List of Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger characters
Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger (動物戦隊ジュウオウジャー Dōbutsu Sentai Jūōjā) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama in the Super Sentai Series. The eponymous Zyuohgers, one human and four anthropomorphic animals known as "Zyumans", protect the Earth from the evil Deathgaliens who wish to use the planet as the venue for their Blood Game.
Zyuohgers
The core five Zyuohgers are composed of four Zyumans (ジューマン Jūman), humanoids with animal features from an alternate universe called Zyuland (ジューランド Jūrando), and one human who fight together to defend Earth from the Deathgaliens. Each Zyuohger carries a Zyuoh Changer (ジュウオウチェンジャー Jūō Chenjā), a cuboid-like device which they use to transform, control their mecha, disguise the Zyuman members of the team as normal humans and use as a cellphone, and a Zyuoh Buster (ジュウオウバスター Jūō Basutā), a sidearm that has both a Sword Mode (剣モード Ken Mōdo) for the finishing move Zyuoh Slash (ジュウオウスラッシュ Jūō Surasshu) and a Gun Mode (銃モード Jū Mōdo) for the finishing move Zyuoh Shoot (ジュウオウシュート Jūō Shūto). They also possess a special mode known as Wild Release (野生解放 Yasei Kaihō) that associates each of them with the animal they represent, manifesting certain features from said animal once this ability has been activated. The Zyuohgers later gain another human member that was originally captured and brainwashed to fight for the Deathgaliens, but joins their side after he breaks free from the villains' control with their help.
Yamato Kazakiri

Years later, Yamato discovers a massive structure known as the Link Cube (リンクキューブ Rinku Kyūbu) which serves as the gateway between Earth and Zyuland, and uses the Champion's Proof to travel to the other side, where he meets the other Zyuohgers for the first time. Once back on Earth, the Champion's Proofs in his and the other Zyuohgers' possession transform into the Zyuoh Changers to help them fend off the Deathgaliens' first attack, but with the Link Cube destroyed and the sixth Champion's Proof gone missing, the other Zyuohgers end up stranded on Earth and Yamato decides to shelter them. Yamato later discovers that his vision has increased to superhuman levels after he became a Zyuohger, allowing him to see far distances and dodge enemy attacks much faster. With the help of the gorilla Zyuman Larry, Yamato gains the ability to transform from Zyuoh Eagle into Zyuoh Gorilla (ジュウオウゴリラ Jūō Gorira). With help from the Gokaigers, the Zyuohgers gain the Whale Change Gun (ホエールチェンジガン Hoēru Chenji Gan) with which Yamato can use to transform into Zyuoh Whale (ジュウオウホエール Jūō Hoēru).

After Genis infuses his body with the souls of three Zyumans (a rhinoceros Zyuman, a wolf Zyuman, and a crocodile Zyuman) also held prisoner by him, Misao is transformed into a tricolored artificial Zyuohger called The World (ザワールド Za Wārudo) to serve as an Extra Player (エクストラプレイヤー Ekusutora Pureiyā) in the Blood Games to counter the core five Zyuohgers. However, Yamato and the others manage to break him free from Genis' mind control. Then with moral support from the three Zyumans inside his mind, Misao develops more self-confidence by letting go of his regret over everything the Deathgaliens subjugated him into doing, especially the deaths of the three Zyumans, although he is still prone to getting depressed easily when conflicted about the notion of criticism and failure, and joins the Zyuohgers while reveal his true name himself Zyuoh The World (ジュウオウザワールド Jūō Za Wārudo). Misao later discovers that his sense of touch has been enhanced due to the rhinoceros Zyuman power, allowing him to either detect danger through the tip of his fingers or feel the heartbeat of others just by holding their hands.
As the Champion of the World (世界の王者 Sekai no Ōja) Zyuoh The World, Misao uses the flashlight-like Zyuoh The Light (ジュウオウザライト Jūō Za Raito) to transform, control his mecha and access each of his Zyuman powers either separately or all at once. His sidearm is the Zyuoh The GunRod (ジュウオウザガンロッド Jūō Za Gan Roddo), which has three modes that are each compatible with one of Zyuoh The World's different colored forms.

He can also activate his own Wild Release mode known as Great Wild Release (野生大解放 Yasei Dai Kaihō) where he unleashes the power of the three animals he represents all at once: a pair of rhinoceros horn-like shoulder pads which allow him to ram into his enemies, a crocodile tail on his right arm for whipping, and a wolf claw on his left hand for slashing. While in this mode, Zyuoh The World is able to perform the finishing move World The Crash (ワールドザクラッシュ Wārudo Za Kurasshu).

