Biography

Pumpkin Rapper was planted by Squatt and Baboo. Resembling an orange humanoid with an upside-down jack-o-lantern on its head, the Pumpkin Rapper spoke mainly in rhymes and rap tone (though one line was spoken in non-rhyming tone - when he is commanding the Putties to attack the Rangers). He was woken by Rangers really bad rapp and attacked them with pumpkin headed Putties. He put on their heads a pumpkins and they couldn't breath. But Kimberly used Power Blades and destroyed the pumpkins on the heads of her friends. Pumpkin Rapper attacked the Rangers with energy blasts and tried to tie them with vines and drain their energy. Despite his vine tentacles and pumpkin bombs, Pumpkin Rapper was taken down by Power Blaster .Trick or Treat

Because the Pumpkin Rapper happened to be one of Lord Zedd's favorite monsters, it was resurrected by Zedd as part of a Halloween monster assault in Zedd's Haunted Forest. While the army (consisting of Robogoat, Primator, Rhinoblaster, Invenusable Flytrap, and Snizzard with Doomstone as the leader) was largely unsuccessful, Zedd threw a growing bomb which Pumpkin Rapper used to grow himself only after leaving the dimension. It battled the White Tigerzord afte taking down the Thunder Megazord with his pumpkin bombs but was overpowered by one of the White Tiger Thunderbolts. Immediately after, he was taken down for goo by the Thunder Megazord's Thunder Saber.Zedd's Monster Mash

Pumpkin Rapper appeared again helping Zedd and Rita conquer a planet in the Vica Galaxy. He was destroyed by Zordon's energy wave.Countdown to Destruction
