Goldar

Goldar was a gorilla/griffin warrior of the Evil Space Aliens.
== History ==
Goldar's origins are unknown but he came to serve Lord Zedd at some point and was assigned to help his servant Rita Repulsa. Sometime during his service, he failed Zedd and was stripped of his wings until he could prove himself to be worthy. After many years of conflict, Rita lured her foe to a supposed peace talk where she managed to trap him in an other dimensional time warp. However she and her minions were trapped themselves by Zordon in a Space Dumpster.
After 10,000 years of imprisonment, the Evil Space Aliens are freed by a pair of astronauts who find her dumpster on the Moon in 1993. Now free to take control of Earth, Rita re-establishes herself on the forgotten Moon Palace where Finster begins making new Putties. Whilst the first batch are sent to harass five teenagers summoned by Zordon, Goldar sends another army to attack Angel Grove but the five teenagers become the new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and repel the initial attack. From this point onwards, Rita begins sending down monsters to attack the planet and Goldar often accompanies them but this fails every time.
== Personality ==
Unlike many other henchmen, Goldar was one of the few who was capable of holding his own against the entire Power Ranger team. As time went by in the series, Goldar's character became less threatening and more comical, especially in the first feature film. He was a dangerous fighter initially, being able to defeat the original team in battle single-handedly. Later, however, he began to lose his edge, with Jason handing him his first major defeat in the episode Missing Green. After this point he was apparently less powerful, losing to the Rangers more and more in combat and eventually abandoned all pretense of a serious threat to become overly comedic.
== Powers and Abilities ==
* Power Level: Goldar was the fourth most powerful member of the Evil Space Aliens, stronger than Squatt, Baboo, and Finster and roughly on par with Rito Revolto. However, Rita, Zedd, and Master Vile were all still much stronger than him.
* Strength: Goldar seriously shook up the Dino Megazord's cockpit with a single slash and an extremely powerful double kick was enough to knock back the Dino Megazord. Later on, in episodes such as "Eclipsing Megazord" and "Crystal of Nightmares", he was strong enough to take down the Megazord with Scorpina's help.
* Durability: Goldar was struck by the energised Power Sword and Thunder Saber and a fireball from the White Tigerzord in Warrior Mode only made him and Scorpina fall down.
* Agility: Whilst fighting the Dino Megazord for the first time, Goldar was able to quickly dodge around the Megazord and land some blows without being hit.
* Longevity: Goldar lived for at least 10,000 years without any negative side effects.
* Teleportation: Goldar could make himself vanish into thin air so that he can avoid attacks. Starting with Season 2, he always left in a large cloud of orange flame although he vanished in the same way as Season 1 in the episode "Goldar's Vice-Versa."
* Putty Summoning: Goldar could summon both versions of the Putty Patrol to aid him in fighting the Rangers.
** Tenga Summoning: After the Tenga Warriors replaced the Putties as the foot soldiers of Rita and Zedd, Goldar was able to freely summon them as well.
* Eye Fireballs: Goldar could shoot fireball blasts from his eyes which were powerful enough to cause massive explosions around Jason whilst fleeing from him and King Sphinx. When combined with Scorpina's claw barrage, it took down the Thunder Megazord and forced the White Tigerzord back into its default Tiger Mode.
* Self Growth-In the episode "A Star is Born," Goldar and Scorpina clearly enlarged themselves to aid Babe Ruthless given Rita being under the weather.
* Master Hand to Hand Combatant: Goldar was not as good at hand to hand combat as he is at swordsmanship but was still easily able to take down all five Rangers (although Tommy was almost always able to overpower him).
* Master Swordsman: Goldar was better than any other villain at combat with a weapon, perhaps even more than Rita but excluding Zedd. Goldar constantly failed to beat Tommy in his Green Ranger form whilst Zedd could overpower him in his more powerful White Ranger form without breaking a sweat.
== Appearances ==
* Dragon Ball Super: Cooler
* Sailor Moon: Love and Power
