Allies

Magiel even admitted she frowned on both Blagel's choice to sacrifice himself and Miyuki's intent to learn magic. But after seeing the same courage their parents showed, Magiel allowed them Unigolon's aid and made a later exception on the distribution of the Legendary Magicians' power to the Ozu siblings. When N Ma attacks Magitopia, after failing to stop him, Magiel teleports Lunagel to the human world while seemingly killed by the demon's rampage.

Hades Beastman Elite Four (冥獣人四底王, Meijūjin Shiteiō)

The most evil and powerful of the Hades Beastmen who overpowered Blagel before they were sealed away, summoned by Meemy in an attempt to placate N Ma. The first to attack the Magirangers is Hades Beastman Samurai Shichijuro (冥獣人サムライ シチジューロー, Meijūjin Samurai Shichijūrō), a living sword that possess the holder and can severe the bonds between people, followed by group's female member Hades Beastman Siren Neries (冥獣人セイレーン ネリエス, Meijūjin Seirēn Neriesu), who uses the ghost of Rei to gather souls to defeat her throat which Blagel injured years ago. The group's hockey-themed leader Hades Beastman Yeti Zee (冥獣人イエティ ズィー, Meijūjin Ieti Zī), who injured Blagel enough to be turned into Wolzard, enlists the aid of the 300-year-old Hades Beastman Kobold Bullrates (冥獣人コボルト ブルラテス, Meijūjin Koboruto Bururatesu) to freeze the world with his "Devil's Glacier" plan before being destroyed by the Legend MagiRangers. Bullrates end up the group's last member as he is tricked by Memmy into having his soul used to animate Hades Machine Golem (冥機ゴーレム, Meiki Gōremu) which Magi Legend destroys.

Agent X (エージェントX, Ējento Ekkusu)

The antagonist of Magiranger vs. Dekaranger, his real name is Hades Beastman Demon Abollos (冥獣人デーモン アボロス, Meijūjin Dēmon Aborosu) who leave Earth years ago and became an apprentice and successor to Agent Abrella with the Alienizer Babon as his partner in crime in a scheme to acquire the Flower of Heaven to destroy all love on the planet. But after being wounded by Legend Magi Red and the Deka Red Battlizer, Agent X is destroyed when the Magirangers and the Dekarangers hit him and Babon with their Fantastic Strike Out attack.

Grunts

Hades Corporal High Zobils (冥府伍長ハイゾビル, Meifu Gochō Hai Zobiru)

Higher-ranked Zobils who wield either large spear-like staffs or whips and leads the Zobils into battle as a field commander. They can also control some of the Hades Beasts. While they first appeared in Stage 1, they first fought the Rangers in Stage 3, where the one they fought against and was beaten by the Rangers was killed by Branken as punishment for incompetence. Branken was originally a High Zobil himself. Toad occasionally ate High Zobil from a bowl.

Hades Soldier Zobils (冥府兵ゾビル, Meifuhei Zobiru)

Zombie-like soldiers who wield axes and follow the High Zobil. There are thousands of them in the lair. Underneath their helmets are their repulsive rotting skulls with maggots. In the finale, they are shown with builder hats building the bridge that links the surface world to Infershia.

Hades Beasts (冥獣, Meijū)

The first wave of monsters to fight the Magirangers, send by Branken to kill humans in hopes that one of their victims is Lunagel, whose death would open the gate. The first three were naturally giant, but the rest were human-sized when first depicted. When these human-sized Hades Beasts are killed, Wolzard used a spell that resurrects the monsters and makes them grow. They emerged onto the surface through a dark magic circle.

Magical spells

The characters of Magiranger use magical spells to accomplish tasks. Each magical word correspond to a digit on a phone. For example, when the Magiranger wants to transform into their Magiranger forms, they use 106, which corresponds to "Maagi Magi Magiiro" and "Goolu Golu Goludiro".
