"People of the surface, Let me introduce to you the destroyers of your world. Black Lance, Megahorn, I am Sculpin, Itassis, Serpentina, Hekatoid, Oculous, Magma, Matoombo, Gekkor. We are the Ten Terrors of the Underworld. We have come to punish you. Give us what you hold most sacred. Give us The Light!"
―Sculpin introducing the people of Briarwood to both himself and the Terrors, and explaining his plan.[src]

"Black Lance, rid the surface world of these pesky Rangers."
―Sculpin to Black Lance.[src]

"It will not matter. Darkness will still prevail!"
―Final words before his demise.[src]

Sculpin was a trident wielding gillman-like leader of the Ten Terrors and one of the two secondary antagonists of Power Rangers Mystic Force.

History[]

When the Master was defeated again, Necrolai found the Sanctum of Ten Terrors. Sculpin and the other Terrors first appeared when Necrolai first entered their secret lair. Necrolai told them that the Master was defeated again, and Imperious was destroyed, and the Terrors had to help conquer the world. They listened to her and agreed to help conquer the surface world.

They introduced themselves to the people of Briarwood when the sky turned dark. Sculpin told the people to give them the Light, who is actually Nick Russell, the Red Ranger and leader of the Mystic Rangers. They easily defeated the Rangers' Manticore Megazord and left.

When Magma failed to destroy the Rangers before the flame he lit burnt out, Sculpin hurled his trident through the portal created by the Stone of Judgement and destroyed Magma. Tvicon TV STORY-The Light

When Sculpin noticed that the Master showed no signs of returning, he became suspicious and went to investigate. He scried using the Lake of Lament to find out what had happened, and realized that Leanbow was preventing the Master from being resurrected. Although this was a major hindrance to the Terrors' plans, Sculpin found the aspect "fun". He plotted ways to lure Leanbow out in the open. Tvicon TV STORY-Hard Heads

Returning to the Lake of Lament, he called Leanbow and showed him Megahorn's rampage, how strong he was against the Rangers.

When Leanbow refused to help, Sculpin resorted to drastic measures. He deliberately broke the Rules of Darkness by sending Black Lance to the surface in order to assist Megahorn, feeling that two Terrors were far more difficult to handle than one. This strategy proved successful when Leanbow did appear on the Surface World. It was then that Sculpin gave Necrolai one of his fish scales to plant on Leanbow when he was battling Black Lance. After Black Lance was sent back to the Underworld and Megahorn was destroyed, he described Megahorn as a "hot-head that deserved to lose," and proceeded with his next plan to find Leanbow.

Sculpin gave Necrolai another one of his fish scales for her (and them) to use to track down Leanbow. When she found him, he brought along Gekkor and Matoombo to personally battle Leanbow. He first allowed Gekkor to fight the knight, but when Gekkor was weakened, sent Matoombo to take his place. After Matoombo shattered Leanbow's shield, this left him open for Sculpin to use his trident to extract the Master's spirit from Leanbow's body. Once Leanbow was "exorcised," Sculpin used his trident to create a fissure in the ground and send Leanbow plummeting into it. Tvicon TV STORY-Light Source

Sculpin's immediate goal of restoring the Master was realized after he personally slew his Master's chosen vessel, Matoombo, thus restoring the Master to a physical form. Tvicon TV STORY-The Return

In the end, Sculpin, with some assistance from Black Lance, destroyed Itassis for her disloyalty.

Alongside Black Lance, he fought the Rangers viciously, kidnapping Udonna and temporarily killing Jenji.

