Personality
Badussa was a sadistic outlaw who enjoyed the thought of destroying the Power Rangers and openly bragged about destroying galaxies in the past. His ruthless demeanor was said to be equal to that of Lord Arcanon's by Heckyl though the outlaw was one of the calmer individuals.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Power-Out of all Outlaws, Badussa was the most powerful. He was shown to be able to swiftly take out seven out of the ten Dino Charge Rangers with ease.

Weaknesses

Arsenal
- Medusa Sword: Badussa carried a very large demonic sword in battle.
- Energy Empowerment: Badussa could charge up his sword with blue energy and slash at the enemy at full force.
- Badussa Beast Bite: Badussa's signature attack where he charged up his sword with purple flames and slashed at full force to launch an energy construct in the form of a chomping mouth similar to the one at the tip of his sword at the enemy. How much damage this attack actually did is completely unknown because Tyler blocked it.
- Medusa Amulet: Badussa carried a magic amulet that could fire a yellow colored laser into a target's eyes to turn them into a complete stone statue, but only if they looked in its eyes first.

Design

Etymology
- His name was a pun on Medusa, the Greek gorgon capable of turning people to stone if they looked into her eyes.
Notes
- Badussa was an odd monster as, unlike most other monsters previously, he survived his defeat as a giant and had to be defeated a second time at human size.
- This was changed from Kyoryuger where he was killed in the usual fashion. This was changed because Ferocious Knight D's original Sentai death was very anticlimactic and to show off the combined ten Ranger teamwork.
- Prior to "The Rangers Rock!," it was originally believed that Badussa was the name of the alien destroyed by Heckyl.
- Badussa appeared in the most amount of episodes out of all the Outlaws, appearing in 13.
