"Monarch of the Deep Forest! ZyuohElephant!"

- ZyuohElephant's roll call

Tusk (タスク) is Zyuoh Elephant (ジュウオウエレファント), the Green Ranger of the Zyuohgers.

Life in Zyuland
Tusk's father was a guardian of the Link Cube before him, and the young Tusk would stand alongside him in keeping watch over the Link Cube.

As a child, Tusk grew a love for reading books thanks to his father, who would read stories to the young Tusk.

Along with Sela, Leo, and Amu, Tusk was assigned as a guardian to the Link Cube, which had been left dormant following the taking of one of the six King's Credentials. As such, Tusk was entrusted with one of the King's Credentials.

The human world and Zyuohger
Ultimately, the whereabouts of the lost King's Credential was realized when a young man named Yamato Kazakiri accidentally entered Zyuland. Introducing him to their world, the guardians discovered the King's Credential on his person and initially believed him to be a thief only to be interrupted by a disturbance in the Link Cube. Forced to pursue Yamato when he escaped through Link Cube, the four Zyumen found human world under attacked by the Deathgalien whose team leader, Jagged, subsequently crippled the Link Cube, leaving the Zyumen stranded in the human world. Opposing the Deathgalien, the Zyumen were granted the power to transform into the Zyuohgers when their King's Credentials became the Zyuoh Changers, with Tusk becoming Zyuoh Elephant. Dispatching the Moeba grunts, the Zyuohgers were outmatched by Jagged until Yamato's was able to transform his King's Credential as well, allowing him to become Zyuoh Eagle much to the surprise of the Zyumen, who believed that humans couldn't use their power. When Jagged was enlarged by Nalia, the Zyuohgers were guided by the Zyuoh Changers into accessing the Zyuoh Cubes, allowing them each to fight their enlarged opponent and the Deathgalien's Triangular fighter craft. Signaled by their changers to combine the Zyuoh Cubes, the Zyuohgers formed the three-piece Doubutsu Gattai ZyuohKing for the first time with Tusk and Amu missing the "first come first serve" as Sela and Leo joined Yamato in combining. After Jagged was defeated, Tusk declined Yamato offer's to the stranded Zyumen of a place to live under his protection, refusing to be in his debt as opposed to the others who happily accepted. Stating that their priority was finding the missing King's Credential, Tusk briefly argued with the others before walking off, confiscating Yamato's Zyuoh Changer as he believed that only Zyumen had the right to use them.

Spending the night at the site of the Link Cube, Tusk fell asleep. That morning he woke to find Yamato who had came to help him having up a camp of food, revealing that it was a pay-back for the Bird Man who gave him the King's Credential as a child. Offering Tusk an apple, Yamato told him that after that he strived to help the people he was connected with, and that they were now connected. Suddenly, they were interrupted by the Player Halbergoi's attack which Tusk sensed from a distance, with Yamato immediately setting off while Tusk was left conflicted. Ultimately, Yamato's words resonated with Tusk and he decided to join his fellow Zyumen and Yamato, who he returned the Zyuoh Changer for him to "borrow", against Halbergoi. Transforming, the Zyuohgers soon enough defeated Halbergoi, with Tusk and Amu joining Yamato in forming ZyuohKing's 1*5*4 combination while Sela and Leo were the ones who missed the first come first serve. Following this, Tusk begrudgingly joined the other Zyumen in taking residence with Yamato and his uncle. United, the Zyuohgers proceeded to make it their mission to find the missing King's Credential.

Sometime following their formation, the five Zyuohgers fought and defeated the Kuliner Yokai Wanyūdō while the Ninningers and ToQgers joined forces against the Kibaoni Army Corps and the Evil Army Shadow Line.

Searching for several days to no avail, the Zyuohgers were eventually interrupted by the appearance of a new Deathgalien Player, Bowguns, who was wreaking havoc on the motorway as he hunted human vehicles. Tusk, along with Leo and Sela, was the first to confront him, but the trio were outmatched by the quick marksmanship of Bowguns who soon escaped. Catching up with Yamato and Amu, the Zyuohgers engaged in a rematch against Bowguns but were still in a pinch against his speed until Yamato was able to oppose him using his newfound eagle sight. Working together in their Zyuoh Cubes, the five Zyuohgers were able to elude the enlarged Bowguns attempts to bury them by switching the initial ZyuohKing 1*2*3 for 1*5*4 before finally destroying him with the Cube Kirin which transformed from a cube Yamato found earlier, with the Zyuohgers realizing that there were Zyuoh Cubes hidden in the human world waiting for them. Back home, while Amu was enthraled by the vacuum cleaner she discovered, Yamato announced to Tusk and the others that from now on they would also be helping to keep the place tidy much to their dismay.

