Super Sentai: Villainesses in Costumes and Monster Forms

UPDATED 7/1/11 7:30 PM EST
Since I covered males in non-rubber suits and last year I covered all villainesses, by request here are villainesses in non-rubber suits and other forms. I am not counting the cats from Flashman because you can see their human faces, I'm talking about covered rubber (latex or whatever) costumes, meaning most of the time they were done by stuntmen.

Bella and Beth (Goggle Five)
Faceless warriors for Deathmark in purple and blue tights who assume human forms.

Dr. Mazenda
Dr. Mazenda from Liveman (same actress as Gara from Dairanger) had a non-human form as well at the end of the series. I couldn't find a pic.

Princess Jarmin (Turboranger)
She had a snake form but couldnt find a pic.

Empress Juuza (Jetman)
She had a monster form at the end of Jetman.

Lami Scorpion (Zyuranger)
Lami's giant scorpion form, the actress admitted in an interview years later that this made her embarrassed (in a good way?) that she became a monster.

Gara (Dairanger)
She had a metal face form, does that count?

Empress Hysteria
Hysteria was the most devoted and loyal wife and mother. She helped her son Buldont get a new form. She risked her life for her grandson. She is the first Sentai villainess to not have a human face but to be in a costume completely.

Princess Multiwa
Niece of Hysteria and wife of Kaiser Buldont. She had a son by the end of Ohranger.

Keris
Field commander who rules Machine Beasts with whip and had a human disguise. Didn't appear in Zeo but part of her costume was used for another background monster.

Iriesu
She is an Egyptian-themed, spiteful, and ambitious sorceress.She arranged Budou's death, having grown too impatient to wait for her turn against the Gingaman and to revive Daitanikusu. Having succeeded, in becoming the new general, she intended to revive Daitanix through sorcery. She had a more powered-up form too.


Grandiene
In GoGoV, she was the queen mother of the demons, was the final villain and defeated. She is the third Sentai villainess to not have a human face but to be in a costume.



Armored TsueTsue/Onihime (Gaoranger)
When Ura was seemingly dead, Tsuetsue temporarily used his crown to become the Onihime and is possessed by him.


Rije/Rijewel
Little girl, really was Kasumi, Asuka and Mahoro's daughter, that was used as a conduit for the main boss. She later speed-grown into Rijewel, who tried to use her sexy feminine wilds for her crush over Mikoto. Rijewel became a costumed monster (DezumoRijewel) for one episode.

Vancuria
Vampire Queen, sole female of the bad guys in Magiranger. She flirted with Buranken and Wolzard. A man played her in costume. She is the 3rd villainess to switch back and forth to human face to costume and not become a fully-costumed monster at the end.

Sphinx (Magiranger)
After N. Ma's defeat, Sphinx became the new ruling leader of the new Infershia, ending the war between her kind and Magitopia peacefully, and she began rebuilding the Kedomono Realm.


Kazu no Shizuka
She was a ninja treasure hunter. She became a fully-costume super monster at one point for a short time.

Mele
She was the first villainess to have a mecha. She had an exclusive Girls in Uniform figure, only available to a few. She died with her love Rio. She is the fourth villainess to switch back and forth to human face to costume and not become a fully-costumed monster at the end.


Rageku from Gekiranger
Rageku is the Grand Mistress of the Confrontation Beast Jelly-Fist, whose fighting style focuses on pain and suffering. She can deflect their attacks and mastered to use her opponent's Ki against them. Much like Kata, Rageku uses her students and makes them suffer. She is more dedicated to jealously and betrayal. She also had a relationship with Master Shafu long ago.

Dayu
Complicated villainess from Shinkenger, was once human. She is the fourth Sentai villainess to not have a human face but to be completely in costume, eleven years since GoGoV's Grandinne (Vancuria and Mele had human forms). A man played her in costume, the same man who did Vancuria.

Metal Alice of Agent
In Goseiger, a villainess that came in late. She is part of the third group the Matrintis. She is the fifth Sentai villainess to not have a human face but to be in a costume. A man plays her in costume, same man who did BoukenPink.

Insarn
Development Technical Officer Insarn is Zangyack's green-skin mad scientist, supplying the Action Commanders with powerful weapons and modifications. Using a special energy gun, she can resurrect an Action Commander who were defeated and make them grow giant. The same man who did Vancuria and Dayu plays her.

Jarmin from Turboranger had a non human form as well (notably in her final episode)

Ah customes. Mele was played by man aswell, when in Beastman Form.

Funny thing is that while there are men who play females, it also works the other way around in some custome.

Here's what they remind me of based on how they look:

Rije- Kamen Rider Femme.
Kazu No Shizuka- Katara (from Avatar) or Talim (from Soul Caliber)
Insarn- Breez (from Hero Factory)
