Monster Introductions this Episode
Slippery Shark
Created by Finster and armed with a spell‑casting boomerang, this razor‑toothed menace slices through the ground like water, erupting from below to strike with shocking precision. One hit from his enchanted fin can twist even the closest allies into bitter rivals, making every battle a chaotic clash of divided loyalties. When Slippery Shark surfaces, the Rangers aren’t just fighting a monster—they’re fighting each other.
