Three Wise Ones
- The Three Wise Ones are beings from the Japanese cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Three Wise Ones (三賢人 San Kenjin) are a mysterious trio of animals that crashed onto Beast ten thousand years ago. Then, Beast was barren, hostile, and lifeless and so the Three Wise Ones retreated underground. There, they created the powerful Head Hunter weapons to create an underground empire and populated the empire with the newly-created Laser Beast race. The Beastformers, an offshoot of the Laser Beasts, recognized the Three Wise Ones as gods.
Each of the Three Wise Ones represent the elements that the Beastformers and Laser Beasts posses. The Wise One of Water (水の賢人 Mizu no Kenjin) is a fish, the Wise One of Fire (火の賢人 Hi no Kenjin) is a lion, and the Wise One of Wood (木の賢人 Ki no Kenjin) is a rhinoceros beetle.
The Three Wise Ones' power is crystallized in six gemstones: two Water Gems, two Fire Gems and two Wood Gems, each made up of one Gem of Stillness and one Gem of Change.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Three Wise Ones crash-landed on Beast and quickly discovered that they could not survive due to the planet's incredible temperature. Immediately, they located a cave and chose to live underground where they could survive somehow. Using their incredible knowledge, they created three machines capable of unfathomable destruction which they dubbed "Head Hunters". They used the Hunters to build a vast subterranean empire, but fearing the destructive power of the Hunters, had all three units separated and hidden across the globe. Later, they developed a new kind of lifeform that would protect the planet once they were gone, the Laser Beast. Legend of the Three Wise Ones
