- ―ED theme lyric[src]
Zyudenryu #6 Pteragordon (獣電竜六号 プテラゴードン Jūdenryū Rokugō: Puteragōdon) is the Pteranodon-themed Zyudenryu that is partnered with Kyoryu Gold.
Overview[]
One of the Ten Great Zyudenryu, Pteragordon was a Pteranodon that agreed to be modified to fight the Deboth Army in ancient times, but was damaged in battle after its partner was "killed" and had to be sealed away on Gabutyra's island to heal.
Once inserted with its Zyudenchi, Pteragordon can summon storm clouds whose lightning bolts it can use to attack its opponent from multiple directions. It can also fire lightning from its mouth. These lightning bolts were colored purple during its corruption and later yellow after being purified. Pteragordon also has a visor on its head as well as the Pteraiden-Oh head. They were briefly turned down during its corruption, and it used them again to protect itself from Deathryuger's Dark Melody that corrupted Tobaspino, Ankydon and Bunpachy. If Utsusemimaru were to lose his Gaburichanger, Pteragordon is capable of building and supplying its replacement.
Appearances: Kyoryuger Episodes TBA
History[]
Pteragordon was among the 24 dinosaurs to be modified as a Zyudenryu by Wise God Torin. It was among the last 11 Zyudenryu that still stood to protect Earth after all 13 Guardians were slain by Dark Species Deboth, forcing Zyudenryu Bragigas to use the surviving Zyudenryu's Zyudenchi to activate its forbidden attack and seal Deboth within its heart.
In the Sengoku era, Pteragordon was partnered with Utsusemimaru while trying to protect it against Deboth Army lead by Chaos and Dogold. However, Pteragordon was greatly injured and sealed inside Gabutyra's island while Utsusemimaru was possessed by Dogold in a plan to control him centuries later.
In present day, Hundred-Faced High Priest Chaos created a evil-laced copy of Pteragordon's Zyudenchi, allowing him to undo Pteragordon's seal to complete his plot of controlling the Zyudenryu to destroy the Kyoryugers and humanity by handing its control over to Raging Knight Dogold. However, Pteragordon was freed from the forces from the Deboth Army when Utsusemimaru partner was infused with Brave energy from Torin, Daigo, and Ramirez and broke free of Dogold's control, allowing the Zyudenryu to destroy the fake Zyudenchi the Deboth Army had created, then rearmed its partner with the Gabrichanger and its true Zyudenchi.
Kaminari Henkei Pteraiden-Oh[]
- "Pteraiden-Oh! (Shamisen music)"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
Kaminari Henkei Pteraiden-Oh (雷変形プテライデンオー Kaminari Henkei Puteraidenō, Lightning Transformation Pteraiden King)) is the Zyuden Giant state of Pteragordon, known as "Pteragordon's strongest form".
Pteraiden-Oh is very sleek compared to Kyoryuzin, and because of this, it is a good deal faster and can deal out a lot of damage in a hurry with its Ptera Cutter (プテラカッター Putera Kattā) arm blades. However, because of Pteraiden-Oh's light frame, it cannot take a lot of damage. Also, it is somewhat weaker than Kyoryuzin.
One of its finishers is the Pteraiden-Oh Brave Finish (テライデンオーブレイブフィニッシュ Puteraiden'ō Bureibu Finisshu), where the Zyuden Giant fires a stream of lightning bolts from the Ptera Head (プテラヘッド Putera Heddo) cannon equipped to its chest. However, it is noticeably weaker then Kyoryuzin's own Brave Finishes, and as such, Pteraiden-Oh has to land another attack to fully destroy an enlarged monster.
When Pteraiden-Oh was under the Deboth Army's control, its visors were pulled down, and it wore a giant black cape. The black cape is also bulletproof, able to resist multiple shots from Zyudenryu Parasagun.
