Though a mystery, ZenAku was the spirit of Duke Org held within a mask. When Animus fell to Master Org, Merrick took it upon himself to defeat ther evil. Knowing that he did not have enough power to defeat Master Org alone, he obtained cursed wolf mask and used it to defeat Master Org. However he was soon corrupted by the mask's power and Zen-Aku took control of his body. At his request, Merrick's comrades sealed him into a stone-coffin in order to protect the world from Zen-Aku's power. Centuries later, he was released by Nayzor to destroy the Wild Force Rangers of the present day. As Zen-Aku, he battled them on several occasions until the Power Rangers learned the truth and helped free him from the curse, with help from the Rhino and Armadillo Wild Zords. Though Zen-Aku would later return, as his own curse of being sealed in the mask was canceled out as well. Zen-Aku attempted to kill Merick & asborb him to regain the power he had when they were binded under the curse, but Zen-Aku was seemingly destoryed by the Rangers. In the finale, it is revealed that Zen-Aku survived and Merrick has made his peace with the Org as they travel the world together. ZenAku was voiced by Lex Lang Note: "Zen-Aku" literally means "good-evil" in Japanese.
