Autochthon ('Aw-Tock-thon') is an ancient silkworm-themed evil spirit (who was also known as Top Gun) that was accidentally awakened by Tommy Oliver's brother David Trueheart. He serves as the primary antagonist of the episode "Brother, Can You Spare an Arrowhead?" the second part of the two-part episode.
History
Autocthon was an evil spirit that was sealed by a warrior 1,000 years ago. He awoke in early 1996 and does battle with Tommy Oliver's older brother, thinking he was the one who woke him up. Both he and the monster are teleported by King Mondo, and as the Zeo Rangers appear, and so does an army of Cogs. Though a bit confused by the situation, Autochthon offered to help the Cogs, thus aligning himself with the Machine Empire, and both forces easily overpowered the monster. The Rangers then teleported away. He later appeared on the beach before doing battle with the Zeo Rangers. He had the upper hand at first, but thanks to Tanya Sloan using her spin strike via her Zeo II Power Clubs, the Rangers were able to take him out with the Zeo Power Kick. Klank and Orbus were able to enlarge him so the Rangers formed the Zeo Megazord to take him on. Autocthon originally overpowered the Zeo Megazord by firing silk-like strings to tie it up and electrocute it. However, Tommy summons the Red Battlezord to fight back Autochthon, knocking him back with a crippling blast of energy from its piston arms, and free the Zeo Megazord. Knowing that they need more firepower, with Autochthon shrugging off the Zeo II Battle Helmet energy blasts, they combined the Zeo Megazord and the Zeo Battlezord to form the Zeo Mega Battlezord, destroying Autochthon the monster once and for all.
Personality
Not much is known about Autochthon, but he is shown to be an extremely aggressive monster that will destroy anyone in his path. Despite this, he did help out the Cogs during the battle with the Zeo Rangers.
