- ""Aha. Perhaps you'll rise to the occasion if I give you a bigger challenge. In a few moments, we shall see if you're really cut out for this Papyrox. My creation obeys my every thoughts, follows my every command. He cuts and he destroys. Consider this your new test. Either you pass or you fail.""
- ―Serrator creating and presending the first Papyrox.[src]
The Papyroxes are Nighloks created by Serrator from special paper using his claws.
History
The first Papyrox appears after Serrator's introduction when it easily overpowers the Battlewing Megazord and a single attack tears it apart. After Antonio Garcia successfully drives off Serrator with the LightZord he reveals its Mega Mode which easily overwhelms the monster (smashing it's sword with a Battle Disc) and destroying the Papyrox with it's Battle Disk Scattershot attack. 
TV STORY-Something Fishy
The second Papyrox appears alongside some Moogers and and a pair of Spitfangs. They are all destroyed by the Samurai Megazord's Samurai Strike, the Claw Battlezord's Double Katana Strike and the Bull Megazord's Revolving Laser Blaster. TV STORY-He Ain't Heavy Metal, He's My Brother
The third Papyrox appears alongside another pair of Spitfangs. While the Spitfangs are destroyed by the Claw Armor Megazord the Papyrox is destroyed by the Samurai Gigazord with Jayden Shiba using Shogun Mode and the Shogun Spear to power up for the final attack. TV STORY-The Master Returns
The fourth and fifth appear during the final battle with Serrator where they are destroyed by the Samurai Megazord's Samurai Strike and the Claw Battlezord Claw Pincer Slash. After that Serrator is defeated for good by the Samurai Shark Gigazord; with his demise no more Papyroxes can be created. TV STORY-Stroke of Fate
Powers and abilities
- Strength-The Papyroxes are the most powerful footsoldiers of Power Rangers Samurai with the first being able to rip apart the Battlewing Megazord and send the regular Megazord flying across thier battlefield with a single uppercut which also knocked off it's helmet.
- Durability-The second Papyrox was hit full force by the deflected fireballs of it's Spitfangs but barely reacted.
- Energy Beam-The first Papyrox was able to fire a massive light-blue beam from it's forehead. This was it's strongest attack as a single blast took down all five Rangers and a continuous blast ripped apart the Battlewing Megazord and forced it back into the Samurai Megazord.
Arsenal
- Sword-The Papyroxes carry long, serrated swords with the tip divided in two at the top that they can use to hack and slash thier enemies.
- Weapon Catching-The division down it's centre is apparently used to trap other weapons as seen when it caught the Battlewing Megazord's sword in between the bits of the blade.
- Spitfangs-The second and third Papyroxes used two Spitfangs to spew fireballs at the Rangers by forcing back thier heads to spew up thier attack,
Trivia
- The first Papyrox is the only monster to be destroyed by the Samurai Lightzord.
- No human-sized Papyroxes were made and thus it is unknown if Serrator can make any non-giant ones.
- As such, they are the only monster or footsoldier to be giant by default in either season of Power Rangers Sanurai.
- The Papyroxs' serve as the "monster" antagonists of both "Something Fishy" and "He Ain't Heavy Metal, He's My Brother" since both episodes don't otherwise have monsters.
