HYPER-ZOANOIDS
All Zoanoids are the result of processing human beings to realize the intrinsic genetic potential installed in them by the Creators.
The simplest types of Zoanoid, such as the ubiquitous Ramotith, require very little labor; the test subject is suspended in the amnio-tank, the chemicals that stimulate the change are injected, and the process is routinely checked.
Other, more complex Zoanoids such as Vamore, require a more personal touch; every phase of development requires supervision. Yet, these Zoanoids are still simple enough to be mass-produced.
However, sometimes a Zoanoid is designed for such a specific purpose it cannot be mass-produced. Its processing time will be longer and the process itself will be checked from second to second instead of from hour to hour. The individual to be subjected to such an intense and complicated procedure will be carefully selected for health, physiology, biochemistry, genetic potential and psychology. He will have undergone strenuous physical and mental training, and will most likely already fill an important position within Chronos. In short, everything has to be perfect. And, needless to say, he resulting Zoanoid will be something special. These unique individuals are known as Hyper-Zoanoids.
Hyper-Zoanoids will always be unique. Although it is theoretically possible to re-create them, unlike with Lost Numbers, it would be impractical; and perhaps it is also considered tasteless.
Hyper-Zoanoids are typically much stronger than normal Zoanoids, even apart from their special abilities. And their power keeps increasing; Chronos started to produce Hyper-Zoanoids mere months before the Guyvers first appeared, but in that short time, much has been learned and many improvements have been made.
There are Hyper-Zoanoids with the ability to grow and launch organic, explosive missiles. Others can generate electricity, breathe fire or spray any kind of venom, acid or alkalic compound.
Hyper-Zoanoids typically act as commanders, like an intermediate between the Zoanoid troops and the Zoalords. There may be hundreds of them all over the world.
Some Hyper-Zoanoids:
The first of his breed. Three times stronger than Gregole, with eight times the laser firepower of Vamore, and covered in spiky, crusty armor that easily deflected both the Guyver´s punches and his headbeam. He could even squirt an acid potent enough to corrode a Guyver´s soft tissues.
After initial defeat, he received an upgrade; in his new form, the claws on his right arm could extend into three vibro-blades, his left arm housed a single, huge, perfectly aligned laser crystal with enormous output and his bulbous shoulders contained special generators that could create a protective force-shield. Unfortunately, these weapons proved a far greater power drain than his former complement had been and this became his downfall.
Sent to avenge Zerbebuth; he was stronger and faster than most Zoanoids and possessed a pair of whip-like, segmented tentacles that could cut through steel. His main weapons, however, were his chemical glands; he could secrete a variety of poisons, alcalic compounds and acids, and spray them through two shoulder-mounted nozzles. His deadliest attack consisted of him spraying a composite explosive, like Gaster.
His massive shoulders and huge forehead-horn comprised a sonic weapon that could devastate a city block. Formidable as he is, together with his almost identical partner Myumelzee, he was nearly powerful enough to defeat the Guyver. Between them, they could generate a standing field of harmonized vibrations, which neutralized any soundwaves - creating perfect silence inside an area the size of a football field. (However, they only got a chance to show off their power in the 2005 anime).
The following five individuals operated as a combat unit, the Hyper-Zoanoid Team Five.
His massive, bulbous shoulders contained special glands that produced explosive chemicals. To cause an explosion, both chemicals had to be combined; he had a nozzle on each of his wrists, through which he sprayed the component chemicals. Apart from this, his shoulder pods also each held nine biological explosive missiles; he could launch these one at a time or as a barrage. He could control the missiles´ trajectory even in flight.
The powerhouse. His massive body was a carefully-designed structure of almost solely muscle tissue, with a surprisingly light skeleton. He was enormously powerful, with very tough skin, capable of resisting very high temperatures. His body also internally produced incendiary oils, which ignited on contact with air; he could essentially breathe out burning napalm. He could also radiate intense heat directly through his skin.
A light, very fast and agile stormtrooper; his lithe body was covered in smooth, segmented armor. His arms ended in two-foot long vibration blades, similar to those of the Guyver. Their unique properties allowed him to cut through literally anything, except another vibration blade.
Very elongated and slender, like a humanoid eel. His body generated enormous electrical power, which he could expel as electric shocks of up to two million volts through four long, prehensile tentacles, sprouting from his back. When he fully charged himself, he would start to hover in the Earth´s electromagnetic field like an ionic aircraft.
