Zoan

Zoan is one of the three Devil Fruit types. This type of Devil Fruit allows a user to transform into an animal species at will, or an inter-species hybrid.

The term was first used when Dalton's Devil Fruit was used to attack Wapol.

Etymology

 * Zoan comes from the Ancient Greek zôia (ζῷᾰ), plural of zôion (ζῷον), which means "animal" or "beast".
 * In zoology, the suffix -zoan (plural -zoa) indicates a taxon of animal(like) organisms. Examples are protozoan (a type of one-celled eukaryote, once wrongly identified as the "first animal"), anthozoan, and metazoan (another term for animal in general).
 * This would relate to a similar possible etymology of "Paramecia" as the plural of Paramecium: a genus of single-celled, ciliated freshwater protozoa.
 * "Zoan" appears in the word zoanthropy, a clinical term for a monomania in which a person believes him-/herself changed into a lower animal, with correspondingly altered behavior. The term relates to/is sometimes used synonymously with "therianthropy": the mythological ability and/or affliction of humans to shapeshift into animals or human-animal hybrids.

Overview
Zoan-type Devil Fruits grant the ability to transform into a certain animal species.

Unlike Paramecia and Logia Devil Fruits, Zoans are said to have "a will of their own," even before consumption. When Kaku received his Devil Fruit, he sensed a strange, otherworldly power coming off of it, comparing it to gravity.

Forms
Generally, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit provides the user with three basic forms that they can change between at will:
 * Human Form (人型): The user's natural form prior to consuming the fruit.
 * Human-Beast Form (人獣型): A hybrid form, combining the characteristics of both the user's original species and the fruit-bestowed species. This form can be rather unusual (sometimes in a bizarre way where the user grows much larger in size).
 * Beast Form (獣型): A form in which the user is fully transformed into the fruit-bestowed species.

A majority of the Zoan Devil Fruits come in different groups, known as "series", differentiated by specific species classification, known as "models". These groups are divided based on the different variations of animal; for example, the Jackal, Dachshund, Wolf, Tanuki, and Okuchi-no-Makami Fruits fall into the Inu Inu (Dog) series; while the Bison and Giraffe Fruits belong to the Ushi Ushi (Ox) series; and the Anaconda, King Cobra, and Yamata no Orochi Fruits are of the Hebi Hebi (snake) series. Even for fruits without a model, there may be other fruits within the same series that do have one; for example, Chopper's Hito Hito no Mi, Sengoku's Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu, Onimaru's Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Onyudo, and Luffy's Hito Hito No Mi, Model: Nika. Sengoku's fruit is also unique among Zoans in that rather than turning him into a living being, it transforms him into an animate golden statue.

Zoan hybrid forms are almost always bipedal. The only known hybrid forms of human users shown so far that were not bipedal are the Gorgon Sisters' Hebi Hebi no Mi fruits (as snakes do not have legs) and Beast Pirates Jack's Zou Zou no Mi fruit (which is centaur-like for an unknown reason). Another effect shown for many different known Zoan users is that when in the half-human half-animal hybrid state, sometimes the user tends to grow bigger than they normally are, even to giant proportions. Some full Beast Forms are larger than the real animal is too; the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Saber Tiger for example.

Most Zoan fruits only provide the three basic forms. However, through training or the use of certain drugs, it is possible for Zoan users to unlock additional transformations; for instance, Chopper could transform into several different "points" with the use of a Rumble Ball, and Black Maria used a similar drug to alter her own Human-Beast form. Chopper was then able to train himself to transform into most of his points without using a Rumble Ball, and Marco could transform selective parts of his body.

It's also important to note that not all Zoans work exactly in the same way as others. For example: the Tama Tama no Mi gives the user's body the properties of a chicken egg and requires an outside force for the user to transform further into a chick, then a full-grown chicken and then back into the original form. Also, though non-canon, Grount's ability is only able to transform his left arm for some reason.

Inanimate Object Zoan


Some years before the current timeline, Dr. Vegapunk discovered a technique that allows one to make an inanimate object "eat" a Devil Fruit. The details of the technique have not yet been revealed. So far, Zoan is the only type of Devil Fruit that inanimate objects have been shown as being able to absorb. The technique that allows an object to eat a Zoan fruit is not limited to solid materials, as toxic gaseous slime can also be used as a medium.

