- Zoid: Death Saurer

Basic Overview

Pilot(s): Name
Allegiance: Imperial Army

The Death Saurer is a terrifying monstrosity first seen in Ancient Zoidian times. It is assumed to be almost solely responsible for the downfall of their civilization and is still burned into the minds of many Ancient Zoidians, even those who have forgotten the rest of their past.

- Notable Facts

In the present day myths of this Zoid are still strong. From what's remembered of it, it was said to be a legendary Zoid capable of destroying a platoon of over 1000 Zoids, as well as an entire nation over night.

The Death Saurer's growth was fueled by dozens, if not hundreds of Zoid Cores from Zoids destroyed by Raven's Geno Saurer.

While the Death Saurer actually does have a cockpit located in the head (and even a second in the belly), in this anime series no Death Saurer is actually piloted in the traditional sense. Prozen merely stands on its shoulder, and Hiltz becomes a part of its core to control it. Instead, the face frame, beneath the armor, which would normally be visible when the canopy is lifted forward is used to represent battle damage.

Equipment Information

- Large-Bore Charged Particle Beam Cannon

- Nose Guns

In the show, the AEZ 20mm Beam Gun and High-Precision Laser Searcher are treated as a turret of guns that all fire in an alternating pattern.

- Charged Particle Intake Fan

The particle intake fan is what allows the Death Saurer to actually fire the Large-Bore Particle Beam Gun. It draws in static electricity from the air and amplifies it by converting it into pure energy, which can then be discharged from the jaws in the form of a beam. If it's constantly running the particle beam can be fired several times without pause.

- Missile Launcher

The missile launchers line the entire tail and the lower back. They're the same as the Ultimate Death Saurer, more or less (read below for that info.)

- Small-Bore Anti-Surface Laser Machine Gun x2

Refers to the two gun barrels in the belly of the Death Saurer. They rotate up and down, sweeping ground opponents to keep them away from the Death Saurer. In the show they were depicted as being strong enough to decapitate a Gojulas.

- Weighted Strike Tail

The Weighted Strike Tail is an incredibly powerful melee weapon. Aside from its ... well, pure weight and force, the tail has been shown to be capable of an energy charge, which can be slung into an enemy separate from the tail.

Equipment Information

- Killer Bite Fangs

Death Saurer has perhaps the most vicious looking teeth of any Zoid. They're massive needle-shaped weapons that line the entirety of the jaw. A single bite would impale a Zoid several times over.

- Hyper Killer Claws x2

Refers to the entire hand. The sharp claws of the Death Saurer are high articulate, and act just like human hands. They can easily crush even medium to large scale Zoids, and withstood a point-blank particle beam from the Geno Breaker without sustaining any damage.

- Missile Launcher

The upper armor panels of the tail and lower back can flip open and fire a special spear-based ammunition, similar to that seen in the Missile Diffusion System. The ammunition itself is different, though, which distinguishes this as its own weapon. Each segment of the tail can fire a different amount of ammunition. The largest segment is capable of loading 20 missiles for launch at one time. The second segment can load 16, the third segment can load 12, the fourth segment can load 8, and the final 5th segment can load four.

- Charged Particle Converter

The Charged Particle Converter of the Ultimate Death Saurer replaced what used to be its only weakness: The Charged Particle Intake Fan, adding more armor into the equation.

- Large-Bore Particle Beam Cannon

After drawing in energy through the Particle Converter on its back, the Ultimate Death Saurer can fire a particle beam larger than most conventional Zoids. What makes it especially terrifying, however, is that when combined with a gravity field such as the one created by the Ultra Saurus' compressed gravity cannon shell, it learned it could split the trajectory of these beams to all over the world, destroying several locations at once. When charging the particle cannon its teeth glow.
