Creation

The Rat Monsters were transformed rats who served as the final antagonists of the three part episode "Return of the Green Ranger."

History

Three rats are in Uncle Ben's barn during the late 18th century. When the Wizard of Deception appears to eliminate the Power Rangers, he transforms three rats into monsters. Confronted by a new threat, the Rangers attempt to morph but them being in the past prevents them from summoning their Power Morphers. As Tom Oliver continues summoning the Dragonzord, two of the Rat Monsters scare off the entire township including four redcoats on break. They then run everyone out of town including the Power Rangers shortly after the Dragonzord defeats the White Tigerzord. Just as the Rat Monsters chase the citizens to the gallows, Tommy is able to steal the Wizard of Deception's wand and rescue the Power Rangers. Knowing they are outmatched, the Rat Monsters fall back into the forest but the Rangers have to leave the Rat Monsters.

Later on, Tommy and Tom, now freed from the Wizard of Deception's spell, return to the past to face the Rat Monsters alongside each other. They arrive just as the three Rat Monsters manage to corner the entire town population, and defeat the Rat Monsters. After being defeated, the Rat Monsters are turned back into regular rats by the White Ranger with the Wizard's wand.

Personality

The Rat Monsters were mindless, speaking only in rat like chittering sounds and wreaked destruction.

Notes

• The Rat Monsters were originally intended to be used in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie which was being filmed at the same time. They were to be ordinary rats that Ivan Ooze would use his magic on to turn them into monsters for the Rangers to battle.
  • Haim Saban thought they were too low budget for a movie and used them in the TV show instead. They would be replaced with the Oozemen.
