When Lord Zedd unleashes Primator — a shape‑shifting brute who can mimic anyone — Angel Grove is thrown into a whirlwind of false faces and mixed signals. As the Rangers scramble to tell friend from foe, Skull becomes convinced he’s destined to reveal himself as the “real” White Ranger, dragging Bulk into his latest misguided quest for glory. With impostors on the loose and egos running wild, the team must outsmart a monster who can become any one of them before the city falls for his ultimate deception.

Monster Introductions this Episode
Primator
Primator is a master of mimicry, twisting his form into perfect copies of friend or foe, turning trust into a weapon. Behind every reflection lurks his true self—brutish strength, feral cunning, and a grin that knows exactly how much chaos he can cause before revealing the truth. When Primator enters the battlefield, nothing—and no one—can be taken at face value.
