The Spider Sketch Monster is a spider/teapot-based monster drawn from Santa's Magic Sketchbook by Slyther, who she serves in Power Rangers Dino Fury. She is a minor antagonist in the Christmas episode of the first season Dino Fury "Secret Santa".
History[]
The Spider Sketch Monster was created by Slyther after he drew her on Santa's Magic Sketchbook and she grew to gigantic size, to which after the Red, Pink, Green and Gold Dino Fury Rangers morphed.
The Red Ranger summons the T-Rex Champion Zord, Dimetro Blazing Zord and Mosa Razor Zord to form the Fusion Ultrazord in order to fight this monster. Though she grabbed an Electric Tower to gain the upper hand, the Spider Sketch Monster was quickly overwhelmed by the Fusion Ultrazord's high power, and after destroying the Spider Sketch Monster's whistle, the Dino Fury Rangers used the Fusion Ultrazord's Fusion Ultra Strike to destroy the Spider Sketch Monster.
Personality[]
The Spider Sketch Monster being created.
Unlike the other monsters fought by the Rangers, this monster does not talk, as she only speaks in grunts and roars. Given the lack of a mind, she had no personality other than being a mindless beast who just wants to destroy the Rangers.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- The Spider Sketch Monster had no powers.
Abilities[]
- Strength: The Spider Sketch Monster had a great deal of raw strength and was strong enough to tear an electric tower off the ground.
- Durability: The Spider Sketch Monster had thick skin that allows her to withstand powerful blows from the Fusion Ultrazord.
Weaknesses[]
- Vulnerability to Water: The Spider Sketch Monster was harmed by the Fusion Ultrazord's water attack.
Arsenal[]
- Electric Tower: The Spider Sketch Monster tore an electric tower off the ground and tried to use it as a club, but it was knocked aside.
- Whistle: The Spider Sketch Monster also had a whistle, but what it could do is unknown since it was destroyed by the Fusion Ultrazord before it could be used.
- Arm Blades: While never used, the Spider Sketch Monster possesses blades on top of her arms for an aid in combat.
Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Though mainly grunts and growls, her voice sounds similar to Snageye and Nulleye, hinting Steve McCleary might have provided the voice effects.
Design[]
- As her name applies, she's a large spider-like Monster that's also crossed with a teapot and is mostly colored in yellow, black, orange, and white, with some purple in it.
Etymology[]
- As her name applies, Spider Sketch Monster's name is based on the words "Spider" and "Sketch".
Notes[]
- The Spider Sketch Monster only appears as a giant, whereas in Ryusoulger, the Arachne Minosaur appears human-sized and then grows giant. This is possibly because her footage as a human-sized monster could not be adapted as it spent too much time in a school with Japanese school children, unmorphed Ryusoulgers, and a human-sized Tyramigo when its US counterpart is not sentient.
- The Spider Sketch Monster is the second/final Monster-of-the-Week in the Power Rangers Dino Fury series not to be based off of a mythological creature, being based off of a spider, with the second being Tombtress.
- The Spider Sketch Monster is the second monster in Dino Fury who was not a Sporix Beast, with the first being Reaghoul.
- The Spider Sketch Monster is the first monster-of-the-week in the Power Rangers Dino Fury series to be the first of the following:
- Not have speech capabilities.
- Be fought as a giant but not fighting the Dino Fury Rangers human-sized.
- The Spider Sketch Monster is the first and only monster-of-the-week in the Power Rangers Dino Fury series to not be a Sporix Beast.
- Although more minor, the Spider Sketch Monster is the final monster overall in Season 1 of Power Rangers Dino Fury, the first monster fighting against the Rangers and Sentai counterpart to be a mindless beast, and the second monster in Dino Fury not to be a main or supporting antagonist in the episode.
- The Spider Sketch Monster is easily one of the weakest monsters in the entire Power Rangers Dino Fury series (even more so than Shockhorn and later on Hexcurio), given her lack of powers and how quickly she was defeated.
- With the exception of the shot featuring her sketch being drawn and grown, she appeared only in Sentai footage, making her the only monster in Power Rangers Dino Fury not to have any original footage.
