Clawhammer is a giant shrimp monster Astronema threatened Elgar with and then chained the rangers up, intending for him to eat them. The rangers escaped and destroyed the monster with their Astro Megazord. Clawhammer appeared again, summoned to help Destructipede. Clawhammer was later part of the Machine Empire and General Havoc's forces which attacked the homeworld of the Phantom Ranger in the United Alliance of Evil's invasion of the universe. Clawhammer, along with the rest of the alliance, was destroyed by Zordon's Energy Wave
