Slyther was voiced by Campbell Cooley, who also voiced various Power Rangers villains.
Biography[]
Slyther is created by Mucus, with the latter placing the data on the Rangers and their base into the new robot whilst the former installs a Sporix Cell into him to help him grow giant, having learned from Boomtower that a robot installed with a Sporix can enlarge. When he is activated, his first words are a direct introduction and demonstration of his powers; appearing to be jovial but doesn't care about Mucus being his creator or her request to be friends but he is interested in helping Void Knight with a plan to use his illusion abilities to fool the Rangers so he can steal their Sporix. From there, Slyther sneaks over to Dinohenge, overseeing Zayto and Solon creating an intercom to communicate with Rafkon, which Slyther planned to take advantage of. He later returned to the same place, having transformed into a Rafkonian woman named Arla and met the Rangers, Zayto especially being happy that someone from his world did manage to hear the message. Pretending to have Zayto's abilities to gain their trust, the robot was let into the base, with the intent of stealing the Sporix. However, Solon does not allow it and, after everyone leaves the room, Slyther changes back into his true form and contacts Void Knight, informing him and Mucus that he has entered the base.
Slyther is discovered by Solon and they have a confrontation but Solon is defeated and Slyther returns to the base to steal the Sporix. Thankfully, Zayto figures out something is wrong and stops him before he can obtain the Sporix. In the ensuing fight, Slyther tries to destroy Zayto but he is saved by the Rangers and Zayto manages to defeat the robotic general. However, Slyther transforms into a giant Roostafa but is defeated by the Dino Fury Megazord Warrior Formation's Mega Blast. Although Slyther survives, he ends up being electrocuted over a set of power lines which fries his memories completely. However, Mucus is able to locate him and, after using his amnesia to convince him to be her friend, they return to Area 62. At some point, Slyther gets his memory back for he and Mucus manage to find Fogshell who they recruit, only for the three of them to be discovered by Javi and Izzy in Evergreen Park. He sees them there and shows the new Sporix Beast how he deals with Rangers before blasting them with his staff. In addition, he finds an unhatched Sporix and delivers it to Void Knight.
Sometimes later, Slyther disguises himself as a human athlete but upon hearing the Black Ranger's conversation with Adrian, he heads to a safe spot to change back into his real form and calls Void Knight to discuss a plan that requires Fogshell's help. Slyther kidnaps Adrian, and at first attempts to trick the Green Ranger so that he could capture her, but that failed, so he decided to blackmail the Rangers into giving him all their Sporix in exchange for their friend. The Rangers give him their Sporix and free Adrian. Slyther takes their Sporix and sends Fogshell to fight them. The Rangers defeat Fogshell and Slyther tries to retrieve the monster's Sporix, but the Rangers catch it first, forcing him to flee. When he decides to surprise Void Knight with what he got, the chest containing all the Sporix the Rangers collected so far disappears. Void Knight suddenly realises that it is an illusion and the Rangers tricked his generals. He becomes angry and punishes them both by first flinging Slyther into the gong, and after fling the gong at Mucus, he approaches Slyther with with anger as the later crawls backwards in fear.
When a mysterious cloaked figure invades Area 62 to get the Sporix, Slyther confronts them alongside Void Knight and Mucus. However, the figure reveals himself to be Lord Zedd who easily defeats Slyther and Void Knight although his master Reaghoul then stops him to form an alliance. Slyther disguises himself as Mr. Wiz to lure the Rangers into a trap and sends Tidemare to destroy them but he flees with Mucus when Aiyon the Gold Ranger awakens and defeats Tidemare soon after. After stealing a boat with a group of Hengemen, Slyther and Mucus use the parts to create a new general for Void Knight, Wreckmate, to destroy the Mosa Razor Zord but Wreckmate is eventually defeated by the Mosa Razor Zord Battle Mode.
After Mucus finds Trawler, they teleport to Area 62. Slyther and his comrades watch the BuzzBlast news showing the Gold Ranger won by the popularity. After Void Knight imagines a plan, Slyther disguises once more as a human to trick the Gold Ranger into calling his Zord for his fans. Soon after the Mosa Razor Zord's arrival, Trawler captures it. Void Knight rejoins Slyther and asks him if it is the same Zord that destroyed Wreckmate, which the general confirms. He tells his plan to his master: hypnotize the Mosa Razor Zord so it would only obey Void Knight and destroy the Rangers under his command. After Void Knight's departure, Slyther tries to hypnotise the Mosa Razor Zord, but Javi turns invisible using the Invisi Dino Key and destroys the Hengemen, allowing Aiyon to stop the hypnosis. The Mosa Razor Zord combines with the Dimetro Blazing Zord to form the Electro Zord who attacks Slyther, prompting the general to flee.
