- "Oh no!"
- ―Blothgaar reacting to the Super DriveMax Megazord and his final words before his destruction.[src]
Blothgaar was a Chinese Dragon monster that was the main antagonist of the episode "Out of Luck".
History[]
This long-necked red Chinese Dragon creature is an old friend of Moltor and the keeper of the ancient compass that Moltor stole in the previous episode. Summoning his friend, Moltor gives him the compass and tells him to destroy the Overdrive Rangers by giving them ridiculously bad luck.
Blothgaar attacks San Angeles and encounters the Rangers, using the power of the compass to aid him in battle. He then uses it to alter the Chi and Li of Mack and induce bad luck on him, causing him to start suffering from those very effects after Blothgaar retreats.
Later, the Rangers (including Mack who is draped in the several good-luck charms his fellow Rangers give him) confront Blothgaar again as well as Moltor and an army of Lava Lizards with the monster having opened up a crevice to gain even more power. After Blothgaar laughed at Mack wearing the good luck charms, the latter uses them to help him out against Blothgaar and is able to retrieve the compass. He then puts down Blothgaar with his Drive Lance and Rose Ortiz uses the compass to reverse Mack's luck to normal.
However, Moltor throws Blothgaar into the crevice which allows him to absorb its energy energy and grow, making the Rangers call on the DriveMax and Flash Point Megazords. In battle, the Rangers use the compass combined with the DriveMax Megazord Saber to bestow the bad luck upon Blothgaar who then stumbles on a rock. They instantly form the Super DriveMax Megazord off-screen, horrifying Blothgaar who they then obliterate with the Drill Driver.
Personality[]
Unlike previous monster in Operation Overdrive, Blothgaar's personality was more prankster-like and proved to be very cunning and devious monster as he cursed Mack using the compass. He was also a very good friend of Moltor as well as his only true ally.

Notes[]
- Blothgaar bore similarities to Serpentera from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Season 2).
- The reason for this was because Blothgaar's Boukenger counterpart, as with each primary antagonist and each individual monster of the week was visually designed as an homage to the various robots and other mecha piloted by the protagonists of the 29 previous Super Sentai Series (except for J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai), as Boukenger was the 30th anniversary series. Talong's look was based on the Serpentera's counterpart, the Daijinryuu of Gosei Sentai Dairanger.
