"(Rita Repulsa): Squatt! Where are you?! Nap time's over!
(Squatt): Er, right behind you, my most menacing Matriarch!"

―Rita summoning Squatt to watch the battle against the Rangers in 2001.^[src]

Squatt was one of the henchmen who served under the command of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd in the alternate universe series, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return.

History

Squatt's history in The Return closely follows the TV series. In 1994, Lord Zedd fell under the spell of Rita Repulsa's love potion that she used to compel Zedd to obey her.

In the year 2000, Zedd and Rita tied the knot with sinister plans for the future. After a year of planning, they launched an attack in Serpentera on the Command Center and completely destroyed it, killing Zordon and Alpha 5 in the process. Tommy suggested that they take the fight to Rita and Zedd on the Moon in retaliation for the death of their allies, intending on ending the two villains once and for all. COMIC STORY- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30th Anniversary Comic Special

During the Rangers assault on the Moon, Kimberly and Tommy infiltrated the Moon Palace with plans to set off the Benevolator, a device that the Rangers made filled with Morphin Grid Energy that would theoretically incapacitate the enemy of all evil by releasing a wave of purification. Rita discovered the Green and Pink Rangers in her bedchamber. She zapped Tommy with her wand, sending him flying into the Benevolator. She then relentlessly casted magic blasts, gloating in triumph. Just as she was about to kill Tommy, powering up her wand with a huge amount of energy, Squatt witnessed Kimberly firing an arrow that pierced her heart, killing her. Just as Lord Zedd was celebrating his assumed impending victory, Squatt rushed in and gave him the tragic news that his wife was dead as the Benevolator detonated.

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.
