Rykon was a shapeshifting, pharaoh-themed monster sent to the Terra Venture by Trakeena to steal the Galaxy Book.
History
In order for their plans to work, she took on the appearance of Shondra, the Yellow Galaxy Ranger's childhood friend from Mirinoi. As Shondra, Rykon managed to fool Maya and Kendrix Morgan long enough to attempt to steal the book before she was attacked by a GSA security guard.
The guard managed to shoot Rykon in the ankle, resulting in a limp that did not go unnoticed by Kendrix, who'd heard the guard retell his tale to Commander Stanton.
When Kendrix made Maya aware of her suspicions, Maya didn't believe her until she spotted Rykon (as Shondra) attempting to escape the Science Division with the Galaxy Book hidden in a backpack. Unable to convince Maya of her innocence, she attacked the Yellow Ranger and attempted to flee with the book, only to be stopped outside the Science Division by said Ranger. Rykon battled Maya, eventually besting her by pretending to be Shondra for a second when Maya was about to beat her, causing Maya to hesitate and lower her guard before attacking her. Now fully exposed, Rykon transforms back into her true form and attempts to escape. However, the other Galaxy Rangers and Mike Corbett joined the battle and overpowered her, prompting her to grow.
The Rangers formed the Galaxy Megazord, but Rykon was too strong. In response, Maya called upon the Stratoforce Megazord which attacked Rykon, weakening her. With Rykon weakened by the Stratoforce Megazord, the Galaxy Megazord destroyed her.
