Sonimax was a Cetus-themed Phantom Beast who holds the spirit of the Boar and is the master of sound based attacks. He is the first of the Phantom Beasts that the Power Rangers encountered. He serves as the main antagonist of the episode "Fear and the Phantoms" and a secondary antagonist of the episode "To Earn Your Stripes".

History

Sonimax was a member of the Phantom Beast Warriors. He used the style of the boar and was the master of sound based attacks. Sonimax fought in the first Beast War and battled against the Dai Shi Clan and Pai Zhuq academy and was destroyed along with his allies. However, the Crystal Eyes were left behind and held the power to resurrect them.

In "Fear and the Phantoms", Jellica used the Crystal Eyes and resurrected them and ordered them to help her destroy Dai Shi. However Scorch, Snapper and Whiger betrayed and destroyed her and then joined Dai Shi. Sonimax and other Phantom Beast Warriors were summoned by Scorch. Sonimax and other warriors promised to serve Dai Shi. Then Sonimax was sent by Scorch and Snapper to attack Ocean Bluff.

Sonimax attacked the city and encountered the Jungle Fury Rangers. He fought Casey, Theo, Dominic and RJ. He was winning. Then Lily arrived after her defeat at the hands of Snapper. Together the Rangers defeated him by combining their powers into a massive energy ball and firing it at him, vaporizing him.

Then Sonimax enlarged himself. The Power Rangers formed the Jungle Master Megazord combined with Elephant Power and took him down. Sonimax was nearly defeated by the Rhino Pride Megazord, but Snapper appeared and disabled the Megazords with his gravity attack. Sonimax left. TV STORY-Fear and the Phantoms

In "One Last Second Chance", Camille approached Sonimax, Lepus and Osiris and asked them to give her some of them Rinzin Power. They thought she was joking and declined her offer. TV STORY-One Last Second Chance

In "To Earn Your Stripes", Scorch and Snapper sent Sonimax, Lepus and Osiris to destroy Camille, as they decided she was the last tie in Jarrod's humanity and must be eliminated for Dai Shi's sake. They attacked and overwhelmed her, but Jarrod arrived, who temporarily took control over his body, and destroyed Sonimax and Osiris, saving Camille. Lepus escaped but was soon destroyed by the Power Rangers. TV STORY-To Earn Your Stripes

In the final battle, Sonimax was revived by Dai Shi, but was finally destroyed by the Jungle Fury Elephant Ranger. TV STORY-Now the Final Fury

Personality

Sonimax was a brutal, destructive and arrogant Phantom Beast Warrior, who won't stop at his mission to destroy the Power Rangers. But he is loyal to Dai Shi, Scorch, Snapper and Whiger.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Sonic Attack: Sonimax's signature attack where he poses and then fires a massive soundwave from the two horns at the front of his face which crippled four Rangers and allowed him to take them down.
• Horn Blasts: Sonimax can fire yellow Rinzin Power blasts from the horns on the front of his face that took down the four Rangers whilst they were disabled by his Sonic Attack.
• Enlarging: Sonimax can make himself grow at will, unlike Rinshi Beasts who required fear to grow. This is the same with the other Phantom Beast Warriors.

Abilities

• Superhuman Strength: Sonimax can take out four Rangers with his bare hands and send them flying with single punches and knocked Theo back with just a kick to his Claw Booster.
• Superhuman Durability: Sonimax could shrug off multiple energy slashes from the Claw Boosters as well as an energy slash from the Rhino Blade.
• Agility Rush: Sonimax can scoot forward and slam through his enemies with enough force to take down all four Rangers.
• Superhuman Stamina: Sonimax lasted longer in combat than all four Rangers did.
• Skilled Fighter: Sonimax can take on all five Rangers and actually overwhelm them with massive ease.

Weaknesses

to be added

Arsenal

• Fists: While heavily lacking in melee weapons, Sonimax is an immensely strong and powerful Phantom Beast who needs merely his bare hands to strike down his enemies.
  • Rinzin Blasts: Sonimax can charge up his hand with Rinzin Power and fire yellow energy blasts although this was avoided.
  • Rinzin Empowerment: Sonimax can charge up his fists with yellow Rinzin Power to send his enemies flying across the battlefield.

Notes

• Sonimax was the first of the Phantom Beasts to be encountered by the Power Rangers and the first monster since Whiricane.
  • Sonimax’s death was vastly different than it was in Gekiranger; being killed at the beach when he showed up to kill RJ’s counterpart to aid Rio/Jarrod only to be killed by a devastating spin kick from Gou.
  • This was cut and changed since Rio was unmorphed behind him.
