Stenchy was the skunk monster of the Machine Empire serving Queen Machina and by extension Louie Kaboom as well as a supporting antagonist in the Power Rangers franchise. He served as the titular main antagonist of the Power Rangers Zeo episode "Scent of a Weasel" and a minor antagonist in the two-part Power Rangers In Space series finale "Countdown to Destruction."
He was voiced by the late Brad Orchard who previously voiced the Tube Monster, the Ravenator and the Hydrp Hog in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Mace Face also in Zeo and later voiced the Horror Bulls and Hoothead in Power Rangers In Space.
Biography[]
Past[]
Stenchy was manufactured by the Machine Empire, working under King Mondo and Queen Machina. With their monsters and never-ending army of Cogs, the Machine Empire was able to devastate and conquer entire galaxies.
Zeo[]
In 1996, King Mondo leads his Machine Empire to the Moon where they drive out Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa but their invasion is ultimately stalled by the interference of the Zeo Rangers.
Stenchy is later rebuilt and seen in the audience at Prince Gasket's Machine Arena when Tommy forces Jason to fight Altor.
In Space[]
Two years later, Stenchy joins the Evil Space Aliens' army which attacks KO-35 and the Phantom Ranger's home-world. He is killed by Zordon's Energy Wave which turns him to dust.
Trivia[]
- Stenchy and "Scent of a Weasel" are notable because that episode was the beginning of a severe ratings decline that would almost be the end of the entire Power Rangers franchise. This was largely caused by competition from the American releases of the Pokemon Anime and Dragon Ball Z which had both been released earlier in 1996, because the American Tokusatsu genre was becoming over-saturated by other shows like Masked Rider and Big Bad Beetleborgs and because the core gimmick of Power Rangers was running thin after three years of the same basic formula.
- This downward trend would not conclude until near the end of Power Rangers In Space two years later which saved the show by introducing integrated and recurring story-lines. Ironically, Stenchy makes a cameo in the In Space finale.
