This article is about a villain in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. |
- "I think I don't know what I think, Your Evilness!"
- ―Squatt[src]
Squatt was a servant of Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa, the dimwitted sidekick of Baboo. Squatt was a short, blue-skinned hobgoblin-like creature with a large horn. He wore metal armor.
History
Mighty Morphin
Squatt was rather excitable, and may act like an eager child when Rita had a plan, or when the Rangers were having trouble in a battle. Squatt was easily frightened by his bosses' bad tempers. Squatt was a coward and, rather than fight, he along with Baboo, would accompany Goldar, Scorpina and monsters as they attacked the Earth and cheer them on. However, he often went to Earth when there was no fight going on because his main duties were acting as a spy and saboteur.
Squatt later left the Moon with Zedd and Rita when they fled from the Machine Empire. He was seen in "Countdown to Destruction" among Rita and Zedd's forces, although it is unclear whether he was purified or destroyed when Zordon's Energy Wave struck.[1]
In Space
Years later, Squatt appears again helping Zedd and Rita conquer the Vica Galaxy. Before victory can be achieved, Ecliptor appears in the sky to announce that Dark Specter has been destroyed and that Astronema is now the Queen of Evil. TV STORY-Countdown to Destruction, Part 1
The following day, after Andros the Red Space Ranger destroyed Zordon's energy tube, freeing a great golden wave of energy that goes through the universe. Squatt was turned to dust off-screen, alongside the majority of other villains of the United Alliance of Evil.
The Lost Episode
Squatt was seen in archive footage, along with various Villains and Rangers, when Austin St. John and Walter Jones related about the Power Rangers' team from Mighty Morphin until the recently Lost Galaxy. TV STORY-The Lost Episode
Dino Thunder
Squatt was featured in a chronicle of Power Ranger history compiled by Tommy Oliver shortly after he formed the Dino Rangers, which was found by the nascent Ranger team in the Dino Lab. TV STORY-Legacy of Power
Personality
While Rita considers everyone beneath her "dummies", Squatt is basically the most idiotic member of the villain group he's in, as he tends to ask stupid questions such as whether or not to bring a swimsuit for an Earth invasion. Despite his stupidity, he can do simple jobs such as spying, sabotage, and stealing rather well once he's properly motivated. In "Rita's Seed of Evil", it is revealed that Rita promised him a tube of glow in the dark toothpaste if she's pleased enough with him, which indicate that Squatt has an interest in quirky things that might be radioactive.

Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
- Squatt was voiced by Michael Sorich.
- Merchandise showed Squatt with a blunderbuss, a weapon he would never be seen wielding in the show.
Design
- Squatt's dials constantly monitored the gasses in the air, but he would forget to monitor the dials; overexposure to oxygen caused horns to sprout all over his body and his brain to burst through his helmet.
- Despite having some wearing goggles on his helmet, he is never seen using them in any of his appearances.
Etymology
- His name was originally going to be Grock. [Citation needed]
- The comics gives an explanation for his name, where he is described as 'squatt' as a baby in GGPR #6
Notes
- Squatt is one of the few characters that never appeared in the movie Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, replaced by a similar character called Mordant.
- Squatt is one of secondary antagonists to have the most appearances in Zordon's era and in the entire Power Rangers series.