Objects that have "ingested" a Zoan Fruit gain the standard Full Beast and Hybrid transformations in addition to the ability to turn back into their object form at will. This gives them the mobility, abilities, and intelligence of the animal they turn into, in addition to having the properties and abilities of the object they were made from. Inanimate object Zoans seem to be very loyal to whomever owns them.

However, the object also gains a living creature's ability to feel pain and fear and becomes susceptible to disease.

The four cases in which an inanimate object have canonically absorbed a Devil Fruit are:
 * Babe's bazooka Lassoo: Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Dachshund
 * Spandam's sword Funkfreed: Zou Zou no Mi
 * Caesar Clown's poisonous gas Smiley: Sara Sara no Mi, Model: Axolotl
 * Kozuki Sukiyaki's teapot Bunbuku: Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Tanuki

Non-canonically, two more cases have been seen:
 * Shuzo's bazooka Alpacacino
 * Patrick Redfield's pen Pato: Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Bake-danuki

Sub-Classes
The Zoan class Devil Fruit has three known sub-classes that exist beside the standard variety: Ancient, Mythical, and Artificial. The first two are considered to be rarer than regular Zoans.

Ancient Zoan


Ancient Zoan (「系」古代種) is a sub-class of Zoan. Fruits falling into this category grant transformations into ancient/prehistoric animals, like dinosaurs, and are much rarer than regular Zoans.

On top of a significant physical power boost, Ancient Zoan transformations may come with bodily traits not seen in modern-day animals, which may be advantageous in combat. Examples include the extremely durable, super-thick skull plate granted by the pachycephalosaurus Zoan, the mammoth Zoan bestowing a strong trunk and large tusks beyond a regular elephant's, or the saber-toothed tiger Zoan granting an elongated pair of fangs that modern big cats do not possess. Dinosaur models, in particular, are noted for bestowing incredible resilience when their transformation is invoked, due to the tough hides/scales they give users.

Some Ancient Zoan fruits may grant very abnormal physical abilities that, supposedly, were possessed by the ancient animals in question. For example: Sasaki is able to rotate his triceratops neck frill like a propeller to simulate flight; Queen can become a pseudo-snake of sorts by detaching his brachiosaurus neck and tail from his torso; King can shoot out his pteranodon head with incredible force like a slingshot, by pulling back on and then letting go of his head crest.

Nine Ancient Zoan powers have been revealed so far, all of which are wielded by former members of the Beasts Pirates, of the top officer ranks. Six of those are dinosaur/pterosaur models:
 * Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Allosaurus: Eaten by X Drake.
 * Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Spinosaurus: Eaten by Page One.
 * Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon: Eaten by King.
 * Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Brachiosaurus: Eaten by Queen.
 * Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pachycephalosaurus: Eaten by Ulti.
 * Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Triceratops: Eaten by Sasaki.

Three of said nine are not based on ancient reptiles:
 * Zou Zou no Mi, Model: Mammoth: Eaten by Jack.
 * Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli: Eaten by Black Maria.
 * Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Saber Tiger: Eaten by Who's-Who.

Mythical Zoan


Mythical Zoan (「系」幻獣種) is a sub-class of Zoan that allows users to transform into creatures that are the subject of myth and legend. It is the rarest Zoan type, even rarer than Logia powers, and in accordance with this rarity seems to be the most powerful Zoan category.

Mythical Zoans demonstrate some of the most varied properties of any Devil Fruit: on top of the transformation itself, most come with "mythical" abilities that are Paramecia-like in nature. Examples include the daibutsu Zoan's ability to project shockwaves, the phoenix Zoan's ability to heal using blue flames, and the nine-tailed fox Zoan's ability to transform into someone's lookalike (heavily resembling a certain Paramecia power). Some Mythical Zoan users have demonstrated access to such special abilities without invoking their transformation; the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, in particular, permanently transforms the consumer's body into a rubbery state, akin to the lasting effects of certain body altering Paramecias. Finally, a Mythical Zoan fruit may bestow more than just one special ability, e.g.: Kaidou is able to create and control different elements in his Azure Dragon form (fire, lightning, and wind), as well as conjure Flame Clouds to make himself and other things fly. It is worth noting that unlike Logias, Mythical Zoan users who have control over an element cannot necessarily transform themselves into it.

