“ I'm going to destroy them with my bare tentacles. „ ~ Scorpius.

**Scorpius** is an alien warlord and the main antagonist of the first half and a posthumous antagonist of the second half of *Power Rangers Lost Galaxy*

He was voiced by Kim Strauss who also voiced/portrayed Jinxer in *Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue*.

## Personality

When it comes to the conquest of the galaxy, Scorpius is a cold and ruthless warlord as shown when he destroys the Magna Defender's home planet and mercilessly kills his son Zika, when the latter tries to attack him.

He is a very strict father when it came to his daughter Trakeena, as shown when he gets angry at Trakeena due to her not wanting to enter the Cocoon out of fear for her beauty, to the point he tries to force her to enter, only for her to escape the Scorpion Stinger and flee to Onyx and be trained by Villamax shortly afterwards.

Despite this strictness however, he truly cared for her as he will often not let her be involved in his evil acts out of fear for her safety. This soon became apparent in Heir to the Throne when he thought the Rangers kidnapped her due to manipulation by Deviot, he then promptly went to Terra Venture and confronted the Rangers himself, and angrily demanded to know where Trakeena was. He refused to listen to the Rangers when they legitimately had no idea what he was talking about and attacked them, which led to his destruction and death at the hands of Leo Corbett.

## History

3000 years ago, Scorpius attacked the Magna Defender’s homeworld and killed his son, Zika. He began searching the universe for sources of power and eventually sent his general, Furio, to get the Quasar Sabers. However, this quest resulted in the creation of Scorpius’ greatest enemy, the Galaxy Power Rangers. He later began sending his forces to Terra Venture to try and find the powerful Lights of Orion. However, the Magna Defender appeared and began battling Scorpius as well, with the Lights eventually ending up with the Rangers, making them even more powerful than before. His daughter,Trakeena

Scorpius eventually created a cocoon for his daughter that would transform her into a more insect-like creature like him and increase her power greatly. Trakeena refused to enter it since she didn’t want to lose her mortal beauty and when Scorpius attempted to force her, she ran away. Soon after, Deviot came aboard the Scorpion Stinger and he was appointed as the overlord’s new general. However, he actually wanted to enter the cocoon in order to gain its power and plotted against his new master. Scorpius was eventually tricked by Deviot into believing that the Power Rangers were holding Trakeena hostage and he ambushed the rangers with an army of Stingwingers. Scorpius proved to be a challenging opponent, but the rangers eventually managed to grab his tentacles to hold him in place, allowing Leo to deliver the final blow. Now on the verge of death, Scorpius was about to give Deviot his place and have him enter the cocoon when Trakeena returned. After reconciling with his daughter, the insect overlord died giving her his powers by forming his remaining tentacle into a new staff for her.
