Major Zydos

Major Zydos is a member of the Gorma Triumvirate and a major antagonist in Gosei Sentai Dairanger.

History
The original Major Zydos presumably participated in the war between the Dai and Gorma Tribes long ago and perished in it. After the war resulted in the devastation of both sides, a clay copy of Zydos was created by the original Lieutenant Colonel Shadam along with copies of the other Gorma leadership to one day resume the conquest of the Gorma Tribe.

In the late 20th century, Zydos emerged along with the other members of the Gorma Triumvirate to lead the Gorma Tribe's reborn conquest of the world.

During the confrontation between Shadam and Master Kaku, Zydos was sent to destroy two towers set up by the Kaku to assist him in the battle, but faced resistance from the Dairangers, who defended the towers even though they had given their powers to their mentor. However, Zydos succeeds in destroying one of the towers and diverted the Dairangers' attention by growing giant, allowing Gara to destroy the other. He is later reverted to normal after the Heavy Armor Chi Palace falls on him, but seemingly survives. However, as soon as he gets up, Zydos' body is revealed to be made out of clay and starts falling apart, revealing him to be nothing more than a clay doll imbued with the memories and actions of the real Zydos. With his body rapidly falling apart, Zydos screams until his body completely dissolves into clay dust.
