Dango Bōma [Citation needed]from 16 April 2023 (UTC), or Bohma[1] (ダンゴボーマ Dango Bōma, 4) was a pillbug-themed member at the service of the Hundred Boma Tribes. He serves as the primary antagonist of the Turboranger episode Ep. 4: The Rumbling Human Dango!.
History[]
Awakened from a seal beneath a city street, Dango Boma returned in order to feed his master Lagorn his favorite treat, human dango, as he had 20,000 years in the past. The monster attacked Tokyo and started rolling up humans into the dango dumplings, the Turborangers arrived and tried to stop him but it was made more difficult with several "Wular Dango" rolling about keeping them busy. It was made further troublesome when both their teacher Ms. Yamaguchi and Dr. Dazai become captured within a dango created for the feast. The Turboranger fight Dango Boma, with Red Turbo using his special pitching skills (enhanced by fairy magic) to wear down the Boma Beast before the team stop him with their Plasma Shoot.
While most of the dango balls fall apart back to the original humans after his first destruction, the ball with Ms. Yamaguchi and Dr. Dazai remained stuck together due to rolling away before Dango Boma's destruction. This was made worse with Jarmin using her power to grow Dango Boma and the missing human ball falling towards train tracks to be run over with the potential of killing those trapped within if the giant isn't stopped. Quickly forming Turbo Robo, the Turborangers make quick work of Dango Boma, with their Turbo Crash killing it and allowing the last dango ball to fall apart before the train hits it and making their teacher and mentor safe.

This Boma Beast possessed a humorous, cunning and comedic personality, while most of his traits retained the typical tradition of Sentai monsters. Similarly to his predecessors and sucessors, he enjoyed toying around with his enemies, but was also a gluttonous and hungry monster. He was totally and completely loyal to his master Lagorn and would do anything in his powers to satisfy his master's hunger. He also had a typical contempt towards humanity, being sadistic and humiliating towards the human race, such as his plan, when he tried to eat the whole population of Tokyo, by transforming the citizens into Human Dango.
