History[]
Early Life[]
- "His parents weren't really around, didn't seem like anybody cared about him. He wasn't a bad guy though."
- ―Dominic talking about Jarrod[src]
Dominic used to be a Pai Zhuq student, on the academy he became friends with Robert "RJ" James and was the roommate of Jarrod. Being one of the best students, Dominic was almost chosen to be a protector by Master Mao but, due to his "curious streak", he wanted to see and do everything, so Master Mao sent him out to find his path in life.
Jungle Fury[]
After six years, Dominic returns to Ocean Bluff and catches up with RJ only to be dismayed to learn that Jarrod has fallen to Dai Shi. The Jungle Fury Rangers are put off by his goofball and silly personality, but he shows himself to be formidable when he intervenes in the fight between the Rangers and Crocovile as the latter is overwhelming the Rangers. RJ then produces a bracelet which turns into the Rhino Morpher as Dominic's Rhino Spirit makes him extremely powerful. Harnessing his Rhino Spirit, he morphs into the Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger who easily overwhelms and destroys Crocovile at which point he joins the Jungle Fury Rangers. After this, he joins Jungle Karma Pizza although he works as their deliveryman instead of being in the kitchen. 
TV STORY-Path of the Rhino
Despite joining the team, Dominic is initially rejected by the Jungle Fury Rangers because the Rangers don't think he is serious enough to become a Ranger, due to Dominic playing a friendly prank on the Rangers earlier. When he saves Fran using the refined techniques he developed in his travels however, he gains their trust. TV STORY-Dash for the Dagger
During an intense battle between the Dai Shi Clan, the Overlords and the Jungle Fury Rangers, Dominic is able to steal back the Control Dagger and take control over the Rhino Steel Zord. With it, he is able to swiftly destroy a gigantic Carnisoar after he defeats the other Rangers. TV STORY-Race to the Nexus

Etymology[]
- Dominic: Dominic comes from the Latin, Dominicus, meaning "of the Lord," or “belonging to God.” evoking a character with a sacred purpose or spiritual destiny—someone chosen or guided by higher forces.
- Hargan: Hargan likely traces back to Irish or Scottish origins, possibly derived from Ó hArgáin, meaning "descendant of Argán," with Argán interpreted as "little silver" or "bright warrior. His name evokes the image of a guardian chosen by ancient power: humble, fierce, and destined to charge forward like the mighty rhino he embodies.

Notes[]
- Dom's "Rhino Technique" is based on Karate, putting a strong emphasis on open-handed chopping and slashing.
- He is the only Jungle Fury Ranger with a belt.
- He is the only Ranger of the main five to not be a master by the end of the series.
- Unlike the others, his animal spirit wasn't already connected to him. He had to earn it by using the Rhino Dagger.
- His animal spirit is already the size of a full Zord. This is justified, however, since he wasn't around when the other Rangers learned to enlarge their Zords.
