Nice pic of Gao Kong down there!

These emblems will take you to the heroes' pages.

"What?! Still MORE Power Animals?"

- Loki, Episode 23.

I'm very much inclined to agree with him. *groan* And where they aren't getting new animals, they're slightly modifying the toys so your collection won't be complete unless you buy the new edition. BUT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEEN THE GOOD GAO HUNTER AND THE BAD GAO HUNTER TOY!! ONLY THE BOXES ARE DIFFERENT!

To Combination Page

The series began with five Power Animals. Gao Tiger, who is 29 meters long and weighs in at 220 tons. Gao Shark, who is 32 meters and 790 tons. Gao Eagle, 30 meters and 420 tons. Gao Bison, 35 meters and 540 tons. Gao Lion, 35 meters and 1120 tons. Together these form the Gao King.

They added five more. In order of appearance: Gao Elephant, Giraffe, Bear, Polar (bear) and Gorilla. Gao King with Elephant is creatively called Gao King Sword & Shield. With Giraffe as right arm it's Gao King Spear. With the Bears as arms it's Gao King Double Knuckle. When you have the Gorilla, Bears, Eagle and Bison it's Gao Muscle (add words as appropriate).

The 'Good' Crew


Then they added the Soul Bird. Turns out he is, after all, a Power Animal who becomes the left arm except never in the episodes.

Then they added three more, initially under the power of the villains. Gao Wolf, Alligator and Hammerhead Shark who form Gao Hunter. Now that they're with the Gaoranger, they form the Gao Hunter Justice. If you tack the Hammerhead and Wolf onto Gao King as arms, he becomes Gao King Another Arma.

Recently they've gained the Armadillo and Rhino who make up new legs and Gao King and Muscle become Gao (fill in blank) Striker.

In the first movie first appeared the five-animal formation called Gao God which fires arrows and is made up of a black lion called Leon, Buffalo, Saw Shark, Jaguar and Condor.

Another formation called Gao Knight, using a red gorilla named Gao Kong, appeared ONLY in the movie. Actually, it does LOOK good.

PLUS incoming is the formation Gao Icarus, which involves two new Power Animals, a GORGEOUS falcon and a pretty nice-looking deer. At least, it is probably a deer. The name romanizes like Diasu. My travels on the Deer section of Colorado Deer and Elk site lead me to believe so. When you tack the deer onto Gao King instead of the Tiger, you get Gao King Cross Horn. Captain Eclipse is very good at finding out incoming PA names.

Now there's also the Gao Panda, and they're so cheap to just change the color of the darned toy. *grrrrrr* However, according to the little booklet: 1) hibernates in the cold bamboo forests of the highlands 2) can run 80 kilometers per hour on top of snow 3) is most probably in the hinterlands of the Sky Island 4) it favors claw attacks, good claws for the snow 5) is 30 meters long, 20 tall, weighs in at 800 tons 6) is probably one of Gao King's left shoulders and 7) blows from his mouth the deadly "Bomber Hurricane". Gao Panda will probably not appear in the show, it is only appearing on the CD which contains an audio Gaoranger story.

Final Power Animals. Mouse. Stingray. Horse. Peacock.
