Zerbebuth in his human and Hyper-Zoanoid form in the 2005 Anime Series.
erbebuth (Also: Zelbebuth, Zerebubuse) was the first Hyper-Zoanoid, who accompanied Richard Guyot to Japan. He was sent to engage Guyver I, and to this end abducted Mizuki Segawa, but was killed by Guyver III in his very first appearance.
Years later, Chronos deployed a group of specialized Hyper-Zoanoids to defeat Guyver II-F ; the first of these, appropriately, was an upgraded version of Zerbebuth. This "Empowered Zerbebuth" was nevertheless also defeated.
The original Zerbebuth proved a powerful foe for the inexperienced Guyver I. His crustacean-like armor was enormously dense, and strong enough to resist the Guyver's punches as well as his Head Beam. His physical strength was three times as great as Gregole's - the strongest production Zoanoid in Japan at the time - and he possessed clusters of Bio-Blasters in his forearms eight times as powerful as the bio-blasters of the Vamore. He was also equipped with a weapon unique to him: three flexible nozzles, positioned around his head, through which he could squirt an extremely corrosive substance across several meters.
2005 Anime Series
Zerebebuth's form in the 2005 series.
In the 2005 anime series, Zerebebuth arrives in Japan, with Commander-in-Chief Richard Guyot and three other Hyper-Zoanoids. After the Official Summoning of Richard Guyot, and Genzo Makishima was over, Inspector Lisker was going to escort the Commander-in-Chief Richard Guyot to some barracks, when he was subsequently scolded for equiping the Unit-G. Taking the opportunity, Zerebebuth insulted the Inspector, knowing who he was, and trying to show that he was indeed a superior officer himself. Richard Guyot took this as a desire, of Zerebebuth wanting to please him, he then deployed Zerebebuth immediately to obtain Guyver I. Zerebebuth arrived at Guyver I's (Sho Fukamachi) High School, and ordered Agito Makishima to play a recording of Hybnotic Soundwaves, to send all of the staff, and students home, so he could battle the Guyver I without any interruptions. He wouldn't be until about two hours later, that Zerebebuth's scouts would locate the Guyver, and once they did, they were killed off almost instantly by Guyver I; however, it was indeed too late, for Zerebebuth had found their location. He didn't hesitate to attack Sho, and did so, without mercy. The battle, raged all across the school property, and even drew in Police Officer Tanaka. Zerebebuth clearly had the uper hand on Guyver I, who was hesitant in using his Mega-Smasher.. Zerebebuth used this fully to his advantage, and used a wide variety of attacks and techniques on Guyver I. Beaten down, and losing the will to fight, Guyver I seemed to be unable to resist this powerful Hyper-Zoanoid, however, when he saw his good friend Officer Tanaka (who had stumbled on the site and discovered both the Guyver and Zerebebuth) murdered, by Zerebebuth's Acid Attack, he charged him, and hit him with everything he had, yet inspite that, he still seemed unable to defeat this powerful behemoth of a Zoanoid, who in turn kicked him through a school room. Zerebebuth was about to finish off Guyver I, with the full power of his Bio-Blasters, when Guyver I, discovered his new ability, the Pressure Cannon, which not only canceled out Zerebebuth's Bio-Blaster, it peirced his skin, and nearly killed him. However, Zerebebuth was called back by Cammander-in-Chief Richard Guyot, before the Guyver I could finish him off. He wouldn't be seen again as the same Hyper-Zoanoid, but as a new, and much more powerful version, known as "Empowered Zerebebuth".

been working on for years. After Richard Guyot had taken over the Japanese Branch, Genzo Makishima used Zerebebuth in attempt to safe his position in Chronos, and to get back the Guyver Units which he had lost. In order to do this affectively, Genzo had Sho's close friend Mizuki Segawa kidnapped and brought to where Zerebebuth was located. When Sho Fukamachi arrived he was ambushed by Chronos's Zoanoids. He

quickly killed them off, but even doing so, he expended much of his Bio-Energy, which made him even more vulnerable to Zerebebuth's attack. Zerebebuth clearly had the upper hand on Guyver I, and was about to finish him, when Sho (Guyver I), saw the corspe of one of the Zoanoids he had previously killed, hanging from the rafters. He shot it down using his Head-Beam, to distract Zerebebuth and used the opportunity to knee him in the face. This attack broke through Zerebebuth's armor, and wounded him greatly, however it also broke Guyver I's knee. Zerebebuth then retreated to use Mizuki as a shield, but was attacked by Guyver III and killed.
