Dischordia was a diva monster who served as the main antagonist of the episode "The Sound of Dischordia." She was the final monster to be fought by the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
History
Dischordia is a hypnotic diva monster in the service of Master Vile and an old friend of Lord Zedd.
Dischordia is amongst the monsters that attend Master Vile's End of the World Party to celebrate his capture of the Ninjazords, Shogunzords, and White Ninja Falconzord. After the Rangers reclaim their Zords and the Zeo Crystal however, Master Vile disbands the party to launch an attack by the Blue Globbor and Dischordia leaves. TV STORY-Master Vile and the Metallic Armor
Dischordia is sent by her Master Vile to attack the Power Rangers, and ambushes Katherine and Aisha in front of Aisha's house, making them dance uncontrollably with her singing. When the other Rangers arrive, she exhausts the Rangers with dancing and then tries to have Tommy give her his Power Coin and the Falconzord. She nearly succeeds, but Alpha tells the Rangers to activate their Metallic Armor, which gives them protection from her mind control. Rita and Zedd enlarge Dischordia, so the Rangers summon the Shogun Megazord whilst using the Falconzord Remote to form the Ninja MegaFalconzord. Although Ninjor also arrives to help, every blow dealt has no effect since Dischordia keeps healing herself with lightning and blast them down, disengaging the Ninja MegaFalconzord completely. When Tommy enters the White Ninja Falconzord however, the Megazords and Ninjor recover as the Command Center dispels the storm clouds and render Dischordia vulnerable. The Megazords punch Dischordia back before Ninjor turns into Ninjor Battle Mode and blasts the monster with a fireball. As Dischordia recovers, the Rangers form the Shogun MegaFalconzord which bombards Dischordia, but as she survives they summon Titanus and form the Shogun Ultrazord. The Ultrazord proceeds to destroy her with one barrage. TV STORY-The Sound of Dischordia
Both forms of Dischordia were seen as part of the audience of the Machine Arena. Dischordia is later amongst the five monsters summoned by Gasket to fight the Zeo Rangers. She was also among the monsters summoned in to the arena by Prince Gasket as part of an audience participation against the Rangers. TV STORY-King for a Day
