Creepox was the mantis like-powerhouse of Warstar who is one of the four secondary antagonists of Power Rangers Megaforce and the main antagonist of its first arc.
History[]
Creepox wants to destroy the Earth and squash humanity underfoot with brutal force. He is also obsessed with taking down the Red Ranger by himself, whom he comes to see as his main rival. He is primarily sent down to Earth to explore it unnoticed. One day he bumped into Troy, the Red Ranger, stating that the two will duel one day.
Later, Creepox decided to deal with the Red Ranger personally while his monster Dragonflay deals with the other Rangers. Seeing that the Red Ranger is pretty good, he decided to return to the Warstar Spaceship, just to give the Red Ranger time to improve for another encounter. As a result, he left Dragonflay to his doom, making Creepox's attack a failure. 
TV STORY-Stranger Ranger
Creepox's demise on his final one-on-one duel with Troy, his arch-rival.
Later still, Creepox decided to take out all of the Rangers, while still maintaining a grudge against Troy. During this mission, he revealed he could attack by blasting powerful Meteor Shots. He proved strong enough to endure most of the Rangers attacks and weapons. He was eventually, and initially, destroyed by Troy. He was enlarged by Vrak, and the Zombats. While enlarged, Creepox could now blast electric attacks from his pincers, in addition to his signature Galaxy Meteor Shots. After being pummeled by Creepox, Gosei gave the Mega Rangers, care of Troy, the ability to form the Ultra Gosei Great Megazord, which defeated Creepox with its Victory Charge Ultra Mega Strike. TV STORY-Who's Crying Now?
Legacy[]
His demise has serious implications to the Insectoids, with Vrak fully taking over the role as second-in-command of Warstar, and as soon as the Toxic Mutants are found, Malkor wastes no time and sends Vrak to forge an alliance with them, intending to have Bigs and Bluefur as replacements to Creepox. Months after Creepox's demise, Vrak used Creepox as an example of someone who underestimates their opponents to Shadow Serpent, which also further notifies caution to Bigs and Bluefur, which then begin to think more before scheming. Creepox later appeared in the last of Glytcher's visions in "Raising Spirits".
Creepox was mentioned by Admiral Malkor, along with Bigs and Bluefur, while he conversed with Vrak about the demise of their fallen comrades. TV STORY-Rico the Robot (episode)
Creepox was mentioned one last time by Troy when he says to Vrak that they have destroyed his friends Creepox and Malkor, and that he will suffer the same fate. It was proven to be true when Vrak is destroyed for good by Troy after a fierce fight. TV STORY-Vrak is Back
Personality[]
Creepox is an innate warrior who holds a firm belief about ruling through strength. He is easily angered by even the most trivial matters and openly expresses his discontent to those around him, even towards Malkor and Vrak. Although utterly loyal to his leader, he is annoyed at how Vrak is favored by Admiral Malkor and has very little patience when it comes to planning and scheming. He also has a deep-seeded, personal rivalry with Troy. His over-inflated ego also bears a superiority complex towards humans, constantly bragging about the superiority of the Insectoids and belittling the Rangers. These traits make him the polar opposite of his cohort, partner and rival, Vrak, who sees to things with intelligence and usually keeps his cool even under severe pressure.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Fireball: Creepox can force energy in front of him to form a large fireball, and then launch the fireball at his opponents directly in front of him. The orb is extremely hot and cannot be blocked by anything for long.
- All Out Fireballs: Creepox can summon many fireballs from around himself and launch them at the enemy.
- Fireball Meteors: Creepox can launch a fireball into the sky, and it will rain down multiple fireballs like meteors.
- Energy Deflection: Creepox can deflect any energy-based attacks with ease.
- Rage Empowerment: Creepox can anger himself to trigger a brief but astonishing rise in power and skill.
Abilities[]
- Strength: Creepox is one of the seven main villains to battle the Mega Rangers and as such, possesses extraordinary strength. A single swing of his pincers sent Jake and Gia flying into a warehouse and he soon pinned Gia and her Tiger Claw down with one pincer.
