Trackenslash was a Dullahan-themed Sporix Beast serving Void Queen in Power Rangers Dino Fury Season 2 and the twenty-third Sporix Beast to awaken in the Dino Fury series.

History[]
Past[]
Over 65 million years ago, Trackenslash and the other Sporix Beasts were created on Rafkon by military leaders hoping to use them as weapons against an approaching evil. As predicted by Aiyon, they eventually turned against their creators and desired to destroy all life in the universe. Though Zayto and his fellow Knights of Rafkon fought hard, the Sporix ravaged Rafkon and removed all traces of life from the planet. The Sporix then turned their attention to Earth but Zayto and the remaining Knights had managed to escape Rafkon and tracked the Sporix Beasts to Earth where they engaged them in battle with the help of the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Despite the Knights initially having the upper-hand against the Sporix, most of them grew enough in power over time to grow giant and force the Knights of Rafkon and their dinosaur allies to retreat. When all seemed lost however, the Morphin Masters arrived and bestowed the Morphin Grid's powers to Zayto and his followers, as the first Ancient Dino Fury Rangers which gave them the advantage they need to defeat the Sporix Beasts and seal them inside of their eggs.
Dino Fury[]
When the other Sporix are accidentally released in the modern day during Void Knight's invasion of Dinohenge, Trackenslash is amongst the Sporix Beasts that escape. 
TV STORY-Destination Dinohenge
Trackenslash's Sporix Cell is amongst those gathered by Occulo and is placed into the Sporix Machine although it still isn’t enough to revive Santaura. TV STORY-Missing Pieces
Trackenslash’s Sporix is later able to be used alongside the other captured Sporix to revive Santaura. TV STORY-Stitched Up
After Tarrick defects from the Void Family because of Santaura's bloodthirsty nature, Santaura (now known as Void Queen) uses her telekinesis to extract Trackenslash's Sporix Cell, which immediately hatches. After that, Trackenslash is ordered to use his incredible sense of smell to track down her husband, and after taking a whift at Void Knight's throne and hinting the scent is from his cologne, he is then ordered by Void Queen to find and destroy Void Knight in Pine Ridge. She also sends Mucus and Slyther to aid him.
Trackenslash is then seen in Pine Ridge with Slyther and Mucus to look for Void Knight, though right after Slyther suggests the monster would start sniffing out Void Knight, the Dino Fury Rangers appear before them. After the Rangers morphed, they all did battle with Trackenslash, Mucus and Slyther. The Green, Black, and Gold Dino Fury Rangers does battle with Trackenslash, though he was easily able to overpower them with ease even after the Gold Ranger used his battle armor. Trackenslash then does battle with the Red, Blue and Pink Rangers and was able to best them too, and after being called out by the Rangers, he then lets loose a bright light to stun them but Slyther and Mucus manage to stop him and teleport away before he could finish them off.
Trackenslash is later seen with Mucus and Slyther in the city, to which after Slyther notice a man in purple and believes him to be Void Knight. Trackenslash goes all out on him, but before he could do so, the real Void Knight shows up and gives the monster a kick, rescuing the man as he calls the Ranger Hotline. After the Dino Fury Rangers appear already morphed, Trackenslash summons an army of Hengemen to battle them. After defeating the Hengemen, the Dino Fury Rangers do battle with Trackenslash. Though he was able to overpower the Red and Green Ranger, the Pink Ranger was able to use the Hyper Key and deal powerful blows on him. The Black and Gold Dino Fury Rangers appear to aid the other Rangers, but even that was not enough. The Red Dino Fury Ranger enhances himself with the Smash Dino Key to battle Trackenslash, but it was not powerful enough to take out the beast's blades. Trackenslash then goes all out on the Dino Fury Rangers with his sheer strength, but Void Knight appears and does battle with him. He then used his Void Slash to destroy Trackenslash's blades. With the monster weakened, the Red Ranger uses the Smash Blast attack to defeat the Beast and retake his Sporix Egg. TV STORY-Serious Business
Trackenslash participates at the invasion of the Sporix during the final battle against the Rangers and the Rafkonians. He fights along with Occulo against the Rangers and the Rafkonians. He is defeated off-screen by the Rafkonians, his Sporix Egg was used by Void Queen to create the chimera-themed Sporix Beast, the Nemesis Beast and after the Rangers' victory, he is imprisoned forever by Master Red, Blue and Green in a crystal.
