The eponymous Zyurangers are five warriors from an ancient civilization of humans that evolved from dinosaurs and coexisted with them. The team was kept in suspended animation for 170 million years by their mentor Barza until their nemesis Bandora was accidentally released from her prison on the planetoid Nemesis. A sixth member later joins the team after being revived from suspended animation. The team utilize Dino Bucklers (ダイノバックラー, Daino Bakkurā) in order to transform. While transformed, each Zyuranger wields the Ranger Stick (レンジャースティック, Renjā Sutikku), which can switch between its Ranger Sword (レンジャーソード, Renjā Sōdo) and Ranger Gun (レンジャーガン, Renjā Gan) modes, the Legendary Weapons (伝説の武器, Densetsu no Buki), and the Thunder Slingers (サンダースリンガー, Sandā Suringā). The Zyurangers also ride Zaurer Machine (ザウラーマシン, Zaurā Mashin) motorcycles.
The primary Zyurangers use the Howling Cannon (ハウリングキャノン, Hauringu Kyanon), the combined form of the Legendary Weapons, to finish off human-sized Dora Monsters. The Ranger Sticks are used for the Babel Attack (バベルアタック, Baberu Atakku) finisher by having the Zyurangers form a human tower, bringing the tips of each Ranger Stick toward the center and then shooting a combined, powerful energy blast. The Thunder Slingers can also combine with the Ranger Guns to form the Ranger Slingers (レンジャースリンガー, Renjā Suringā), which are used for the Final Shot (ファイナルショット, Fainaru Shotto) finisher by having the Zyurangers shoot their Ranger Slingers simultaneously at the target.
Geki (ゲキ) is the 24-year-old prince of the Yamato Tribe (ヤマト族, Yamato Zoku) who is known as the "Warrior of Justice" (正義の戦士, Seigi no Senshi) and fights as the red-colored Tyranno Ranger (ティラノレンジャー, Tirano Renjā). Geki is the leader of the Zyurangers who is the younger brother of Burai and has a strong sense of justice. Though he was raised by the King and Queen of the Yamato Tribe, he was actually adopted by them after his birth father rebelled against the Yamato King and was forced to give Geki up for adoption as punishment for his insubordination. His birth father used this as an opportunity to challenge the King and reclaim Geki, only to be killed by the King. Geki learns the truth after meeting Burai. Geki's Legendary Weapon is the Ryugeki Sword (龍撃剣, Ryūgekiken, Dragon Fierce Sword) and his Guardian Beast is Tyrannosaurus. He also rides Road Zaurer 1 (ロードザウラー1, Rōdo Zaurā Wan). Geki inherits Burai's powers after his death, allowing him to transform into Armed Tyranno Ranger (アームドティラノレンジャー, Āmudo Tirano Renjā) where he wears Burai's Dragon Armor and wields his Zyusouken to summon Dragon Caesar.
During the events of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters: The Great Dinosaur Battle! Farewell Our Eternal Friends, Geki is kidnapped by Neo-Grifforzar so his Dino Hope can be extracted for Voldos, but is saved by the Kyoryugers. Geki and his team then join forces with the Abarangers, Kyoryugers and Go-Busters in order to defeat their common enemy.

Goushi (ゴウシ, Gōshi) is a 27-year-old knight of the Sharma Tribe (シャーマ族, Shāma Zoku) who is known as the "Warrior of Wisdom" (知恵の戦士, Chie no Senshi) and fights as the black-colored Mammoth Ranger (マンモスレンジャー, Manmosu Renjā). Calm, cool, and collected, Goushi is the team's second-in-command and his wisdom allows him to come up with strategies to save his teammates whenever they're cornered. He lost his parents when he was young and was raised by his older sister, who died while fighting Bandora's forces after Goushi reached adulthood. He uses grappling techniques during battles and his Legendary Weapon is the Moth Breaker (モスブレイカー, Mosu Bureikā) battle axe, which can be converted into an alternate rifle mode. His Guardian Beast is Zyu Mammoth and rides the Side Zaurer 2 (サイドザウラー2, Saido Zaurā Tsū), which has a sidecar for Boi. Goushi appeared in the final episode of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, receiving his powers back in the form of the Mammoth Ranger Key as the Gokaigers left Earth.
