Vypra is one of the three demons in service and working to revive the Queen Bansheera and the only demon with a humanoid appearance. She wears serpentine armor and is adept in demonic magic.
Biography
Vypra was considered a motherly figure to the young Impus, but after he matured into Olympius she began to look down on him as an immature leader and resented his position of power.
She led several attacks on the Rangers, including the use of her Vyprari dune buggy. She primarily used a thin saber that could unleash energy disks. She almost never suffered injuries in her battles against the Rangers, but is not immortal. Her reaction to Carter's threat to shoot her implies that she can be mortally wounded and killed.
After Olympius lost favor with his mother, he discovered that Bansheera was considering promoting Loki and Vypra to second in command. He plotted to eliminate them by having Vilevine bury them alive. Loki and Vypra retaliated by resurrecting Diabolico from the dead to deal with him.
Fed up with her failures, Queen Bansheera told Vypra, outright, that, as punishment. she was planned to take her life energy. Fearing for her life, Vypra attempted to flee when Bansheera's power lifted her off the ground. Kicking and screaming, Vpyra tried in vain to escape her fate before she was absorbed into Bansheera's body, allowing the Queen to complete her transformation into her final form. In Rise of the Super Demons, Vypra is mentioned when Diabolico laments over the loss of Loki.
Return
In the Time Force episode, Time for Lightspeed, Vypra returns from the dead with an army of undead soldiers. She is seen digging herself out from a nondescript grave, but no explanation is given as to how she got there or how she managed to resurrect herself as she was absorbed into Bansheera's being. She forms an alliance with the mutant Ransik to obtain an artifact called the Solar Amulet.
With its Dark Magic from the Shadow World and the sun aligned perfectly with the stars, she used its power to revive the Super Demon Quarganon in Silver Hills. However, after a brief battle, she and Quarganon were killed by the Time Force and Lightspeed Rangers Battlizer attacks.
Notes
- While Vypra name and appearance is a reference to Viper, it may also refer to Wyvern since she is also shown to be able to breath fire unlike her counterpart Denus.
- Unlike her sentai counterpart, Vypra never created any aquatic monster and the only one of them, Aquafiend, was created by Diabolico. The only logical reason is that in Lightspeed Rescue, demons are weak against water and to give Aquafiend a special attribute.
