Animus
From Power Rangers Universe
| This character has another face (Kite), they may only differ by good an evil or their age. |
Animus is a god-like zord similar to the Wild Force Megazord that aids the Rangers. Animus was an ancient creature of good that had been killed long ago by the original Master Org. The reincarnation of Animus, which later became this sentient Megazord, spent much time in this series as a small boy who named himself Kite after he looked at a kite. Animus is the ancestor of the Wild Force Megazord.
The Black Lion, Condor, Saw Shark, Buffalo, and Jaguar Wild Zords combine to form Animus in his Megazord form. Animus was twice destroyed by Master Org, once during the Battle of Animaria 3,000 years ago, and again in modern times in Turtle Cove. He returned to destroy Flute Org's Flute allowing the Rangers to call the Wild Force Megazord to destroy him with the Soul Cannon. Animus is never seen morphing together with any other Wild Zords, though he presumably is capable of doing so due to inherent interchangeability of the Wild Zords. He wields a large bow and can use the Animarian Arrow attack. Also in the Soul of Humanity he returned after taking the Wild Zords away to fight alongside the Predazord saying that he'd always wished to fight alongside Merick but had never gotten the chance to. In this battle he used a sword to strike and weaken an enemy allowing the Predazord to finish it off with the Blue Moon Wave. Considering the fact that all of the Wildzords were resurrected in the finale including the Rangers destroyed ones it is possible (and likely) that he was also resurrected once more.
Animus is the first Zord who is fully intelligent and able to speak.
Animus was voiced by Charles Gideon Davis and David Bowie, and Kite was played by Ryan Goldstein and Freddie Highmore.
