When Lord Zedd takes over as the main villain in Season 2, Finster is suddenly made obsolete. Zedd makes his own monsters, though after Pirantishead (Zedd's first monster) is destroyed, Finster comments that he could have done better with the monsters he could have created for Zedd. Finster laments his current status among the villains, missing the time when Rita was in charge. When Rita returns from her exile, Finster helps her return to power – restoring her size, making her look younger and creating a love potion to get Zedd to marry her so she can manipulate him before destroying him as revenge for casting her away in space. He quickly noticed the love potion he created had some side effects, when Rita had a hard time trying to manipulate Zedd as he devoted his time with her (as well as Rita inadvertently falling in love with Zedd as well).
In the third season and the ''Mighty Morphin' Alien Rangers'' mini-series, Finster returns to making monsters. His love potion is first accidentally revealed to
Rito and eventually Goldar learns the truth. He forces Finster to make the antidote for Zedd. Though the antidote worked, he is just as surprised as anyone to find, though, that Zedd actually did love Rita.

In "Rangers of Two Worlds, Part 1", Finster makes a new Staff for Rita which is absurdly more powerful than the previous one, as it creates a monster that is too strong even for the Zeo Ultrazord. He also builds a bomb for Zedd's plan against the Machine Empire's leaders and Zedd successfully defeats them with it, proving to the machines that Zedd's party is their equal.

Appearing as a floating, demonic, ethereal, blue head, the powerful Lokar changes Mutitus to his more powerful form and assists in sending the Power Rangers to the Island of Illusions. He is an old friend of Rita's and she called on him for a favor to defeat the Rangers. After destroying Mutitus, the Power Rangers attack Lokar with the Ultrazord, but he manages to escape. Lokar is seen teleporting away just after the blast hits and Jason says, "We'll get him next time". He is an old friend of Rita Repulsa and she has called on him for a favor.
Lokar is later summoned again when Goldar goes into battle with his extremely powerful War Zord, Cyclopsis ("Doomsday, Parts 1 & 2"). Lokar, heavily scarred from the Ultrazord attack, recreates the War Zord when it falls to the Power Rangers' attack and then aids Cyclopsis in its next two battles against the Power Rangers, but disappears forever when Cyclopsis is destroyed by the Ultrazord. Early plans for the series that became ''Ninja Storm'' would have featured Lokar—like Scorpina—making a return appearance as a villain. He had a nephew named Lothorn.

Lord Zedd
Lord Zedd was the primary antagonist for the first 40 episodes of the second season and co-antagonist for the rest of season 2 and all of season 3.

Zedd has her punished by shrinking her and sealing her away in a space dumpster to travel for eternity. Despite his early defeats, Zedd's attack on Earth became progressively more violent and focused most of his attention on eliminating

, whom he saw as Rita's biggest mistake. He succeeded in eliminating the Green Ranger powers with the help of a Green Crystal that serves to drain Tommy's powers as well as serving to power up his own brand of evil rangers. After both the crystal and Turbanshell were destroyed, he finally succeeded in ridding the Green Ranger's powers.
Eventually, Zedd realizes the warning Rita had given him was true and he was having the same difficulties in defeating the Rangers as she had experienced. In retaliation, he brought forth his personal Zord, a large serpentine named Serpenterra. Despite the large Zord's advantage against the Thunder Zords, it had a serious flaw in using too much of its energy, which infuriated Zedd to no end. He attempts to find an infinite power source for Serpenterra to no avail. Soon it came time for Zedd's Centennial Energy Recharge and while he undergoes it, Rita makes a secret return for revenge against him. Upon awakening under the love potion, Zedd immediately fell in love with Rita much to her delight, and proposed to her. However, the love potion did not work as Rita hoped; she planned to turn Zedd sycophantic to her under the potion, but somehow he remains in control and attempted to dominate over Rita as a commanding husband. He even wants Rita to produce heirs for him, much to her hysterical outrage and leading her to order Finster to work on an antidote. After their wedding, they often bickered with each other when failing to overcome one another but remained together. Zedd became less serious about defeating the Rangers and more focused on his life with Rita, while Rita remains determined to defeat them with Zedd's aid. In time, Rita was unknowingly falling in love with Zedd too and accepts her status as his wife and co-leader to their minions.
With Zedd and Rita side by side, the Rangers' battles were more difficult. Zedd and Rita's schemes together included creating a clone of the evil Tommy and sending the Rangers back into the past. Zedd also had a rivalry against

During the Pink Ranger fiasco when Zedd had her held hostage to force the Rangers to use the Shogun Zords in his service, Lord Zedd battled Tommy personally to keep him from saving Kimberly from an alternate dimension. This marked the only time that Zedd had battled a Ranger personally, proving himself quite capable of holding his own, a trait passed down to his son in later years. Though Zedd easily gained the upper hand against the White Ranger, Tommy used Saba to shatter Zedd's Z-Staff, forcing him to retreat.

