"Be a powerful ruler my sweet"
―Scorpius's last words before his death.[src]

Scorpius was an alien insectoid warlord, ruler of the inhabitants of the Scorpion Stinger and the main antagonist of the first half of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

History

He resembled a large arachnid with tentacles instead of legs. He was a truly antagonistic enemy of the Magna Defender, having attacked his planet 3,000 years ago and killed his only son, Zika.

Scorpius frequently attempted to gather powerful objects to himself, including the Quasar Sabers and the Lights of Orion. The result of these mad quests often left the objects in question in the hands of the Galaxy Power Rangers, and severely depleted Scorpius' army as they were either punished by him, or destroyed by the Rangers.

Scorpius had a daughter, Trakeena, upon whom he truly doted and adored. He refused to allow her to be involved in his evil deeds, and he would not allow her to engage the Rangers in battle despite her requests - all in attempts to protect her from becoming severely injured.

Eventually, Scorpius webbed a cocoon for his daughter. He told her that it was her time to enter the cocoon, to shed her mortal beauty and become an insect with magnificent powers, like him. With the help of the cocoon, Scorpius likely would have let Trakeena fight the rangers. Trakeena declined, for vanity reasons. When Scorpius tried to force her, she ran away and teleported out into space, eventually arriving on Onyx.

Death of Scorpius.

Scorpius had later met Deviot and appointed him as his new general. Deviot plotted against Scorpius, to depose him and enter the cocoon so that he could gain great powers. Deviot tricked Scorpius into attacking the Galaxy Power Rangers, saying that Trakeena was their prisoner. With an army of Stingwingers, Scorpius ambushed the Galaxy Rangers. Alone he proved to be a formidable force to be reckon with in battle. However, grabbing on his tentacles, the other rangers held the warlord down to allow Leo to deliver the final strike with his charged-up Quasar Saber and Power-Up Claw. Though Scorpius was mortally wounded, he survived long enough to flee back to the Scorpion Stinger. Trakeena returned to take his throne before Scorpius could pass it to Deviot. Before he died, Scorpius told Deviot to be as loyal to Trakeena as he had been to him. After he died, one of Scorpius's tentacles transformed into a new, more powerful staff for Trakeena.

Personality

When it comes to the conquest of the galaxy, Scorpius is a cold and ruthless warlord as shown when he destroys the Magna Defender's home planet and mercilessly kills his son Zika, when the latter tries to attack him.

He is a very strict father when it came to his daughter Trakeena, as shown when he gets angry at Trakeena due to her not wanting to enter the Cocoon out of fear for her beauty, to the point he tries to force her to enter, only for her to escape the Scorpion Stinger and flee to Onyx and be trained by Villamax shortly afterwards.

Despite this strictness however, he truly cared for her as he will often not let her be involved in his evil acts out of fear for her safety. This soon became apparent in "Heir to the Throne" when he thought the Rangers kidnapped her due to manipulation by Deviot, he then promptly went to Terra Venture and confronted the Rangers himself, and angrily demanded to know where Trakeena was. He refused to listen to the Rangers when they legitimately had no idea what he was talking about and attacked them, which led to his destruction and death at the hands of Leo Corbett.

Etymology

In keeping with the galaxy theme of this season, Scorpius was named after the constellation of the same name.

Notes

  • When Scorpius was invading the Magna Defender's home planet 3,000 years ago, among the monsters he brought with him were Radster, Sledge, Fishface, Impostra, and Motor Mantis, and Captain Mutiny.
  • Scorpius is American-produced and therefore has no direct Sentai counterpart.
  • The goo slime covering Scorpius is made from varnishing cream.
  • He shares his name with a constellation, though unlike an actual scorpion, he has six legs instead of eight.
  • Scorpius was possibly the fifth strongest monster throughout Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, the fourth are Barbarax and Deviot, the third is Villamax, the second being Captain Mutiny and the strongest being his daughter Trakeena.
  • Scorpius is the first main villain to be killed at the hands of the Rangers instead of an interdimensional energy wave.
  • It is implied that he once had a humanoid appearance like Trakeena and entered a cocoon like the one he made for her when he was her age and shedded his skin to become a powerful Insectoid, as he mentioned that transforming into a powerful metamorphosis was something they “all” had had to do, the “all” presumably being their ancestors, and him himself.