Nine Mythical Zoan powers have been shown in canon:
 * Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika: Eaten by Monkey D. Luffy.
 * Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix: Eaten by Marco.
 * Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu: Eaten by Sengoku.
 * Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu: Eaten by Kaidou.
 * Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyubi no Kitsune: Eaten by Catarina Devon.

 * Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Onyudo: Eaten by Onimaru.
 * Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami: Eaten by Yamato.
 * Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus: Eaten by Stronger.

So far only one Artificial Mythical Zoan power has been shown in canon:
 * Artificial Devil Fruit: Eaten by Kozuki Momonosuke. The fruit is a "failed" copy of the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu.

Non-canonically, three more Mythical Zoans have been seen:
 * Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Bake-danuki: Eaten by Pato.
 * Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire: Eaten by Patrick Redfield.
 * Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Nue: Eaten by Toratsugu.

Artificial Zoan


Artificial Zoan is a type of Zoan Devil Fruit created through non-natural means. Unlike normal Devil Fruits, artificial Devil Fruits have ring patterns rather than the typical swirl pattern.

In the Punk Hazard Arc, it is revealed that Dr. Vegapunk attempted to create his own Devil Fruit. However, the resulting fruit was a failure. Momonosuke found the failed Devil Fruit and ate it out of hunger. As a result, he gained the ability to transform into an Eastern dragon, though he has shown little to no control over the ability.

At a later point, Caesar Clown concocted a substance known as SAD and used it to successfully create specialized Artificial Zoan type Devil Fruits named "SMILEs". Kaidou, one of the Four Emperors, monopolizes SMILEs to create an army of Zoan users in collaboration with Donquixote Doflamingo. Unfortunately, SMILEs only have a 10% success rate. The other 90%, in addition to losing the ability to swim, will also lose the ability to express negative emotions and will only be able to smile and laugh, regardless of their true feelings.

Artificial Devil Fruits also differ from normal Devil Fruits in that some of those who eat Artificial Fruits appear to be permanently stuck in hybrid form, unable to change to either full human or full beast form. Furthermore, Artificial Fruits are unique in that they can give fruit users a sentient version of their animal as well, for example Holed'em's lion head, named Kamijiro, located in his stomach, and similarly Babanuki's elephant head, also in his stomach. These creatures are shown to be sentient, with separate minds from their users, to the point where they can even quarrel with one another, as seen when Kamijiro attacked Holed'em's crotch while annoyed with Holed'em. Interestingly, despite this individuality mentally, it has been shown that they share the same body and feelings physically, as Kamijiro almost immediately reacted to the pain after Holed'em did. It is also shown that SMILE users are vulnerable to Tama's Devil Fruit ability.

Strengths
While there are many unique abilities, a characteristic of Zoan-types is the ability to strengthen your own physical abilities! The more you train, the more your power is amplified. For aggressive attacks, the Zoan-type is the strongest! The primary strength of Zoan-type fruits is improving the user's physical abilities and attributes, far surpassing the raw physical power of a typical human. This was demonstrated by Lucci and Kaku, whose Rokushiki attacks became exponentially more powerful when they activated their human-beast hybrid forms. Zoan fruits give the user the ability to augment their preexisting strength and abilities with the strength and abilities of the animal that they transform into. As stated by Rob Lucci, Zoan users are able to further increase their physical strength through training.



As stated by Tony Tony Chopper, a fruit that transforms the user into a carnivorous animal is called a Carnivorous Zoan (肉食の系). The users of carnivorous Zoan Fruits become more ferocious than other Zoan users and have predatory attributes that are advantageous in combat, such as sharp fangs and claws. This was first brought up when Chopper saw Rob Lucci transform into a leopard.

