History[]
Cosmo first appeared to welcome the audience to the Warrior Dome, Galvanax's base and the stage for the Galaxy Warriors show. He then introduced the next contestants, Lavagor and Korvaka, vying for the chance to try and pull out one of the Ninja Power Stars from the Ninja Nexus Prism and become a champion like Galvanax. After transporting them to the battlefield, he released Buzzcams from under his hat to display the fight. When Korvaka won the battle and returned, he presented him with the Prism. Once the Prism zapped Korvaka, Cosmo informed him that while he didn't win a Ninja Power Star, he did win a trip to the hospital. TV STORY-Return of the Prism
Cosmo Royale is shoved aside by Galvanax who declares to the audience that whoever destroys the Power Rangers will be named champion. Cosmo later sends Ripperat to destroy Mick Kanic, Calvin Maxwell and Hayley Foster in order to get the Ninja Steel. After Ripperat was destroyed, Cosmo Royale uses the Gigantify Ray on Ripperat to fight the Rangers upon a unanimous vote from the audience. After Ripperat's final demise at the hands of the Rangers' Zords, Cosmo happily tells Galvanax about how well the show's ratings are doing thanks to the Rangers. However, Galvanax doesn't care about the ratings and vows that the Power Stars will be his, which Cosmo nervously agrees with. TV STORY-Forged in Steel

After the Ninja Steel Megazord destroys the Skullgator, Cosmo tries to cheer up an angry Galvanax by telling him that the audience loved the Rangers' new Megazord.

Personality[]
As the host of Galaxy Warriors, he is witty, charismatic, comical, and a bit egocentric, behaving like a stereotypical game show host.
Unlike most previous villains and his fellow members, he actually doesn't seem to have much of a problem with the Power Rangers being around as long as they boost up the ratings, meaning he prioritizes his show and his business over Galvanax's goals. In several episodes, he openly applauds the Rangers after they win. At the same time, he obeys Galvanax rather out of fear and is very loyal to him and despite of his show is happy when his master was about to crush the Rangers in his final battle. After Galvanax's death, his loyalty shifted to Madame Odius but he still prioritizes his show over her goals. Despite of his show, he remains one of her loyal generals and wishes for the destruction of the Rangers.

Design[]
to be added
Etymology[]
- His name is a combination with Cosmo (relating to the world or the universe) and Royale (referring to Battle Royale).
Notes[]
- Cosmo Royale's costume is a recycled version of Baron Nero's costume from Ressha Sentai ToQger (which was not adapted into Power Rangers and came before Shuriken Sentai Ninninger) while sporting a new head and shrunken shoulders. This type of recycling would then be followed by Santaura whose Void Queen form would use Madame Noir's costume (also from ToQger), though completely unmodified unlike Cosmo's costume.
- Cosmo Royale is Campbell Cooley's first role as a villain who is not all completely adapted from Super Sentai. Cooley would later follow this trend with Scrozzle.
- Cosmo Royale's voice is based on comedian Ed Wynn and Charlie in the Box, from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
- Cosmo Royale is the third Power Rangers villain adapted from a different Sentai series than the one his respective season was based off of and the first villain to be adapted from a Sentai series that wasn't adapted into a Power Rangers season. The first was Furio from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, whose costume came from Denji Sentai Megaranger, not Seijuu Sentai Gingaman. The second was Master Org, who's costume came from Gosei Sentai Dairanger, not Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger.
- As opposed to Ninninger where as Madame Odius' counterpart was he one who grew the monsters and summon the Gashadokuro, he is the one growing the monsters and summoning the giant Skullgators with a special machine.
- His facial expression is able to change based on his mood. He normally looks happy, but has an angry expression when Spinferno tried to upstage him in Live and Learn, along with a shocked expression when learning that Tangleweb had eaten a Kudabot in Drive to Survive. The same episode also shows that he is able to rapidly spin his head in order to turn his face back to normal. Because of this, he shares some similarity to the Mayor of Halloween Town from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
- He is quite similar to Octoroo from Samurai. Both are quite short, both have purple-ish skin and both are very loyal to their respective masters, in this case, Xandred, Galvanax and Madame Odius.
- His name is based on the title of James Bond movie, Casino Royale.
- In the Arabic dub of the show, he is the main villain. Though, his personality still remains the same.
- Cosmo has never been shown to have gone down to Earth, unless the viewers count Grave Robber, but that was technically inside a different world equivalent to Earth.
- Cosmo has the distinction of being one of the few non-human characters (Super Sentai or Power Rangers) to have alternate suit parts for larger emotional ranges. He has some of the most variant head pieces, with a total of 5.
