GaoElephant can perform a Hundred Beast Armament, turning himself into the Elephant Sword (エレファントソード) and the Elephant Shield (エレファントシールド) for GaoKing to use as GaoKing Sword & Shield (ガオキングソード＆シールド), using the finish attack being Powerful Bisection: Evil Crusher (豪力両断イビルクラッシャー).

GaoGiraffe
See also: Giraffe Wildzord

GaoGiraffe (ガオジュラフ): GaoBlue's additional Power Animal. He was originally in the form of a crane and sent dreams to Kai where GaoKing was no match for Boat Org and that they needed the “spotted spear” to win. When the dream began to come true, Tetomu realized that a Power Animal was calling to him. When GaoBlue called out to the Power Animal, the crane he used earlier during their fight against Boat Org revealed its true form as GaoGiraffe.

GaoGiraffe can transform into the Giraffe Spear (ジュラフスピアー), a right arm with its head is covered by a pointed helmet, adding the word Spear (スピアー) when used with the GaoKing, GaoHunter, or GaoMuscle formations.

Its finishing move is Demon Penetration: Neck Thrust (悪鬼貫徹ネックスラスト), where his head is fired from his neck, and the enemy is pierced by its helmet. When combined with GaoHunter when he was evil, His attack was Spirit Penetration: Neck Thrust (精霊貫徹ネックスラスト).

GaoGiraffe made a cameo in Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger.

GaoBear and GaoPolar
See also: Black Bear Wildzord, Polar Bear Wildzord

GaoBear & GaoPolar (ガオベアー＆ガオポーラー): GaoYellow's additional Power Animals (he carries the jewels but gives them to Blue and White when used) who originally appeared as mysterious boys in black and white respectively. After GaoYellow retrieved flowers for GaoBear and GaoPolar, they gave him two seeds that turned into their Gao Jewels. GaoBear breaths fire and transforms into a left arm while GaoPolar breathes ice and transforms into a right arm. Together, they can perform a team attack called Whirling Frenzy (巴大車輪), where they join together into a wheel that slams into the enemy.

When added to any combination other than GaoMuscle, they form a variation known as Double Knuckle (ダブルナックル) which then destroys the enemy with the Ice Fang Blaze: Bear Strike (氷牙炎滅ベアーストライク), where twing blasts of heat and cold are fired from the mouths of GaoBear and GaoPolar. If only one is used the variation is known as Knuckle (ナックル), as seen in episode 38 when GaoBear was added to GaoKing. While under Duke Org Loki's control, GaoHunter Double Knuckle used his own variation called Spirit Blaze: Bear Strike (精霊炎滅ベアーストライク).

When GaoBear and GaoPolar's finisher was first used, it had such a great recoil and power drain that GaoLion became sick, making him incapable to fight until he was healed by the Soul Bird.

GaoGorilla
See also: Gorilla Wildzord

GaoGorilla (ガオゴリラ): One of GaoRed's additional Power Animals. Becomes GaoMuscle’s upper torso and head. During the Gaorangers' journey to find the shining mushroom, GaoGorilla pulls them back in time to a period where a forest was still untouched by construction.

He was awakened by a woman that the Gaorangers befriend and traveled back to the present time with the Gaorangers whereupon be became the substitute for GaoLion until the latter healed from the strain of the Double Knuckle formation. In addition to is fists and immense strength, GaoGorilla attacks with Banana Bomb (バナナボム) where he summons a cluster of giant banana trees which he uses as a platform from which he throws explosive bananas at the enemy. Most importantly, as part of GaoMuscle GaoGorilla can safely utilize GaoBear and GaoPolar's Bear Strike without suffering the physical trauma that afflicted GaoLion.

Soul Bird
See also: Soul Bird

Referred to as the "GaoHeart", the Soul Bird (ソウルバード) is special creature that can increase the power of the Gaorangers' Power Animal combinations, excluding GaoHunter.

