Biography
Desperaino was one of Nighloks. Desperaino could fly, using the special folding umbrella on his head. He also wielded a spear, which could fire flame blasts. But his main ability was to summon the special clouds above heads of his victims, which put people into despair. In the tenth episode Desperaino attacked Panorama City and started terrorising people by summoning his clouds and placing people into despair to increase the level of Sanzu River. When Power Rangers arrived, Desperaino battled them. Samurai Rangers couldn't defeat him, because Mike carelessly tried to use Beetle Disc and ruined team attack on the villain. Then Desperaino left. He returned to the junk of Master Xandred and planned to get praise of his master by terrorizing the people and increasing the level of Sanzu River. He annoyed Octoroo by wetting his book and Dayu by wetting her musical instrument. Then he attavked city again and again encountered Rangers. He again successfully battled heroes, but Mike used his spear as staff for leaping and jumped to Desperaino and then striked Nighlok with spinning sword, destroying him. He was resurrected as a mega-monster and again fought the rangers, but he was then destroyed by the Samurai Battlewing.
