Gatekeepers

This article is about a/an set of creatures in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, existing in a different continuity than the TV series.

The Gatekeepers.

The Gatekeepers are stone warriors who protected the Ninjetti temple on Phaedos. The four Gatekeepers, with a row of three along the bottom, and a fourth above the central lower one, were as follows

• The central lower one (designated here as Gatekeeper #1) wielded serrated curved blades.
• The left lower one (designated as Gatekeeper #2) wielded a spiked/bladed spear.
• The right lower one (designated as Gatekeeper #3) wielded a spiked club.
• The central upper one, Gatekeeper #4, wielded a six-bladed axe (three on each side).

They live on the Planet Phaedos, and are tasked with guarding the Great Power from unworthy hands. Only by defeating all four of them would the Great Power be released.

They are situated inside the walls of the Temple of the Great Power, with their armor and weapons cast in stone. When a challenger approaches, the stone armor and weapons are replaced with steel ones, and the rock monsters come to life.

The Rangers initially struggled against the rock monsters, but soon realized their weak point: Their brains. Using that, they quickly defeated the rock monsters and claimed the Great Power for themselve

Notes

• In the Power Rangers S.P.D. episode "Shadow" Pt. 2, a Gatekeeper was seen as a customer at Piggy's cafe. In the episode "Confronted" an alien that looks like one of the Gatekeepers can be seen in the background of the training area.

Notes

• The Gatekeepers somewhat resemble the Pig Guards from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
