Other Rangers and Ranger-like Allies

Encyclopedia : O : OT : OTH : Other Rangers and Ranger-like Allies

"Other Ranger" is an unofficial designation for several characters in the Power Rangers TV series. It is a term for a Ranger that does not fit into the usual color classifications of red, blue, yellow, black, pink, green, or white. These Rangers are often introduced later in the series, and sometimes are evil before joining the team. It is also common for Other Rangers to have slightly different costumes from their comrades, such as the addition of a shield over their torso or a slightly altered visor. All Other Rangers usually have their own Zord, a separate type from those of the five main Rangers, that can combine with the other Zords for increased power and/or transform into a single zord Megazord. The term "Sixth Ranger" can also be used to refer to "Other Rangers" (prior to , as there were additional Rangers past the sixth), as they are often an additional sixth member to the core team of five. However, many "Sixth Rangers" can be organized into the color classification schemes (such as the Green and the White Power Rangers from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). Many of the "Other Rangers" have had the capability to best the enemies' best generals during battle. Such situations include Zhane and Ecliptor, the Magna Defender and Treacheron, Mike and Villamax/Deviot/Barbarax, and Daggeron and Koragg.

Ranger-like Allies are characters that have allied themselves with the Power Rangers and have powers similar to that of the Power Rangers, but have not been specifically determined to be Power Rangers themselves. Characters such as Ninjor, the Blue Senturion, and the original Magna Defender fall into this category. Ranger-like Allies often have Zords, or have the ability to transform into a larger Zord-like form.

List of Ranger-like Allies

Ninjor was a ninja-like sage who assisted the Power Rangers in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. He is the creator of the original Power Coins, the Ninja Power Coins, the Ninjazords, and the Aquitian Rangers' Battle Borgs. He had the ability to grow to the size of the Megazords dubbed Ninjor Expansion Mode, and could also transform into a Battle Mode where he looked more like a samurai than a ninja.

* Weapon: Katana with sheath

Auric the Conqueror was an ancient Tiki that had laid dormant on Misterio Island until he was unlocked and assisted the Power Rangers in . Tanya Sloan's parents found the tiki and sent it to their daughter. He was originally unlocked by Louie Kaboom, and was evil until the Zeo Rangers set him straight. He is usually seen as a small tiki idol with a keyhole in his face. When the Golden Key of Auric is inserted, he can transform into either a human- or Megazord-sized warrior. Auric prefers to talk situations through before resorting to violence, and has been known to revert to his statuette form whenever he got scared. When Jason Lee Scott became the Gold Ranger, Tanya chose him to be the keeper of Auric and his key. Presumably, when Jason passed on his position as the Gold Ranger back to Trey of Triforia, he, too, was made to be the keeper of Auric. Auric also likes to narrate his own victories.
* Appearance: Primarily blue robotic warrior with red, gold, and silver accents. His "cape" was actually the outer shell of his tiki form.
* Weapon: Sword

The Blue Senturion is an intergalactic robotic police officer who aided the Rangers in .

The original Magna Defender was more of a Ranger-like ally than a Power Ranger, but his successor, Mike Corbett, was more like a Power Ranger by having a Morphing device.

As his final gift, he gave Mike Corbett the Magna Defender powers.

In this case, he may be considered an "Other Ranger" alongside the Solaris Knight. His name in Mystic Force as a hero is currently unknown, but has been theorized to be Knight Wolf Fury, Crimson Knight Wolf, or Crimson Wolf Knight.

Notes

Fandom tends to classify these Power Rangers inside the more common color designations: for example, the Quantum, Crimson, and Triassic Rangers are often included among the Red Rangers; the Navy Ranger is included as a Blue Ranger; the S.P.D. Shadow Ranger, Phantom Ranger, Magna Defender, and both Gold Zeo Rangers are considered Black Rangers; the Omega Ranger is considered to be a White Ranger; the Silver and Lunar Wolf Rangers are both Silver Rangers, and the Operation Overdrive Power Ranger based off of BoukenSilver will be, as well; Titanium and Nova are considered Gray Rangers, despite gray not being an actual designation used in the series.
* The Quantum Ranger is the only "Other Ranger" that made an appearance in the Power Rangers: Wild Force episode "Forever Red" which featured all of the Red Rangers as of Wild Force. This is due to the fact that he was the only sixth Power Ranger team member whose suit was the same color as a Ranger in the core group of five.
* Kat Ranger and Solaris Knight would perhaps be the exceptions. Kat Ranger's suit was white and orange, Solaris Knight's suit was a dark purple/indigo with metallic gold armor, neither lending themselves to an easy classification. Solaris Knight will most likely be considered a Gold Ranger, because his uniform is mostly gold, even if it is armor. The Kat Ranger will be considered the first Orange Ranger if another one turns up in a future series.
** The Kat Ranger's counterpart in the Japanese Dekaranger, DekaSwan, was not the first person in Super Sentai to wear orange. That designation goes to Battle Cossack from Battle Fever J.

The position of Magna Defender as a Power Ranger or Ranger-like ally is still a matter of discussion, since he lacked some features of a standard Ranger (mainly the name "Ranger"), but filled the 6th warrior position and even had his own Megazord. A similar situation exists with the Solaris Knight, but his status as a Power Ranger is clearer. With the Solaris Knight's status as a Power Ranger, the Magna Defender can also be designated as a Power Ranger in his own right.

Before S.P.D., every "Other Ranger" had been male. Additionally, there has never been an African-American Other Ranger.

Although Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers didn't feature a special hero/Ranger, its counterpart, Ninja Sentai Kakuranger filled it with NinjaMan, the Japanese counterpart of Ninjor. This would be turned back in , which featured the Titanium Ranger when Kyukyu Sentai GoGo-V didn't feature a 6th warrior; although the Demon Hunter (first Jiku, followed by Kyoko) from the GoGo-V Movie is considered to be the series 6th member despite only appearing in the movie.

Boom may have appeared as the S.P.D. Orange Ranger, but this was solely in his dreams and in a shoddy homemade suit in order to impress his parents.
