Amphibitor was a red-eyed tree frog-like monster, who served as the final antagonist of the third part of the episode "Shift Into Turbo".
History
Amphibitor is first seen when Divatox rallies her monsters and Piranhatrons to attack Earth and destroy the Turbo Rangers to avenge the destruction of Maligore.
Amphibitor is later the first monster summoned by Divatox to Earth though he shows displeasure at her taking so long to select him, for assistance. Divatox sends Amphibitor with a mission; not to let Zordon leave Earth and go to Eltar by placing a special device which will close the space wormhole and block Zordon's pass.
To try to stop the Turbo Rangers from interferring, Divatox sends Elgar to Earth with a fleet of armored vehicles only to be sent packing by the Turbo Megazord.
Justin first goes to destroy the device and Amphibitor attacks him so the other Power Rangers arrive to help so Amphibitor fights them, The villain manage to hid the sun and cause an overcast and summon a swirl flow from Zordon's dimension. However the Rangers are prepared and are winning in the second fight with the monster until Porto presents some special Growth Torpedoes to Divatox who has them fired. As the Turbo Rangers fight Amphibitor, the torpedoes strike around the monster who absorbs the resulting energy to grow and change his appearance.
The Rangers summon the Turbo Megazord and perform the Turbo Megazord Spinout for the first time. A distracted Amphibitor is unable to react in time and is sliced through before exploding several times and being blown apart.
Personality
Amphibitor was an arrogant and confident monster, who took great pride in defeating the Turbo Rangers, as well as completing his mission. He was shown to be uncomfortable with not being chosen, for a task, for a long time, despite him being the first monster sent by Divatox. In addition to being loyal, he also seemed to have a big appetite, wanting to eat the Turbo Rangers.
