"Welcome."
―Dora Cockatrice 1 (disguise as a waiter)

The Dora Cockatrice (ドーラコカトリス, Dōra Kokatorisu) was the cockatrice-themed Dora Monster from the Bandora Gang.

History[]

The 1st Dora Cockatrice is created to hunt down Apelo Tribe Prince Euro who is the caretaker of the last pair of Dinosaur Eggs entrusted to his tribe by God. Seeking the Zyurangers, Euro and his allies Baron Clockle and Daisy accidentally teleport their modified Volkswagon Beetle in the middle of the home of Emiko and her mother. The home is then attacked by Dora Cockatrice and an army of Golem Soldiers who are opposed by the sudden intervention of the Zyurangers. Unfortunately, during the course of the battle, both Euro and Emiko are kidnapped by Cockatrice. Bandora then uses Emiko as a bargaining chip to force Euro to reveal the location of the egg, intent on destroying them. When they attempted to flee, dora Cockatrice captures them by disguising himself as a waiter With Dora Cockatrice threatening Emiko's life, Euro gave up the location. When Bandora tried to renege on her promise to let Emiko free, she is saved by the Zyurangers who arrive in Daizyuzin. Whilst the heroes battle Dora Cockatrice, Bandora flees to recover the eggs with Euro and his allies hot on her trail. In the meantime, Daizyuzin slays Dora Cockatrice with the Super-Legendary Lightning Cut. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 9: Run! Prince of The Eggs

Traveling to Dalos Island to recover the eggs, Bandora discovers that there is a mystical barrier preventing her from obtaining the eggs. As the Zyurangers and their allies arrive on the island they learn that if the dinosaur eggs hatch in the cave the hatchlings will die. By this time, Bandora has Pleprechuan create a new version of Dora Cockatrice, dubbed Dora Cockatrice 2. Disguising itself as Emiko, Dora Cockatrice tricks Euro into lowering the mystical barrier, allowing Bandora's minions to steal the eggs. In the ensuing battle, Dora Cockatrice 2 grows in size and is slain by Daizyuzin. Although the Zyurangers thwarted Bandora from destroying the eggs they end up lost at sea. Despite this loss, the heroes petition the Gods to lift their curse from the people of Dalos Island. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 10: Monkeys No More!

  • Dora Cockatrice followed the naming convention of all his Dora Monster brethren, named after his master, Bandora, and adding the final syllable of her name to a monster of classical mythology, in his case a Cockatrice.
