"Moondust soft and pliant, send to Earth a giant!"
Rita's incantation that summoned the Giant[src]

The Giant was a giant knight monster who served as the secondary antagonist of the episode "High Five."

History

After the destruction of Bones, Rita Repulsa doesn't give up and yells out an incantation that summons this giant monster. Once it appears in Angel Grove, it pulls Jason out of Bones's dimension and the bomb that Squatt and Baboo have planted explodes and sends the remaining Power Rangers out of the dimension and straight off a cliff.

The Giant is about to strike the now captive Red Ranger but Jason uses his Blade Blaster to blast the Giant in the eye, causing him to drop the hero. Now angered, the Giant tries to cleave the Power Rangers in two with his sword but they dodge and Jason, determined to stop the villain, summons the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord.

They square off in the countryside, wrestling arm to arm before the Giant throws off the Zord. The Giant pulls out its sword and slashes through it at impressive speeds but the Tyrannosaurus slaps him down with a double slash from its tail. The Giant tries to make a comeback but is restrained by the arm and double kicked down once it breaks free. Jason then finishes off the Giant with the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord's ground breath attack, obliterating the monster and reducing him to rubble which the Tyrannosaurus roars away.

Personality

The Giant was a very brutal and savage monster who enjoyed destroying everything at his path but was also unintelligent, only speaking in roars.
