A staple in Super Sentai and Power Rangers is the episodic monster. They all vary in how they are recruited to the main villains. Most of these monsters are created by the main villain, but there are some monsters that are simply recruited to the group or are already lesser members, and in some cases it is never revealed how the main villains are supplied with many monsters.

List of Monster Creation Methods
