Strikning is a a electrical skeleton demon in the service of Diabolico and the primary villain of the episode "Cyborg Rangers". He shoots out magnetic spikes that magically attract lightning.
History[]
Strikning was summoned by Diabolico to destroy the city with his spike and lightning abilities. In the first battle with the Rangers, he attacked Mariner Bay with army of Batlings and easily defeated the Lightspeed Rangers, but he gets ambushed by the New Cyborg Rangers and was forced to retreat.
Later, he returned and battled with the Cyborg Rangers and managed to scramble their circuits, causing them to go haywire and attack the people, which meant that the Lightspeed Rangers needed to be called upon to destroy the Cyborg Rangers.
Later, Strikning appeared again and fought the Rangers again but was destroyed by the Rescue Bird.
The demon was revived and enlarged by Jinxer and the Lightspeed Megazord was summoned. Strikning hit the Lightspeed Megazord with the spikes and the Rangers quickly grabbed the monster with the Megazord's ladder arms and lifted him off the ground, which conducted the lightning attack through them and right back at the monster. They finally destroyed him with the Lightspeed Megazord Saber.
