Kleon (クレオン Kureon)[1] is an alien and a former member of the Druidon Tribe who is responsible for creating Minosaur monsters from the negative emotions of various humans or objects. He was also the primary antagonist for the majority of the series.
Character History
Kleon was born on another planet and at some point, joined the Druidon Tribe 
TV STORY-Final Ep.: The Will of the Earth after they left the Earth and drift into space as the meteor struck the Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs. TV STORY-Ep. 1: Que Boom!! Ryusoulger
Endgame
When Eras's tentacle attacked, Kleon used his body to shield Wiserue and Pricious, but the tentacle pierced through his body unharmed. TV STORY- Ep. 46: Noble Kishiryu When Eras emitted a light that put everyone into a slumber, Kleon was unaffected by it and managed to wake the Ryusoulgers up. He was dragged into Eras' body along Melto and Asuna, but they were able to escape by creating a Minosaur inside her body. TV STORY-Ep. 47: Between Happiness and Despair Kleon watched the final confortation and celebrated with Wiserue when Eras was defeated. Wiserue then questioned his origin and suggested to enjoy their precious lives with him and the survived Pricious on Kleon's planet. TV STORY-Final Ep.: The Will of the Earth
Personality
Kleon seems to be very lazy, bratty, obnoxious, carefree, sadistic, and usually lies around while Tankjoh does the actual fighting. Despite having no apparent combat abilities, he does not seem to consider the Ryusoulgers a threat, as he regards their presence with annoyance rather than disdain, such as when he interrupted a Minosaur battle by blocking the way with a troop of Drunn Soldiers instead of attacking the Ryusoulgers head on. He is also egotistical and cowardly, showing disgust at Tankjoh's loss and betted on being able to beat him easily in a fight, only to pass it off as getting ahead of himself once he realized Tankjoh heard it all. He was also capable of badmouthing Wiserue before the higher-ranked Druidon angrily confronted him. After being forced in the service of Gachireus, he soon found himself better off with Wiserue and Tankjoh, and is especially attached to the latter, switching to Wiserue upon his death. He is also slightly naive, something Wiserue found out the hard way. Despite this, he has a genuine heart at times, especially when it comes to satisfaction.

Notes
Concept Art
- Kleon bears a resemblance to Funfilled Spy Luckyuro from the previous dinosaur-themed Sentai series, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger and to Mushroom Nezire from Denji Sentai Megaranger.
- Coincidentally, his name is also similar to Luckyuro's Power Rangers counterpart, Curio.
- They also both have their genders changed for their Power Rangers counterparts respectfully.
- Campbell Cooley agreed with a fan on a Twitter post that Kleon is like Curio 2.0.
- Both Kleon and Luckyuro would also eventually defect from their villain group alongside a general with whom they are most partnered with (Wiserue and Joyful Knight Candelilla respectively).
- Both Kleon and Luckyuro also had the same suit actor.
- Coincidentally, his name is also similar to Luckyuro's Power Rangers counterpart, Curio.
- Kleon's design motif appears to be based on toadstool mushrooms and slime.
- Kleon continues the tradition of having a dinosaur-themed Super Sentai season's villains having their monsters created by someone or two, much like Pleprechuan from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, Apostle of Infinity Voffa and Apostle of Creation Mikela from Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, and all of the generals of Deboth Army from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.
- Kleon also continued the tradition of having one of the dinosaur-themed Super Sentai season's villains having their own songs, much like Witch Bandora, Apostle of Dawn Reje, Funfilled Spy Luckyuro and Joyful Knight Candelilla. Just like Candellila, he used his own song for one of his evil plans that involved stealing something from humans (Candellila used her song as a part of her plan to steal humans' backbones to turn them into her fanboys, Kleon used his song as a part of his plan to steal humans' soul), although Kleon is more obvious than Candellila, who had herself disguised as a human.
- Kleon's way of making monsters by infecting human is similar to Bugsters
from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. - Although Kleon lacks any appearance that give him a chess motif, the function of his power makes him similar to a pawn as:
- His ability to create Minosaur from anything or anyone is similar to how pawns can turn into any piece in chess (except a King).
- Kleon is the only Druidon Tribe member with an alternate costume part; His suit has a second alternate head with eyelids expressing fear or sadness.
- Kleon is the second genuine Druidon Tribe member to defect to the side of good.
- The reason why he joined the Druidon Tribe has not been revealed.
- Although it is likely that they forced him to join them.
- Kleon's Power Rangers counterpart is female
