History[]
Ageless beings with untold power, the Morphin Masters were responsible for creating the Ninja Nexus Prism, which empowered the Ninja Steel Rangers, but also the Dino Gems which powered the Dino Rangers, as well as the Energems for the Dino Charge Rangers. TV STORY-Unexpected Guest
Zordon refers to them as a group of ancient sorcerers who threw the chest containing Power Eggs into the sea millions of years ago. The sorcerers hid a universe of power within two mystical Power Eggs by casting the eggs into the sea. They believed that their ancient ancestors would look down on the eggs and protect them from universal danger. TV STORY-Big Sisters
As the Sporix Beasts gained the upper hand against the Knights of Rafkon and their dinosaur allies, six of the Morphin Masters emerged from a portal and granted the Knights of Rafkon the powers of the new Dino Fury Power Rangers before turning their dinosaur friends into Zords for them. They then left back to wherever they came from and the Dino Fury Rangers easily sealed the Sporix Beasts back into their eggs. TV STORY-Destination Dinohenge
Giving birth to multiple Power Rangers teams also gave rise to new threats, who started to hunt the Morphin Masters. Some of the Masters were actually destroyed by those villains, with those who survived going into hiding while dedicating their lives to protecting the Morphin Grid, vowing to never to interfere with people’s lives ever again. Despite this heavy decision being final, the Green Morphin Master broke the vow and continued to help not only the Dino Fury Rangers but multiple other Rangers teams in their darkest hour without the other Masters knowing.
When the Mega Rangers needed help to defeat the Armada, Master Green summoned the army of Legendary Rangers to help them before making them disappear in balls of light. Master Green also resurrected the robotic Ranger Steel after he was killed by Evox, making him a human in the process. TV STORY-Morphin Master
The Morphin Masters aid the Dino Fury Rangers against Lord Zedd. Master Red uses his powers to restore the Red Ninja Steel powers of Mick Kanic and also temporarily restore Zayto. However, Zedd captures them in attempt to use their powers for himself. But at the last moment of his capture, Master Red was able to throw his staff to Javi, who caught it and saw a vision of the Altar of Zordnia, which will unlock the Cosmic Fury Zords using the staff as a key.
Personalities[]
It was originally believed that due to their limited appearances and screen-time as well as mysterious nature, the Morphin Masters were pseudo neutral beings willing to create special devices and artifacts to help others save the universe for them. It was later revealed that shortly after the Great Sporix Wars, various villains started to hunt the Masters, which led to them becoming more distant and this time fully neutral in future conflicts. Master Green was an exception as she still tried to help some of the Ranger teams during their battles. However, the rest of the Masters were so devoted to this new belief, that they resorted to imprisoning Master Green for all eternity after realizing that she broke their rule to never interfere.

Behind The Scenes[]
The Morphin Masters as seen in Dino Fury were designed by Tracey Collins, with the physical suits manufactured in and imported from Japan.[1][2][3] Bennett stated that only the Red and Green suits were produced, while the others used the same suits and had their colors changed in post-production. He also stated the decision to have Master Green be the one assisting the Dino Fury Rangers to be a random choice.[4]
