General Trayf was a pig monster that served as the primary villain of the episode "Pork Chopped".
History
Ninja Storm
This pig-like alien was recruited from the planet Hamhock by Zurgane to use his powers against the Rangers.
He was disguised as a movie theater mascot chicken serving popcorn and had the Kelzaks disguise themselves as movie watchers and traps Blake and Hunter in a tub of popcorn full of artificial flavoring.
He lures the Rangers through a portal into another dimension, but they managed to overcome his tricks and took him down with the Storm Striker. With the Thunder Rangers now free, and detained by Kelzaks accompanied by Marah and Kapri, General Trayf makes matters worse by making himself grow without the aid of the Scroll of Empowerment.
Hunter and Blake fought the Kelzaks whilst the others summon the Storm Megazord. He initially easily overpowered it but was knocked down by the Turtle Mace. The Rangers then summoned the Ram Hammer and combined the weapons into the Flail Combo which destroyed him. In the end, his remains were cooked and eaten by Lothor's forces as baby back rib barbecue.