The leader of the team, he was also the largest, enormously strong, and covered in unique armor plating that could shift between being pliant, and extremely hard. This property would allow him to deflect punches that should theoretically shatter his armour without being damaged. His weapons system was incredibly powerful: an array of thirteen organic laser lenses, set in each of his limbs and on his forehead. At full power, their beams would instantly melt concrete into lava. His ultimate weapon was a single laser unit in his abdomen, which he would first charge up by unfolding his wings and absorbing ambient energy, such as light and heat, from a wide area, and then discharge. He could only fire the weapon once, because it would burn out in the process, but the blast was as potent as a Guyver´s megasmasher. Zx-tole was eventually reprocessed into Neo-Zx-tole (see Other Zoaform Types
The following Hyper-Zoanoids all appeared after X-day.
He was the head of the Toronto research facility and its last line of defense. He appeared to be a larger, slightly more slender version of Derzerb; instead of padded skin, he had armor plating covered in massive spikes. These spikes or horns not only acted as blunt weapons, but also contained magnetized fluids; these reservoirs, connected by canals, comprised a powerful electro-magnetic weapon. When Zencrebe moved at high speed, he could generate a microwave ray intense enough to kill a human being.
These four Hypers got destroyed while protecting the Chronos-base Cloud-Gate from the Gigantic Guyver:
This crustacean-type´s upper body and arms were covered in a forest of two-foot-long, extendable, super-hard spikes with sonic blade properties.
He possessed a sonic weapon in a massive horn on his forehead and laser lenses on his shoulders, but like the other members of his team, he never got to use his weapons.
(However, in the 2005 anime, Myumelzee was partnered with Noskov.)
A massive, tortoise-like Zoanoid, the heaviest single Zoaform known. He could withdraw his body, massive though it was, into the enormous shell on his back and basically close up into a half-ton ball of superhard armor. By swift manipulation of the fluid distribution inside his body, he could roll around in this form by himself - an unstoppable, armored demolition ball.
Looked like a massive man-bull, his bulbous shoulders covered in thick, heavy points. These could actually explode, sort of like a double whammy ramming system.
A Bio-blaster type; presumably one of the commanders of the army of bio-blaster Zoanoids that defended Arizona Base against the Gigantic Dark.
These were a very special case. Less a team than a single being, These Hypers could actually physically merge in an instant, separating and re-merging in the blink of an eye. The purpose of combining the power of three Hyper-Zoanoids into one body was to imitate the Gigantic Guyver; they had been especially designed for that by the three rogue Zoalords. Apart from some details, like the heads of Beta and Gamma sticking out of the pseudo-Gigantus´ body, it was a quite convincing imitation. Power-wise, this composite being was absolutely no match for the warrior it emulated, but that was not the point of its existence. It only had to act as a decoy, to draw out the original; it fulfilled this function perfectly, to the point of being completely destroyed, so no incriminating evidence remained. Brancai, as a single being, was super-strong, could fire bio-laser beams capable of blowing up a house from its wrists, and could fly.
Another heavily armored Zoaform seemingly based on the succesful Derzerb type, he was not finished when he was destroyed by a Libertus.
He was covered by sharp spikes, possibly with sonic sword properties, and could bunch up into an armored ball, to roll into the enemy ranks and rip them apart like a living death wheel.
His body contained many armored generator blocks, sticking out of him like bracket fungi from a tree, which produced large amounts of electrical power that he could fire from his forehead horn like a beam of lightning.
A humanoid/insectoid/reptile type with a long whip-tail, a nose like a butter knife and the ability to move around soundless and literally invisible. He was absorbed by Aptom as part of a plan of the Zoalord traitors - a special implant inside his body turned Aptom into their puppet, "Chaos Aptom".
A short, stocky crustacean-type that indeed looked like a big-ass crayfish. His armor could resist the pressure at a depth of over ten kilometres; an ability that proved entirely useless when he was summarily absorbed by Chaos Aptom.
A vicious-looking collection of armor plates and long, sharp spikes, he also had a collection of bio-laser crystals on his chest. He, too was absorbed by Chaos Aptom.
Despite their immense power, special abilities, combat prowess and superior strategic skills, even Hyper-Zoanoids are as good as dead when facing a Guyver.

HYPER ZOANOIDS
Hyper Zoanoids... combat models designed beyond conventional standards of genetic engineering, intentionally tailored in every way. Even specialized weapons are often included in each genetic development. A hyperzoanoid can be either a combat type enhanced beyond conventional design limits, or a single combat design of unique superiority.
The screening process for hyperzoanoid candidates is second to none. Absolutely no genetic flaws are permitted in this classification, as the engineering process of hyper forms are extremely difficult, and any small flaw may result in drastic failure. To further enhance the performance, only those candidates with ace-level skill and ability are considered for engineering into this zoa type.
No element of a hyper zoanoid subject is left im-perfect.