Goushi is portrayed by Seiju Umon (右門 青寿, Umon Seiju), credited under his real name Aohisa Takayasu (高安 青寿, Takayasu Aohisa).
Dan (ダン) is a 19-year-old knight of the Etoffe Tribe (エトフ族, Etofu Zoku) who is known as the "Warrior of Courage" (勇気の戦士, Yūki no Senshi) and fights as the blue-colored Tricera Ranger (トリケラレンジャー, Torikera Renjā). He is 19 years old and a courageous warrior who is willing to stand up for himself against the enemy, although he has a tendency to rush into dangerous situations without thinking things through. He is a cheerful character who serves as the team's comic relief. His Legendary Weapon is the double-bladed Trice-Lance (トリケランス, Torikeransu) trident that can separate in half to form a pair of spears, which are shortened when used as part of the Howling Cannon, and his Guardian Beast is Triceratops.

Boi is the youngest and most curious member of the team. He is also the most energetic and has greater reflexes than the others. Due to his young age, Boi is often befriended by children despite being mature for his age.

Although a gentle and loving young woman, Mei is also a warrior who refuses to lose, no matter how dire the situation is. Her Legendary Weapon is the Ptera Arrow (プテラアロー, Putera Arō) bow and her Guardian Beast is the Pteranodon.
Mei is portrayed by Reiko Chiba (千葉 麗子, Chiba Reiko).
Burai (ブライ) is the 32-year-old knight of the Yamato Tribe who is known as the "Warrior of Power" (力の戦士, Chikara no Senshi) and fights as the green-colored Dragon Ranger (ドラゴンレンジャー, Doragon Renjā, 17-42) He is the oldest Zyuranger and is Geki's biological older brother, whom he was separated from when Geki was still an infant after his birth father was forced to hand Geki over to the Yamato Tribe's King and Queen after rebelling against him. Burai's father then used this as an opportunity to challenge the King in order to reclaim Geki, only to be defeated. Before dying, he told Burai to avenge his death. Burai froze himself in a separate sleeping chamber from the others and is the last Zyuranger to be revived in the present day. After awakening in the present day, Burai discovers that he is living on borrowed time and preserves his lifespan by staying inside the Timeless Room after the cave he originally froze himself in collapsed and was revived by Clotho. After fighting against the Zyurangers for a while with the Hellfried sword as his weapon, Burai reconciles with Geki and joins the team. Burai eventually dies after helping the others and passes his powers onto Geki.
Unlike the primary Zyurangers, Burai utilizes the Dragon Buckler (ドラゴンバックラー, Doragon Bakkurā) to transform into Dragon Ranger. While transformed, he is adorned with the golden Dragon Armor (ドラゴンアーマー, Doragon Āmā), which allows him to fire an energy blast from his hands. His Guardian Beast is the Godzilla-like Dragon Caesar, which he summons using the Zyusouken (獣奏剣, Jūsōken, Beast Play Sword), a short sword that doubles as a flute and teleports its owner to the Timeless Room.
During the events of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Burai appeared in a vision to Gai Ikari/Gokai Silver and granted him the Greater Power of the Zyurangers, which is the dinosaur-themed mecha GouZyu Rex.
Burai is portrayed by Shiro Izumi (和泉 史郎, Izumi Shirō) who previously played Yuuma Oozora in Dengeki Sentai Changeman. As a child, Burai is portrayed by Hisashi Sakai (酒井 寿, Sakai Hisashi) who later portrayed Kou of the Howling New Star in Gosei Sentai Dairanger.
Mysterious Sage Barza (不思議仙人バーザ, Fushigi Sennin Bāza) is an immortal white wizard who serves as the Zyurangers' mentor. He watched over the Zyurangers during their long sleep while masquerading as the landlord of the Sakura Condominium, where the underground temple of the Zyurangers is located.
Barza is portrayed by Jun Tatara (多々良 純, Tatara Jun).
