Makonoid

Makonoids are humans mutated by extreme levels of mako energy in the Final Fantasy VII series. Makonoids first appear in Final Fantasy VII. Though not called "makonoids", the unknown entities in Final Fantasy VII Remake also seem to be similar experiments as mutated humans.
==Story==
Makonoids are mutants held in containment units inside of the Nibel Reactor. Cloud Strife, Zack Fair, and Sephiroth encounter the containment units while investigating the mako reactor during what would later become known as the Nibelheim Incident. They discover Professor Hojo's experiments have transformed humans into makonoids. The machines the makonoids are inside of were originally designed to condense mako energy into materia, but Hojo modified them to instead expose a human to the condensed mako, mutating them. It is also implied that the makonoids being created via modified containment units was the cause of the Nibel Reactor's malfunction, via broken purification tanks. One makonoid bursts out of the machine, ultimately dying in agony.
Sephiroth begins to believe he was created by the same method as the makonoids, leaving him deeply unsettled. After coaxing from Genesis Rhapsodos in Crisis Core, Sephiroth vacates to the Shinra Manor, where he begins reading books in the basement's laboratory, triggering his insanity. Upon declaring he is going to see "Mother", Sephiroth destroys Nibelheim whilst heading for the reactor where Jenova is being held.
Makonoids are encountered in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- as part of the Genesis army. The Crisis Core Complete GuideCrisis Core Complete Guide translations at TheLifestream.net reveals they were created by the research of Genesis's group in the Banora Underground. Graffiti found in the holding cells tells who they were before they were transformed.
==Gameplay==
Makonoids appear in battle during the Hojo's Monsters mission in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. Another of Hojo's experiments, another makonoid, titled Experiment No. 121, is fought in the mission of the same name. In battle, makonoids are strong, fast and unpredictable.
The most common makonoid enemies are the results of Project G. They are fought in the Banora Underground at Lake Oblivion and in various missions.