'', the necromancer Reaghoul revives Lord Zedd as a clone from before Rita married him (ensuring Zedd was at his evilest) and used a Compliance Collar to control him due to the Emperor of Evil not taking orders from anyone. He sends him to Area 62 to steal the Sporix in order to make himself even more powerful. After being provoked by Void Knight, Zedd reveals himself and defeats him easily as well as Slyther and Mucus. He prepares to kill Void Knight but Reaghoul stops him. Reaghoul and Void Knight agreed on an alliance. Reaghoul resurrects Brineblast and Wolgang too. Zedd defeats easily four Rangers except Ollie who succeeds to escape with Solon. Later, Ollie frees Zedd as destroying his Compliance Collar. Zedd prepares to destroy Reaghoul for controlling him but he escapes just in time with Mucus. After being repelled by the Dino Fury Rangers, Zedd retreats. After spending a brief time in outer space, Zedd eventually breaks into Grid Battleforce and retrieves his staff, growing ever more powerful.
Zedd deciphers a signal from the Rafkonian people informing survivors of the Sporix Beast Wars that the planet has been hidden and directs them to its co-ordinates. Zedd, along with Scrozzle and others, arrive at Rafkon with plans to seize the Sporix generator and create a new army on Earth. During a batlte with the Rangers, Zedd escapes with the generator and brings about the destruction of Rafkon. The Rangers pursue him to Earth, and Zedd is ultimately defeated and imprisoned in a crystal by the Green Morphing Master. In the ''Dino Fury'' finale, it is revealed that Zedd has escaped and he returns to his Moon Palace to come up with another plan.

), Bobby (portrayed by Aaron Atinsky), Tina (portrayed by Jhoanna Trias), and Kristen (portrayed by Tausha Spears) who just enrolled at Angel Grove High School and first appeared to the Rangers after knocking around Bulk and Skull. Lord Zedd took interest in them. Before both groups can spar, they are teleported to Otherworld by Lord Zedd. Using a Green Crystal he filled, Lord Zedd transformed them into the Dark Rangers as the Rangers tried inform them what Lord Zedd would do with them to no avail. When the Green Ranger destroyed the Green Crystal, the punks were returned to Angel Grove in a normal state. They later made amends with the Rangers.
* In the 1995 comic series, another version of the Dark Rangers was formed in the issue "Dark Thunder." Lord Zedd harvested the energies of the old Dino Coins to create another version of the Dark Rangers who would control the rebuilt Thunderzords. Due to Angel Grove not having any worthy bad people, Lord Zedd had to find worthy bad people around the world. He gained a bully from

Zordon commented that a Dark White Ranger would be impossible to create since the powers of the White Ranger can't be corrupted by evil.
* In issue #51 of the 2016 comic series, Lord Zedd created a version of the Dark Rangers where he tricked the Rangers into charging the Green Chaos Crystal using the monster Psychoslug. Once that was done, Lord Zedd teleported the Green Chaos Crystal to him. Noting that his last team of Rangers was weak due to human traits, he planned to transform his minions into the Dark Rangers. In need of a fifth Ranger to lead them, Lord Zedd freed Rita Repulsa from her dumpster and turned a Putty Patroller into a clone of her to serve him. When the transformation was complete, the Putty Rita Repulsa became the Dark Red Ranger, Baboo became the Dark Black Ranger, Squatt became the Dark Blue Ranger, Goldar became the Dark Yellow Ranger, and Finster became the Dark Pink Ranger.

Under the Wizard of Deception's powers, the Dragonzord's strength level is on par with the White Ranger's Tigerzord, but only because the White Ranger's power was temporarily weakened by the Wizard.

Angel Grove. He then confronted Tommy, who was suffering a headache, caused by some of his powers being used to recreate the Green Ranger. The two Rangers fought each other to a draw until the Wizard intervened, zapping Tommy with his wand, causing him to demorph and lie in a coma. The Green Ranger then went to the Command Center to threaten Zordon, and then unleashed the Dragonzord on Angel Grove.
When Tommy was revived to full strength, he summoned his White Tigerzord to defend the city, but Dragonzord, energized by the Wizard's evil, soundly beat him. Tommy then stole the Wizard's wand, went back to rescue the other Rangers, and brought them back to summon the Thunder Megazord and deal with the Dragonzord. He then destroyed the Wizard, breaking the spell on the Green Ranger, whom he now called Tom.
Tom, much like Tommy was, was sick with remorse after being freed from the spell, but Tommy convinced him that he could still do good based on his own experience. Tom broke the spell on the Dragonzord and sent him back to the sea. The White and Green Rangers went back in time to colonial Angel Grove to destroy the Rat Monsters the Wizard had created to torture the other Rangers. Afterwards, despite Tommy's attempts to persuade Tom to join the Power Rangers, Tom decided to stay in colonial Angel Grove so he could make up for his past deeds, rejecting the restored Green Ranger powers, therefore Tom's power coin was removed from circulation, which makes the appearance of the Mighty Morphin’ Green Ranger in Super Megaforce's legendary war confusing, since Tommy's head is overlaid with a white ranger helmet when he saves a kid left in a car hanging over the edge of a long fall, despite this Green Ranger still appears to help defeat the Armada even though we don't see the White Ranger.

