Loyax

Loyax is a monster and aged warrior sent to fight the Galaxy Rangers on the Terra Venture. While he is evil, he follows a code of honor similar to Villamax's and believes in the archaic rule that women are unworthy opponents in battles because of their gender.

Background

In his youth Loyax once fought the forces good, however, as his youth and the belief that good would triumph over evil began to wain, he eventually decided to join the forces of evil. Loyax had lived his whole life as a cunning and mighty warrior, but now his strength was beginning to fade. Villamax regarded Loyax as a honorable legend, worthy of Trakeena's time, while Deviot didn't think much of him.

Trakeena offered him the chance to battle the Power Rangers as his last worthy opponents. When he arrived on the Terra Venture, the Rangers arrived to battle him, however, it's Maya that reaches him first. At first, refuses to fight her, disregarding her prowess because she happened to be a girl. However, as the Rangers continue to fight him, Maya refuses to back off, even when Leo attempts to draw Loyax away from her. Eventually, Maya and Loyax fall from a cliff, into the ocean. When they came to, they were inside a dark cave and Maya discovered she'd injured her knee.

Loyax lamented over his recent defeat at the hands of the Rangers, Maya, specifically ashamed he failed to carry out his mission. However, he and Maya eventually come to a agreement, putting their differences aside to help one another out of the cave (Maya being Loyax's eyes as his eyesight was poor and Loyax their legs because Maya's injury hindered her ability to walk).

One they escaped the cave their short-lived alliance was ended, Loyax insisted Maya fight him to honor his last wishes for a final battle. Maya believed that he didn't have to fight for evil, but return to the side of good and refused to fight him. He admired her idealism, but believed her line of thinking to be incorrect and continued to insist until he was ambusihed by Deviot, who poisoned him with a growth formula that placed him under his control. Deviot mocked Loyax's code of honor and forced him to attack Maya and the other Rangers before they summoned the Galaxy Megazord. Loyax was unable to fight off Deviot's control and begged the rangers to end his life. The Galaxy Megazord saber slashed the control apparatus on his left wrist, Loyax thanked them and was destroyed.

In the aftermath of their battle, Maya placed his sword in the sand as a symbol of remembrance.
