8.0 Monsters
The centerpiece of all the action in an episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is, of course, the monster that either Finster creates for Rita or Lord Zedd makes himself out of an idle object upon the Earth's surface. In any case, it is a known fact that usually the monster can barely be handled by all five or six Power Rangers prior to the introduction of the ThunderZords. Soon after the usage of the ThunderSavor became old hat, the whole purpose in morphing was to fight an endless mob of Putties.
Regardless, here is our list of monsters as see in Power Rangers.

Mr. Ticklesneezer
From "For Whom the Bell Trolls," Mr. Ticklesneezer was Trini's prized doll who was kidnaped and grown to life size. Fundamentally, he has a kind soul and was brainwashed into doing Rita's evil by using his collection bottle to suck up everything, including the Power Rangers.

In Dairanger (where Serpentera comes from), its name is Daijinryuu.
SilverHorns

ScatterBrain
As featured in "When is a Ranger Not a Ranger?" ScatterBrain monster was sent down to cause everyone to lose their memories.

Jaws of Destruction
With his intentions on carving his initials in the ThunderZord, this monster was seen in "Forever Friends".

SculptHead
Created out of Tommy's arts & crafts project, Lord Zedd made SculptHead to take on the Rangers after his main plot failed him in "Blue Ranger Gone Bad."
With the second season came ThunderZord and TigerZord footage. Because of the fact "Power Rangers" ran out of "ZyuRanger" footage, monsters from the "DaiRanger" are more commonly used. Now, all stunts done in the "ZyuRanger" power costumes are U.S. produced. That explains why there's never eye-to-eye combat between the rangers or the monsters. Secondly, some "ZyuRanger" monsters were used in the beginning of the second season. No eye-to-eye contact fighting was done between the ThunderZords nor monsters because most monsters used in the second season still came from "ZyuRanger."

8.3 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie Monsters
Before Rita became the one to lock Zordon away in his interdimensional time warp, he fought Ivan Ooze. A very powerful creature that was locked away and buried beneath the surface of the earth for 6,000 years until he was resurrected. For further plot information, see section 10.2.
Once released, he began his plan to put Angel Grove's parents to work as his slaves to unearth his Ectomorphicons--gigantic silver robot monsters.
These Ectomorphicons were Hornitor and Scorpitron. When the fight got desperate, Ooze melded himself in with Scorpitron to fight the Ninja Mega FalconZord in space.

8.4 Third Season Monsters

Rito Revolto
Rito, Rita's younger brother, came to the moon to help Zedd and Rita conquer the Rangers and successfully dismembered the ThunderZords. He remains a constant bad-guy like Goldar.
Repellitor
Finster's first monster in quite some time is sent down to conquer Earth while the other Rangers, sans Kimberly, is fighting to protect a planet called Edenoi. An ill Kimberly must combat Repellitor.
Vampirous
The hideous creation of Rito's was sent to the Temple of Ninja to destroy it thereby ceasing the Ranger's new found powers but was stopped by not only Ninjor but the Mega Ninja FalconZord. As seen in "Ninja Quest".
? [From "A Brush with Destiny"]
This monster was released from a painting Zedd and Rita stole. The idea to create it came from a dream Kimberly had starring the monster from this episode. Its powers allow him to rob things of color, causing their loss of power. Kimberly had to rescue the Rangers as well as Ninjor from this monster originating from her nightmare about moving away to france.
Lanterra
Adam's paper lantern was turned into a monster because Lord Zedd and Rita thought it had special powers. However, when Adam learned the power was within himself, he was about to destroy Lantera which turned out to be the wrong one anyway. As seen in "Passing the Lantern."
Marvo the Meanie
Marvo, made out of Rocky's teacher (whom he switched places with at school), was restored to his normal human form after a fight with the Ninja Ape Zord.
Centiback
An unintentional mix of Finster's centipede and Zedd's football produced this monster who can turn anything into footballs.

Ninjor and Rocky were given special devices to reverse the effects of the special spiked football the monster used; as seen in "Fourth Down and Long."
Hate Master
This monster turns dirt and any other soil into hate dust which can cause any creature to become filled with hatred and bitter feelings. The rangers fall victim to it, leading Aisha to be the only uneffected ranger thanks to a love necklace given to her by her grandmother. Aisha had to destroy the spell with positive thoughts or the world would be destroyed (especially after Billy hatefully created a mechanism that could shut off all the power to the Command Center).
Miss Grief
Rito seemingly disobeys Rita and Zedd, who have taken a second honeymoon, and sends down a monster with a love potion (which got Rita and Zedd married). It makes everyone in Angel Grove fall in love with whoever they set eyes on (conveniently always of the opposite gender), as seen in "The Potion Notion."
Crabby Cabbie
Upon the theft of Kimberly's car, Kim tags along when Bulk and Skull take a taxicab trying to catch the criminal. However, Rita and Zedd decide to turn the car into the Crabbie Cabbie, a maniacal driver whose intent was to scramble molecules to cause Bulk, Skull and Kimberly to be mixed together. From "Follow that Cab!"
Garbage Mouth
This disgusting looking Trashcan monster is seen in "A Different Shade of Pink".
Raventor
Not yet seen, this monster is sunk into Tommy's stomach and causes him to have an unhealthy craving for too much junk food from "Rita's Pita."

Wall Monster
As seen in "Another Brick in the Wall," this monstrosity of a brick wall attacks by turning people into bricks and feeds on building supplies. Kat finds away to break down the Wall Monster's structural integrity.
Sinister Simian
Kat's pet chimpanzee, which she has been teaching sign language, is abducted and turned into a monster chimp--the White Shogun Zord uses sign language to calm the mutant.
Globbor
Master Vile, Rita's father, creates this monster capable of draining the energy of its foe and taking on its special powers. (As seen in "Master Vile and The Metallic Armor".
