History
Squatt and Baboo decided to create their own monster to destroy the Power Rangers, as Rita, was sleeping. Baboo then showed Squatt their monster, a clay tortoise, much's Squatt's shock, and then Baboo stuck a mini traffic light in the clay tortoise's back, and even Squatt was still unimpressed, Baboo was still confindate in their tortoise monster. Before Baboo put the clay tortoise in the Monster-Matic machine, Squatt gave the clay tortoise weapons to find with, including a baseball and bat, a cannon, a hook, and a brass knuckle, and Baboo though about giving the clay tortoise the names of "Greta" or "Peetoosh", which Squatt disliked and suggested the name "Shellshock" instead, which Baboo agreed on. They put Shellshock in the Monster-Matic machine, which briefly wakes Rita up. Once out of the Monster-Matic machine, who also likes his name, is greeted by Squatt and Baboo, who send down Putties to fight the Power Rangers first to wear them down.
Once on Earth, after the Power Rangers defeated the Putties, Shellshock, Squatt, and Baboo watch as they are playing basketball, and Baboo explains to Shellshock how he wants to use his traffic light beams to weaken the Rangers, Shellshock agrees to do. Shellshock then uses his beams to destroy their basketball. The Rangers morph but Shellshock blasts Trini with his "Go" beam, making her unable to stop running as she heads in the opposite direction. The other Rangers then go after the three but Shellshock manages to freeze them, except Jason, with the "Stop" beam, and after to finish the other rangers but Jason manages to stop them, and return to the Moon Palace.
Once on the Moon Palace, a now awake Rita is impressed with how Shellshock handled the Power Rangers, and praises the three, despite Goldar's objections about creating Shellshock without Rita's permission. Once back on Earth, Rita made Shellshock grow and wrecked havoc throughout before Jason shows up in the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord to stop Shellshock. Although Shellshock gains the upperhand in the fight against the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord, Tommy comes to help and summons the Dragonzord to fight Shellshock, allowing the Rangers to gain the upperhand before Shellshock freezes the zords with the "Stop" beam. However, Trini then shows up the Deandra flowers Zordon sent to get and uses to undo the effects of Shellshock's beams, unfreezing the Kimberly, Zack, and Billy, and the zords. Jason and Tommy then use their to destroy Shellshock, much the fury of Rita, who berates Squatt and Baboo for their monster's failure.
