Overview

An elephant-type Zoid developed by the Helic Republic at the beginning of the Central Continent War. It does not possess a trunk-equivalent part. Originally, due to its heavy armor which was robust by the standards of the time, it was used as a ground exploration machine【37】. It was also employed for reconnaissance【8】, but in the opening stages of the Central Continent War, the majority of units were destroyed【37】. After that, it was converted to a training machine【37】. By ZAC 2032–2038, it had already been retired from the frontlines【38】, and following the Planet Zi Great Catastrophe of ZAC 2056, in which many Zoids became extinct, it has not been sighted since【注 2】.
