Ryjack is an intergalactic alien criminal that acts as an ally to Evox's Army in Power Rangers Beast Morphers.
Character History
Ryjack was a wanted intergalactic criminal being hunted by Captain Chaku who he eventually traced to Earth after fleeing across 7 galaxies. In desperation, Ryjack fled to the Crystal Dimension where he met Scrozzle and Evox who were worried because their previous scheme had failed to acquire the rapidly diminishing Morph-X. His entire motive was killing powerful alien beings and taking their weapons to stockpile as trophies. He wished to know the location of the base and Evox offered but only if he killed the Rangers. He was then given Vargoyle's blaster (which they had somehow found and kept despite it being involved in his explosion) as a sidearm but he instead used his reanimator to recreate Vargoyle in a golden body. He and Vargoyle then attacked a quarry and stole a barrel of Morph-X but the Rangers arrived and they were forced to fight. He resurrected some Putties and Vivix to fight for him and fought the Rangers. He was kicked down hard by Zoey after Ravi threw him into the air but took them out of commision with a devastating poison blast. He then left with Vargoyle after the latter took Nate and Steel's Striker Beast Blast.
At around the same time, Blaze and Roxy were resurrected by Scrozzle after being obliterated by the Striker Beast Blast whilst riding a tanker in the previous episode and were horrified to learn of Vargoyle's return. He then demanded the details of their base from Evox but was again denied and Vargoyle was sent to destroy the remaining Rangers whilst Scrozzle deployed a Gigadrone to steal Morph-X in the hope that it would either be successful or that the divided team would allow Vargoyle to destroy the one that went after him. The scheme failed but Ryjack remained with Evox.

Notes
- Ryjack is the first monster in the Power Rangers series to be adapted from a Metal Heroes show, in this case, Sai Doubler from Uchuu Keiji Gavan (which Rhino Doubler was modeled after). Metal Heroes (specifically Uchuu Keiji Shaider Jikuu Senshi Spielban Choujinki Metalder Juukou B-Fighter and B-Fighter Kabuto) was previously used as the basis for several previous Saban shows, namely VR Troopers and Big Bad Beetleborgs.
- He is also the second monster in an American adaptation of a Metal Heroes show that came from an unadapted show since Wingar from Big Bad Beetleborgs, who was adapted from Mademoiselle Q from Blue SWAT.
- Ryjack resembles Rhinix from Power Rangers S.P.D..
- Ryjack is the first monster to use regular Putty Patrollers since Commander Crayfish in the episode Mighty Morphin' Mutants, the first to use Triptoids since Deadwood from the episode The Passion of Connor, and the first to use Vivix since Badussa from the episode The Rangers Rock!
- Ryjack's name is a play on hijack, which means to seize and reroute a ship or plane, usually for criminal intent.
- Ryjack had red eyes in the American version.
