King Mondo is a fictional character from the American television series Power Rangers Zeo. He serves as the principal antagonist of the series. King Mondo's costume and various pieces of footage were borrowed from the Japanese Super Sentai series Chōriki Sentai Ohranger. In that series, Mondo's name was Bacchushund (バッカスフンド Bakkasufundo?), and he served the same role. He is voiced by David Stenstrom and portrayed in costume by an uncredited actor. In scenes where footage of Bacchus-Wrath is used, Bacchus-Wrath's actor Yasuhiro Takeuchi takes the role in the suit.
Mondo is cast as an alien tyrant, the ruler of an extragalactic Machine Empire. His empire is called Baranoia (バラノイア Baranoia?) in Ohranger and simply "Machine Empire" in Zeo. Though in Ohranger he is unconnected to any previous series, in Zeo he ascends to the position of main villain by ousting the previous series' antagonists, Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd. He is incapacitated in episode 34 of Zeo, but while he gets repairs between episodes 35 and 47 he is replaced by various usurpers. As with many villains from the first five seasons of Power Rangers, Mondo returns as a supporting villain in Power Rangers in Space, this time as a henchman to main antagonist Dark Specter.
