| ~ Eras upon her awakening. |
Eras (エラス Erasu) is the main antagonist of the 2019-2020 Super Sentai series Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger.
She is the ruler of Druidon Tribe, a race of monsters bent on conquering the world and destroying humanity. She is the entity who created all of the Druidon generals and as such is referred to as the Mother of the Druidons by the generals of the Tribe. Her existence only seems to be known to them, as the lower members of the tribe (like Kureon) were unaware of who she was and did not recognize her name initially.
She is revealed to be sealed underneath the crust of the Earth, and only pulling out the Ryusoul Calibur could awaken him. Eras is referred as master by both of the active lead Druidon Generals on Earth, Pricious and Wizeru.
It is later revealed that Eras is also the original creator of the Ryusoul Tribes, and that the Druidon Tribe was created by her to wipe out the Ryusoul Tribe. Her ultimate goal is to destroy both the Ryusoul Tribe and the Druidon Tribe and remake the world.
Biography
Past
Nothing much is known about Eras or where she came from. In prehistoric times, she created the Ryusoul Tribe to protect and defend planet Earth, only for the Ryusoul Tribes to begin waging wars against each other that damaged the planet. Deeming the Ryusoul Tribes failed creations, Eras created the Druidon Tribe to wipe out the Ryusoul Tribe. However, the Druidon Tribe instead launched their own invasion of the Earth to dominate it and subjugate the Ryusoul Tribe. She was eventually sealed within the crust of the Earth by the Ryusoul Masters and was left their after the rest of the Druidon Tribe retreated into space following the extinction of the dinosaurs caused by meteors crashing into Earth.
Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger
In modern era, the Druidon Tribe returned back to the Earth in order to reclaim it. After the second and final death of Gachireus, the Druidon generals on Earth had been discussing about RyusoulCalibur. Pricious revealed that as soon as Ryusoul Calibur was pulled out, the Great Power of Druidon would be awaken. Wizeru then realized that Pricious intended to revive Eras. Kureon, who attempted to become a top general of Druidon, was displeased when he learned about Eras' existence and decided to eradicate Ryusoulgers in order to get promoted.
During her time sealed, Eras fused with the Ryusoul Calibur and was slowly draining its power, causing Setoh to instruct the Ryusoulgers to go and retrieve it before Eras drained the last of its power. Eras' sealed state was later discovered by Master Black, who found that Eras had fused with the Earth itself, enabling her to regenerate from the planet even if she was destroyed.
After excavating the site where Pricious was sealed, Pricious asked Eras to add a new general to the Druidon's ranks. With her revival already imminent, Eras created the general Gunjoji to aid Pricious in fighting the Ryusoulgers. Gunjoji was soon followed by an identical "little brother", Gunjoji II.

Eras eventually created a new Druidon general soon after, Yabasword.
As Eras' revival became imminent, Yabasword went berserk and started attacking both the Druidons and the Ryusoulgers before growing giant and attempting to destroy anything in his path.
After Pricious restrained Yabasword and brought him down to normal size, she then questioned Eras as to why he had begun attacking other Druidons instead of being "loyal". Eras then shot out a beam to Yabasword and freed him to continue attacking the other Druidons, causing Pricious to kill him by tearing his card. Pricious then demanded to Eras to know what was happening, to which Eras revealed to Pricious the truth about how the Ryusoul Tribe were creations of herself too and how the Druidon Tribe had originally been made to terminate the Ryusoul Tribe after they began warring with each other.
After being defeated by the Ryusoulgers, Pricious returned to Eras and pleaded with her to create more siblings as the Ryusoulgers approached. After revealing to the Ryusoulgers the truth about the Ryusoul and Druidon Tribes, Pricious attempted to attack the Ryusoulgers again, only for Wizeru and Kureon to barge in and interrupt the fight. Wizeru and Kureon revealed to them all that Eras' goal was not only the destruction of the Ryusoul Tribe, but the Druidon Tribe as well for waging their own campaign to dominate the planet. Soon after revealed this however, Eras fully awakened and shot out a beam of light that pierced through Kureon and killed Pricious. Eras then absorbed Pricious into herself and revealed her true form, declaring that she would remake the planet.
