"'I think I've come to understand how she feels. ... A mother and her child disappeared when Xam'd was born. Xam'd looks like a mother protecting its child, doesn't it?' - Dr. Kanba"The Test-Type Xam'd was a pregnant Xam'd who was captured by the Southern Government on Sentan Island during a subway explosion ten days prior to the Northern Government's attacks.

Appearance
The Test-Type Xam'd was a colossal Xam'd that was dormant within the red stone that typically covers a deceased Hiruko (Xam'd and Humanforms).

History
The Xam'd was theorized by Dr. Kanba to be a mother protecting their child during the Subterranean Metro Incident.

Biography
The Test-Type Xam'd is first seen asleep and in chains during Commander Kagisu and Dr. Kanba's first meeting.

Dr. Kanba attempts to jump start with the power of ASP's (Anti Soul Powered Exo Skeletons) as an experiment. The jump start works and the Xam'd breaks free of it's stone body and begins its climb out of the facility on Sentan Island. As it emerges from the facility two ASP test pilots, Haru Nishimura and Furuichi Teraoka, are suddenly ordered to subdue the Test-Type Xam'd.

Haru refuses to attack the Test-Type after believing it to be pregnant but Furuichi attacks in a attempt to stop the monster from reaching the citizens of the island. The Test-Type manages to use a shield created by the 'Child' half still within the mother. It absorbed every shot that the ASP's attack with.

The Test-Type pauses for a brief moment after seeing a great tower across the ocean with a great eye at the top. Lowering it's shield for a moment, sprouting a pair of Prana wings.

Furuichi takes the opportunity to attack, ultimately defeating the Test-Type with a few shots to it's back.

It was slowly consumed by red rock at the edge of the facility, awaiting to be taken back underground.
