie Franke (ゾンビフランケ, Zonbi Furanke, 29 & 30), a giant zombie monster. He later returns to stall the Zyurangers and Daizyuzin, so that Bandora has the chance to summon Great Satan. On Earth, Great Satan infused Zombie Franke with some of his power on Bandora's request, transforming the monster into the lethal demonic Satan Franke (サタンフランケ, Satan Furanke, 30 & 31). He overpowered Daizyuzin and Dragon Caesar, by spraying white acidic foam that melted their bodies as they send the Zyurangers to the Lapseless Room. Satan Franke proceeds to infect everyone with a plague until the Zyurangers revive Daizyuzin and Dragon Caesar and combined them into Zyutei Daizyuzin to kill Satan Franke for good. He is voiced by Maroshi Tamura (田村 円, Tamura Maroshi).
  • Dora Narcissus (ドーラナルシス, Dōra Narushisu, 32) is a humanoid narcissus Dora Monster, who is said to have life-giving powers. He absorbs humans through vines that protrude from behind and into his abdomen, and produces energy blasts from his eyes. He was used to make Geki hesitate to kill him due his hopes to keep Burai alive. Narcissus' weakness was in his own vanity, as he would stop to admire himself whenever he saw his reflection. He could also make himself grow without Bandora's magic. Daizyuzin took advantage of Narcissus' vanity in order to kill him. He is voiced by Masaki Terasoma (寺杣 昌紀, Terasoma Masaki).
  • Dora Laygor (ドーラレイガー, Dōra Reigā, 33) is a water fairy Dora Monster with pigtails who possessed a blue jewel of great power on her crown, using it to send children to her dimensional realm where she turns them into a blue liquid. This liquid would then be used to create a massive storm that would wipe out the city. Both this jewel and a red one were sister fairy princesses (Sunlight Fairy Sunny's being red and Rain Fairy Rainy's being blue) whom Bandora turned into gems during the days of the dinosaurs. Only by the gems touching each other would the curse be lifted. Dora Laygor was invincible until the owner of the red jewel, Saori, slammed her jewel into the blue jewel and broke the curse. Rendered powerless, Dora Laygor was quickly killed by the Ranger Slingers. She is voiced by Rica Matsumoto (松本 梨香, Matsumoto Rika).
  • Dora Ninja (ドーラニンジャ, Dōra Ninja, 35, 49 & 50) is a ninja Dora Monster sent to capture the Elixir of Immortality, rumored to give extended life. He is armed with ninja-like weapons, including a kusarigama, a katana sword, and a cannon concealed in his left arm. He was killed by Daizyuzin with help from King Brachion. Dora Ninja, along with Dora Gansaku, Dora Chimaera and Dora Mirage were revived as ghosts in Bandora's Magic Realm, when the Zyurangers went to rescue their Guardian Beasts. He was killed along with Dora Chimaera by Goushi when he threw his axe at them. He is voiced by Kazunori Arai (新井 一典, Arai Kazunori).
  • Dora Ganrock (ドーラガンロック, Dōra Ganrokku, 36) is a rock golem Dora Monster that could shoot rocks out from his stomach, called the Ganrock Cannon. Whoever they hit, it weighed them down so much that they could not move. Dora Ganrock was destroyed by looking into the Mirror of Death. He is voiced by Toku Nishio.
  • Dora Kinkaku (ドーラ金角, Dōra Kinkaku, 37) is a bearded demonic samurai Dora Monster armed with a large fan that he could use to blow people away, and a magic jar that could suck people inside, and trap them. He also used a pole as a weapon, as well as a rake. Kinkaku could also use the spikes on the side of his headgear as exploding darts. He was the first Dora Monster to be killed by Ultimate Daizyuzin. He is voiced by Shōzō Iizuka (飯塚 昭三, Iizuka Shōzō).
  • Dora Silkis (ドーラシルキス, Dōra Shirukisu, 38) is a silkworm-like creature, and was the pet of Lamie's, and fed on children's souls. It managed to trap the core male Zyurangers in a cocoon. It would later assume its full size, when Mei interfered one too many times. It was then enlarged, and soon after it was killed by Zyutei Daizyuzin. He is voiced by Kazuhiko Kishino.
  • Dora Gansaku (ドーラガンサク, Dōra Gansaku, 40-42, 49 & 50) is a cyclops Dora Monster that took on the forms of the Guardian Beasts. He could project energy beams from his eye. He first posed as Dragon Caesar, to lure Dragon Ranger out of hiding. Though he retreated, once the real Dragon Caesar appeared, Bandora succeeded in finding the location of the Lapseless Room and destroyed it. Dora Gansaku was later launched to attack as Gouryuzin. Burai called for Dragon Caesar, but despite defeating Dora Gansaku, as it posed as Daizyuzin, Gouryuzin again, and Tyrannosaurus, Dragon Caesar and Burai were on the verge of defeat. The other Zyurangers soon arrived and used the Ultimate Daizyuzin to finally kill it seconds before Burai's time ran out, and also saved the life of a boy named Kota. Dora Gansaku, along with Dora Ninja, Dora Chimaera and Dora Mirage were revivied as ghosts in Bandora's Magic Realm, when the Zyurangers went to rescue their Guardian Beasts. He died when he was thrown off a cliff along with Dora Mirage by Goushi. He is voiced by Rintaro Torii (鳥井 林太朗, Torii Rintarō).
  • Dora Antaeus (ドーラアンタイオス, Dōra Antaiosu, 43) is a giant bird/dinosaur/mountain monster that absorbs the power from an enemy's attack and converting it into energy for his own use, causing him to be revived into a stronger form every time it was destroyed. This monster came along during a time when both Geki and Dragon Caesar were still suffering over the loss of Burai. Knowing this, Bandora took advantage of this and cast a spell that bound Dragon Caesar's arms to his sides. It also caused Dragon Caesar to hardly move, let alone fight, and became weaker and weaker. Daizyuzin had a tough time handling Dora Antaeus until Geki jumped inside and found the monster's heart. Geki summoned the Dragon Armor, revitalizing Dragon Caesar, causing him to overcome Bandora's magic, as he realized the others needed his help. Dragon Caesar used his tail to drill a hole into Dora Antaeus' chest, enabling Geki to escape with the monster's heart flying out, too. After Geki obliterated the heart, he and the others formed Ultimate Daizyuzin to finally finish off Dora Antaeus for good. He is voiced by Kan Tokumaru.

