Monsters/Warriors

Most monsters listed below were among forces serving Scorpius and Trakeena. Unless otherwise noted, monsters were able to grow apparently under their own power. Names marked with an asterisk were listed in end credits. Names in brackets were monster-like roles fulfilled by what were arguably non-monsters. Most monsters bore one of four emblems, all of them seen on banners in Captain Mutiny's castle (letters A–D are for reference in the table below):

  • A: emblem resembling a golden V with wings
  • B: diamond-shaped emblem resembling a sunrise (or sunset?)
  • C: emblem resembling a golden eye with five downward eyelashes
  • D: trident-like multi-pronged emblem

Q&A

Who was the pickaxe monster in "The Magna Defender," and what is a Starcog?

In "The Magna Defender," Scorpius instructed Treacheron to take three monsters to stop the Magna Defender from gaining the Lights of Orion. Two monsters (Ruptor and Samuron) later appeared clearly in the episode, but beforehand, Leo encountered a silhouetted figure (the third monster?) striking a cave wall with a pickaxe (it fled at this point). Here's what we know about this figure:

  • Its shape didn't seem to match Ruptor or Samuron. (Its voice was low, perhaps like Samuron, but definitely not like Ruptor's higher voice.)
  • The now-defunct Fox Kids website (see text archive) listed an additional monster name for this episode: "Starcon."
  • In the preview for this episode (originally aired after "The Blue Crush" and present in Lost Galaxy DVDs released by Shout! Factory), Scorpius's voice was heard saying (in a line which was not included in the final episode), "The Lights of Orion… Bring them to me, [name here]." Whether he said Starcon, Starcog, or something else is open to interpretation (listen here), but note that the (not always reliable) captions transcribed it as "Starcom" (!). Curiously, this line was heard as the preview showed Ruptor attacking Kendrix to take the stone believed to contain the Lights.
  • The shape of the monster's silhouetted bulky torso roughly gave the impression of a star, leading some fans to associate this monster with the unused sentai monster Kugutsudayuu (which just so happened to be both starfish-related and cog-related, befitting "Starcog," if that were in fact what Scorpius said in his omitted line). Nonetheless, the shape of the silhouetted monster's head, forearms, and apparent tail weren't a perfect match for this sentai monster (in real life, the crew may or may not have had Kugutsudayuu's costume available at the time).
