Personality

Enlarging: Badussa can be enlarged by Sledge's Magna Beam.

- Stone Conversion-Badussa's amulet can fire a yellow colored laser into a target's eyes, but only if someone looks in its own eyes first. If successful, the victim will be turned to stone; however, the amulet's destruction lifts the spell.

Notes

Badussa is an odd kind of monster, as unlike most other monsters previously (with the exception of Doomwing), he survived his defeat as a giant and had to be defeated a second time at human size.
Badussa's name comes from Medusa, a well-known Gorgon in Greek mythology - this fits, as Badussa is themed after the mythical Gorgon.
Badussa boasts twice about destroying the Kyoryuger Galaxy, which is named after the Super Sentai season that Dino Charge and Dino Super Charge are adapted from - Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.
Badussa is similar to Clawbster, a cockatrice-like monster from Power Rangers Mystic Force.
- Both monsters are themed after a mythological creature (Clawbster: Cockatrice, Badussa: Gorgon).
- Both monsters can fire an energy laser that can turn anyone into stone.
Badussa is the first monster to be faced by the Spino Zord, as well as the Spino Charge Megazord.
Prior to The Rangers Rock!, it was originally believed that Badussa was the name of the Cloaked Alien destroyed by Heckyl.
He appears in the most amount of episodes out of all the Outlaws, appearing in 13.
He is the second villain to be adapted from a Sentai Summer Movie, after General Gut. However, none of that movie footage was adapted, instead it was the regular episode where his counterpart got resurrected.
Badussa is the final monster of Sledge's Outlaws to appear in the episode in Dino Super Charge.
