Character History
Like Scaraba before him, Yuffo is summoned by Admiral Malkor after Vrak's suggestion and Creepox's irritation due to the delay of the insect invasion by the Mega Rangers. He was an alien scientist who attempts to capture humans to conduct experiments. His abilities include being able to trap people in a cocoon-like substance and being able to split himself into five small UFOs to evade enemies. He is sent to study the humans and learn their weaknesses before the insect invasion proceeds any further. He was confronted by Gia and Jake after they followed his UFO components to the beach and summoned Loogies which were easily defeated. Nevertheless, he is able to hold his own in a battle and proves to be much stronger than Scaraba. He is first beaten by the Megaforce Blaster's Dynamic Victory Charge but Vrak then sends the Zombats to make him grow and overwhelmed the Rangers with energy blasts. However, Gosei introduced the Rangers to thier Gosei Mechazords which they swiftly summon to do battle. Yuffo seperated into his UFO forms and took them on but it proved completely useless and they easily overwhelmed the hord. He was then formed back into his monster form with a headache and the Rangers then formed the Gosei Great Megazord. He tried to destroy it with a massive energy blast but it was unaffected and overwhelmed him by launching forth the Zord heads at him. They then activated the Megazord's Victory Charge, restraining Yuffo with a barrage of cards and obliterating him with the Mega Strike. TV STORY-He Blasted Me With Science

Personality
Yuffo is a scientist who serves Warstar. He respects Malkor. He is very snide when regarding the Mega Rangers. Unlike most Insectoids, he possesses a mostly calm and polite demeanor towards friend and foe alike, characteristically of a scientist rather than a fighter. However, his intellect is not enough to counteract their newfound might, which leads to his demise.