- Armor: Creepox wears incredibly strong armor that lets him withstand numerous attacks. Being shot in the chest by the Mega Blasters was easily shrugged off and even Troy's Sky Strike did nothing except for making him stumble back a little.
- Skilled Fighter: In addition to his incredible raw strength, Creepox is also a skilled fighter since in the episode "Who's Crying Now?", he easily managed to dodge all of the Rangers' attacks and subdue them.
- Extraordinary Leaper: Creepox can leap at an incredible distance.
- Super Speed: Creepox can move extremely fast for short periods of time, using such short bursts to rapidly trounce and catch an adversary by surprise during battle.
- Agility: Creepox is able to move quick enough to dodge any attacks, allowing him to avert damage through fast collisions.
- Extreme Resilience: Even without his armor, Creepox's shelled skin is a natural armor to most attacks and provides him with ultimate durability, regardless of the circumstances.
- High Stamina: Creepox can continue to fight for long periods of time without tiring out, which enables him to outlast those against him if overpowering them is not an immediate option.
Weaknesses[]
- Overconfidence: Creepox overstepped his confidence, which resulted in his downfall.
Arsenal[]
- Mantis Scythes: His main weapons are the sickles attached to his forearms. They are extremely sharp and can be kept or become even more sharpened by slicing against one another.
- Meteor Shots: Creepox's signature attack where he draws his scythe arms in a circle around each other to generate a fireball that he would fling forth. Just one of these was powerful enough to knock down and critically injure Jake and Gia and a barrage of these broke through Noah's water shield in under a minute. All the Rangers de-morphed due to this shot (besides Emma, who did not fight Creepox herself).
- Galaxy Meteor Shot: A stronger version of his Meteor Shot ability used when he was enlarged. He can point forth his scythe arms to generate a large galaxy-like orb of purple energy that will turn into a fireball for him to fling forth. A barrage of these took down the Gosei Great Megazord.
- Final Burst: Creepox's strongest attack where he can focus all of his energy into a single pink flaming orb that splits into five pieces, directing it with his scythe arms, and then launch them at the enemy. It rivals or exceeds any countering technique and is enough to (temporarily) counter the Ultra Gosei Great Megazord's Ultra Mega Strike.
- Energy Cutters: Creepox can also launch dark orange and black energy cutters from his scythes.
- Energy Slashes: Creepox can charge up his scythes with red or black energy and then release energy slashes of either color across the screen. One energy slash knocked down Gia and Jake.
- Shockwaves: Creepox can release small, but strong fiery shockwaves from his scythe arms whenever they come into contact with other people.
- Fireballs: Creepox can also launch fireballs from his scythes as well.
- Lightning Ball: Creepox is able to charge up his scythes with purple colored lightning and fire a lightning ball of the same color from it.
- Meteor Shots: Creepox's signature attack where he draws his scythe arms in a circle around each other to generate a fireball that he would fling forth. Just one of these was powerful enough to knock down and critically injure Jake and Gia and a barrage of these broke through Noah's water shield in under a minute. All the Rangers de-morphed due to this shot (besides Emma, who did not fight Creepox herself).

Notes[]
- Creepox's death is reversed from how it was in Goseiger since he survived the equivalent of the Ultra Mega Strike only to be killed by Troy's counterpart.
- The reason this was changed was probably for the sake of making his death less melodramatic since he would have survived the most powerful finisher only for a single slash to finish him off.
- Creepox's counterpart was defeated by the Gosei Buster/Megaforce Blaster as opposed to an energy slash from the Dragon Sword like him.
- Unlike him, he was merely knocked down before recovering and telling Brajira/Vrak to enlarge him whereas Vrak did it himself in Megaforce.
- Creepox's Sentai counterpart was the final member of his group to be destroyed after the death of his leader while in Megaforce, Creepox was the first member to be destroyed and died before Malkor.
