Queen Bansheera

Queen Bansheera (whose name is based on the Banshee of Irish Mythology) is the evil monarch of the demons. She was in parts unknown when Diabolico and his band were freed, but eventually joins her subjects in the Skull Cavern by adopting a form made of pure energy. Her son, Prince Olympius, enacts a ceremony to restore her physical form; due to the Rangers' interference, the ceremony is only able to bring Bansheera back in a rudimentary, cocoon-like form. Later on, she absorbs Vypra's life energy to complete her resurrection and regain her true body.

Once restored, Bansheera sets out for world domination, proving far more ruthless than Diabolico or Olympius. She forces Diabolico to destroy Loki, leaves her own son in the Shadow World, and nearly destroys the Rangers. A vengeful Diabolico reveals her weak spot - her heart - to Carter, but she continues to menace the Rangers. She eventually turned Diabolico and Olympius into Super Demons, but they are defeated (after destroying several Megazords).

For her final plan, Bansheera intends to open a portal to the Shadow World (disguised as a sarcophagus) to free all the demons from the Shadow World. Taking over the Aquabase and the Omega Megazord, she was close to succeeding. However, Carter kicks her into the portal, forcing Bansheera to grab him in an attempt to drag him with her. During the final struggle, Diabolico's spirit intervenes as Queen Bansheera tells Diabolico that he was just in time to help. Diabolico reveals that he is actually here to help the Rangers defeat her as severing his queen's tentacles with an energy blast. Howling in defeat, Bansheera falls into the Shadow World where she is beaten up by the hordes of demons within.