Sculpin's demise

In the Underworld, however, he was confronted by Itassis, who was brought back to life by Necrolai. The two fought, but Sculpin was ultimately destroyed, unable to stand against her new sense of courage. In his last breath, Sculpin vowed that the Master would avenge him and that the forces of darkness would be victorious, this makes him the eighth and final Terror to be destroyed. He last words would ultimately be proven wrong when Octomus was destroyed once and for all.Tvicon TV STORY-Mystic Fate

Personality[]

Sculpin is fanatically loyal and devoted to the Master, and doesn't even view it as his place to question orders. He is extremely zealous about upholding the Rules of Darkness, and has made it clear that he will destroy anyone who breaks them, although this is only because he thought following them would allow the Master to return. When it eventually seemed otherwise, he went ahead and disobeyed. Needless to say, in spite of his fanatic devotion to darkness, he is not without a personality trait of his own. That being said, as with the Master, he is also exceedingly sadistic, brutal, treacherous, and remorseless, as he does not really care about his minions nor his army, and will not hesitate to kill or betray them whenever the opportunity reveals itself.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Size Changing: Just like the other Ten Terrors, Sculpin can change his size from his normal giant form and being human-sized at will.
  • Teleportation: Sculpin can teleport to any location at will.
  • Scale Tracker: Sculpin has the ability to shed his fish scales and use them as tracking devices.

Abilities[]

  • Super Strength: Being the leader, Sculpin is most likely the most powerful of all the Terrors since he was able to easily hold his own against Udonna (the strongest of the Mystic Rangers) and send her flying with a single drop kick.
  • Durability: Sculpin has very thick and strong fish scales that left him completely unharmed by Udonna's Flurry of Snow attack.

Weaknesses[]

Arsenal[]

  • Trident: Sculpin carries a large trident for combat. It is a powerful weapon, able to strike down Magma, Matoombo, and Itassis easily.
    • Energy Launch: Sculpin can turn his trident into pink energy and throw it at full force.
      • Explosive Petrification: When hit on contact with the enemy, it will go through them and turn them into stone while also causing them to explode, as shown in the episode "The Light".
    • Fissure Creation: Sculpin can slam his trident to the ground and cause it to split apart, as shown in the final part of the two-part episode "Light Source" when he confronted the Rangers.
    • Energy Empowerment: Sculpin can strike his opponents down with red energy gathered from his trident.
    • Flame Rings: Sculpin can launch fire rings from his trident.
    • Fireballs: Sculpin can also summon a flurry of fireballs from his staff when fighting.
    • Energy Beam: Sculpin can unleash an orange energy beam from his trident as seen when he fired this at Udonna during part I of the two-part series finale.

Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

  • Sculpin is voiced by Peter Daube. His suit actor was Hideaki Kusaka (日下 秀昭 Kusaka Hideaki), his sub was Jiro Okamoto (岡元 次郎 Okamoto Jirō), & Yasuhiro Takeuchi (竹内 康博 Takeuchi Yasuhiro).
  • Sculpin's voice is nearly identical to Robtish from Samurai, also voiced by Daube, which is most evident when he says "Go Magma, in the name of the Terrors!" after Magma was chosen by the Stone of Judgement as the first to fight the Rangers in the episode "The Light". There is no difference between their voices except that Sculpin lacks the thick Scottish accent Robtish would later have.

Design[]

  • Sculpin's appearance is similar to both the Gill-man and the mythological figure Dagon, as he has a fish-like head.

Etymology[]

to be added

Notes[]

  • With Koragg reformed to become one of the allies, Sculpin takes the role as the secondary antagonist of Power Rangers Mystic Force.
  • Out of the Ten Terrors, Sculpin killed three Terrors (although two were revived). The other six were killed by the Rangers, but then ironically he was killed by a Terror himself, in his case, Itassis.
  • The method that Sculpin uses to kill Matoombo differs from his Sentai counterpart, Hades Wise God Dagon. In Magiranger, Dagon impaled Hades Warrior God Titan, Matoombo's counterpart, with his trident, but in Power Rangers Mystic Force, Sculpin merely struck Matoombo and left him to perish. The change is likely due to the original's brutal nature.
  • Sculpin is one of the four Terrors along with Oculous, Gekkor and Itassis to not fight a single one of the Mystic Force Zords. Although they engaged in a megazord battle with the other Terrors against the Manticore Megazord, it was only briefly and they never fought the Mystic Force Zords individudally.
