The Bat Ranger transforms from the Bat Animal Spirit. It can be used by Master Swoop as a secondary body, or by being summoned by Blue Ranger into battle.

As an Animal Spirit
The Bat Animal Spirit was Master Swoop's Animal Spirit. Being Theo's personal trainer, he was able to make Theo master the use of his Bat Animal Spirit as well.
Eventually, Theo learned how to summon the Bat Animal Spirit for battles.
As a Spirit Ranger
Master Swoop fighting alongside the Bat Spirit Ranger
The Bat Ranger is one of the Spirit Rangers created by the Phantom Beasts using Master Swoop's power. He appears in Jungle Master Mode and uses the Jungle Fan.
In his first appearance, he battles the Jungle Fury Rangers with the other Spirit Rangers under the control of the Phantom Beasts. Later on, RJ figures out how to jam the frequencies that connect the Masters to the Spirit Rangers and is able to dissipate the spirits. RJ would also modify the claw cannon to hold the spirits of the Elephant, Bat and Shark Animal Spirits and uses it to cancel out the spirit of the Shark Spirit Ranger, which traps Master Finn inside one of the Crystal Eyes. Flit salvages the eye after a Phantom Beast attempts to throw it in the sea and brings it to RJ. Soon after, all the masters are rescued and the Spirit Rangers they control fight alongside the Jungle Fury Rangers. The masters then let the rangers take control of the Spirit Rangers, which they summon into battle in pinch situations.
His Bat fighting style is more evident than when the Blue Ranger uses it. In addition to using the Jungle Fan, it is evident that the Bat Ranger uses gliding and flight techniques to evade or rush to his opponent. His finishing move is identical to the Jungle Pride Megazord with Bat Power in that he performs slicing motions in an X-like pattern mid-flight.
The Bat Ranger did not fight in the Legendary Battle.

Notes
Bat Ranger basic figure
- Though not present in the source material, the Jungle Spirit Rangers' designs were produced by PLEX for Power Rangers.
- Initially, Bandai America released toys of them that seemingly served as counterparts to the Roar Max Zords. The comic that goes with the figures states that the Masters were Rangers 20 years ago and are now inhabiting beast bodies. In the comic, they are now training the Jungle Fury Rangers in place of their masters in the show. Months after the toy release, Terebi Kun, a Japanese magazine, published photos in two consecutive issues with all three rangers in Jungle Master Mode outfits. Soon, the summaries that support the photos appeared, beginning with those for Fear and the Phantoms.
- The Bat Ranger is the first Power Ranger based on a bat as well as the first blind Ranger.
- The Bat Ranger is the only Spirit Ranger to have its own children's Halloween costume. It is a Disney Store-exclusive. He is the only Ranger outside the core three to be seen in promotional artwork.