Gnome (妖精ノーム, Yōsei Nōmu, 8, 17 & 18) is the King of the Elves and an old friend of Barza's. During the Dora Circe battle, Gnome saves the Zyurangers before making them accept his challenge of eating all the food on the table he conjured. Though Boi manages to finish the last ounce of food, it is his selfless motivation that convinces Gnome to give them the Moly.
Gnome is also the keeper of Burai's key, hoping that Burai would simply never be revived. When his grandson Ryuta takes the key, Gnome attempts to stop him even it means killing his grandson.
Gnome is portrayed by Rikiya Iwaki (岩城 力也, Iwaki Rikiya).
Lamp Fairy Gin (ランプの精・ジン, Ranpu no Sei Jin, 11) is a jackal-like genie who has the power to grant wishes. He ends up in the hands of four children whom he becomes fond friends with. He is revealed to be the genie from the tale of "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp" which he confirms was factual. Bandora manages to steal the lamp, shattering it in the process. However, while the Zyurangers and the children help Gin gather the lamp pieces, Bandora creates a personal lamp for him which sucks Djinn in and turns him into the monster known as Dora Gin (ドーラジン, Dōra Jin). After his original lamp is restored, Mei destroys Bandora's evil one causing Djinn to return to his true lamp and be restored normal. He is then sealed away for a time to keep his powers from being used for evil until the threat of Bandora is over.
Gin is voiced by Eisuke Yoda (依田 英助, Yoda Eisuke).
Fairy DonDon (妖精ドンドン, Yōsei Dondon) is a troll-like elf who applies for a job to be Pleprechuan's assistant, but is kicked out by Bandora. DonDon meets a kindred spirit in Toshio, a boy who gets frequently picked on by his overly-strict mother. They become friends and go around sucking things into DonDon's magic bottles — including planes and buildings with people inside. After seeing DonDon trapping Boi and Dan in his bottle, Bandora decides to recruit DonDon, promising both him and Toshio the power to get back at all the people who push them around. However, the Zyurangers manage to convince Toshio and DonDon that there are people who care about them. After he and Toshio return everything to normal, DonDon goes on his way, but not before giving Toshio a black & gold toy replica of Daizyuzin.
DonDon is voiced by Osamu Kato (加藤 治, Katō Osamu).
Ryota (良太, Ryōta) is Gnome's grandson. 170 million years ago, Burai saved him from a rock that threatened to crush him. In the present day while living among humans in secret, Ryota takes Gnome's key and unseals Burai against his grandfather's wishes, but feels betrayed after seeing how cruel Burai has become.
Ryota is portrayed by Hiroki Uemura (上村 裕樹, Uemura Hiroki).
After the war with Bandora ended, the heads of the five ancient tribes placed two Dinosaur Eggs (恐竜の卵, Kyōryū no Tamago) within a chest and sent it off to sea, hoping for a safer place and time for dinosaurs. The chest drifted over to Dalos Island, where the Apelo Tribe resided. The Guardian Beasts appeared to the Apelo and entrusted them to protect the eggs until the Zyurangers returned to this world. After several attempts by Bandora to use them for her evil deeds, the Zyurangers finally claim the eggs and send them to King Brachion to incubate the eggs inside its body. The book known as "Dino Revelation" mentions that the eggs are the last pair of dinosaurs on Earth and if they are destroyed, the dinosaurs will become extinct from this world. After Dora Talos' destruction, the eggs finally hatch into two Tyrannosaur hatchlings (one male and one female) and are now in the care of Satoshi and his friends.
Spirit of Life Clotho (命の精霊クロト, Inochi no Seirei Kuroto) is an entity who takes on the form of a childlike being and possesses the power of life itself. When the Zyurangers go into suspended animation, Burai follows them in his own chamber. However, an earthquake causes the cave where Burai was sleeping to collapse, crushing Burai to death. Daizyuzin asks Clotho to restore Burai's life, since he is the only person who can summon Dragon Caesar. Burai is restored to life, but only with a limited lifespan. Shortly after his revival and subsequent betrayal of Bandora, Clotho takes Burai to the Lapseless Room and gives him the Beast Play Sword. Clotho tells Burai that he only has a limited lifespan and leaves him with a green candle that represents the time he has left. The Lapseless Room is a chamber where time stands still, and every time Burai goes out to aid his brother, the candle gradually melts away. After Bandora destroys the room, Goushi and Dan attempt to get the Water of Life from its guardian, who is actually Clotho in disguise. She reveals that even with the Water of Life, Burai's life cannot be saved, since he has already died once. Clotho convinces Dan and Goushi to fulfill Burai's last wishes by giving the water to a boy in a hospital that Burai earlier befriended and save his life instead.
