Dream Snatcher is a baku/tapir/worm-like Toxic Mutant who consumes human dreams and ambitions in order to feed. He is recruited by Bigs and Bluefur to deal with the Mega Rangers and is the final Toxic Mutant that the Rangers fight.
Later, with the augmentation of power provided by the Aurora Box, he goes to lay waste to Earth with the Roots of Despair, stems that grow from the body of his victims and rot the planet, with enough of them being sufficient to completely intoxicate the planet.
History[]
A dream-eating, Mexican/Spanish-accented tapir/worm-like mutant that wields a fork.
Being the test subject of the power of the Aurora Box (which can enhance a monster's skills 100 times fold) that belonged to Vrak's family, Dream Snatcher can eat the dreams of people that are awake, leaving them to grow Roots of Despair (where enough of them will be enough to rot the Earth) while trapping them in a dark dream world.
He is at first defeated by Emma and Robo Knight and then by the Gosei Great Grand Megazord's Double Strike. Upon his death, his victims' dreams and ambitions were returned to them. TV STORY-Dream Snatcher
Personality[]
Dream Snatcher is a solitary Mutant who spends his time devouring dreams and speaks with a Mexican/Spanish accent. He is at first cowardly and unwilling. After being empowered by the Aurora Box, he becomes very arrogant and confident while becoming even more obsessed with feeding. From this point on, he also becomes far more willing to actively fight and pollute Earth, and while somewhat having a comedic side aided to him, Dream Snatcher is a very nasty and sadistic monster, going so far as to eat the hopes and dreams from a little girl.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Aurora Box Empowerment: Being powered-up by the Aurora Box, Dream Snatcher has became more powerful and now possesses many abilities that can match the Rangers' skill and weaponry.
- Dream Consuming: As his name applies, Dream Snatcher can consume a sleeping person's dreams. After being empowered by the Aurora Box, he can eat people's dreams even when they're awake. Doing so will not only make that person sleep forever, but it will also make them grow Roots of Despair that will rot the Earth and trap them in his Dream World. However, the dreams will return if Dream Snatcher is destroyed.
- Dream World: Dream Snatcher has a "Dream World" located inside of his stomach. When he consumes a person's dreams, they will be trapped in there with nothing but loss and despair but if enough hope and happiness is brought back to the victim, they will be set free.
Abilities[]
- Strength: Dream Snatcher is one of the stronger monsters, being able to overpower all five Megaforce Rangers with ease.
- Stealth: Dream Snatcher was able to sneak up behind Emma to eat her dream without being seen by the other Rangers.
- Extraordinary Leaper: Dream Snatcher can leap at an incredible distance.
- Wind Blast: Dream Snatcher can fire a gust of wind from his hands to push his enemies from afar.
Weaknesses[]
- Dream Succession: If his victims can still believe in their dreams in the Dream World, it was cause Dream Snatcher a very bad stomach ache.
Arsenal[]
- Dream Stealing Fork: For weaponry when he gets empowered by the Aurora Box, Dream Snatcher possesses a fork-like dagger that he can use for combat.
- Dream Snatch: Dream Snatcher can also use his fork to steal other persons' hopes and dreams and consume them. If a person is awake while doing so, they will be put in a deep sleep and (just like before) grow Roots of Despair that will rot the Earth and trap them in his Dream World. The dreams will return if Dream Snatcher is destroyed.
- Dream Fork Barrage: Dream Snatcher can launch a barrage of forks from his fork dagger.
- Dream Cape: Also to aid in combat, Dream Snatcher possesses a white cape, which is powerful enough to deflect energy blasts from the Megaforce Rangers' Mega Blasters.
- Dream Sword: Dream Snatcher also possesses a sword that aids him in combat as well.

to be added
Notes[]
- While Dream Snatcher isn't the strongest monster, he is very dangerous in his own right, having an ability that can harm both humans and the entire Earth.
- Dream Snatcher's line "Aye-yi-yi." is a callback to Alpha 4, 5, 6 & 7's iconic line used in the entire Zordon era of PR "Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi!"
- He also shares the same name as the episode.
- He is the last monster to fight the Sky Gosei Great, and (in addition to be defeated by) the Gosei Great Grand Megazord.
- His ability to trap people in a dream world is similar to Madame Woe of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Season 1) and also like Rhinosnorus in Power Rangers Samurai.
