 This article is about a monster in Power Rangers Mystic Force.
|
The Taxi Cab Monster is a shape-shifting insectoid beast and is one of the many creatures of the Underworld. This monster serves Necrolai and can shapeshift into a taxi cab. He serves as the secondary antagonist of the episode "Fire Heart" (with Necrolai being the main antagonist).
History[]
Taxi to monster transformation.
The Taxi Cab monster works for Necrolai. This taxi-like monster first appeared in Briarwood and stole the map to the Fire Heart from a scientist.
He then delivered the map to Necrolai in a parking garage, but Nick and Vida showed up to put a stop to them. The Taxi monster then turned into his true monster form and fought the Red and Pink Rangers. But the two Rangers were quickly defeated, and when the others showed up, Necrolai assisted the monster, allowing them both to escape.
The Taxi then accompanied Necrolai and some Hidiacs into the Cimmerian Forest in search of the Fire Heart. Once Nick and Vida found the Fire Heart Scroll, Necrolai stole it from them and had the Taxi attack them. The Red Ranger managed to defeat the monster's vehicle form, thanks to the Mystic Speeder. Then together, Nick and Vida defeated and destroyed the Taxi monster with their combine attacks.
However, Koragg cast his spell, reviving and enlarging the beast. The Rangers morphed into their Mystic Titan forms and battled the Undead Vehicle. After forcing the Taxi Monster out of his true form with the Mystic Sprite's Ball Attack, this monster was finally destroyed with the Titan Megazord's Mystic Spell Seal.
Personality[]
Taxi Cab Monster in his taxi cab form.
Similar to the Dark Troll/Rock Troll and Mucor previously, the Taxi Cab Monster doesn't have a big personality. He is shown to be very violent, sinister, villainous, devious and horrifying creature that will do anything to destroy the Rangers. He isn't smart and clever, only speaks in roars. He is also very stubborn, and wants destroy the Mystic Rangers without thinking of a plan. But he is also very loyal to Necrolai.
