Biography
A somewhat cowardly Slippery Shark was created by Finster whose main source of power was a fin on a chain that he wielded. Slippery Shark wielded his boomerang like a sword. Rita then sent him to Earth. Slippery Shark encountered Jason and Tommy under a trance, putting them through a rivalry against each other. Zordon sent Jason and Tommy together to hunt down Slippery Shark in order to overpower the rivalry spell. Slippery Shark could fly very fast, that even scanners of Command Center couldn't find him. They eventually found him and destroyed his fin, freeing themselves from his spell. Slippery Shark was weakened when his fin was destroyed. Then the other Rangers arrived. Zack used his axe and stroke on ground, making Shark get out. Then Rangerd tried to attack him with Power Blaster, but Rita enlarged him. Slippery Shark was then destroyed by the Dino Megazord with Power Sword. TV STORY-On Fins and Needles

Notes
- According to Jeff Pruitt, the stunt director, Slippery Shark had footage of him flying, but was cut out because the wires were visible.
- The 5 inch figure released of this monster in the first season toyline did not come with the boomerang he used in the show. Instead, the toy came with a wrist-mounted gun.
- Slippery Shark's boomerang is Basically a modified version of Scorpina's.