When he was challenged by the other four, Dora Chimaera easily overpowered them, beating them soundly before enveloping them in an energy cyclone
    , with the intent of adding to his collection. Goushi arrived and assaulted Dora Chimaera with extreme prejudice, freeing everyone he consumed. Dora Chimaera was enlarged as a snowstorm occurred and was killed by Daizyuzin. Dora Chimaera, along with Dora Ninja, Dora Gansaku, and Dora Mirage were revived as ghosts in Bandora's Magic Realm when the Zyurangers went to rescue their Guardian Beasts.

  • Dora Unicorn (ドーラユニコーン, Dōra Yunikōn, 45) is a winged alicorn Dora Monster with dragon-like hands and feet, who took advantage of an environmentalist boy named Kouichi so that any attack inflicted on Dora Unicorn was felt by Kouichi via the monster's horn. Kouichi managed to undo the synchronization with the memories of his father, as Geki succeeded in destroying the horn, putting the monster at a disadvantage. He could also flap his wings and create powerful gusts of air, which he tried to use to blow the Zyurangers and Daizyuzin away. It was killed by Daizyuzin while riding on King Brachion, then leaping into the air to finish it off with the God Horn. He is voiced by Atsuo Mori.

  • Bomono Tribe (10): The Bomono are a tribe of children who live on Dalos Island and like to cause trouble.
  • Black Knight (黒騎士, Kurokishi, 18 (flashback)): He is Burai and Geki's biological father. A warrior who rebelled against the Yamato King, he was forced to give Geki up for adoption as punishment for his insubordination against the King. The Black Knight used this as an opportunity to challenge the King in order to reclaim Geki only to be defeated. Before dying, he told Burai to avenge his death.
  • Goda (ゴダ, Goda, 39): Goda is an piscine humanoid-resembling underground monster who was powerful, but had a gentle heart, having saved a boy named Ippei Hirata. Goda rarely laid eggs, so she was extremely protective of her line to the point of attacking any potential threat. Goda lost her temper when two of her three eggs were devoured by Bandora's Gang, who blamed the Zyurangers. The Zyurangers tried to help Goda by telling her that they had nothing to do with the eggs, but Goda was too enraged and distraught to listen. After Goda ran off, Bandora toyed with Goda's emotions by saying she would restore her eggs if she destroyed the Zyurangers for her. She agreed, selling her soul to Bandora and being filled with a hatred of humans as she enlarged. Despite their pleas, Goda was too filled with hate and had to be killed by Gouryuzin. The last egg would hatch eventually with a new Goda to be born.
