"Monarch of the Deep Forest! Zyuoh Elephant! (森林の王者!ジュウオウエレファント! Shinrin no Ōja! Jūō Erefanto!)"
―Zyuoh Elephant's roll call[src]

Tusk (タスク Tasuku) is an elephant Zyuman from Zyuland who, using the transformed King's Credential he was entrusted with, became Zyuoh Elephant (ジュウオウエレファント Jūō Erefanto), the Green Ranger of the Zyuohgers also known in Korean dub as Elephant Ranger in Power Rangers Animal Force.

History[]

Zyuohger[]

Childhood[]

Tusk and dad

Tusk stands before the Link Cube with his father.

Tusk's father was a guardian of the Link Cube before him, and the young Tusk would stand alongside him in keeping watch over the Link Cube. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 2: Don’t Underestimate this Planet

Tusk dad reading

Tusk's father reads him a story about an elephant in a Zyuland forest.

As a child, Tusk grew a love for reading books thanks to his father, who would read stories to the young Tusk. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 12: The Short-Nose Elephant

Guarding the Link Cube[]

Along with Sela, Leo, and Amu, Tusk was assigned as a guardian to the Link Cube, which had been left dormant following the taking of one of the six King's Credentials. As such, Tusk was entrusted with one of the King's Credentials. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Exciting Animal Land

Tusk grew frustrated with Leo and Amu, who he found to be complacent in their task of guarding the Link Cube, taking issue with Leo's habit of staying up late which would result in him being tired while on duty, and Amu's practice of decorating her guardian's spear with ribbons to make it look cute, leading him to harshly scold them both. Tusk was consoled by Sela, who suggested that while he may be right, there may a better way of getting his point across. Tusk understood Sela's sentiment, but would find executing it easier said than done. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 21: Prison Break

Zyuohger Returns[]

Tusk was in the library when he received his invitation to the Monarch of the World Tournament, having committed to finishing every book in there before doing any other activities. He chooses to chaperone Peruru to the tournament along with Amu but not to participate. While Leo and Sela are recovering, Tusk learns from Yamato about the underground casino and the true identity of Pocane Daniro as a Deathgalien. He joins Yamato and Amu in an undercover sting at the casino, using his wits to win many rounds of Mahjong in an effort to empty the casino of all money. Movieicon MOVIE STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger Returns: Life Received!

Personality[]

Tusk is an elephant Zyuman and the most intelligent of the four Zyumans that traveled to the Human World. Though he seems like the insensitive, unapproachable-type, he's actually extremely kind. In addition, he has a sharp sense of smell. When something interests him, Tusk would openly show his interest in them. He also likes to learn anything that he didn't know or see before like human knowledge, Zyuoh The LightGunRod, these three Zyuoh Cubes, Ninjutsu and magic.

His strength in this form is enhanced to the point where his bare strikes forms small shockwaves.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Zyuman Power (ジューマンパワー Jūman Pawā): The natural energy of individual Zyumen, they can bestow this energy upon other lifeforms to heal them via a King's Credential, granting the potential to unlock Zyuman powers as a side-effect in humans. However, this would come at the cost of the Zyuman's life force, thus shortening their lifespan. The process is also evidently irreversible.
  • Disguise: After being stranded in the human world, Tusk is granted his own human form by his King's Credential which protects his identity as Zyuman. Following this, Tusk can change from Zyuman to human and back at will. However, his disguise bears one exposing flaw in that he retains his elephant tail.
  • Earth's Energy: As a defender of all living organisms on Earth, Tusk was bestowed with the Earth's Energy, which not only restored his damaged Zyuoh Changer, but also granted him superpowers, like:
    • Superhuman Strength: Even in their civilian form, the Zyuohgers together were able to punch back Shin Ginis.
Attacks[]
  • Zyuoh Slash (ジュウオウスラッシュ Jūō Surashhu): After pressing the trigger on the Zyuoh Buster to charge up its energy, Zyuoh Elephant and the other Zyuohgers transform into a giant claw that slashes the opponent.
  • Zyuoh Shoot (ジュウオウシュート Jūō Shūto): After pressing the trigger on the Zyuoh Buster to charge up its energy, Zyuoh Elephant shoots a spinning cube shaped energy blast, similar to the Zyuoh Buster's normal projectile but larger and more solid.

Abilities[]

  • Sixth Sense: As a Zyuman guardian, Tusk can sense malicious presences such as the Deathgalien which are signaled by his tail standing erect.
  • Hypersomia: As an elephant Zyuman, Tusk possesses an intensely strong sense of smell which he can use to track others. He retains his sense in his human form. However, this means he is easily overwhelmed by items with a strong odor, such as nattō (the stench of which is enough to temporarily cancel his human disguise).
  • Prehensile Snout: In his Zyuman form, Tusk can use his trunk as a grasping tool. The trunk can also stretch beyond its usual length to grab items that would normally be out of reach.
