Power Rangers: Bones The Skeleton Lord




A powerful monster created by Finster and a loyal warrior to the forces of evil. Bones is, obviously, a skeleton monster, and was a scary foe on the battlefield. Not because he was particularly strong but because of his bag of tricks. His favorite trick was to turn invisible, run around among the chaos of a battlefield, stab or blast his victims from surprise, and move on to the next one. Another cheap trick he likes to use is to hide among a pile of dead bodies or old skeletons and stab his target from surprise. That's not to say he isn't a good fighter, he is legitimately a skilled swordsman, and he's legitimately nearly indestructible since with the exception of his head, he can just reassemble his skeleton body if it gets broken apart, but he likes to kill his victims from surprise and fight with a huge advantage rather than fight fairly. This ties into his darkest powers. Fitting with his death motif, he has the ability to drag others into his dimension, Dead World, which takes the appearance of a twisted, broken down, lifeless version of whichever world he is currently on. With skeletons everywhere.

While in this dimension, he can summon an endless army of skeleton warriors and zombies to aid him in combat.



One or two or even a group of them aren't particularly strong but the problem comes from the fact that they just won't stop coming and there is an unlimited horde of them attacking, meaning that Bones can just overwhelm his victims with sheer numbers and then move in for the kill once they are worn down. The world being full of skeletons also means that he can just rebuilding his body if his bones are ever broken apart, again, so long as his head remains unharmed.

Bones had been a pain in the neck for the forces of good back during The Great War until he met his match at the hands of the Ninjetti Rangers, a team of Space Ninja Rangers trained by Ninjor himself.

It was supposed to be a simple job for him: Asassinate The King and Queen Of The Thammadrians Royal Family: Valentinian Thammada and Saovabhark ben Thammada.

Sneaking in under his invisibility was easy enough but unfortunately for Bones, the Ninjetti Rangers, having been suspicious of the various assassinations he'd caused, had placed themselves around the castle and waited. When Bones tried to sneak past one of them he got kicked in the face. This knocked him out of his invisibility and the Ranger alerted the others. They swiftly joined him and the battle commenced. Despite his swordsmanship he was outmatched against all of them at once and beaten up and his body was blasted apart....and then he reformed it. But he still couldn't win. To that end, Bones detached his head and threw it into the air where it released a spiraling portal from his eyes and mouth that warped them into his dimension with him.

When they realized they'd been transported they found themselves within the broken and destroyed castle walls surrounded by skeletons and an approaching horde of zombies.

Unable to get in contact with anyone they were forced to go on the run as they tried to figure out what was going on.

After a bit of exploration they were able to figure out that they were indeed trapped in some sort of twisted mirror of the world they were just on and that the horde of undead monsters wasn't going anywhere.
