The Rangers helped Patrick and saw Officer Hemming, but they ran after they saw it was a Craterite (who after seeing them, alerts the other Craterite), after bringing Patrick back to his mother, both the Red and Pink Rangers tried to battle the Crateries themselves in a forest, but they were out match, especially when the Craterite Leader came along and attack the Rangers with his shear power, he was about to make the final strike on the Rangers, but luckily the Black, Blue and Yellow Rangers came to the rescue and the Red Ranger fired the Spiral Saber at both the Craterites and their leader, but they weren't finish yet, all of the Craterites gathered around the leader and combined to form a large Craterite-like monster called: The Craterite Conglomerate. The Rangers form the Astro Megazord to battle this massive behemoth, every time they made a hole in this monster, it fills in back up, but they managed to destroy the Craterite Conglomerate and send the Craterites back to the Simudeck by firing the Astro Megazord Blaster at the leader located on it's chest.

Notes
The Craterites action figure with Bibidebi figurette for the Power Rangers In Space toyline released by Bandai in spring 1998.
- The Craterite Conglomerate is the first monster in Power Rangers history to be a monster made entire out of foot solders. The Vivizords would later become the second, occurring regularly.
- The Craterites are actually the Enemy Foot Soldiers of Denji Sentai Megaranger. The episode that introduced the Craterites uses footage from several Megaranger episodes. The simu-deck fight is from episode 1. Footage of the disguised Craterites, the Craterite Leader giving a speech, the forest fight, and the Megazord fight are from episode 14. Footage of Craterites parachuting into the city is from episode 19. The fight outside the warehouse is from episode 25. Lastly, the fight at the beach is from episode 27.
- The Craterites are the first and (so far) only Enemy Foot Soldiers used solely by a team of Rangers (though only for training purposes).
- In Power Rangers S.P.D. Krybots were used by the Rangers, but only in one episode and were primarily Emperor Gruumm's soldiers.
- The Craterite action figure came with a toy of Bibidebi, a Megaranger villain who was never adapted for Power Rangers in Space. He's known as "Hyprus" on the packaging.