When Sela and Leo were captured and forced to fight in the Battle Show organized by Team Cubaru's Amigard, Tusk was forced, much to his discomfort, to smell a pair of socks with his elephant nose in order to trace them, ultimately choosing Leo's. Catching up with them just in time, Tusk, Yamato and Amu interrupted their fight at the last minute and backed them up in defeating Amigard.

Meeting Larry
Continuing their search for the missing King's Credential, the Zyuohgers were interrupted by an attacking fleet of Triangulars led by Team Azarudo's Gaburio. Proceeding to their Zyuoh Cubes, the Zyuohgers were able to quickly destroy the fleet and took pursuit of the Player who fell to Earth. However, while searching for the Deathgalien to no avail, they were instead delightfully surprised to discover another Zyuman, a gorilla named Larry, learning that he was a researcher who traveled from Zyuland to research humans a while ago only to end up stranded when he found the Link Cube missing the King's Credential, since then making a home in the forest. The four Zyumans and Larry were mutually overjoyed to find each other. However, they soon discovered that Larry had developed a fear for humans having reacted with dread when he learnt that Yamato was human, explaining that his initial attempt to interact with humans was met with fear and violence. To rectify this, Tusk and the others took to helping out Larry while Yamato covertly joined in, only for Larry to run in fear each time after finding Yamato until he ultimately reacted with violence against him and angrily told all five to leave, refusing to to have anything to do with the Zyumans if they had a human in their company. Later on, sensing the Deathgalien's return, Tusk and the others were met by the Team Leader Azarudo who they found to be an especially intimidating opponent with Yamato catching up to back-up his friends though Azarudo proved to be more than a match for all five Zyuohgers, blasting back the four Zyumans before beating Yamato to near-death. It was at this moment when Larry, seeing Yamato's resolve in protecting his Zyuman friends resonate with his words earlier, acted to save his life by transfering his Zyuman Power to him through his Zyuoh Changer which, much to the awe of the Zyumans, granted him access to the form of Zyuoh Gorilla, allowing him to turn the tide and destroy Azarudo single-handed. Following this, Tusk and the others regrouped with Yamato when it was realized by the five that Larry had disappeared.

Finding Larry's home abandoned, the Zyuohgers discovered the Player who they met earlier, Gaburio, attempting to eat the city, as well as learning that Azarudo reconstructed himself after his defeat by Zyuoh Gorilla. After Gaburio escaped, the Zyuohgers found Larry had been rapidly aged as a result of giving Yamato his Zyuman Power. Yamato leaving in despair, the Zyumans explained and discussed his encounter with the Bird Man with Larry before being alerted to Gaburio again. Choosing not to alert Yamato right away so as to allow Larry to talk to him, Larry having learned that he could make friends with humans again after meeting Yamato and saving a little girl, Tusk and the others were almost eaten by Gaburio before Yamato saved his fellow Zyuohgers and led them in defeating the monster as Zyuoh Gorilla before accessing Cube Gorilla and forming ZyuohWild for the first time to defeat the enlarged monster. Following this, the Zyuohgers said goodbye to Larry, who decided to leave and see the human world firsthand, promising that he would make sure to keep an eye out for the missing King's Credential along the way.

The Two Robos
Greatly irritated to find that Amu had skipped her chores to go shopping, giving the rationale that he would do them better, Tusk went out to confront her as she continued her spree only for both to be interrupted by a Deathgalien presence as they caught up with each other. Encountering the Team Leader, Cubaru, Tusk and Amu engaged his Moebas in a brief skirmish which ended when Kubaru forced Amu out of her transformation before using a syringe device he prepared to reduce her to her basic essence which he instiled into a Moeba, leaving Tusk in a pinch as Amu became the Tiger Moeba. Attempting to reason with the now Moeba Amu, Tusk was forced to flee with an order from Cubaru to bring the others in 10 minutes or her life would be forfeit. Forced to make a decision with the others occupied elsewhere, Tusk returned alone and made one last attempt to get through to Amu only to be seemingly slain by her as the others arrived. However, it was subsequently revealed that Amu was able to control herself, having resonated with Tusk's words that he had to tell her something, giving him the signal that she was ok. With Amu's help, Tusk was able to wrest Cubaru's syringe from him, using it to restore Amu to normal before destroying it as Cubaru took his leave. Back home, Tusk revealed what he wanted to say to Amu as he vented his grievances concerning her.

