Terror Tooth was a ravenous spiked snapping turtle monster who served as the main antagonist of the episode "The Millennium Message".
History
Terror Tooth is first seen in the monster army when Divatox rallies her monsters and Piranhatrons to attack Earth and destroy the Turbo Rangers to avenge the destruction of Maligore. TV STORY-Shift Into Turbo
After the Blue Senturion is made to see the Turbo Rangers as enemies, he attacks Tommy but Kat tries to convince him that they aren't evil. Not wanting her to convince the Blue Senturion, Divatox asks Porto if he has a "spare monster" to eat her. Porto then points out Terror Tooth who is gnawing on some electrical wires in the Subcraft so she sends him to attack Kat. However, Tommy rescues her and the other Turbo Rangers blast the monster before Kat is given her Turbo Wind Fire to blast and badly injure Terror Tooth.
After the Blue Senturion's programming is restored, Divatox fires the torpedoes to give Terror Tooth a giant appetite so the monster grows and grabs the Blue Senturion to eat him.
Seeing this, the Turbo Rangers summon the Turbo Megazord which punches back Terror Tooth and shoots him with the Headlight Blaster. Although Terror Tooth survives, he is shrunk back down to human size so some Piranhatrons appear to help him.
The Rangers and Blue Senturion arrive and shoot him with the Senturion Synergizer and Auto Blasters which knocks down Terror Tooth who immediately teleports away.
Shortly after, once a detonator within the Senturion explodes and seemingly kills him, Terror Tooth returns as a giant with additional armor and a new visor. The Turbo Rangers use the Turbo R. A. M. against him but he is unfazed and he pulls out a giant cleaver which he uses to smack them down.
Before he can cut them apart though, he is suddenly struck by laser blasts from the new Robo Racer piloted by the Blue Senturion who is still alive. After shooting Terror Tooth more, he turns his Zord into Battle Mode which is able to beat down the monster.
Although it restrains Terror Tooth with a handcuff, the monster blasts him with lightning but a second attempt to do so fails due to the Racer Zord's riot shield. The Robo Racer then pulls out its Synergizer and unleashes a devastating hail of laser blasts that obliterates Terror Tooth. TV STORY-The Millennium Message
A year later, Terror Tooth is seen amongst the's forces who invade the Phantom Ranger's home planet in the United Alliance of Evil's invasion of the universe. How he returned is unknown but, when Zordon's Energy Wave washes over the planet, he and the rest of the Machine Empire are reduced to dust. TV STORY-Countdown to Destruction

Terror Tooth was a cruel, ruthless, barbaric, gluttonous and sadistic monster loyal to Divatox who stopped at nothing to destroy the Turbo Rangers and Blue Senturion. He didn't talk, only spoke in speaking in snarls and grunts but enjoyed eating and was willing to eat everyone and everything.