Clotho is portrayed by Mayumi Sakai (酒井 麻由美, Sakai Mayumi).

After Bandora's entrapment, the Apelo were reprieved of their curse as Daizyuzin restored their natural forms on the condition that they safeguard the last two Dinosaur Eggs. When Bandora learns of this, she sends her forces to take the eggs from the Apelo as Euro makes his way to Japan to find the Zyurangers. Though the Apelo fail to honor their covenant with the deity when the dinosaur eggs lost at sea during the ensuing battle, the pleading made by Euro's new-found friend Emiko and the Zyurangers convince Daizyuzin to renounce his curse and allow the Apelo back to his domain.

Crockle is portrayed by Takeshi Kuwabara (桑原 たけし, Kuwabara Takeshi) and Daisy is portrayed by Chigusa Takayama (高山 千草, Takayama Chigusa).
The Guardian Beasts (守護獣, Shugojū) are the seven gods worshipped by the five ancient tribes that the Zyurangers come from. The Guardian Beasts originally existed in one form as Ultimate Daizyuzin before splitting into seven separate forms due to being weakened after banishing Great Satan. The Guardian Beasts are summoned when the command "I summon the Guardian Beast (name of the Guardian Beast)!" (現れよ、守護獣(守護獣の名前)よ, Araware yo Shugojū (Shugojū no Namae) yo) is given. However, if the five core Guardian Beasts are commanded, the Zyurangers say "We summon the Guardian Beasts! (現れよ、守護獣たちよ, Araware yo Shugojū-tachi yo)". When they first get in their cockpits, the Zyurangers shout the command "(Name) Ranger! Guardian Beast (name of the Guardian Beast)! United!" ((名前)レンジャー!守護獣(守護獣の名前)!合身!, (Namae) Renjā! Shugojū (Shugojū no Namae)! Gasshin!) and use the Dino Crystals (ダイノクリスタル, Daino Kurisutaru), created from the medallions within each Zyurangers' Dino Buckler, to enable the Guardian Beasts to combine. When not in use, the Guardian Beasts can speak to the Zyurangers in their individual separate forms.
Daizyuzin (大獣神, Daijūjin, Great Beast God) is the combined form of Tyrannosaurus, Zyu Mammoth, Triceratops, Saber Tiger, and Pteranodon. He is first formed as Beast Tank Dino Tanker (獣戦車ダイノタンカー, Jūsensha Daino Tankā) with the command "Unite! Dino Mission!" (合体・ダイノミッション, Gattai Daino Misshon), and then into Daizyuzin with the command "Activate! Daizyuzin!" (発動! 大獣神, Hatsudō! Daijūjin). Tyrannosaurus forms the head and body; Zyu Mammoth forms the arms, back, and shield; Triceratops forms the left leg; Saber Tiger forms the right leg; and Pteranodon forms the chest. As Dino Tanker, he attacks enemies with its two powerful cannons, the Beast Tank Cannons (獣戦車キャノン, Jūsensha Kyanon), or with laser blasts from the eyes of each Guardian Beast called the Beast Tank Storm (獣戦車ストーム, Jūsensha Sutōmu). Daizyuzin wields Zyu Mammoth's head as the Mammoth Shield (マンモスシールド, Manmosu Shīrudo), which can fire energy beams from its eyes, and the Dinosaur Sword God Horn (恐竜剣ゴッドホーン, Kyōryūken Goddo Hōn), which he uses in his Super Legend Lightning Cut (超伝説雷光斬り, Chō Densetsu Raikō Giri) finisher. Daizyuzin can also fire energy beams from his eyes and forehead.
