She is a powerful warrior herself and occasionally fights with the Rangers. Because of her status as a vampire queen, she is not adversely affected by garlic or sunlight. According to Xenotome, she is indestructible, but she was wiped out by the power of Dawn Crystal. She managed to reassemble herself one and a half months after that night, claiming she was indeed indestructible. When Morticon landed in the hands of the Rangers, Necrolai was sent by Master to retrieve Imperious. For some reason, although his initially showed more power than Morticon or Koragg, she never seemed to worry about the wizard and questioned him more often.

Eventually, when Sculpin discovered that Leanbow prevented the Master from returning, Sculpin developed a plan to pull him out and let Necrolai implant one of Sculpin's scales on him. This allowed Terrors to follow him and retrieve the spirit of the Master. When choosing Itassis to punish Surface World, Necrolai asked her daughter to survive, but Sculpin decided that if Leelee chose to live with humans, she should die with them. When Iosians never sought conquest or destruction for her own sake but followed Master's orders, they were convinced that the Surface World would not be destroyed, and Necrolai would be commanded to lead the Terrors to her and reluctantly obey. She witnessed Itassis being killed by Sculpin and Black Lance.
At the end of the final episode, Itassis returned to fight with the owner, and Necrolai revealed that she had resurrected Itassis. She is also further demonstrated this ability by resurrecting Daggeron, Leanbow, and Jenji, who were previously knocked down. Her strength was exhausted, she regained her human form was called Nikki. She last lived in Briarwood, moved into the apartment with Leelee and dated Toby.

Trivia
- With Japanese children's programming guidelines much more lenient than those of the United States, Necrolai's Magiranger counterpart Vancuria was able to have a rather revealing costume with realistic breasts. Due to this, Disney never showed close-up, full body images of Necrolai sourced from Magiranger and instead zoomed in on her face and avoided showing her chest area as many times as possible. In scenes with Necrolai filmed specifically for Mystic Force, the revealing costume was replaced with a full bodysuit.
- Unlike Vancuria, Necrolai is unable to split into two separate forms.
- A monster with the head of Necrolai made a cameo in the Power Rangers Dino Charge episode "Wishing For A Hero" as one of the monster prisoners on Sledge's ship. The monster also appeared in "One More Energem" and "When Evil Stirs."
- Ironically, Necrolai's Sentai counterpart Phantom Spy Vancuria was also later seen imprisoned under unknown circumstances in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs. Uchuu Keiji Gavan: The Movie.
