Background
Zoanoids are genetically-altered human beings who can assume the form of powerful, horrific monsters (what their monstrous forms look like is apparently dependant upon the individual).
The origins of the Zoanoids dates back to primordial times on Earth when the Creators came to the world in order to engineer a very specific lifeform; a bio-weapon. Their experimentations would create Humanity which would simply be the basis for other more complex bio-weapons one of which would be the Zoanoids. These creatures were mentally slaved to the telepathic abiliies of the Zoalords and the Creators themselves. The Creators would abandon the Zoanoids on Earth after Guyver 0 went out of control.
Zoanoids resemble Humans but after facing Optimization, they possess the ability to change into a secondary form which is far more monstrous in appearance. This second form can vary depending on which type of Zoanoid the person has been configured into. Numerous noted abilities include an increased strength and other biological adaptations from bio-lasers, to hardened armor to even acidic acid for blood.
Basic Zoanoids are far stronger when compared to a Human but are incapable of fighting a Guyver and are easily slain in combat. More advanced variants of Zoanoids are known as Hyper Zoanoids which are far stronger then a basic Zoanoid. Noted mutations though that deviat from mass produced Zoanoids are the Lost Numbers who are seen as scientific curiosities to study but nothing more.
Zoanoids, as already mentioned, are subject to the will of a Zoalord who can easily mentally command them into committing actions they would normally do to self destructing. Members of the public can be altered into this state without their knowledge creating an army of unquestionably loyal followers to do a Zoalords bidding.
Originally, the Zoanoids were created as warriors for the aliens who created mankind, but after the aliens left the Zoanoids went into hiding. They are ruled over by a single Zoanoid, called the Zoalord, and their sole aim is to take over the world using the Guyver. Although it is assumed that most Zoanoids are born Zoanoids, an ordinary human being can be turned into one by being put through a special process developed by the Chronos Corporation (and if the process is incomplete, the individual suffers an agonizing death upon their first, unbidden transformation).
Types
Hyperzoanoid
A Hyperzoanoid is the next stage of development of superior Zoanoid bio-weapons. These creatures are far superior to standard Zoanoids with abilities that allow them to rival that of a Guyver Unit. They also possess further abilities to enhance their performance.
