―The Snizzard after Kimberly killed two of Snizzard's snakes with a single arrow and his final words before his destruction.[src]

"My circuits! They burn!"
―Robo-Snizzard's final words before his destruction.[src]

The Snizzard was a snake/lizard-themed monster who served as the main antagonist of the episode "Foul Play in the Sky".

During the events of Power Rangers in Space, Snizzard returned as one of the many monsters, who served under the United Alliance of Evil.

Many years later, during the events of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always, he returns as Robo Snizzard, by Robo Rita.

History

Mighty Morphin

An illustration of the Snizzard is shown in a page of Finster's monster book when he looks for the Knasty Knight's information. Tvicon TV STORY-Happy Birthday, Zack

The Snizzard is created by Finster by order of Rita to destroy the Power Rangers whilst Kimberly is trapped on a plane with her unconscious Uncle Steve. Rita sends the Snizzard to Earth where he is confronted by four of the Rangers in Angel Grove Park and overwhelms and nearly destroys them with an arrow charged with energy from his crown's Zapper Apple. However, Kimberly (having landed her plane thanks to Alpha's help) arrives and saves her teammates. After defeating a group of Putty Patrollers that the Snizzard summons using her Power Bow, Kimberly slays the reptilian monster by firing an arrow of her own into his Zapper Apple which obliterates him instantly. Tvicon TV STORY-Foul Play in the Sky

Later on, when the Rangers are sent to the Island of Illusion by Lokar they are attacked by the illusions of monsters that they had already defeated, one of which is the Snizzard. However, the monsters disappear before getting too close and don't harm anyone. Tvicon TV STORY-Island of Illusion

Snizzard is brought back by Doomstone in the Haunted Forest to destroy Tommy after Goldar traps him. He fights Trini and is easily defeated, being left alive in the Forest as the Rangers escape. Tvicon TV STORY-Zedd's Monster Mash

The Snizzard is once again recreated (by Finster) to ambush the Power Rangers in the Specter Theater. He later attends Rita and Zedd's wedding, demonstrating that he is musically talented by playing an ominous variation on "Here Comes the Bride" on an organ which Zedd creates. Rita provides her own lyrics as she walks down the aisle, calling the song "Here Comes the Queen" to the tune of the Snizzard's music. During the following wedding breakfast, two Putty Patrollers use his tail as a jump rope as he wags it around from side to side while playing the organ. The Snizzard later sees them leave on their honeymoon in Serpentera to destroy the Earth but is not amongst the monster army that goes to Earth once the Power Rangers escape so what happens to him next is unknown. Tvicon TV STORY-The Wedding

In Space

Four years later, the Snizzard reappears in Rita and Zedd's army as they conquer the Vica Galaxy for the United Alliance of Evil. Although he is never seen again, the Snizzard is presumably destroyed by Zordon's Energy Wave. Tvicon TV STORY-Countdown to Destruction

Once & Always

Snizzard and Minotaur Return

Snizzard returned as Robo Snizzard confronting the Rangers.

When Rita Repulsa returned in a new robotic form, she resurrected Snizzard and Minotaur in similar robotic bodies. Robo-Snizzard and Robo-Minotaur captured Jason, Tommy, and Kimberly, forcing Billy to escape with Zack and Minh Kwan in Billy's new RADBUG.

Robo-Minotaur and Robo-Snizzard have been tracking Rangers all over the universe by using the Putties as bait to lure the Rangers in Angel Grove, Robo-Snizzard had a brief fight against Rocky DeSantos, but Billy warned Rocky not to get grabbed by Robo-Snizzard.

They meet up with the Rangers saving people from Putty Patrollers, however the Rangers demorphed and teleported to the Command Center.

Robo-Minotaur along with Robo-Snizzard assisted Robo-Rita in her scheme to capture several Rangers all over the universe.

Snizzard and Minotaur on the junkyard

Robo-Snizzard and Robo-Minotaur trapped by the giant electromagnet.

At the junkyard, Billy, Rocky and Kat morph to lure out Robo-Snizzard and Robo-Minotaur, then trap them in a giant electromagnet.

Back at the junkyard, Robo-Minotaur and Robo-Snizzard meets Minh again who grabs a spare device and Trini's Morpher. She tries to use it to attack the monsters but is abducted by Robo-Rita.

Upon reaching the palace, the Rangers find Rita's machine there, seeing that she has already captured members of multiple Ranger teams. Billy discovers that Rita has been creating a time portal. Rita and her monsters arrive with Minh in tow and reveals her plan - to travel to the past and give knowledge of the future to her past self, and kill the original Mighty Morphin team.

Robo Snizzard defeated by the Rangers

Robo-Snizzard defeated by the Dino Megazord.

After that, Minh breaks free and takes the shot from Rita instead. She miraculously survives. The team of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are complete again, going to confront Robo-Rita and her monsters.

He was later transformed into a giant by Robo-Rita and fought the Dino Megazord. Robo-Snizzard was ultimately destroyed by the Megazord, with his destruction allowing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to rescue their captured comrades. Tvicon TV STORY-Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always

Personality

The Snizzard was a violent, sadistic, and intelligent monster who was also a cunning, arrogant and skilled fighter. However, he remained loyal to Rita and Zedd.

As Robo Snizzard, he was basically same as his original self. He also had a sarcastic side, telling Minh Kwan to give more specific description on Robo Rita when she brought up their encounter at the cemetery.
