The King Liger is a type of Zoid, a race of mechanical lifeforms from the fictional Zoids universe.

OverviewEdit

Designed fairly early into the Republic's invasion of Nyx, the King Liger was built to be a fast multi-purpose Zoid that could handle the narrow confines of the Devil's Maze. While smaller than the Shield Liger, it was more mobile, and especially adept at jumping. Its strong point was melee; it and its rival the Zeekdober were among the first Zoids to use bladed weaponry. The electromagnetic shield generators in its shoulders and hips ensured it would reach that point. It wasn't entirely lacking in guns, either, sporting a pair of vulcans on its cheeks and a beam needle in its tail.

All this contributed to it being a Zoid of choice for commanding officers, and quite possibly its eventual upgrade into the heavily-armed King Baron.

Battle Story ApperancesEdit

Media AppearancesEdit

GamesEdit

King Liger sprite

The King Liger appears in Genobreaker Story, usually alongside either King Baron or (oddly) one of its rivals, like Ice Blazer. Some players have found them uncatchable in-game (possibly due to a bug), though they can be "caught" via the Zoid Point-spending system on the starting menu. Their electromagnetic shield is rather unique; like Mad Thunder and Gunbluster, they can learn a move that entirely negates charged particle attacks, making them useful against Death Saurer, Gungyarados, etc.

The King Liger also appeared in the NES game Zoids: Mokushiroku.

ModelsEdit

Grade Up ZoidsEdit

The King Liger is a part of the Grade Up Series.

The King Liger kit comes on six frames, along with a battery-powered motor, twelve rubber caps, a gold pilot, a sticker sheet and an instruction manual. The King Liger is molded in metal flake maroon, white, silver-grey, and gold chrome.

The King Liger uses a single of "AA" sized battery for motion. Once activated, the Zoid walks forwards with its jaws opening and closing.

Rebirth CenturyEdit

The King Liger was released as the twelfth model in the Zoids: Rebirth Century line under the designation number HRZ-012. It is almost identical to the original, except for the difference in the shade of gold chrome and maroon in the present kit as well as a new screw-locked battery cover. The canopy used is also from the King Baron design, having an extra peg not found in the original kit.