Gouryuzin (剛龍神, Gōryūjin, Mighty Dragon God) is the combined form of Dragon Caesar, ZyuMammoth, Triceratops, and Saber Tiger. He is formed with the command "Unite! Dragon Mission!" (合体・ドラゴンミッション, Gattai Doragon Misshon). He wields the Mighty Dragon Spear Dragon Antler (剛龍槍ドラゴンアントラー, Gōryūsō Doragon Antorā) drill lance, which he uses in his Super Exploding Dragon God Thrust (超爆裂龍神突き, Chō Bakuretsu Ryūjin Zuki) finisher.
The Bandora Gang (バンドーラ一味, Bandōra Ichimi) are the nemeses of the Zyurangers. The members of the gang originated from Earth and emerged 170 million years ago during the same era the Zyurangers lived in. After being sealed away on the planet Nemesis which orbits Earth once every 230 million years, the Bandora Gang were released in the present day by two careless astronauts. Bandora and her minions were located at the Bandora Palace (バンドーラパレス, Bandōra Paresu, written as "Bandra Palace" on the sign), which was located on the Moon. Though their intent was making Earth a wasteland, they also caused mischief for the Zyurangers until they were sealed again in the finale.
Witch Bandora (魔女バンドーラ, Majo Bandōra) was originally the Queen of the Dall Tribe. After her son Kai was killed when he was discovered breaking Tyrannosaurus eggs by being chased off a cliff by a mother Tyrannosaurus, Bandora sold her soul to Great Satan for the power to become a witch and vowed revenge on the dinosaurs by killing children as part of her pact with Great Satan with the intention of wiping out the human race. Viewing herself as the greatest witch ever known, she has seemingly unlimited magical abilities including enlarging her Dora Monsters. She has served as the nemesis of the Zyurangers. Occasionally she has sung her theme song "Dora! The Song of Witch Bandora". The song is sung after Burai first appears. She planned on making everyone dance to her song when she took over Earth.
Bandora gets extremely furious in a hilarious manner when defeated. She also experiences headaches at times, only to be comforted by her fellow warriors, usually Grifforzar. Moreover, Bandora does eccentric things such as going on a crash diet and dismissing her followers when they fail. When she created Dora Franke from the Dokiita Clay, she had her minions build the Satan Tower. After which, she performed the Strongest of Black Magic rituals, which is used in the summoning of Great Satan, and this nearly kills her.
She loses her powers after shedding a tear over Kai's death (after being resurrected by Great Satan to pilot Dora Taros) as a witch loses her powers upon crying. Powerless, Bandora and her henchmen are sealed away and exiled to space by Daizyuzin. She is overwhelmed by the cuteness of Lamy and Grifforzar's son and cradles him around, proving she has, in the end, regained a part of her former goodness.
Bandora's staff, the DoraSceptre, can do many magic tricks, including making the Dora Monsters grow. She often looks down at Earth through her DoraScope.
Bandora is portrayed by Machiko Soga (曽我 町子, Soga Machiko).
Grifforzar (グリフォーザー, Gurifōzā) is a manticore-themed knight who wields the Grifocaliber IV sword and can fly with the help of his retractable wings. He is also Lamy's husband. Grifforzar was mute until Lamy came along (he saved his voice for her to hear). Despite being mute, he was still capable of giving commands to his soldiers with his vicious personality. Griffozar had a frequent rivalry with Tyranno Ranger. He is violent and possesses amazing strength. Griffozar is a dangerous opponent as evident by being able to outlast and defeat Daizyuzin. Even alone, he proved to be more than a match for the Zyurangers in their early battles. He had a son with Lamy towards the end of the series, which Bandora adored. Unlike the others, he is much less vicious than his fellow lackies.
Grifforzar is initially voiced by Yoshimasa Chida (千田義正, Chida Yoshimasa) and later by Kan Tokumaru (徳丸 完, Tokumaru Kan).
Secret Scorpion Agent Lamy (秘密蠍官ラミイ, Himitsu Sasorikan Ramī, 19-50) is the human-looking servant of Bandora who was sent after the Dinosaur Eggs before her mistress and her group were sealed. Unable to find the eggs, Lamy was forced to wait 170 million years for the return of her husband Grifforzar, whom she calls "darling". She was reunited with him when she found the eggs. Lamy wields the Lamy Boomerang, a crescent-shaped blade that can also be a sword.
