"Don't be a Pollinator hater."
―Pollinator's final words when he was faced by the Z-Rex Blaster moments before his first defeat.[src]

"Oh yeah!"
―Pollinator's first lines upon being grown.[src]

Pollinator is a monster with the DNA of squid and a plant called Osmanthus who was created by Mesogog to aid Zeltrax and Elsa to prevent the Dino Thunder Power Rangers from rescuing Tommy. He serves as one of the primary antagonist of episode "Back in Black" the second part of the two-part "Tommy Rescue Saga", which is also the 500th anniversary special episode.

History[]

Pollinator was created by Mesogog and sent with Zeltrax and Elsa and a big squad of Tyrannodrones to stop the Rangers from going through the portal and entering his lair to save Tommy. But their first encounter failed.

Later Pollinator was drawn in with Elsa and Zeltrax to stop the Rangers from rescuing Tommy. But the Rangers defeated the villains and saved Tommy and even took the Black Dino Gem.

Seconds after they came to Reefside, Pollinator came to the city with the other two and an army of Tyrannodrones to stop them from getting the Black Dino Gem back to the Dino Lab. While Tommy fought with Zeltrax and Conner fought with Elsa, Pollinator fought with Ethan and Kira. He became invisible and nearly defeated them, but they finally defeated him. Then Conner arrived and the Rangers formed the Z-Rex Blaster.

Pollinator was destroyed by the Z-Rex Blaster, but Mesogog revived and enlarged him with the Hydro Regenerator. In the giant battle, Pollinator nearly defeated the Thundersaurus Megazord with his tentacles but Hayley gave Tommy the Cephalazord. It pounded him down before combining with the Megazord. Pollinator was bashed into the skies by the Thundersaurus Megazord's Cephala Power Punch before detonating. Tvicon TV STORY-Back in Black

Personality[]

Pollinator is very cunning and unpredictable. He is brave enough to fight the Rangers, but he underestimated them and it caused his loss. Despite that however, he is also loyal to Mesogog.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Invisiportal: Pollinator can create an Invisiportal to teleport to different places.
  • Invisibility: Pollinator has the ability to become invisible in a multi-colored swirl.
    • Mass Loss: Pollinator can lose the large mass on his back when he returns from being invisible.

Abilities[]

  • Strength: Despite the Pollinator's design, he has a great deal of raw strength and is shown to be stronger than Birdbrain previously, being able to temporarily restrain Ethan when he grabbed him whilst fighting on the Island Fortress and when enlarged, spinning around in a circle and smacking the Thundersaurus Megazord with his tentacles made it stumble back.
  • Durability: Pollinator has thick skin that lets him withstand attacks by his enemies without a scratch. When charging at Ethan and Kira to five through them, he was shot multiple times by their Thundermax Blasters but was unfazed and when enlarged, a barrage of bunches from the Cephalazord merely knocked him down.
  • Speech: Pollinator is able to speak despite lacking a visible mouth.
  • Agility: During the battle in Reefside, Pollinator was able to duck and dodge multiple punches and kicks from Ethan and Kira. He became more agile after losing the large mass on his back.
  • Super Jump: Pollinator was also able to jump extremely far to avoid Ethan and Kira's sweep kick.

Weaknesses[]

  • Pollinator appears to have no weaknesses.

Arsenal[]

  • Flower Fists: Pollinator has a set of flower-shaped hands that can aid him in combat. This makes him incredibly formidable with his great strength.
    • Lightning Energy Pulses: Pollinator can fire purple lightning-like energy pulses from his hands.
  • Tentacle Arms: Being created from squid DNA, Pollinator also has tentacles on his arms to also use for combat. They have a long range and can strike foes with ease.
    • Extendable Tentacle Arms: Pollinator's tentacle arms can extend at great length to attack his enemies.
    • Electrocution: Pollinator can also generate blue electricity across his tentacles to shock his enemies.

Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

Design[]

  • Pollinator resembles a squid with flower-like appendages.

Etymology[]

  • Pollinator's name is a diversion of the word "Pollen", which is a type of dust that flowers have.

Notes[]

  • Pollinator is among one of the most monster species in the Power Rangers series, given that he appears in the 500th episode of the Power Rangers series.
  • Pollinator is the first monster that fought the Cephalazord.
  • Pollinator has the exact same name as a Power Rangers Zeo monster. Given Dino Thunder was a legacy season, this was most likely intentional.
  • Pollinator is the first monster of Dino Thunder to be created off-screen.
  • Pollinator is the first monster to be faced by the Brachiozord.
  • Pollinator's third composition of DNA is not clear, but his Sentai counterpart is shown to have been giving a pigment of "spirited away", which likely explains his ability to cloak.