In addition to the enhancement of the user's physical might, Zoan fruit powers possess a large variety of useful abilities that are mainly dependent on the kind of animal that the fruit allows the user to transform into. By transforming into the animal form or the animal-human hybrid form, the Zoan user gains the features of the animal that they do not have in their normal state. For example:
 * Users of bird Zoans and flying insect Zoans gain the ability to fly.
 * The mole Zoan allows the user to dig through the earth.
 * The king cobra Zoan allows the user to spit globs of venom.
 * A spider Zoan allows the user to spin webs to entrap enemies.
 * The turtle Zoan allows the user to gain a turtle's hard shell on their back for protection.
 * Users of wild canine and feline Zoans, such as Lucci's Leopard Zoan, Jabra's Wolf Zoan, and Chaka's Jackal Zoan, gain sharp teeth and claws.
 * Animals who eat the human Zoan gain human intelligence and the ability to speak.

Mythical Zoan-type users gain these advantages to a more extreme degree, as their animals typically possess special supernatural powers that are impossible for naturally existing animals to possess or obtain. For example, the Phoenix Zoan allows the user to generate flames that have healing properties, granting the user the ability to regenerate from attack damage and healing others to a degree.



Inanimate object Zoan users possess additional abilities that organic Zoan user do not possess, based on the nature of the object. For example, Funkfreed, a sword with an elephant Zoan can be used to both charge at opponent's as an elephant and cut opponents with its blade. Lassoo, as a gun that can transform into a dachshund, is able to independently move around while firing projectiles. Bunbuku is able to store hot liquids in its body due to being a teapot, even when it is transformed into a tanuki.

While it has not been stated that inanimate objects cannot be "fed" Paramecia and Logia-type fruits, every Devil Fruit-powered object seen so far has had a Zoan ability.

Awakening


Like all Devil Fruit abilities, Zoan types can be "awakened". An awakened Zoan gains far greater strength, speed, and durability than those with un-awakened Zoan powers. This also includes a faster recovery rate, which functions involuntarily, even when the user is unconscious. However, awakening a Zoan fruit comes with a risk of the innate nature of the fruit's respective animal consuming the user, causing them to lose their personalities and become simple-minded beasts. In those cases, awakened Zoan fruit users do not show signs of complex thought, seemingly acting out of instinct and power, and are always in a form resembling their full beast form, but with human attributes. This drawback reveals the reason behind the Jailer Beast's dull-looking and simplistic nature. It is unknown if they can still revert back to their original form after awakening, or if these new forms and mindsets are permanent.



In some rare cases, though, Zoan users can retain their personality upon awakening their fruit. In these cases, rather than degenerating into a mindless beast as with most awakened Zoans, the user will gain access to a powerful new Awakened Form (覚醒フォルム) in addition to their previous transformations. This form is characterized by flaming hair and what appears to be sash of flaming smoke appearing around the user. So far, only Monkey D. Luffy, Rob Lucci and Kaku have demonstrated this ability. Yamato also gains flaming hair and what appears to be a ribbon-like trail of cold air in both their hybrid and full Okuchi no Makami forms, but it has not been confirmed if this is the normal transformed appearance or an awakened form.

As a Mythical Zoan, Luffy his fruit's awakening also demonstrates traits of an awakened Paramecia, such as expanding his rubber powers and being able to transform the surrounding environment, including other living beings and even intangible substances like lightning, into rubber. However, as with awakened Paramecia users, those who are not used to their awakened powers will suffer from severe exhaustion if used too much.

Four of the five Jailer Beasts, Monkey D. Luffy, Rob Lucci and Kaku are all confirmed to be awakened Zoan users. It is unknown if the Jailer Beasts' new recruit, Minochihuahua, is one too.

Weaknesses


With the exception of certain supernatural abilities granted by Mythical-type fruits, Zoan fruits usually only enhance the physical attributes of the users' body. Thus, Zoan-type users are unable to affect their environment in the unique ways that many Paramecia and Logia-type fruit users are capable of; at best, their new forms just give them greater protection from physical and environmental peril. Given that Zoan abilities are most effective in close combat, opponents who can use their environment to fight from a distance may reduce a Zoan user's effectiveness.