Slyther and Mucus encounter Boneswitch, who has the power to swap bodies. When they reach Area 62, the two generals show Void Knight the Beast's abilities and he does a test by swapping their bodies. Returning to their normal bodies, a disgusted Slyther retires to take a shower. On Void Knight's orders, Slyther releases Reaghoul who resurrects Boomtower to fight the Rangers. When Boomtower asks his master to give him a Sporix so he can enlarge, he refuses by saying he doesn't have any to spare. But at this moment, Mucus remarks to Slyther that he never used his Sporix so he can to give it Boomtower. Void Knight agrees and orders two Hengemen to restrain Slyther while Boomtower takes his Sporix. Slyther says that it is just a loan. Mucus and Slyther (with Reaghoul and Boomtower) help Void Knight kidnap Dr. Akana, who is thrown into a vortex. Reaghoul also throws Mucus and Slyther in there with her after Void Knight leaves. When Zayto destroys Reaghoul and frees Dr. Akana, Mucus and Slyther are both left behind.
By Christmas however, Mucus and Slyther somehow manage to escape and plan to avenge Void Knight by destroying the Rangers. Mucus tells Javi and Solon via a hologram of herself projected from a Christmas card that she and Slyther have planted a bomb to destroy Dinohenge, and that they have only ten minutes to find and deactivate it before it explodes. After their failure, Mucus and Slyther flee to Area 62.
Dino Fury Season 2[]
Slyther and Mucus try to break into Void Knight secret room with a wrecking ball but this fails due to the door's strength. After Slyther is forced to reform Mucus (much to their disgust), Void Knight (having survived his apparent death) contacts them them via his screen. When asking if that's the real Void Knight, Bitscream teleports in and threatens to destroy them if they dare to question Void Knight again. Later, Slyther and Mucus work as a distraction so that Bitscreem can steal back the Void Knight Saber.
Mucus is horrified at the arrival of a seaweed creature at Area 62 but Slyther reassures her that it's just a Sporix Beast. However, the being discards the seaweed to reveal himself as none other than Wreckmate, who survived his previous Megazord battle and has returned to serve Void Knight. Although surprised at his creation’s return, Slyther is disgusted by his sea shanty and tells him to leave which leads to an argument and nearly a fight. Before they can brawl, Void Knight insists that they fight the Power Rangers and they agree to a contest where whoever kills the least Rangers has to leave forever. Slyther unveils a potion that will supercharge the drinker’s abilities for several minutes but Wreckmate snatches and drinks it instead before throwing Slyther across the room. Recovering, the two of them teleport away to attack the Rangers with Mucus helping. Upon arriving, they split up with Slyther and Mucus going to the downtown over-bridge so the Rangers split-up with Aiyon, Izzy and Javi going to fight Slyther. They morph and take Mucus out of the fight with a Mosa Blast so Slyther fights alone but is overwhelmed so he summons Hengemen and retreats until the three-retreat due Wreckmate’s intervention. Slyther then emerges to bicker with Wreckmate before they both withdraw.
After Occulo arrives in Area 62 and reveals his omni-directional vision and x-ray vision, Slyther reveals that he found an amulet capable of erasing memories in the base’s basement. He states that this plan will allow them to steal Sporix without the Rangers remembering where they were. He first uses it in an encounter with the Dino Fury Rangers and then returns a day later with Occulo and Mucus to collect more Sporix. Though they encounter the Rangers, he uses the amulet on them to make them think they found a pickle before withdrawing. When they return later that day, Slyther learns that they have all of the Sporix in Pine Ridge before the Rangers arrive so he summons Hengemen. Once Occulo takes them down, Slyther uses the amulet to make them think that they found a giant teddy bear but Zayto (having previously been absent to look for Rafkon arrives on the Dino Fury Cycle. With it, he hits Slyther with Plasma Blasts until he tosses the amulet and destroys it which restores the Rangers. Angry, Slyther charges but Zayto uses the Light Key to take the general down and free his friends from the memory spell so the villainous trio send more Hengemen and retreat.
At Area 62, Slyther, Mucus, and Wreckmate see Void Knight insert another Sporix brought by Occulo into the machine, but it still isn't enough power, so he tries to use Occulo until hearing about the Baby Pacha Zord, sending Wreckmate and Occulo to kidnap the new Zord, in exchange for Sporix. After Occulo's defeat, Slyther and the company watch as the machine is powered up by Occulo's Sporix.