When she is enlarged, she assumes the form of Lamy-Scorpion (ラミィスコーピオン, Ramī Sukōpion), a scorpion monster with an electrocuting stinger on her ponytail. This form of Lamy is a dangerous opponent to the Zyurangers and even more with Grifforzar's help as they held Daizyuzin at bay during an eclipse before an enlarged Dragon Ranger appeared to finish the giant off.
When the Zyurangers were dealing with Dora Silkis, Lamy found a rival in Mei in the art of disguises. She gave birth to a baby boy at the end of the series, who looks human like her. She is sealed away during the finale alongside the other main villains and has a son with Grifforzar which Bandora adored.
Lamy is portrayed by Ami Kawai (河合 亜美, Kawai Ami).
Totpat (トットパット, Tottopatto) is a vampire who has never tasted blood and is a scatterbrained alchemist. He often talks very fast when nervous and is able to take human form. Totpat is the companion of Bookback, whom he picks on for being slow. Totpat is also much of a comedy relief. He attempted to taste the blood of a youth until a little girl named Michi intervened, with him vowing to get back at her for stepping on his foot while he hid away from her. Totpat nearly tried to taste the girl's blood with Dora Argus' aid until Dan intervened. He also made a potion that makes people's personalities change (done with Dan and Mei) which could be cured by a rare herb called the Mandragora. His name is an ironic pun on "bat" and "tooth", as he is a somewhat harmless and funny vampire.
Totpat is voiced by Kaoru Shinoda (篠田 薫, Shinoda Kaoru).
Bookback (ブックバック, Bukkubakku) is a blue-skinned hobgoblin who records all of Bandora's evil deeds. He is able to assume human form. Bookback is extremely stupid, short-witted, and a cowardly cheat who'd do anything to win. Bookback has a large appetite and usually provides comic relief, along with Totpat. He also annoys and/or angers Bandora quite frequently. Bookback wields a pistol for battle, though it is useless in most situations.
Bookback is voiced by Takeshi Watabe (渡部 猛, Watabe Takeshi).
Pleprechuan (プリプリカン, Puripurikan) is a leprechaun/terrier-like potter who forges the Dora Monsters and Golem Soldiers out of clay and is focused on his craft as he brings them to live with his Nendora Machine. He rarely shows up in battle and focuses more on enemy tactics. While working for Bandora, Pleprechuan is not really an evil character, but rather a somewhat unusual artist. He hates being rushed, claiming "You can't rush perfection or it'll be ruined." He is extremely brilliant and somewhat all-knowing, though he isn't much of a comedy relief, compared to most of Bandora's Gang.
Pleprechuan is voiced by Yutaka Ooyama (大山 豊, Ōyama Yutaka).
The Golem Soldiers (ゴーレム兵, Gōremu Hei, 1-29) are warriors made out of clay. Their hands can change into boulder-fists and stone-blades. The Golem Soldiers' unorthodox tactics involve amassing in large numbers, dancing around enemies before going in for the attack and are able to regenerate their bodies after being destroyed. Two rocky armored versions of the Golems usually lead the others. They were eventually rendered obsolete when the Dokiita Golems were created.
The original Golem Soldiers were later summoned by Zaigan during Super Sentai World.
When the Dokiita Clay is found, Dokiita Golem Soldiers (ドキータゴーレム兵, Dokīta Gōremu, 29-50) are made from it. The Dokiita Golems are stronger versions of ordinary Golem Soldiers, their regeneration abilities are advanced to the point that they each can split into two new Dokiita Golems from the scattered remains. Also, unlike the original Golems who have black eyes, the new Dokiita Golems have red ones and can fire lasers from their fingers. Geki and Burai retrieved the Thunder Slingers to defeat them.
The Dokiita Golems continue to appear in the series afterwards.
