Desperaino is a despair/rain/umbrella themed Nighlok who possesses the ability to open a rain cloud above his victims' heads, causing them to encounter the most terrible misery of all: the loss of hope. He serves as the main antagonist of the episode "Forest for the Trees".

History[]

Desperaino was one of the Nighloks. He could fly using the special folding umbrella on his head. He also wielded a spear, which could fire lasers. But his main ability was to summon a special cloud above the heads of his victims, which puts them into despair.

In the tenth episode, Desperaino attacked Panorama City and started terrorizing people by summoning his clouds and placing people into despair to increase the level of the Sanzu River. When the Power Rangers arrived, Desperaino battled them and they couldn't defeat him, because Mike carelessly tried to use Beetle Disc and ruined the team's attack on the villain. Then, Desperaino left.

He returned to the junk of Master Xandred and planned to get praised by his master by terrorizing the people and increasing the level of the Sanzu River. He annoyed Octoroo by wetting his book and Dayu by wetting her musical instrument.

Then, he attacked the city again and again encountered the Rangers. He again successfully battled the heroes, but Mike used his spear as a staff for leaping and jumped to Desperaino before striking the Nighlok with the Spin Sword, destroying him.

He was resurrected as a Mega-Monster and again fought the Rangers only to be destroyed by the Samurai Battlewing. TV STORY-Forest for the Trees

Desperaino later attended a Halloween party at the Nighlok Heaven where he recounts his battles with the Samurai Rangers. TV STORY-Party Monsters
