Rita: So Kimberly’s going flying? Well, what goes up we can push down eh? With a sleeping potion for Pilot Steve! Then you send down Snizzard!
Goldar: Yes! Yar ha ha. With one less Ranger to worry about, we can-
Rita: Attack!
~ The plot for the Snizzard.
We’re going to send down the Snizzard; half snake, half lizard. The Snizzard attacks by releasing it’s leg cobras or by firing them in arrows. When they hit, they’ll drain the energy out of the Power Rangers!
~ Finster about the Snizzard.

The Snizzard was the snake and lizard-themed monster of the Evil Space Aliens and a major antagonist in the Power Rangers franchise.

He was originally voiced by Bryan Cranston, who also played Walter White in Breaking Bad. In "The Wedding," he was voiced by the late Bob Papenbrook who also voiced Daemon and ShogunGekomon in Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01, Rito Revolto in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Zeo, Deviot in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy,Vince Lonigan in Sneaky Pete and Shadowborg in Big Bad Beetleborgs. In Once and Always, he was voiced by David Watterton who also voiced Drilltron in Power Rangers Beast Morphers.

Roles[]

The Snizzard is a major antagonist in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers; being the main antagonist of the episode "Foul Play in the Sky" as well as a minor antagonist in the episode "Zedd's Monster Madness" and the three-part episode "The Wedding." Also served as one of the two secondary antagonists(alongside Mighty Minotaur) of the hour-long special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always which celebrated the franchise's thirtieth anniversary.

Biography[]

An illustration of the Snizzard is shown in a page of Finster's monster book when he reviews monsters that he could use to ambush Zack but he ultimately chooses the Knasty Knight.

Later, after Kimberly gets into a plane with her Uncle Steve as well as Bulk and Skull, Rita Repulsa has Squatt lace his drink with a sleeping potion. Whilst she is in danger of crashing, the Snizzard is created by Finster to fatally drain the remaining and undermanned Rangers of their energy. to battle the Rangers. His torso is actually a large snake mouth, which could open up and fire what he called "tonsil snakes" at his foes which then wrap up and weaken their targets, draining them of their life energy with all of his power coming from his Zapper Apple. Confronting the Rangers in Angel Grove Park, the Snizzard overwhelms and traps the Rangers with snakes before nearly slaying them with an energised arrow. Before he can though, Kimberly arrives (having been guided to a safe landing by Alpha) and destroys his bow as well as several Putty Patrollers that the Snizzard summons. After she frees her teammates, the Snizzard tries to deploy more snakes but Kimberly destroys them with her Power Bow before using an arrow to instantly kill the Snizzard by destroying his Zapper Apple. Due to being powerless, the Snizzard is not enlarged by Rita.

After Mutitus and Lokar trap the Power Rangers on the Island of Illusions, five monsters appear to attack them which includes the Snizzard but they vanish before reaching the Rangers.

A year later, Snizzard is resurrected by Doomstone to attack the Power Rangers in Power Rangers's graveyard. He fights Trini but is easily defeated by a single kick to the gut.

Later that year, he is once again recreated by Finster to ambush the Power Rangers in the Spectre Theater as part of Rita and Zedd's wedding celebrations. After harassing the Power Rangers, he later attends the wedding where is seen chatting with the Saliguana. However, Zedd forces him to play the Wedding March on a generated organ after Goldar tries to sabotage the wedding by not getting musicians. The Snizzard later sees the newly-weds off for their honeymoon on Serpentera but, when the Power Rangers escape the Specter Theater, Rita and Zedd send an army to attack them although the Snizzard is not amongst them.

On Halloween 1995, Lord Zedd decides to throw a Halloween party to replicate the one he sees on Earth that year. Whilst he plans what monsters to use in his party, he recalls the complete failure of the Snizzard during the Haunted Forest plans as well as when he appeared in the Specter Theater.

In Space[]

Four years later, the Snizzard joins Rita and Zedd's army which attacks a planet in the M-51 Galaxy and defeats Trey of Triforia. The invasion of the universe is successful but the Snizzard and the rest of the monster army are turned to dust by Zordon's Energy Wave.

Once and Always[]

Twenty five years after his last destruction, the Snizzard and the Mighty Minotaur are resurrected by a robotic Rita Repulsa as new robotic monsters with the Snizzard now looking much more like a cobra. As a result of his new body, he is capable of paralysing his enemies and using his snakes to shrink them into action figures. After being reintroduced by Rita at the graveyard, he fights Kimberly, Tommy and Jason where he manages to capture the three of them as action figures for Rita. Outnumbered and overpowered, Billy and Zack retreat with Trini's daughter Minh only to be cornered by the Minotaur and Snizzard but they escape by flying away. Despite the minor set-back, she returns to the Moon only to need more energy as the power drain would take too long. As such, Rita launches simultaneous Putty attacks across the Earth to draw out the Power Rangers. When an attack at the Youth Center lures out the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers again (made up of Billy and Zack as well as Rocky and Katherine), Rita sends her monsters to capture them since they will be the last bits of power she will need. Despite initial confusion about Rocky and Katherine being the Red and Pink Rangers, the monsters overwhelm them although Billy saves Rocky from the Snizzard by destroying the Putties restraining him before they retreat. Although they track them to the Park, Alpha overhears about the Minotaur's tracking ability so the Rangers demorph and escape much to the Minotaur's frustration.

