Villains in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue - Vypra

Vypra is one of only two female demons, along with Queen Bansheera. She is the most human-looking demon, resembling a young, dark-haired woman wearing serpentine armor. She is skilled in dark magic. Initially, Vypra was considered a motherly figure to the young Impus, but she began to look down on him as an immature leader after he matured into Olympius.

Vypra personally led several attacks on the Rangers over the course of the series. In combat, she primarily used a thin saber that could unleash energy disks. She also piloted the Vyprari, a swift vehicle resembling a modified dune buggy. She almost never took hits, particurlarly because her armor does not fully cover her torso, but apparently she was vulnerable to damage, because in at least one episode, Carter was able to hold her up by threatening to shoot her.

After Olympius lost favor with his mother, he discovered that she was considering making Loki and Vypra second in command. He plotted to eliminate them by having Vilevine bury them alive. Loki and Vypra retaliated by bringing back Diabolico from the dead to deal with him. She was later killed by Queen Bansheera, who seemed to absorb Vypra into her being to use her energy to regain a bodily form.

In the episode "Time for Lightspeed" of Power Rangers Time Force, Vypra returns from the dead with an army of undead soldiers. She is seen digging herself out of a cemetery, but no explanation is given as to how she got there (originally her body was devoured by Bansheera, not buried) or how she managed to resurrect herself. She teams up with the mutant Ransik to obtain an artifact called the Solar Amulet. With its Dark Magic from the Shadow World and the sun being in perfect alignment with the stars, she used its power to revive the Super Demon Quarganon in Silver Hills. However, she was killed again by Wesley Collins (Red Time Force Ranger) with his Red Battle Warrior and Quarganon by Carter with his Trans-Armor Cycle. She was the only human-looking villain to be shown killed.

Vypra is played by Jennifer L. Yen (episodes 1; 4-37) and Wen Yann Shih (episodes 2-3).
