EX ARMOR TYPE: MONOCEROS. This new Armor Type emblazoned with the emblem of the Liberty Alliance was designed with a motif based on its namesake, the one-horned mythical creature known as Monoceros, or unicorn.

Unlike the universal Armor Type designs that prioritize life support capabilities, Monoceros was developed for offensive purposes. Designed for utilization with the super soldiers created by Hakua Riken as part of a research project to create a stronger human body, Monoceros is a difficult armor type to use, as many of its features are dependent on the user’s specific abilities.

In order to stand against threats to the Liberty Alliance such as Zoanthropus Lowe and Para-Pawn Expander, the super soldiers must overcome the limits on their physical strength and senses. These super soldiers have been modified to free them from the need to depend on machinery, but their existence as the strongest fighters amongst the human race comes at the price of their humanity. There is one recorded example of a soldier equipping a Monoceros and engaging with an Expander. Although only for a short time, the soldier was able to overpower the expander in an unprecedented showing of strength, earning that soldier the special title of “Byakurinkaku.”
