Zoan

**Zoan** is one of the three Devil Fruit types. This type of Devil Fruit allows a user to transform into an animal species at will, or an inter-species hybrid. Zoan types are especially effective in close combat.

## Overview

Zoan-type Devil Fruits grant the ability to transform into a certain animal species. Generally, they provide the user with three basic forms:

* **Human Form**: The user's natural form prior to consuming the fruit.
* **Human-Beast Form**: A hybrid form, combining the characteristics of both the users original species and the fruit-bestowed species into an unusual form (usually in a bizarre way where the size is greatly exaggerated).
* **Beast Form**: A form in which the user is fully transformed into the fruit-bestowed species.

A majority of the Zoan Devil Fruits come in different groups, known as "series", differentiated by specific species classification, known as "models". These groups are divided based on the different variations of animal; for example, the Transponder Snail Fruit falls into the Bug-Bug series. Stede’s fruit, the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Skeleton is unique among the Zoan-class since a skeleton is not a living being.

## Sub-classes

### Odd

**Odd Zoan** is a sub-class of Zoan that allows users to transform into odd animals, or more specifically, the strange animals unique to the One Piece universe. Odd Zoan Fruits are said to be just as rare as Mythical Zoans.

Odd Zoan-type powers are greater and more versatile compared to regular Zoan-type fruits, due to being from the more unique creatures that inhabit the world.

### Mythical

**Mythical Zoan** is a sub-class of Zoan that allows users to transform into creatures that are the subject of myth and legend. It is the rarest type of Zoan, even more rare than Logia powers.

In accordance with their rarity, Mythical Zoan fruits seem to be the most powerful class of Zoan. As with Ancient Zoans, the physical enhancement granted by Mythical Zoan powers is significantly greater than that of standard Zoans. The most formidable and distinguishing facet of Mythical Zoan fruits is their bestowing of unique, "mythical" abilities that are supplementary to the transformation.

### Ancient

**Ancient Zoan** is a sub-class of Zoan that allows users to transform into ancient animals, such as dinosaurs. Ancient Zoan Fruits are much rarer than regular Zoans.

Ancient Zoan-type powers seem to augment the user's raw physical abilities to a greater extent than standard Zoans, something certainly in keeping with feats exhibited by wielders of Ancient Zoan powers.
