Humanform Weapons

Humanform Weapons are creatures used by the Northern Government.

Biology
Humanforms come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. When killed, their entire body becomes encased in violet-red stone, that will go on to consume any living thing in contact with it.

Humanform Experiments
Humanform Weapons were created when the Northern Government began experimenting with Hiruko and decided to develop their own. These experiments included injecting their sample Hiruko into living things, most notably soldiers fatally wounded during the Battle of Barador. A known individual to take part in these experiments is Ryuzo Takehara. The resulting creatures were dubbed 'Humanforms' and continue to be used by the Northern Government.

Trivia

 * 1) A Humanform Tank is the first type of Humanform introduced in the series.
 * 2) Shidara is the first living thing seen turning into a Humanform.
 * 3) Additionally, Shidara's Humanform is the only Humanform that did not turn to stone upon death.
 * 4) The Newborn Humanform, despite having two Spore windows on either side of his spine, only one of them actually possesses a Spore. Whether this was a mistake on the animators' part or was intentional is unknown.
