About the site
At some point, this site hopes to be the largest English-language collection of information about the Zoids universe, both factual and fictional. For the moment, it will mainly serve as a home for my translations and some media that is no longer accessible by normal means. It is divided into the following sections:
- ZOIDS DATABANKS: Various information about the Zoids franchise, its real-life products and its fictional worlds.
- THE LIBRARY OF EUROPA: Translations of various Zoids media, such as books, games and comics.
- THE VAULT: Zoids media themselves (or at least electronic copies), such as magazine scans, music and webpages.
- ZOIDS: RETURN: My plans for an epic multimedia fanfiction project in tribute to the Zoids Battle Story.

About the creator
I go by the names Falcarius or Cheironyx online. I am an Australian Zoids fan and amateur translator, who discovered the Zoids franchise in 2004 (or thereabouts) when I bought an NPR Killerdome at a school fair for 50 cents. Since then, I have become an expert on the franchise and also learned Japanese, thanks mostly to my interest in the Battle Story. I have a moderately-sized collection of Zoids models (currently between 50 and 100) and an almost-complete collection of Zoids books. My other interests include dinosaurs, Japanese, Touhou Project and puzzle solving, and I am a Hall of Fame entrant in the online riddle Inward Hellix.
