The Stealth Viper is very quick and agile, like many small Zoids. However, it differs in that it is also fairly well-armed, and can easily hold it's own against larger Zoids if used properly. It has the ability to burrow underground to escape enemies providing that the earth is loose, and its lack of appendages makes it hard to target any one point to slow it down as well as giving it more flexibility. It also has inate stealth abilities which make it difficult to detect given the right conditions, and is equipped with heat sensors in its mouth.

Unfortunately, it also has several disadvantages. The first being the fact that it has an extremely light armor plating, rivaling the Guysack, and thus it is not capable of taking much damage. Luckily, it is able to slither around obstacles fairly easily, due to its flexiblity, but it comes at a cost; it's sheer length makes it a sizeable target to aerial attackers.

Weapons:
Dual 40mm Machineguns
These are located on either side of the Stealth Viper's head. They're fully-automatic, roughly 8 shots per second, and are capable of inclining 180 degrees, allowing them to hit targets in front of, above, or to the rear of the Stealth Viper. Although they can't pivot outwards at all, the Stealth Viper is so flexible that this is a non-issue.

Dual 20mm Laser Machineguns
These are located on either side of the Stealth Viper's body, just in front of the main center "box". They operate much like the 40mm machineguns, except for the lighter caliber, and the fact that they fire bolts of energy rather than bullets.

Dual Twin Rockets
Behind the center 'box' are two rocket launchers, one located on either side of the Viper. As the name suggests, there are two rockets in each launcher. These are hard to use properly, due to their positioning on the Stealth Viper's body, and could potentially hit the Viper itself. However, they're capable of inclining 180 degrees, allowing them to be fired upwards or to the rear with little trouble.

Twin Multi-Purpose Missiles
Located on the Stealth Viper's tail are two missiles. The missiles are equally capable of hitting surface and air targets, but only if they're behind the Viper. Of course, behind is a relative term when talking about the Stealth Viper, as it's flexible enough to point its tail in nearly any direction. Capable of locking on target much like virtually every missile in existence; in fact, they almost have to be locked, due to their positioning.

Hardened Alloy Fangs
The Stealth Viper is a snake, and like all snakes, it has a pair of very nasty fangs. These fangs pierce armor like a natural snake's fangs can pierce a human's skin, thus giving it a fairly nasty bite.

Executing Special Abilities:
Steam Vents
The Stealth Viper has steam vents all over it's body. At the command of the pilot, steam is released from the vents in all directions of the zoid and permeates the immediate terrain. This hinders the opponent's sight and conceals the Viper for as long as the steam is there.

Infrared and Noise Suppression Equipment
Like the Helcat, the Stealth Viper comes equipped with IR Dampeners and Noise Suppressors, making the zoid impossible to track via radar and allowing it to travel with a minimal amount of sound. This equipment is always active.

Burrowing
The Stealth Viper has the ability to burrow under both sand and loose earth. It can only go a meter or two underground, though, and it leaves a trail of displaced earth/sand behind it. Now, that's not to say that it's easy to spot underground, but moderate- to high-caliber guns can easily penetrate the thin covering of soil or sand and damage the Stealth Viper. It's top speed in sand is roughly 135 km/h, while its top speed in loose earth is roughly 90 km/h, half of its normal speed.

Swimming
The Stealth Viper also has the ability to swim. It is somewhat better at swimming than it is at burrowing, able to swim at 65 knots, but none of its weapons work particularly well underwater, so it's at somewhat of a disadvantage there too.

Name:Saber Lion
Alignment: Republican
Family: Cat
Registration Number: RZ-062
Height: 6.0
Length: 8.5
Weight: 14.5
Top Speed: 205 kmh (running)/255 kmh (boosters)
Weapons: Hardened Alloy Laser Blades x3, Hardened Alloy Claws and Teeth
Special Abilities: 360-degree Visual Imaging, Blade Attack

The Saber Lion is quite the strange little beast. Its original purpose was to provide escort to the President of the former Helic Republic as the President traveled through the Capital. Because of that, the craft is well suited for combat in urban terrains and is now used by the Zoid Battle Commission to police the streets of Twilight City alongside the Gun Tiger. The combat variation's cockpit is located within the head.

The Saber Lion's strengths lie within its ability to shred its opponents with speed and agility. It's a maneuverable little sucker, but its speed and ability to move came at four costs. For what little coverage of armor that it has, the Saber Lion is given only the barest amount. It lacks the defensive energy shields that popularized the Liger series, and in its most basic form lacks any sort of ranged weaponry. It is also incredibly light and can be tossed easily.

Weapons:
Hardened Alloy Laser Blades:
On either side of the Lion's upper-middle back is a 3 meter long razor-sharp cutting blade, and a much larger curved blade rests on its head. That one blade is hinged, allowing for movement on a vertical scale. The blades can be used either charged or uncharged. The Saber Lion's small size allows it to actually run underneath many of the larger quadrupeds allowing for many possibilities.

Hardened Alloy Claws and Teeth:
The most basic of all Zoid Weaponry. Used for up-close-and-personal combat, in the dirtiest, most feral type of combat known. Good for ripping and shredding away all of your opponent's unwanted armor.

Executing Special Abilities:
360-degree Visual Imaging
The majority of Zoids possess optical sensors. However, those sensors function just like eyes in the fact that they cannot see behind them. The Saber Lion is gifted with visual scanners that allow the Zoid to see in every direction without physically turning, making it very useful in urban situations. However, limitations exist in the fact that the pilot is rather incapable of looking at in every direction at the same time.

Blade Attack:
A melee combat maneuver which can be executed by charging all three blades with laser energy. The attack is performed by running along side an enemy Zoid and using the charged blades to cut through it. Or, the larger head-blade could be used for spearing or more ingenious purposes.