Originally, Tetomu performed a ritual to turn the Kage Mushroom into the Gao Egg (ガオの卵) that then hatched into a small blue bird that Kakeru Shishi named Pyochan (ピヨちゃん). During the battle against Highness Duke Org Shuten, Piyochan matured into the Soul Bird to heal the Power Animals and help the Gaorangers defeat Shuten. Since then the Soul Bird has been used as the cockpit in the formations, at the command "Soul Drive, GaoKing!" or "GaoMuscle!". When used with GaoKing, Animal Heart is upgraded to Super Animal Heart, where the blast attack is not only shot from the Power Animal's mouths, but from a cannon inside the Soul Bird as well.

In Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai, the Super Animal Heart was enhanced by the power from the giant robots of the previous Sentai teams during the battle against Lost Highness Rakushaasa.

When the Vase Org had transported GaoKing and GaoHunter into another dimension, a feather from Pyo escaped and became Yo, an evil, red-eyed version of Pyo, while in place of the trapped Pyo, a pure good Pi was left. Eventually, Tetomu convinced Yo to help the Gaorangers and become the Soul Bird and GaoMuscle Striker was formed for the first time. After the Vase Org was defeated, the two Soul Birds became one again.

GaoHammerhead
See also: Hammerhead Shark Wildzord

GaoHammerhead (ガオハンマーヘッド): One of GaoSilver's additional Power Animals. Acts as a right arm part.

GaoLigator
See also: Alligator Wildzord

GaoLigator (ガオリゲーター): One of GaoSilver's additional Power Animals. He becomes GaoHunter’s main body and feet. His tail combines with GaoHammerhead's dorsal fin to become the Ligator Blade weapon for GaoHunter.

See also: Rhino Wildzord, Armadillo Wildzord

GaoRhinos (ガオライノス): One of GaoBlack's additional Power Animals. Becomes the lower torso and feet for GaoIcarus. He arrived after GaoMadillo gave their two Gao Jewels to GaoBlack. The two often replace GaoBison and GaoEagle as legs for GaoKing and GaoMuscle, adding the word Striker (ストライカー).

GaoRhinos’ formation special moves are Rhino Shoot (ライノシュート), Rhinos Kick (ライノスキック) and Striker Bomber (ストライカーボンバー), where GaoMuscle Striker rapidly spins and delivers punches to the enemy.

With GaoKing Striker, his finishing move is Strong Flash: Rhino Shoot (強一閃ライノシュート), where GaoMadillo crawls out of GaoRhinos and curls up into a ball that is kicked at the opponent like a soccer ball, whereas with GaoMuscle Striker, his finishing move is Strong Kick Blast: Rhino Shoot (強蹴爆砕ライノシュート).

GaoMadillo (ガオマジロ): One of GaoBlack's additional Power Animals, chanting "Madi" (マジ). He, along with GaoRhinos, was summoned by GaoBison to help against Duke Org Loki after GaoBison was badly injured by Lawnmower Org. GaoMadillo originally appeared in a miniaturized form in the guise of soccer ball when it gave their jewels to GaoBlack.

When used in combination with GaoRhinos, GaoMadillo goes into GaoRhinos' right foot. GaoMadillo was once used by GaoKing Another Arm as a bowling ball for the Super-Fast Rotation Tornado GaoMadillo Spin (超速回転トルネードガオマジロスピン) technique in order to counter Bowling Org's bowling ball.

GaoYellow usually borrows GaoMadillo's jewel when the Gaorangers form GaoMuscle Striker or GaoIcarus.

GaoKong
GaoKong (ガオコング): A red ape power animal similar in design to GaoGorilla that is the guardian of the island the Gaorangers were whisked to in the movie. Its Gao Jewel was formed when the two pieces of the ruby were joined on an alter during three simultaneous eclipses which allowed it to awaken from deep within the island's volcano. GaoKong attacks by triggering volcanic eruptions which ignite nearby trees on fire which he can then wield as either clubs or boomerangs. It forms GaoKnight's head and torso.

In the past, Shirogane and Murasaki used to play music for him. But after Murasaki's throat was injured by some Orgettes, it became angry at Shirogane for failing to protect Murasaki and left. With some help from Tetomu, GaoSilver was able to play for GaoDeers once again and him gave Tetomu its Gao Jewel. Afterwards, Tetomu gave his jewel to GaoWhite.

When used with GaoKing or GaoMuscle, it adds the word Cross Horn (クロスホーン) to that formation’s name.