Bud
A mysterious eagle Zyuman that the Zyuohgers labeled as the "Bird Man" (鳥男 Tori-otoko), Bud (バド Bado) was the one who gave Yamato his Champion's Proof. He harbors a contempt for his people's racism towards humans, he stole the sixth Champion's Proof after the Link Cube is destroyed to prevent all access to it while also using it to disguise himself as a human just like Sela, Leo, Tusk and Amu. Despite all of that, he somehow cares about Yamato and has saved his life on a few occasions, going to the heights of sharing with him some of his Zyuman power when they first met to help him at the expense of shortening his lifespan. He is also an acquaintance of Larry, who knows his true name. Eventually, Bud manages to convert his Champion's Proof into an enhanced version of the Zyuoh Changer called Zyuoh Changer Final (ジュウオウチェンジャーファイナル Jūō Chenjā Fainaru), which he can use to transform into an orange-colored version of Zyuoh Eagle called Zyuoh Bird (ジュウオウバード Jūō Bādo).
As the Champion of the Heavens (天空の王者 Tenkū no Ōja) Zyuoh Bird, Bud is equipped with his own version of the Eagriser which allows him to perform two finishing moves: Riser Spinning Slash and Glide Feather Slash (グライドフェザースラッシュ Guraido Fezā Surasshu). Also, like Zyuoh Eagle, his Wild Release mode grants him a pair of eagle wings on his arms which allow him to fly and strike enemies from above at high speed. Unlike Yamato, Bud can use this ability untransformed.

Quval attempted to kill the hunter when he learned of his hidden agenda, only to end up forming an alliance where he aids Bungray in his hunt for Cube Whale in return that the hunter helps him overthrow Ginis. But when the alliance falters, Quval chops off Bungray's right forearm and implants it in his own arm to gain Bangray's mind reading powers.

Other villains
Shiomaneking
Shiomaneking (シオマネキング Shiomanekingu) is a revived fiddler crab monster from Shocker who attracts the attention of Yamato, Sela and Leo upon mistaking him for a Deathgalien at first, and they join forces with Takeru Tenkūji (Kamen Rider Ghost) against him.

Bangray
Bangray (バングレイ Bangurei) is a Megabeast Hunter (巨獣ハンター Kyojū Hantā) who had traveled the universe hunting down giant animals for fun. He has a hunting ship known as the Yabangreat (ヤバングレイト号 Yabangureito-gō), and is armed with the anchor-shaped Bariblade (バリブレイド Baribureido) sword. Bangray makes his presence known during the Zyuohgers' fight with Cruiza, resulting with the hunter being scouted by Ginis to join the Deathgaliens. Although enjoying his time as a Deathgalien member, he soon leaves on his own accord, although Ginis seems to accept his wish out of amusement. Bangray has the ability to read the memories of others simply by touching their heads and then create constructs of any individuals (even the dead) from those memories. He has rivalries with both Yamato and Quval, the former for not being able to submit to his mind trick and the latter for knowing his secrets. Bangray's arrival on Earth is due to his search for his 100th prey, which is later revealed to be Cube Whale. Bangrays uses the memories he scanned from Quval to extort his services in catching his quarry in exchange for an alliance to overthrow Ginis. But after their efforts to defeat the Zyuohgers together failed, Quval chops off Bangray's right forearm in a treacherous act while leaving the hunter with a Continue Medal. After Bangray is mortally wounded by the Zyuohgers, having converted his Bariblade into an artificial limb, he eats the medal to enlarge himself before being destroyed by Wild Tousai Dodeka King.
Bangray is voiced by Nobutoshi Canna (神奈 延年 Kanna Nobutoshi).

Domidoru (ドミドル) is the owner of the Space Circus (宇宙サーカス団 Uchū Sākasu-dan) and the main antagonist of the film Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger the Movie: The Exciting Circus Panic!.

Before arriving to Earth, he steals a large number of Moeba Medals and Triangulars from the Sagittariark. He uses the Zyuman circus to gather the energy of the children's cries to create a powerful energy, and attempts to destroy Earth with its powerful energy. During the final battle, he combines with his starship to become his giant Perfect Form (完全態 Kanzentai), but is finally destroyed by Wild Tousai King armed with Cube Condor (as a sword).[3]
