Rhinix is a rhino-like alien criminal who was hired by Emperor Gruumm to destroy the B-Squad Rangers. Rhinix bought a chemical from Piggy, that can turn people into the ooze, which Rhinix can use as an energy. Rhinix serves as the main antagonist of the episode "Dogged".
History[]
Rhinix is an intergalactic rhino-like criminal. In the fifth episode, Rhinix attacked Newtech City, where he cornered Piggy and demanded from him a formula that could turn people into ooze. When Piggy gave him the formula, Piggy demanded the payment and Rhinix used it to turn Piggy into slime, but Piggy quickly reverted back.
Rhinix realized that it was a wrong formula and demanded the real formula. Piggy demanded the payment from Rhinix, who responded by giving him rotten eggs as his payment. Piggy commented that eggs were putrid and they were great. Rhinix then demanded the real formula and Piggy gave him the real formula, but asked Rhinix not to use it on him, but on someone else.
When a policeman arrived to see what was happening, Rhinix utilized the formula on him and transformed the man into ooze. Rhinix was proud of his job and gathered the ooze to use it as energy, while Piggy watched in horror.
Rhinix also kidnapped and turned many other people in the industrial district into slime. He then continued to do so until the B-Squad Rangers arrived, prompting him to summon Krybots. The Rangers defeated the Krybots and then battled Rhinix, who used his steel boomerangs in the battle. Rhinix successfully fought the heroes and then left.
Later, Sydney found some ooze and brought it to the Delta Base and Kat scanned it, detecting that this oil based energy fluid possesses the traces of human DNA and this clue will help the Power Rangers find the kidnapped people.
Rhinix later arrived at the ship of Emperor Gruumm and showed him his energy fluid, which was made from humans, whom Rhinix called the most interesting forms. Rhinix was recruited by Gruumm and continued kidnapping people in the city.
Later, Syd gave R.I.C. the ooze to smell and R.I.C. led the Rangers to the wasteland to the spot where Rhinix held the banks with people transformed into ooze. When Syd went out of Rhinix's repository, Rhinix attacked her. Syd morphed and battled the villain.
Rhinix easily defeated the Pink Ranger and called her useless and suggested that she surrender. Syd was losing and the alien was about to finish her but R.I.C. arrived and helped her. Syd and R.I.C. combined their powers to defeat Rhinix and Syd even cut off the criminal's horn with her Deltamax Blaster. Rhinix was horrified of losing his horn, as he valued it and considered it beautiful.
Then the other Rangers arrived and allowed R.I.C. to defeat Rhinix. R.I.C. transformed into the Canine Cannon while Syd used the Judge Scanner on Rhinix, who is found guilty. Then the criminal was defeated by the Canine Cannon and captured by Syd in the Data Card. After Rhinix was defeated, all the people he captured reverted back to normal. TV STORY-Dogged
In the twenty-fourth episode, Rhinix was one of the clones used by Slate. Rhinix's clone was destroyed by Jack with his S.P.D. Battlizer. TV STORY-Reflection