With help from Mucus and Wreckmate, Slyther finish the Zord Jammer to jam the Rangers' Zords and the army receive more help when Doomsnake wakes up again. When the Rangers attack, Slyther activates the Jammer, rendering his enemies unable to summon their Zords, angered when Zayto criticizes the Jammer's appearance, and then flees with Void Knight and Doomsnake after the latter is knocked unconscious. Returning to Area 62, Slyther learns from Mucus about the Ptera Freeze Zord, so the entire army confront the Rangers for the Zord. However, the Rangers manage to obtain it to destroy the Jammer. After losing Doomsnake, Slyther, Void Knight, Mucus, and Wreckmate return to the lair to discover Void Knight's machine at work. Under Void Queen's orders, Slyther, Mucus, and Wreckmate have a group of Hengemen create the new robotic general Snageye to finish off the Rangers, before attempting to chase down Void Knight, who is now against Void Queen.
Slyther and Wreckmate discover Mucus and the Hengemen doing a dance for the Songathon, angering Slyther that Mucus didn't tell him about the contest, before watching as Wreckmate shoots Mucus to stop her. Slyther and Wreckmate mock Mucus because paradise without humans would be better without her. Slyther and the group are ordered by the Void Queen and Void King to devise a plan to distract the Rangers while they attempt to use a drill to travel underground to the Rangers' base and take their Sporix. While Mucus is in Japan distracting the Rangers with Sugarhit, Slyther, Void King, and Wreckmate use the stolen drill key to power up the drill, which fails, causing the two generals to laugh, incurring Void King's wrath.
After the Nemesis Beast was destroyed and Santaura is restored to normal, Slyther joins back up with Mucus (who managed to escape the Morphin Masters stealing away the other Sporix) and they cease being evil. Six months later, it is revealed that she reunited with Slyther and the two redeemed generals have opened their own circus called Dr Sly's Magical Mushroom Circus, advertised by flyers near Aiyon's Café.
Cosmic Fury[]
Mucus and Slyther continue their circus, until Lord Zedd invaded Earth and destroyed their tent.
Aiyon eventually caught up with them after a performance, and, despite being human, recognized them. After reading their thoughts, Aiyon brought them back to the Rangers, intending to use them to find the Triceratops statue that is corrupting Ollie. As Mucus continued expressing her hatred of being human, Zayto destroys the Wish Charm she used to return her back to her original look. After destroying Squillia Naire, Slyther masqueraded as her while Mucus pretended to be 'Squilla's' lawyer in order to reach Eltar. Although they manage to destroy the statue, they were caught soon after, and Ollie, pretending to still be evil, has them contained with Mucus in a small jar.
Ollie, Mucus, and Slyther were eventually rescued by the Rangers, who take on Zedd, who was then betrayed by Bajillia Naire before capturing the Rangers.
Mucus and Slyther rescue the Rangers in a seized Squidrill and help provide their escape, until the Squidrill was destroyed and they helplessly float around space. Mucus and Slyther were eventually rescued and were working on stage lighting during Javi's concert.
Personality[]
Slyther is shown to be very cunning and deceptive, using his shapeshifting abilities to fool the Rangers; an example is transforming into a female Rafkonian in order to trick Zayto into giving the Sporix containment unit. Although loyal to Void Knight, Slyther shows a compassionate side after getting his memories scrambled from an electric jolt. He is also very dramatic and showy, loudly announcing his attacks while battling the Rangers, and introducing himself like an announcer introducing a stage act. He also has a habit of reviewing his opponents and their attacks as if critiquing a stage performance.
At first, he didn't seem to care that Mucus had created him and brushed her aside, making fun of her for wanting him as a friend while appearing to be loyal to Void Knight and faking to give Mucus a high five to embarrass her. After he was defeated as Roostafa and fell into some power lines, he appeared to have amnesia and due to this, Mucus tricked him into being her friend to which he gladly accepted, possibly meaning he has a much more caring side now following his memory loss.
Out of all of Void Knight's generals, Slyther is the smartest, coming up with brilliant plans like using Ollie's desire for a new laptop to give him a hacked one so he could steal the data to find what was causing the storm or hacking into the Ranger Hotline to intercept Sporix Beast reports to catch Sporix before the Rangers which succeeded as he managed to steal one and recruit Fogshell before his plan was foiled. He is very loyal to Void Knight and upon learning his master was presumably destroyed by the Rangers, he planned to avenge him by destroying them.
Slyther's personality radically changed in the next season Cosmic Fury, alongside his best friend Mucus, where they became much more honorable and friendly and completely redeemed himself and helped the Power Rangers defeat Lord Zedd and save the universe from his invasion, while totally joining the Rangers and never trying to betray the Rangers and desiring to live normal life at Earth like humans.

Trivia[]
- Despite Void Knight hinting at his creation at the end of "Cut Off", it seemed Mucus was heavily involved in making Slyther as well though she took full credit for creating him. In the Sentai, Slyther's counterpart was not created by Mucus' counterpart, but they were great friends which is what Mucus wants with Slyther.
- Slyther is the only robot general to survive at the end of Dino Fury and the only one to return in Cosmic Fury.