Appearances: Kyoryuger Episodes TBA
Additional Formations[]
Raiden Kamitsuki Gattai Raiden Kyoryuzin[]
- "Raiden Kyoryuzin! (Shamisen and samba music in harmony)"
- ―Combination announcement[src]
Raiden Kamitsuki Gattai Raiden Kyoryuzin (雷電カミツキ合体ライデンキョウリュウジン Raiden Kamitsuki Gattai Raiden Kyōryūjin, Thunder Biting Combination Thunder Dinosaur God) is the combination between Pteraiden-Oh and Kyoryuzin.
The majority of Pteragordon connects on to Kyoryuzin's back while the Zyudenryu's head replaces Kyoryuzin's standard helmet.
Armed with the power of flight from the Ptera Wings (プテラウイング Putera Uingu) and the Go-Ren Zyuden Ken, Raiden Kyoryuzin is peerless in the sky, now able to fight in the air without having to sacrifice strength in order to do so.
This combination's finisher is the Zyuden Ken Inazuma Brave Finish (獣電剣稲妻ブレイブフィニッシュ Jūden Ken Inazuma Bureibu Finisshu, Beast Charge Sword Lightning Brave Finish), where Raiden Kyoryuzin flies high into the air while the Kyoryugers channel electrical Brave to the Zyuden Ken. Once done, Raiden Kyoryuzin brings the electrified Zyuden Ken down with a mighty chop, slicing through the target.
Though Kyoryuzin is always in its default combo whenever it combines with Pteragordon to become Raiden Kyoryuzin, there is no reason why Pteragordon shouldn't be able to combine with Kyoryuzin in all its other combos (e.g. Western, Macho, Kung-Fu). However, it might be because of who Pteragordon's partner is.
Appearances: 12, 14, 16, Gaburincho of Music, 22-23, 33.5, Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters, 41, 43

Pteraiden-Oh Ankydon[]
Pteraiden-Oh Ankydon (プテライデンオーアンキドン Puteraidenō Ankidon) is the Biting Combination of Pteragordon and Ankydon. This combination was used as a one-two attack plan against an enhanced Cambrima, who was on even strength with Kyoryuzin Macho due to their similar weapons, with Pteraiden-Oh's part of the plan was to use the Ankydon Hammer to smash the Cambrima's kanabo, though the Zyuden Giant had to spin into the air for momentum for the proper amount of force.
Appearances: 15, 42

Etymology[]
All of the Zyudenryu/Zyudenchi sport a name that is a portmanteau between their effect/motif and their respective animal name; Pteragordon is a portmanteau of "Pteranodon" and "Gorogoro" (the Japanese onomatopoeic word for "rumble"; often used in the context of thunder).
Pteragordon's Zyuden Giant name contains the word "Raiden" (雷電 ), which means "Thunder and Lightning" - in this case, it is connected to "Pteranodon" to form a portmanteau: "Pteraiden". This ties in with the electric naming schemes most of the Kyoryugers' gear follows.
Zyudenchi[]
- Pteragordon Zyudenchi (プテラゴードン獣電池 Puteragōdon Jūdenchi): 6 golden Zyudenchi holding the Kyoryu Spirit of the Pteranodon; the Deboth Army made a functioning evil fake to control Pteragordon, but the real ones were reused by Kyoryu Gold upon the Kyoryuger's freedom.
- Pteragordon Spirit Ranger Gold ver. (プテラゴードン スピリットレンジャーゴールドver. Puteragodon Supiritto Renjā Gōrudo Bājon): a clear version of the Pteragordon Zyudenchi that when used in the Gabrichanger allows Kyoryu Gold to enter Armed Mode and gain access to a stronger version of his Zandar Thunder called the Golder Zandar Thunder.
Notes[]
- Pteragordon is the first Zyudenryu that is capable of assuming a Zyuden Giant form all on its own.
- In the South Korean Kyoryuger dub, "Power Rangers Dino Force", Pteraiden-Oh is renamed "Ptera King". Like the other Zyudenryu, Pteragordon its is not renamed. [1]
- Pteragordon is the first Zyudenryu that is not a dinosaur.
