The Shellkarn (シェルカーン Sherukān), also spelled as Shell Karn, is a Chimera-type Zoid from the fictional Zoids universe. One of over 200 species of biomechanical life forms that provide the basis for TOMY’s model kit, anime, and comic-based Zoids franchise.
Overview[]
Shellkarn is an unmanned Chimera Blox that has the features of a tortoise and a gorilla. It is one of the components of the Chimera Dragon, and combines with Flyscissors, Diploguns, and Demonshead to form it.
It can also combine with Diploguns, Demonshead, Nightwise, Unenlagia, and Leoblaze to form Gojulox.
Media Appearance[]
Zoids Fuzors[]
The Shellkarn is seen in episode 18 of Zoids Fuzors, where it fused to form the Chimera Dragon. The Zoid was remotely controlled by the Chimera AI. The Zoid does appear briefly as a separate entity when the Chimera Dragon attacks by de-fusing mid battle, but its role is mostly relegated to being a component of the Chimera Dragon.
Manga[]
The Shellkarn's sole appearance in any manga was in Zoids: Galaxy Quest Planet Zi were it was the main antagonist along with Flyscissors, who fought off against Maya and her Liger Zero X and Kugo and his Konig Wolf. After Flyscissors and Shellkarn destroyed both Maya and Kugo's zoids, they later faced off again, but against Maya with a Unenlagia and Kugo with a Leoblaze.
Video games[]
Shellkarn appear in Zoids Saga DS: Legend of Arcadia.
