Peckster had a distinctive avian appearance, complete with wings and a powerful beak. His abilities included:
- Destructive Pecking: Finster claimed that Peckster could destroy any building with just a peck or two. Indeed, Peckster was seen destroying skyscrapers with ease, despite not being giant at the time.
- Leaping and Flying: Peckster could leap tall distances and fly, adding to his mobility and threat level.
- Windstorms: His wings could generate powerful windstorms, adding another layer of danger to his attacks.
- Red Darts: Peckster could shoot red darts from his throat, providing a ranged attack option.
Encounter and Battle
Peckster was unleashed to wreak havoc, using his powerful pecking ability to demolish buildings. Despite his destructive potential, his pecks had no serious effect on the Rangers themselves. During the battle, Peckster shot red darts from his throat, further challenging the Rangers.
Morphed Zack devised a plan inspired by Mikey’s inflated rubber ball. He had Peckster try to peck at five balloons, each representing a Ranger color, with the black one being a ball of rubber or similar material. Peckster got his beak stuck in the black ball, temporarily immobilizing him.
In the final confrontation, Peckster grew to a giant size. The Rangers summoned the Megazord to face the giant monster. Despite Peckster’s abilities and his attempts to use his wings to create windstorms, the Megazord Power Sword was used to destroy the giant Peckster, ending his threat.
Subsequent Encounters
Peckster was among the monsters Finster recreated to capture the Rangers, described as one of the meanest monsters.
Peckster was present during the monsters’ taunting of the Rangers in the Spectre Theater. Giant Peckster fought alongside giant Rhinoblaster against the Thunder Megazord and Tigerzord during Rita and Zedd’s wedding. Finster selected Rhinoblaster and Peckster to guard the Rangers in the theater during the wedding.
