Zakol

The Zakol are the cannon fodder troops of the Vegan Empire in Grendizer Giga. Compared to their original counterparts and their superiors, the Vegan soldiers have a vastly different appearance and role in the army.

Appearance and Abilities
Vegan Soldiers resemble humanoid insects from the cockroach order featuring humanoid top limbs and legs, and arthropod mid-arms. Their heads contain mammalian eyes but they possess mandibles and antennae on their heads. They are usually armed with weaponry including the laser guns that serve as the basic side arm. By devouring a subject, the Vegan Soldiers are able to shed their exoskeletons to form near perfect copies of the person allowing for infiltration missions.

Trivia
・The name Zakol is derived from the Japanese word Zako (ザコ) which means low-rank soldier.