''. He very nearly succeeded with the aid of an energy-draining monster he created and called the Blue Globber. After capturing Ninjor, the Crystal and the Rangers' Zords, Vile decided to throw an "End of the World Party" in the Angel Grove Youth Center before he would use the Zeo crystal to destroy the earth. However, Vile throwing his party gave the rangers the time and opportunity to locate and retrieve their Zords. Vile grew to giant size after Ninjor regained his energy and joined the Rangers in their battle against the Globber. Although his monster was destroyed, Vile survived the finishing attacks of both the Shogun and Ninja Megafalconzord, and still managed to retreat despite not appearing to be that badly hurt. On his retreat to the moon, he considered the failure nothing more than a minor setback and decided to stay.
Vile later summoned his old ally Dischordia (a monster that uses dance to control her victims) to battle the Rangers, and she nearly succeeded in taking control of the Rangers' minds. Vile was foiled once again, as Dischordia met her end courtesy of Ninjor and the Shogun Ultrazord.

After being overthrown by the Machine Empire at the start of ''Power Rangers Zeo'', Rita called her father and begged him to let them stay with him. Vile reluctantly agreed knowing that his daughter would be bringing "that husband of hers" and told them not to wake him when they arrive. Master Vile also stated that the Machine Empire was worse than he was.
Master Vile appeared in the ''Power Rangers Zeo'' comic book, in which the forces of the Machine Empire attacked his planet looking for Lord Zedd, who was in possession of the Ninja Power Coin energies after he and Rita destroyed them in the television series. In the end, Master Vile handed the energies over to the Machine Empire despite the Rangers' attempts to stop the Machine Empire from getting them. The Power Coin energies subplot went unresolved and has since been deemed non-canon.
Master Vile was last seen on the Cimmerian Planet, attending Dark Specter's conference. He was most likely purified (like his daughter) or destroyed by Zordon's Wave during the battles that succeeded the conference.

Putty Patrol
The Putty Patrol is the standard foot soldiers deployed by Rita Repulsa during the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. They are based on the Golem Soldiers in ''Zyuranger'' and are made from clay. Though neither particularly strong, intelligent, nor resilient, their basic power of numbers allow them to be a regular challenge to the Power Rangers. Occasionally, some of them were encountered that seemed a little smarter (Jason at one point fought one that was able to drive a car). Putties are mass-produced in Finster's Monstermatic through use of steam-pressured molds and then sent through the Monstermatic in large numbers. Putties do have some manner of spoken language, though it is incomprehensible to humans, coming across as strings of garbled noises.
There had been some special Putty Patrollers that had been exclusive to each of Rita Repulsa's monsters.
* In "High Five", the Skeleton Warriors that assist Bones are skeleton-themed Putty Patrollers.
* In "Trick or Treat" Pumpkin Rapper is assisted by Putty Patrollers who have pumpkins for heads.
* In "Football Season", Rhinoblaster has some Putty Patrollers that are trained at American football, football and make up his football team.
* In "Mighty Morphin' Mutants", Goldar trains six Putty Patrollers to fight like the Power Rangers. When one of them fails the training due to its clumsiness, Goldar teleports that Putty Patroller back into Finster's clay pot. The other five Putty Patrollers are given the Badges of Darkness which turn them into the Mutant Rangers, evil counterparts of the Power Rangers. These Putties become the Mutant Rangers while Finster creates Commander Crayfish to use in place of their Red one, after Goldar had destroyed the Red Badge of Darkness. The Female Mutants are destroyed by the Power Blaster while the Male ones are later destroyed along with Commander Crayfish by the Ultrazord

There are different variants of the Putties:

The Tengas also have the power of speech. The Tenga Warriors effectively replace the Putties because they cannot be destroyed easily as they can.

Ivan then begins brainwashing the parents of Angel Grove into digging up and repairing his Ecto-Morphicons (large insect-like machines similar to the Rangers' Zords) Hornet, Hornitor and Scorpion, Scorpitron which he turns loose to rampage in Angel Grove. After this, he tells the parents to go and "leap to their doom", but the parents' children, with some help from Bulk and Skull, stop them.

Oozemen
The Oozemen are Ivan Ooze's foot soldiers that are made from his own ooze. Their name is not mentioned in the movie proper, but they are instead referred to as Ivan's "kids" just seconds before he forms them. The Oozemen proved to be too strong for the Rangers unmorphed, forcing them to call upon their powers. They are highly resilient to pain and fatigue, but if smashed by something hard enough, they are reduced to ooze.
In the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Sega Game Gear adaptions of ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (video game), Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie'', they are officially called Oozemen.
Monsters

To make them grow, Rita throws her wand to Earth which emits energy that causes the Earth to shake and split open, releasing a steam that then enlarges the monster.
