Scumlaw in the Halloween Intergalactic Court.

Scumlaw is a faucet-themed monster and the corrupt prosecutor of the Halloween Intergalactic Court who has always won the trials because he owned the jury. He appears in the Power Rangers Dino Super Charge Halloween special episode "Trick or Trial".

History

Scumlaw was among Sledge's prisoners who arrived on Earth. One Halloween, he was enlisted by Poisandra to get rid of the Rangers through the Halloween Intergalactic Court, via his deceitful ways and having Poisandra, Curio, and several Vivix posing as the jury. It was here Scumlaw had the ghosts of many of the Rangers' fallen enemies come back to tell how they were wrongly "destroyed" by the Power Rangers. Eventually, the Power Rangers earned ten strikes, but right before the Pumkin Judges could decide the punishment for the Rangers, James and Prince Phillip showed up disguised as Rot and Decay to reveal who the jury really was. Exposed for his manipulation of the court, Scumlaw was sentenced to be vaporized for cheating, while the Rangers were declared innocent.

Realizing he was in hot water, Scumlaw fled the scene, where the Rangers destroyed him with a combined Dino Morpher Blast.

Personality

Personality-wise, Scumlaw acts very much like a lawyer, but is ruthless and incredibly manipulative, being able to easily trick the Judges into thinking that the Dino Charge Power Rangers are evil and that the monsters were innocent.

Powers and Abilities

By himself, Scumlaw has little to no strength of his own. Instead, he relies on others to do his job for him. However, he has skills in persuasion, using them to manipulate officials in order to gain what he wants.

Notes

• Scumlaw actually had the same Kyoryuger counterpart as Conductro although Conductro only used footage of his cloaked form and Scumlaw used his true form's costume.
  • No Sentai footage of Scumlaw was used in Power Rangers Dino Charge because most of his footage involved trying to kill Joyful Knight Candelilla (Poisandra's counterpart), which would make no sense given his loyalty to Sledge and him brutally killing Wrench's counterpart.
    • Even Scumlaw's original Sentai death was changed. Whereas he was destroyed by the Dino Morpher Blast here, in Kyoryuger, he was destroyed when Wrench's axe impaled him through the stomach. This was changed due to how brutally violent being stabbed through the gut looks.
• Out of all the Outlaws in the Power Rangers Dino Charge series, Scumlaw was one of the weakest monsters, having little to no abilities (outside from hand-to-hand combat) and never becoming giant.
• Scumlaw is similar to Memorella, a monster who appeared in the Power Rangers Dino Charge Halloween special episode, "The Ghostest With the Mostest", as both monsters make an appearance on their seasons' Halloween special.
  • Despite this however, they are opposite in many ways.
    • Memorella is a female monster who is themed after a vampire and has many powers, can transform into a bat, uses a whip for combat and has a battle with a Megazord.
    • Scumlaw on the other hand is a male monster who is themed after a lawyer, doesn't have much in a way of powers, lacks any handheld weapon for combat, and doesn't fight a Megazord.
• Scumlaw is the fifth monster outlaw in the Power Rangers Dino Charge series to lack any projectile/range-type attacks, the first being Puzzler, the second being Nightmare, the third being Beauticruel and the fourth being Spell Digger.
• Scumlaw is the third monster in the Power Rangers Dino Charge series to not get enlarged by the Magna Beam and engage in a Megazord battle. The first was G-BO and the second was Hunter.
• In Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, he and Conductro are the same character.