Great Satan (大サタン, Dai Satan, 30, 31 & 47-50) is an evil god that is depicted as a floating blue-skinned head and is the ultimate evil of the series. In the past, Great Satan used Bandora to try to destroy Earth 170 million years ago, but was banished back to Hell by Ultimate Daizyujin. In the present day, after having enough of the Zyurangers' interference, Bandora summons Great Satan with the help of the Satan Tower as her followers gather thirteen ten-year-old children as sacrificial payment in the Strongest of Black Magic ritual. Once he arrives, Great Satan uses his power to turn the Dora Monster Zombie Franke into Satan Franke. Great Satan is overpowered by Ultimate Daizyuzin, but brings Bandora's son Kai back to life to cement his pact with Bandora. Though he overpowers both Daizyuzin and Dragon Caesar, Great Satan is finally destroyed along with Dora Talos by Ultimate Daizyuzin's Grand Banisher.
Great Satan returns in the Super Sentai Strongest Battle mini-series when resurrected on the planet Nemesis by Rita, a sorceress who lost her homeworld and wanted to destroy what she considered an irredeemable universe. Rita orchestrated a tournament among the Super Sentai warriors to acquire the energy needed, bringing back Great Satan in his full-bodied form Ultimate Great Satan (究極大サタン, Kyūkyoku Dai Satan) before he is destroyed once more.
Great Satan is portrayed by Masahiko Urano (actor) (浦野 眞彦, Urano Masahiko) and voiced by Seizō Katō (加藤 精三, Katō Seizō).
Kai (カイ, Kai, 47-50) is Bandora's ruthless son and the prince of the Dahl Tribe who dies when he is discovered breaking dinosaur eggs and falls off a cliff evading a mother Tyrannosaurus. He is resurrected by Great Satan as the main pilot of Dora Talos. He would not let his mother hug him whenever she wanted to. When Dora Talos is eventually destroyed by Daizyuzin, a mortally wounded Kai struggles to make his way back to Bandora and dies in his mother's arms and faded away to Heaven.
Kai is portrayed by Issei Takahashi (高橋 一生, Takahashi Issei).
Dora Taros (ドーラタロス, Dōra Tarosu, 47-50) is a giant white knight mecha piloted by Kai, Bandora's resurrected son. It has various weapons including its Taro Missiles, Taro Beam, Taro Punch, and could use Kai's telekinesis. Came when Kai gave out the command "Come forth, Dora Taros!" (現れよ、ドーラタロス!, Araware yo Dōra Tarosu!). Daizyuzin and Gouryuzin were of no match for this new menace. After being destroyed by Ultimate Daizyuzin, Bandora cast a spell that caused the ground to collapse from underneath King Brachion, causing him to sink into the ground, with the Dinosaur Eggs inside of him.
Once Great Satan appears on Earth, Bandora rebuilds Dora Taros with two extra horns on the sides of its head and extended blades from its arms which it uses to sever Daizyuzin's left arm and half of Dragon Caesar's tail, leaving Bandora free to cast a spell that causes the two to disappear. The Zyurangers later learn from Burai's spirit that the Guardian Beasts are trapped in Bandora's Magic Realm. The Zyurangers escape after smashing the globes containing their Guardian Beasts and attack Dora Taros through several quickly-ascending stages: separate Guardian Beasts, Daizyuzin, Dragon Caesar, Gouryuzin and finally Ultimate Daizyuzin destroying both Great Satan and Dora Taros forever.
The Dora Monsters (ドーラモンスター, Dōra Monsutā) (1-10, 12–16, and 23–27) are made out of clay by Pleprechuan and processed by the Neodora Machine (ネンドーラマシン, Neodōra Mashin) oven into human size. Throwing her DoraSceptor to Earth, usually when her Dora Monster is defeated, Bandora conjures the spell "Evil spirits that sleep in the ground, give more power to Dora (name of Dora monster)!" to regenerate the defeated Dora monster into a giant.
In response to the Zyurangers having Dragon Caesar and Gouryujin, Bandora's gang retrieves a batch of the new Dokiita Clay to create super-powered Dokiita Golems as well as new and stronger Dora Monsters called the Dokiita Clay Dora Monsters (ドキイタ粘土ドーラモンスター, Dokīta Kurei Dora Monsutā) (28-33, 35–38, and 40–46), which the Guardian Beasts say are powerful enough to fight the Gods.
