Biography[]
Past[]
Wolfbane was manufactured by the Machine Empire, working under King Mondo and Queen Machina. Compared to their other monsters, Wolfbane was immensely powerful and was largely used to destroy the enemy with brute force. With their monsters and never-ending army of Cogs, the Machine Empire was able to devastate and conquer entire galaxies.
Zeo[]
In 1996, King Mondo leads his Machine Empire to the Moon where they drive out Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa but their invasion is ultimately stalled by the interference of the Zeo Rangers.
After the destruction of Admiral Abominator, King Mondo plans an ambush by dividing the Zeo Rangers with two separate distress signals; one in Angel Grove Forest and another in the Angel Grove Power Plant. Whilst the Cogs attack Tommy and Adam in the Power Plant, more ambush Rocky, Kat and Tanya with Prince Sprocket then sending Wolfbane to finish them off. Despite being outnumbered, he easily overwhelms the three Rangers and withstands their special attacks without a scratch only to be withdrawn when the arrival of a mysterious pyramid from space causes a major power surge in the Machine Skybase. Once the Rangers split up to use Signal Emitters to track the pyramid, Mondo sends Wolfbane and the Cogs once again to keep them busy whilst the Empire tracks down and destroys the pyramid. Wolfbane and his army ambush Rocky, Kat and Tanya in the quarry. Despite Adam and Tommy quickly joining, Wolfbane easily defeats them; restraining Kat and Tanya for a while as well as effortlessly tossing Tommy.
As Wolfbane prepares to finish them off though, he and his Cogs are attacked by an energy streak which is revealed as the pyramid's occupant; a Gold Ranger. Horrified by the new Ranger, Mondo sends Cog reinforcements and even Quadrafighters but the Quadrafighters are completely ineffective and the Cogs are defeated. In the meantime, Wolfbane attacks the Rangers whilst Gold is distracted but is then forced to fight the Gold Ranger who avoids all of Wolfbane's attacks and finishing him off with energy balls from the Golden Power Staff. Frustrated, Mondo has Klank send Orbus and enlarge Wolfbane just as the Rangers are about to confront the Gold Ranger; forcing them to summon the Zeo Megazord. However, it proves to be completely helpless against Wolfbane with even the Zeo Megazord Sabre failing to land a successful hit so Tommy summons the Red Battlezord but even its firepower fails to scratch the monster and Wolfbane easily decimates the Zords; completely defeating them. Before he can destroy the ejected Rangers though, the Gold Ranger summons his Zord; Pyramidas which proves immune to Wolfbane's attacks and easily destroys the monster for good with a devastating energy wave.

| ~ Wolfbane's arrogance. |
Wolfbane is an extremely powerful monster, leading him to be extremely arrogant and sure of himself as well as relentlessly mocking and belittling his enemies. Being wolf based, he usually included included howls at the ends of sentences and made a plethora of Little Red Riding Hood references. As another result of being animal based, he made continual references to eating the Rangers although he lamented them being a lesser meal after growing giant.
Wolfbane is also extremely sadistic, digging his claws into a downed Tanya and throwing around his enemies with his bare claws. Intensely loyal to Prince Sprocket and King Mondo, Wolfbane retreats and attacks on command whilst also laughing at and belittling his many enemies.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Power: Wolfbane is one of the most powerful monsters in Zeo and the most powerful monster in the franchise up to that point, being able to defeat all five Zeo Rangers as well as the Zeo Megazord and Red Battlezord as well as withstand all of their special attacks. As such, it made him more powerful than monsters like the Defoliator and Mace Face as well as Main Drain. Only the new Gold Ranger and Pyramidas were able to defeat him for good.
- Strength: Single swings from Wolfbane's claws took down the Zeo Rangers and simply moving his arms flung Tanya to the ground hard enough to stun her. He could also grab and toss away Rocky as well as effortlessly hold Kat and Tanya in place. When giant, single smacks from his claws knocked around the Zeo Megazord with a stab to the chest completely knocking it down.
- Headbutt: When giant, a single headbutt from Wolfbane knocked the Zeo Megazord into stumbling back.
- Durability: Wolfbane's skin is nearly impenetrable, being immune to the special attacks from Tanya's Zeo II Power Clubs, Rocky's Power Tonfas and Kat's Pink Power Shield finishers and even the Advanced Zeo Laser Pistols just grazed his gut. When giant, he completely shrugged off multiple slashes from the Zeo Megazord Sabre and the Red Battlezord's firepower.
- Deflection: Wolfbane's skin was so thick that Rocky's Zeo III Power Axes' attack bounced off of him and sent Zeo Ranger III flying to the ground.
- Expert Fighter: Wolfbane is a brutally efficient fighter who easily overwhelmed three Zeo Rangers singlehandidly just using his claws.
- Teleportation: Wolfbane can teleport by making a giant visage of his face explode from him.
- Flight: Despite lacking wings, Wolfbane can fly at high speeds as seen when he arrived on Earth to ambush Tanya, Kat and Rocky.
- Ram Attack: Whilst flying, Wolfbane can ram into his enemies with enough force to knock Kat, Rocky and Tanya down with one hit.
- Lightning Blasts: Wolfbane can fire blue lightning from his horns or the centre of his forehead which are powerful enough to cause large explosions and knock down Tanya, Rocky and Kat with one hit.
- Laser Blasts: Wolfbane can fire powerful red lasers from the tips of his horns as either single shots or spreads or five. These took down all five Rangers with two shots.
- Fireball Spit: Wolfbane's strongest attack where he spews devastating orange fireballs from his mouth. These caused massive explosions and, when giant, defeated the Zeo Megazord and the Red Battlezord with a single hit as well as ejected the Rangers.
Arsenal[]
- Claws: Wolfbane has no weapons of his own but possesses razor sharp claws capable of inflicting devastating damage.
- Horns: Despite being a wolf, Wolfbane's head is tipped with razor sharp horns which are durable enough to withstand a slash from the Zeo Megazord Sabre and can be used to ram into the enemy.