Despite the failure, the Mighty Minotaur and the Snizzard are able to capture many other Rangers as part of Rita's plan to create a time portal so she can help her past self to change the future. When Billy, Katherine and Rocky morph in the Junkyard, the monsters confront them but end up being trapped under a magnet as part of the Rangers' plan to storm the Moon Palace. Soon after though, Rita returns and captures Minh before freeing her monsters and confronting the Rangers in the Moon Palace but Billy tries to then destroy the Snizzard so they can free the captive Rangers without hurting them. The Snizzard is forced to repeatedly dodge Blade Blaster shots until Rita defeats Billy and seemingly kills Minh when she defends him. However, she remembers her mother's past and gains the Yellow Ranger powers so the team morphs and fights Rita and her minions.

When Kat tries to destroy the console though, Rita reminds her of what would happen to the captive Rangers before she grabs and enlarges the Snizzard to keep the Power Rangers busy. After impaling Rita, Billy and Minh form the Dino Megazord and decimate Snizzard until the other Rangers join them once they've destroyed the Minotaur. Although the Snizzard then gets the upper-hand and pins them, after Rita activates the time portal, they summon the Power Sword and use it to finally destroy the Snizzard once and for all.

Personality[]

The Snizzard was a violent and psychopathic monster who took great pleasure in watching his enemies slowly wither away and die before him. Despite this, he was intensely loyal to his masters.

After being resurrected, his personality didn't change much but was shown to be an eager kidnapper, far more aggressive and had a very pronounced hiss. He is also more sarcastic, demanding Minh Kwan to provide more specific description on Robo Rita when she brought up their encounter at the cemetery.

Forms[]

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Strength: When the Rangers all leapt on top of him with their Blade Blasters, the Snizzard easily threw them off and a single swing of his tail was enough to take down Jason.
  • Expert Fighter: The Snizzard was able to overwhelm all four Rangers all by himself.
  • Tonsil Snake Projection: The Snizzard's signature ability where he would fire snakes from the back of his mouth when it opened which would latch onto his enemies and drain their energy.
  • Energy Reflection: The Snizzard's Zapper Apple was able to deflect back the blasts from the Blade Blasters.
  • Putty Summoning: The Snizzard could summon an army of Putties to aid him in combat by raising one hand into the air and yelling for them.
  • Organ Playing: The Snizzard proved to be a very skilled organ player.

Weaknesses[]

  • Zapper Apple: The Snizzard's power source was the apple on his head but its destruction instantly destroyed him.
    • Physical Attacks: Although the Snizzard's Zapper Apple was immune to energy attacks, which would be instantly reflected back at the enemy, any physical attacks could destroy it like an arrow from the Power Bow.

Arsenal[]

  • Claws: Snizzard had razor claws to aid him in combat.
  • Tail: Snizzard's could use his tail to lash opponents like a whip.
  • Bow and Arrow: As his primary offensive weapon, the Snizzard used a bow and arrow to attack the Rangers.
    • Arrow Empowerment: The Snizzard could touch one of his arrows to his Zapper Apple and energise it before stringing it to his bow and firing it. This was presumably his most powerful attack as he used this in an attempt to finish off the Rangers but it was destroyed by Kimberly before he could fire it.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Strength: When Tommy attacked Rita, the Snizzard was easily able to grab and throw him down. When giant, a single claw swing knocked back the Dino Megazord and a tail whip sent it flying.
  • Durability: Being thrown hard into the Moon surface by Rita and punched into the ground by the Dino Megazord didn't faze the Snizzard.
  • Hand to Hand Combat: Like the original, the Snizzard was s skilled fighter as he overwhelmed Jason, Tommy and Kimberly although his ability to fight Tommy suggests he was even more skilled than before.
  • Agility: The Snizzard dodged back from a kick and swoop kick from Kimberly both by jumping back.
  • Speed: The Snizzard was able to run fast enough to keep up with the RadBug 2 and dodge Billy's Blade Blaster shots.
  • Teleportation: The Snizzard could teleport in large red-black energy columns.
  • Energy Beams: The Snizzard could fire powerful green energy beams from the "Zapper Apple" atop his head. This was seemingly his strongest attack since he used it as a last resort but the Dino Megazord dodged it.

Weaknesses[]

  • Robotics: Due to being a robot, the Snizzard was susceptible to magnets as seen in the Angel Grove Junkyard.

Arsenal[]

  • Snake Hands: Unlike the original, the resurrected Snizzard had hands more resembling snake mouths with real fangs that he could use to beat down his enemies.
    • Paralysing Venom: The Snizzard could bite down on his opponent's arm with his fanged hands to inject them with green mist-like venom that would instantly and completely paralyse them.
    • Tonsil Snake Projection: An upgraded version of the Snizzard's Tonsil Snakes where he would open his snake hands to spew energy snakes to restrain his enemies.
      • Shrink Entrapment: After trapping his enemies in the snakes, the Snizzard could then shrink down his enemies into tiny action figure-like forms.
      • Movement Destruction: As mentioned by Billy, if the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers tried to move the shurnken Rangers without destroying the Snizzard, they would be destroyed.

Trivia[]

    • This was cut for time but the Power Blaster beam clearly struck him immediately before he exploded in "Foul Play in the Sky."
