Amphibidor is a robotic frog monster who serves as the primary villain of the second part of the three-part episode "Thunder Strangers".

History

Amphibidor is recruited by Zurgane to deal with the Rangers. While he sends his Polytrons in a lake to absorb the water, he _targets Tori, who tried to morph, but she does not have her Morpher so she has to fight him powerless. Amphibidor made a beatdown on Tori, but right before he was about to make the final strike, Blake stepped in to help out riding on his Motor Cycle. He took the Polytron attack for Tori and was badly hurt. With Tori powerless and Blake wounded, Amphibidor made his escape.

He then later returned and battled both the Red, Yellow and Blue Ninja Rangers, and had the upper hand until the Thunder Rangers came and (much to Amphibidor's confusion) attack him. Amphibidor was no match for the Thunder Rangers and was destroyed by the Thunder Blaster. The Thunder Rangers destroyed the monster to return the favor.

When Amphibidor grows, the Rangers summoned the Storm Megazord to battle this frog monster. He had the upper hand until they equipped the Ram Hammer to knock the Polytrons back at him, but he wasn't finished yet. The Storm Megazord then used the Ram Hammer's ultimate move to destroy Amphibidor. TV STORY-Thunder Strangers
