The Hades Fungal Beast Mold was the mold and eye-themed Hades Beast of the Infershia serving Sorcery Priest Meemy and the "main antagonist" of the 32nd episode of Mahou Sentai Magiranger.
Biography[]
Past[]
Like all Hades Beasts, the Hades Fungal Beast Mold was created in the Kendomo Realm deep underneath the Earth's surface and worked for the Infershia realm and their leader Absolute Hades God N Ma. In 1990, the Infershia (led by the newly empowered Victory General Branken) invaded the Surface Realm to fulfil N Ma's dream of plunging the world into darkness but were sealed underground by an army of magicians with N Ma being even more deeply sealed.
Magiranger[]
In 2005, Wolzard breaks the seal over the Kendomo Realm and Branken rallies his Zobils and Hades Beasts to conquer the Surface Realm. However, the initial invasion by Wolzard and his Zobil invasion force are opposed by the new Magirangers.
Meemy sends Vancuria to carry the Mold to the Surface Realm and infect Tokyo citizens with it. Vancuria attacks the city and starts infecting citizens with the power of mold so the Magirangers arrive and Kai tries to attack Vancurua only to be caught in the mold mist with Makito sacrificing herself instead before Vancuria retreats with the Mold. After the Magirangers learn that they need to destroy it before it opens its eye, as that would kill the victims instantly, Wolzard and Vancuria appears with the former demanding that they show thier Legend Magiranger powers or he will open the eye in an hour. In the meantime, they infect more victims until the Magirangers confront them where they are overwhelmed even after they assume Legend Mode and are knocked back to thier default form.
However, Makito's cheering allows them to become stronger and overwhelm Wolzard before striking him with the Magibolt Legend Finish; crippling him and destroying Mold in the process which frees his victims. Angered by his failure, Wolzard summons Barkion and becomes WolfKaiser to fight MagiLegend. Although he is overwhelmed though, Meemy infects MagiLegend with a substance that Houka realises is Hades Fungal Beast Mold which Meemy explains he upgraded to become even stronger. Before it can kill the trapped Magirangers however, WolKaiser absorbs and effectively destroys Mold since his honourable nature makes him adverse to such dishonorable tactics.
Legacy[]
Wolzard absorbing the Mold later resulted in Wolzard regaining his memories as Blagel, the father of the Ozu siblings and the spell casted on him by Ma started disappearing which began the beginning of the end for the Infershia.
Personality[]
Despite its distinction as a Hades Beast, Hades Fungal Beast Mold had no personality or even apparent will of its own.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Mold Infection: Hades Fungal Beast Mold could infect its victims with a lethal and incurable mold by spraying them with green mist.
- Instant Kill: When Mold opened its eye, all of its affected victims would die instantly.
Trivia[]
- Due to mostly appearing around Japanese people and the clearly breasted Vancuria, as well as the unsuitable for children effect it had on its victims, Hades Fungal Beast Mold was not adapted into Power Rangers: Mystic Force.
- However, its corrupting effect on MagiLegend would appears in the episode "Koragg's Trial" although this would be explained away as a spell from Imperious/Meemy.
- Presumably not due to being a true Hades Beast, Mold did not appear in the Book of Prophecy.
