" I pledge my loyalty, Dai Shi. "

― Grizzaka’s relationship with Dai Shi^[src]

" Human Dai Shi? Within a weak human form. (...) No human gives ME orders. 10000 years ago, you ruled us and we were destroyed. Now, you're human, even weaker. From now on, I'M IN CHARGE! "

― Grizzaka tells Dai Shi he's “no longer serving him”.^[src]

"Grizzaka, Overlord of the Land!"

―Introducing himself.^[src]

"Impossible! I am invincible! No one is stronger than Grizzaka!"

―Grizzaka's last words before his destruction.^[src]

Grizzaka was the Earth Overlord and holder of the Grizzly Bear Animal Spirit who is the master of the power of Zocato, which made him the strongest of the Overlords. He also wore gloves that could sprout claws from the back of his hands. Grizzaka serves as the secondary antagonist of Power Rangers Jungle Fury.

History

Ten thousand years before the events of the series Grizzaka worked with Dai Shi and was engaged in the war for Earth against Pai Zhuq academy. He was destroyed in the war.

After Dai Shi's defeat by the Jungle Master Red Ranger, Carnisoar and Jellica send Camille to revive Grizzaka to increase Dai Shi's power. Camille used the last of Naja's live talons and revived Grizzaka in the dark cave on the seaside. However, being violent and short-tempered, Grizzaka blames Dai Shi for losing the Beast War centuries ago and despises humans. Once revived by Camille, whom he attacked until she pleaded him to come with her, Grizzaka overthrows Dai Shi because of his current status as a human and becomes the new leader with Carnisoar and Jellica switching loyalties out of fear of their well-being.

His current goal is to gather the Crystal Eyes that will release the Phantom Beasts from their prison. After Jellica captured Dai Shi, he ended up in a fight with Dai Shi where during the fight, he mentioned that the Control Dagger Dominic has is needed to get into the Rhino Nexus. Grizzaka defeated Jarrod again while using the Zocato Power.

After Dai Shi escaped, he took Carnisoar and Jellica to the Rhino Nexus. Upon running afoul of the Power Rangers, Grizzaka managed to defeat the Jungle Master Megazord (even when it had Bat Power and later Shark Power). Grizzaka ended up occupied by the Sand Snakes that guarded the Rhino Nexus.

When Dai Shi returned to the castle, Grizzaka was defeated by Dai Shi's Zocato. Grizzaka left to gather fear in Ocean Bluff. Grizzaka then fought the Power Rangers while Casey tried to reclaim the Crystal Eyes from Camille and Dai Shi. Grizzaka was overwhelming them until Casey arrived. Casey used a combination of the Claw Booster and Dominic's Rhino Morpher to attack Grizaka. Grizzaka was taken down by the Claw Cannon, Wolf Morpher and Rhino Blade. Grizzaka grows and the Rangers form the Jungle Master Megazord and the Wolf Pride Megazord. Grizzaka overwhelmed the Megazords until Dominic brings out the Rhino Steel Megazord. Grizzaka then fights the Rhino Steel Megazord and are taken down. He was then destroyed by a new formation involving the Steel Rhino Megazord, the Wolf Zord, and the Jungle Master Zords.

Despite his treachery, Grizzaka was revived by Dai Shi for the final Beast War, but was destroyed again by Dominic during the battle against him and the other Jungle Fury Power Rangers and the Pai Zhuq Masters. TV STORY-Now the Final Fury

Personality

A barbaric, loyal, rebellious, ruthless, cruel, merciless, megalomaniacal, and brutally sadistic warlord who despite this, has regard for his own people, Grizzaka arguably manages to be more evil and sinister than Dai Shi himself. An intimidating and brutish presence, he is able to cause fear in the hearts of his enemies with merely his appearance alone, and is a savage fighter to go along with his ruthless brutality. He is beyond misanthropic, going so far on the genocidal scale, and wants the humans to suffer and die purely for existing. That fact even extends to his own “former master” when he notices his recent human form, when he pledges loyalty for a brief moment until seeing the human form his “master has occupied”, which he did not hesitate to attack with no mercy. Despite his short temper and violent nature, he is actually very cunning, intelligent, and competent, and knows just how to manipulate his way into power, and when it comes to using intimidating tactics, he is unflinchingly capable of doing it. His violent nature is only outmatched by his arrogance, narcissism, and even his own megalomania, which caused him to underestimate, in a state of overconfidence, his enemies consequently leading to his death. All of this makes Grizzaka one of the most evil and repulsive villains in Power Rangers alongside other villains, such as Dai Shi, Queen Bansheera, Venjix Virus/Evox, Serrator, Deviot, Master Org, Octomus the Master, Vrak, and Lord Arcanon.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Zocato: Grizzaka is the ultimate master of Zocato power, which grants him several special abilities such as:
  • Chest Zocato Beam: Grizzaka's strongest demonstrated attack. By calling for Zocato, Grizzaka can make purple smoke erupt from his back and then fire a massive clear blue energy beam from the center of his chest. This tore apart the Jungle Master Megazord with Elephant Power in one hit and demorphed the five Rangers inside of it.
  • Enlargement: Grizzaka can charge himself up with the power of Zocato in order to grow himself to the size of a Megazord.
    • Monster Enlargement: Although it seems unnecessary, Grizzaka can channel his Zocato power into his monsters to make them grow such as Monkeywi, Whiricane, and Whirnado. It is unclear whether the monster either lacks the ability to enlarge themselves or this was overdoing it.
      • Resurrection: In the process of growing them, it also revived them from their previous destruction.
  • Zocato Ball: Grizzaka can charge up his fists with blue-purple Zocato energy and fire forth a big ball of the same color. It may have destroyed Jarod and Dai Shi had he not used a Shark Saber to energy slash it in two. During his final battle, it took down all four Rangers with one blast and would have killed them had Casey not intervened.
  • Energy Meteor Transformation: Grizzaka can turn himself into a meteor made of purple energy to fly into the sky and slam back down with enough explosive force to down Jarrod/Dai Shi and Camille in one hit.
  • Zocato Wave: Grizzaka can announce the name of Zocato and then generate a massive purple energy wave around himself that is powerful enough to take down the Jungle Master and Wolf Pride Megazords in one hit.

Abilities

• Strength: Grizzaka is the most powerful Overlord and the second strongest villain the Power Rangers ever faced, overwhelming Jarrod in even his Lion warrior form with ease.
• Durability: Multiple energy punches from the Jungle Master Megazord with Bat Power merely knocked him back and the Ranger's ultimate finisher knocked him down and made him explode but did no damage.
• Skilled Fighter: Grizzaka was the most skilled Overload of them all, overpowering all five Rangers and defeating Dai Shi easily before he got his Zocato abilities.

Weaknesses

Arsenal

• Wrist Claws: Grizzaka has claws mounted on his wrists which he can extend at will to use in combat. They were powerful enough to block the Jungle Master Megazord with Shark Power's energy slashing finisher.
  • Energy Empowerment: Grizzaka can charge up his claws with red energy and slash at his enemies at full force. During his final battle, it knocked down RJ.
  • Energy Slashes: Grizzaka can make ice appear in front of him by flashing his left eye, slash through the ice, and charge up his claws with red energy to release energy slashes of the same color at his opponents with extreme force. One hit knocked back the Jungle Master Megazord with Bat Power.
