Captain of the Underwater Forces in the Laser Beast army, '''Zariganian''' (ザリガニアン) simply does not relent. Like a coiled spring, he is always tensed, waiting for the call to action. He pushes forward with a seemingly inexhaustible reserve of energy, with a laser-like focus on his goal. He is very sensitive to noise, able to easily detect differences in a sound's wavelength, making it incredibly difficult to hide from him. Once he sets his eye on a target, he will not rest until he has ended it.
