Jungle Fury Ranger data part 5: The former Phantom Beast Generals


Jarrod
A student at Master Mao's temple and wielder of the Lion spirit; Jarrod was highly skilled and earned the chance to become one of the guardians of Dai Shi's prison. Unfortunately, Jarrod's arrogance and excessive violence forced Master Mao to dismiss Jarrod and select Casey instead. In response, Jarrod attacked Mao, and during the fight he accidentally freed the evil Dai Shi from his prison. Jarrod fled into the woods, but was taken over by Dai Shi, becoming the evil master's vessel. Jarrod blamed Casey for his expulsion from the Order of the Claw.

In battle, Jarrod assumed a lion-themed armored form called the Lion Warrior. He was given power by the Phantom Beast Generals, making him the Phantom Beast King with the spirit of the Griffin, and chose to give Camille the powers of a Phantom Beast General. All of his past good deeds were erased by Carnisoar in order to allow Dai Shi to reach a higher level of evil, but repeated attempts by the Pai Zhua Masters to reach him hints that Jarrod's spirit, while overpowered by Dai Shi, still existed deep inside. After breaking free of Dai Shi's control with the help of Casey and Camille, he returned to Pai Zhua to learn from the beginning.


Camille
Camille was once known as Dai Shi's loyal warrior. During Dai Shi's absence, Camille remained quietly inside a wall. She then rejoined Dai Shi's side to help him destroy the Power Rangers. She is a master over the Chameleon spirit, able to assume a fighting form. When Dai Shi became the Phantom Beast King, he ordered the Phantom Beasts to grant Camille the power of a Phantom Beast General. In her General form, she gains the Spirit of the Phoenix.

Some time later, Camille realized that she was the reason why Jarrod is holding onto his last bit of humanity despite Dai Shi's stronghold upon him. After Jarrod broke free of Dai Shi's control, she chose to betray her former master and protect Jarrod, at the cost of her Phoenix powers. Camille later saved the Rangers from certain death by Dai Shi to prove she had turned to the side of good, and enrolled into the Pai Zhua Academy with Jarrod.


Flit
A former enemy of Camille whom she cursed, turning him into an anthropomorphic housefly. While not truly evil, he must remain on the villains' side and reside in Camille's stomach, or else he will die. He occasionally escapes from Camille's stomach to commentate on Zord battles. Regardless of who has the upper hand, Flit maintains a neutral standpoint and unbiased commentary.

When R.J. saved his life at one time, Flit allied with the Rangers for a while and helped R.J. get control of his animal spirit, but had to return to Camille when the curse over him caused him to weaken after being away from her for too long. Flit helped the Rangers by catching the Crystal Eye containing Master Finn, after Unidoom tried to throw it into the ocean. In the last episode, he was turned back into a human by Camille once she turned good and went to work for RJ at the pizza parlor, still retaining some of his insect characteristics.
