Now that I covered the monsters not used from their Super Sentai source, B-Fighter monsters used in PR, and combination monsters, here are some American and New Zealand monsters exclusively made for Power Rangers. I am not covering all the humanoid ones to appear in InSpace, Lost Galaxy, and SPD. I am also not covering main villains (like Lord Zedd, Thrax and Mesogog) or the recurring footsoldiers, which I have already done before.
MMPR
Wizard of Deception
When they filmed "The Return of the Green Ranger" in Season 2 in Australia, we got this guy with a pumpkin mask and long black hair wig that made the Tommy clone. He was not defeated.

Rat Monsters
Ah, the infamous rat monsters. When I first saw these guys in "The Return of the Green Ranger" in Season 2, I thought they were the most lame monsters ever seen, so lame. I thought they got them off a costume rack. But little did I know, Saban was banking on them. Rumor is Haim Saban loved them.
A true fact was that the monsters were originally created for MMPR the Movie, evidenced by the photo above. I was glad someone did talk sense into Saban to get rid of them. But they were used in the show and that's just fine.

TURBO
Maligore/Dark Spectre
Made for the Turbo movie, he was used again for Dark Spectre in PRiS, I still can't tell the difference between them.

IN SPACE
This creature to fall unto Andros was a re-construction of one of the grunts (Maggots) from Masked Riders. The Maggots were original creations by Saban. Above photo from a scan of a Japanese book talking briefly about Power Rangers.
LOST GALAXY
These Skeleton warriors (there were four of them) were original creations. These were for one episode only. They were color coded (green, yellow, blue, and white).
TIME FORCE
These five warriors came in with Vypra, they were also American-made. These were for one episode only. They were color coded (red, green, yellow, blue, and pink).
DINO THUNDER
Mesogog is a main villain and an original creation but I also got to mention that his final monstrous form was also an original creation. For me, it was a pretty impressive creation.
SPD
Don't know this guys name and don't remember what episode he was in. He kinda looks inspired by that Darkness demon monster from Legend, except the horns are pointing inward. Above photo from a scan of a Japanese book talking briefly about Power Rangers.
This alien was captured by the B-Squad and A-Squad. For me, he looked like a token alien monster. Above photo from a scan of a Japanese book talking briefly about Power Rangers.
Omni
The revealed 'big boss' that had two forms, both original creations. The final Megazord fight scene with this thing was all new made by Disney. The only case of an original Megazord battle from the New Zealand crew. Above photo from a scan of a Japanese book talking briefly about Power Rangers.