Continuing their search for the missing King's Credential, Tusk and the others were interrupted by the arrival of Team Azarudo's Yabiker, who was driving people into frenzies with his Mufflerapper horn. Leo was the first to find him, warning the others to cover their ears, only for Sela to fall victim to Yabiker's Pararira Noise due to her sensitive shark hearing. With Yabiker fleeing after Leo discovered an immunity to his power, the Zyuohgers prepared noise-cancelling head-phones to protect against Yabiker. However, Tusk along with Yamato and Amu were sent into a frenzy by Yabiker, who had Nalia provide him with an improved stereo, while Sela was ironically left unaffected due to the extra protection she sported. Tusk, Yamato and Amu were soon freed when Leo overcome Yabiker's Pararira Noise Ver. 2 with his naturally loud voice and, after the Zyuohgers defeated the Player, formed ZyuohWild to get back at him. Though outmatched by Yabiker's Yoroshiku Rod, ZyuohWild was backed-up by Cubes Lion and Shark and after Yamato used Cube Eagle to form ZyuohKing, the two giant robots were able to destroy Yabiker with their combined power.

Along with the rest of the Zyuohgers, Tusk was trapped in Hanayaida's perfume induced nightmare where they endured a continual loop of fighting and defeating the Player while in reality Hanayaida kept them paralyzed as he prepared the Cannibalbulb to consume all life on Earth. Tusk in particular was most susceptible to Hanayaida's perfume due to his sensitive nose. Ultimately, the team was able to break free and defeat the real Hanayaida thanks to the new Cube Mogura.

Two months after the Zyumans were stranded in the human world, the Zyuohgers caught up with a new Deathgalien appearance where, to their surprise, they were not met by a Player, but by Naria. The Zyuohgers were subsequently addressed by a projection of the Deathgalien owner, Ginis, who presented them with his own game, having a dome installed encircling the city, threatening to erase the lifeforms within as it retracted in on itself while the Zyuohgers were left to search for a switch to shut the dome down with Ginis promising a gift for their success. Looking for the shutdown switch to no avail, Tusk, along with Sela and Leo, found the ordeal to parallel the as yet fruitless search for the King's Credential and, with their frustrations boiling other, the three argued with Yamato before being quelled by Amu who joined Yamato in continuing the search while leaving the rest to calm down. Protecting humans from the threat of the dome, Tusk and the others realized that they were all in the same boat. At that time, Yamato had found the switch with his eagle sight and informed Sela from afar that it was at the top of a tower with Leo swiping it off before Tusk caught and deactivated it, negating the dome. Uniting, the Zyuohgers affirmed that they would find the King's Credential but were interrupted by a new development as the switch transformed into Ginis' Massacre Machine Gift. Engaging Gift, the Zyuohgers soon found the machine to be an immensely outmatching opponent, with the battle taking a turn for the worst when the machine enlarged itself. Even both ZyuohKing and ZyuohWild together quickly proved to be no match against the Massacre Machine Gift who overwhelmed them with its firepower, heavily damaging the Zyuoh Cubes to the point where they were forced to seperate while the bruised Zyuohgers were ejected with their transformations negated.

Finding that Gift had powered down to recharge, Tusk and the others, discovering that Yamato was nowhere to be found, returned home to find him, passing by a mysterious stranger on the way. Bringing him inside, the Zyumans heard Yamato mention the Bird Man when he woke, claiming he was dreaming. The following day, Yamato confided in the Zyumans that he had indeed met the Bird Man in human form, revealing that he was the man they saw earlier and that he possessed the missing King's Credential. The Zyumans were given a go by Yamato to track down the Bird Man and recover the King's Credential while he rested on his injuries while keeping an eye out for Gift. Catching up with the Bird Man, the Zyumans were shocked to hear him speak of Zyuland with disdain as he revealed he took the cube those years ago to sever the link. When the Bird Man refused to hand it over, the Zyumans engaged him as he held onto it with force, matching the strength of all four single-handed. Transforming, the Zyuohgers were able to overpower the Bird Man, forcing the King's Credential out of his hand only to find that Gift had returned and was being faced by Yamato alone. Ultimately, the four chose to stand by Yamato and claim their way home later. Facing Gift with a newfound resolve, the Zyuohgers were given the signal to combine their six personal Cubes along with Kirin and Mogura into Wild ZyuohKing, which allowed them to turn the tide against Gift before destroying it with the Zyuoh Dynamic Strike. Back home, the Zyumans vowed to claim the King's Credential from the Bird Man with Yamato while noting that he would be looking after them for a while longer.

Personality
Tusk is an elephant Zyuman and the most intelligent of the four Zyumans that traveled to the Human World. Though he seems like the sensitive, unapproachable-type, he's actually extremely kind. In addition, he has a sharp sense of smell.
