Selected Power Animals described in the art book

Pictures and text surrounding this table in the book depict and describe several of the unused Power Animals, four of which appeared in the final episode as cameos. "Young" Power Animals, such as Soulbird, do not appear on the list, but two others shown and described include KoWallaby (considered part of Power Animal #26 Gao Wallaby) and Mini Manta (considered part of Power Animal #29 Gao Manta). There are also two distinct versions of Power Animal #31 Gao Bat, a "good" version and "evil" version.: Though it made only a cameo, Gao Peacock is the most well described and depicted additional Power Animal. Gao Peacock attaches to Gao King's back to form . Gao Peakock's tail can shift from an at-rest tail-like position on Gao King Swordmaster to a position faned out behind its back from which weapons may be drawn. The centermost "feather" of the tail becomes a sword, the two "feathers" immediately next to it on either side combine into a double-headed sickle weapon, the next pair of "feathers" are a pair of smaller swords, and the final outer-most "feathers" become a three-section staff. Gao Shark or Gao Tiger appear to be necessary arms in the combination to hold the weapons normally. Gao Peacock's wings are half retracted behind the combinations shoulders, but are shown to be optionally able to extend fully.: This combination is essentially Gao King Striker Double-Knuckle Swordmaster with in its foot in place of Gao Madillo (which is standard for the Striker legs). Additional parts are shown attached to Gao Bear and Gao Polar to enable the use of the Swordmaster weapons from Gao Peacock, but it is not specified whether these are optional parts of Gao Peacock or parts of Gao Cobra. Gao Cobra separated from the combination is not shown.: From text, Gao Wallaby is apparently an adult female Wallaby with a pouch, and carries (the Japanese prefix ko- indicates a child version as in the term koneko for kitten), though a picture of the two separated from a combination is not shown. Gao Wallaby forms shoulder cannons and a left gauntlet on and KoWallaby forms a right gauntlet/cannon on the combination.: A completely new combination formed from Gao Peacock (back and part of torso), Gao Wallaby (forming both the torso and legs), KoWallaby (forming the head), (forming the left arm), and (forming the right arm). Neither Gao Tortoise nor Gao Toppy's arm forms are shown as having hands as detail shots are shown of the blade weapons on each, and no method for employing the Swordmaster weapons is shown or mentioned.: Both Gao Manta and are shown separated as well as in combinations. Gao Manta attaches to Gao King's back with its detached tail forming a new large sword held by the Gao Shark arm to form . MiniManta's placement, if any, on this combination is not visible nor mentioned in the text.: Gao Boar has a spinning joint located in its forehead and pulls a cart that is equipped with two large cannons and carries a pair of drill attachments. A drill can be attached to the joint in Gao Boar's forehead. Gao Boar becomes a left arm on Gao Muscle with a drill attached, and the cart becomes back-mounted shoulder cannons to form . Specifically, is depicted and named.: The "good" version of Gao Bat splits to form a right arm and wings on Gao Hunter, forming .: A completely new combination formed from Gao Manta (torso, and legs), MiniManta (chestplate), Gao Boar (left arm, with cart forming back, head, and shoulder cannons), and Gao Bat (right arm and wings).: An enemy combination formed from (torso, legs, and shoulder cannons), the "evil" version of Gao Bat (head and chest armor), (left arm), and Gao Hammerhead (right arm). As is visible from the image, and is mentioned in the text, Gao Dile and Gao Jaws would be recolors of Gao Ligator and Gao Shark, with the later slightly modified to be a left arm instead of right.: Gao Swallow forms a right arm with a spinning action that launches a boomerang weapon. It forms combinations such as .: Gao Mole attaches to the spinning mechanism of Gao Swallow's arm form to create combinations such as .: Gao Penguin attaches to the spinning mechanism of Gao Swallow's arm form to create combinations such as .: A small robot formed from Gao Swallow (torso, arms, and head), Gao Mole (right leg), and Gao Penguin (left leg). Gao Mercury is notably only about the size of a single arm from one of the other combined robos of Gaoranger.: A very large Power Animal. It is shown that the toy design would be motorized, and possessed and attachment that could expand into a large platform to be towed by Gao Mammoth. Gao Mammoth can also transform into a centaur-like mode, with the transformation being a motorized automatic feature of the toy design.
