(
Zoids)
Zoids are battle suits, half mechanic and half animal. It takes the form of a giant robot (surprise, surprise) and battle, using lasers, ammunition, and just plain biting and scratching. People pilots can control their zoid using the Command System, but that doesn't necissarily mean
the zoid would prefer to. Some rare
zoids have a "Black Box" or, in reference to the Anime series Zoids Guardian Force or Zoids Chaos Century, an Organoid.
Organoids are used to boost power.
Zoids are currently common in four animes: (In time order) Zoids Chaotic Century, Zoids Guardian Force, Zoids Century Zero, then Zoids Fuziors. They appear as games, and a short manga.
