History
Scumlaw in the Halloween Intergalactic Court.
Scumlaw was among Sledge's prisoners who arrived on Earth. On Halloween 2016, he was enlisted by Poisandra to get rid of the Rangers through the Halloween Intergalactic Court, via his deceitful ways and having Poisandra, Curio and several Vivix posing as the jury. It was here Scumlaw had the ghosts of many of the Rangers' fallen enemies summoned to tell how they were wrongly "destroyed" by the Power Rangers. Eventually, the Power Rangers earned ten strikes, but right before the Pumkin Judges could decide the punishment for the Rangers, James and Prince Phillip showed up disguised as Rot and Decay to reveal who the jury really was. Exposed for his manipulation of the court, Scumlaw was sentenced to be vaporized for cheating, while the Rangers were declared innocent. Realizing he was in hot water, Scumlaw fled the scene, where the Rangers destroyed him with a combined Dino Morpher Blast.

Etymology

Notes
- Scumlaw actually had the same Kyoryuger counterpart as Conductro although Conductro only used footage of his cloaked form while Scumlaw used his true form's costume.
- No Sentai footage of Scumlaw was used in Power Rangers Dino Charge because most of his footage involved trying to kill Joyful Knight Canderrilla (Poisandra's counterpart), which would make no sense given his loyalty to Sledge and him brutally killing Wrench's counterpart.
- Even Scumlaw's original Sentai death was changed. Whereas he was destroyed by the Dino Morpher Blast, in Kyoryuger, he was destroyed when Wrench's axe impaled him through the stomach. This was changed due to how brutally violent being stabbed through the gut looks.
- No Sentai footage of Scumlaw was used in Power Rangers Dino Charge because most of his footage involved trying to kill Joyful Knight Canderrilla (Poisandra's counterpart), which would make no sense given his loyalty to Sledge and him brutally killing Wrench's counterpart.
- Out of all the Outlaws in the Power Rangers Dino Charge series, Scumlaw was one of the weakest monsters, having little to no abilities (outside from hand-to-hand combat) and never becoming giant.
- Scumlaw is similar to Memorella, a monster who appeared in the Power Rangers Dino Charge Halloween special episode, "The Ghostest With the Mostest", as both monsters make an appearance on their seasons' Halloween special.
- Despite this however, they are opposite in many ways.
- Memorella is a female monster who is themed after a vampire and has many powers, can transform into a bat, uses a whip for combat, and has a battle with a Megazord.
- Scumlaw on the other hand is a male monster who is themed after a lawyer, doesn't have much in a way of powers, lacks any handheld weapon for combat, and doesn't fight a Megazord.
- Despite this however, they are opposite in many ways.
- Scumlaw is the fifth monster outlaw in the Power Rangers Dino Charge series to lack any projectile/range-type attacks, the first being Puzzler, the second being Nightmare, the third being Beauticruel, and the fourth being Spell Digger.
- Scumlaw is the third monster in the Power Rangers Dino Charge series to not get enlarged by the Magna Beam and engage in a Megazord battle. The first was G-BO and the second was Hunter.