Although Zoan users possess the ability to improve their physical power, they may initially have trouble adjusting to their transformed bodies and utilizing their fighting styles with different physical attributes. This was first seen when Kaku tried to fight for the first time after eating the Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Giraffe and struggled to use his swords with his arms and neck becoming much longer. However, users who are innovative such as Kaku can typically find ways to use their Zoan transformations to change and improve their fighting styles. New Zoan users can also have difficulty transforming into their hybrid form, potentially resulting in chaos if their full animal form is not suited for their environment, as seen when Kaku fully transformed into a giraffe and fell through the floor. Furthermore, even though Zoan users can increase their abilities when they transform, the user's own natural abilities and skills will ultimately affect the results. Kurozumi Orochi, who has been a Mythical Zoan-type user for around 41 years and had entered his full beast form, was effortlessly defeated by six of the Nine Red Scabbards, despite all of them badly wounded after being defeated by Kaidou.



If a Zoan user should receive a permanent wound or even lose a limb while in a transformed state, transforming back into their regular forms won't allow them to heal such injuries. This was shown when Kaidou was dealt an ever-lasting scar by Kozuki Oden while transformed into a dragon, yet it continued to appear on him even when in human form. This also includes limbs that grow from the user as a result of their Zoan form, such as when Orochi could not regrow any of his additional heads that were cut off during the Raid on Onigashima.

Zoan fruits grant different degrees of intelligence based on what the user is and what kind of creature they transform into. Animals who consume the Hito Hito no Mi will gain the intelligence of a human, while objects with Zoan abilities gain the consciousness of that animal. This may create challenges for people who own animals or objects with Zoan powers. Animals who transform into other animals do not increase their intelligence, and so their ability to utilize advantages granted by their transformation may be limited. Inanimate objects retain their animal consciousness even when in their inanimate form, which may result in their usefulness decreasing if they are afflicted by emotions such as fear. This was seen when Funkfreed transformed from his sword form to his elephant form when Franky threatened him. Additionally, inanimate Zoan users can get afflicted by ailments like sickness, as seen by Lassoo having a cold.

If any creature were to eat a Zoan-class Devil Fruit that is exactly the same as their original species (such as a human eating the Hito Hito no Mi), it would result in a complete waste, as they gain no transformation whatsoever, yet acquire all the typical weaknesses of Devil Fruit users.

Translation and Dub Issues

 * The Japanese term Genjūshu has been translated wrongly as "Crypto Zoan" or "Cryptic Zoan" though 幻獣種 literally means "mythical beast type".
 * The fact that all Dinosaur Zoans fall under the group of "Ryu Ryu no Mi" (meaning "Dragon") can be explained by how in most Asian languages, the word "Dinosaur" is the same as the word "Dragon".

Trivia

 * Given that the Gomu Gomu no Mi was once a Mythical Zoan before being reclassified as a Paramecia, this technically makes the Zoan class the first of the three types of Devil Fruit to be introduced in the story.
 * Curiously, some users (like Queen and Jack) keep their human haircut while transformed into their full animal form, while others (like Rob Lucci) do not. Other users were also seen to keep some of their human form features in their full animal form, such as Sasaki keeping his signature canines in his animal form despite Triceratops not possessing canine teeth, or Ulti keeping her horns in her full animal form.
 * Every non-humanoid Devil Fruit user (animal or object) is a Zoan type user.
 * The Beasts Pirates have the largest number of Zoan fruit users in a single organization, with 9 natural Devil Fruit users (11 if the traitorous X Drake and rebellious Yamato are included), plus over 500 additional Gifters.
 * They have all the Zoan sub-classes (Ancient, Mythical, and Artificial) in their organization, but appear to lack the standard Zoan type.
 * Every Ancient and Mythical Zoan user makes an appearance during the Wano Country Arc.
 * This excludes Stronger, who was revealed to have eaten the Mythical Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus on a later arc.
 * Several scrapped Zoan type Devil Fruit ideas were reveled via concept arts.
 * Neko Neko no Mi, Model Black Cat, which was initially intended for Marguerite.
 * Unnamed crab devil fruit, which was initially intended for Inazuma.
 * Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model Stegosaurus, which was initially intended for Black Maria.
