- ―Shadow Chromite's final words before his demise.[src]
The Shadow Chromite was a special Chromite and one of Divatox's monsters. He could control sunlight stole the Rangers' powers to create the Shadow Rangers. He serves as the main antagonist of the episode "Shadow Rangers".
History
Shadow Chromite was one of the Chromites who served Divatox. The Chromites appeared when General Havoc arrived. Shadow Chromite was unique. His life force was connected to the sunlight. He also could control sunlight and was able to create the Shadow Rangers from the solar energy.
In the fourth episode, Divatox ordered Shadow Chromite to attack Angel Grove with a detonator which was supposed to destroy the city in the blast. Chromite attacked Angel Grove and encountered the Power Rangers. Chromite created the Shadow Rangers who absorbed the Rangers' powers and the Rangers lost their powers and couldn't morph. Adam, Kat and Tanya were captured. Justin later also encountered Chromite who stole Justin's powers, made his evil twin and was captured, while Tommy escaped to the Command Center.
Chromite sent the captured Rangers to his cave with bra-lamps under the guard of the Pink Shadow Ranger, and he took the other Shadow Rangers with him to hunt Tommy. However, Dimitria helped Tommy as she told him that the Shadow Rangers were created from lights of solar energy, so they can be defeated if the sunlight is blocked and they get in the shadows, they fade away forever. Tommy encountered the Shadow Rangers, managed to lure them in the shadows and they disappeared.
Then Tommy followed a signal of the beacon of transmitter which Justin put in his pocket. Tommy followed to the cave and broke the bra-lamps, destroying the Pink Shadow Ranger, and freeing his friends. Then the Rangers morphed and formed the Turbo Megazord. The Turbo Megazord blocked the sunlight and Chromite and his detonator were finally destroyed. TV STORY-Shadow Rangers (episode)

Notes
- Chromite was based upon a gray version of the Combatant Wumpers, the footsoldiers from Gekisou Sentai Carranger. Standard colored Chromites (who, unlike this one, lacked the ability to speak) would later appear working for General Havoc.
- It is the first of the few monsters to be destroyed without fighting the Megazord since simply giving it a shadow makes it disappear forever, later, a Demon Racer explodes after losing a race with Adam and then Goldgoyle when T.J. makes him swallow the Turbo RAM, these being the only ones not to be clearly destroyed by the Megazord.
