Finster, voiced by Robert Axelrod, was a henchmen of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd, though mostly the former. He resembled a humanoid white Scottish Terrier. During the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, he was primarily responsible for creating the monsters that battled the Rangers, although this function fell to Lord Zedd after his appearance. Finster did this by sculpting the monsters out of clay and 'cooking' them in a special machine in his workshop called the Monster-Matic.
Finster was later, presumably, vaporized by Zordon's energy wave in Power Rangers: In Space, though this is not known for sure, since he didn't appear to be evil but only a wise servant. Since Rita and Zedd were spared and left only with the manifestation of their own love perhaps Finster was spared and turned into a manifestation of his own genius. He was the one responsible for making the suggestion that Alpha 5 be used in "delivering the message of evil" as Rita Repulsa had called it.
Finster helps out Zedd and Rita with his knowledge of science and magic, creating monsters and new weapons for them to use against the Rangers. He was last seen participating in the assault on the universe by the Alliance of Evil. He was presumably destroyed by Zordon's wave.
[edit] Background Infomation
Finster is the original "monster maker" of Power Rangers. This role is often filled by other characters of Finster's type, such as Jinxer of Lightspeed Rescue and Morgana of SPD.
[edit] Trivia
- Though Finster remained on the moon after Lord Zedd's arrival, he would be missing during season 2 until "The Wedding: Part I".
- Coincidentally Finster's first appearance in American footage is in "The Mutiny: Part I".
- Though he is unseen and never mentioned in Go, Go, Parody Rangers, the character Renaldo (who is known for having comical affairs with Rita) is based off him.
