"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Look what happened to the other Zyurangers! Now it's your turn."

―Dora Raiger to Dan having turned the Zyurangers into blue liquid and her final words before her death.^[src]

Dora Reiger (ドーラレイガー, Dōra Reigā, 33):

History[]

A water fairy-themed Dora Monster who possesses a blue-jewel of great power on her crown, using it to send children to her dimensional realm where she turns them into a blue liquid. This liquid is then to be used to create a massive storm that will wipe out Tokyo in a flood that lasts two and a half years. Both this jewel and a red-one are sister fairy-princesses whom Bandora turns into gems. Dora Reiger is first seen kidnapping a small boy from his house and using her hair to drag him into a pool before kidnapping a small girl named Yuko the next morning. Although this brings her into conflict with Dan and by extension the Zyurangers once they discover her, she kidnaps them to her dimension. Although Dan saves his friend Saori with his Trice-Lance by cutting Dora Raiger's braids, she proves unstoppable using her elemental magic. Despite this, Dan and Saori are able to escape the dimension by combining Dino Medals with the other Zyurangers and discover Dora Raiger's weakness. The way to defeat the Dora Monster is to touch the two gems together since it will defeat the curse and neutralize her powers. Although Dan takes a beating from Dora Raiger, Saori is able to sneak up on her and slam her jewel into the blue-jewel and break the curse. Doing so destroys her internal dimension, turns the blue liquid back into children and frees the Zyurangers. Powerless, Dora Reiger is quickly beaten down by the Zyurangers' bare hands and is destroyed by the Ranger Slingers. Unlike most Dora Monsters, Dora Raiger is not enlarged by Bandora due to being completely powerless.
