The '''Hellrunner''' (referred to as '''Merda''' in the original Japanese release) is a dinosaur type Zoid.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
Identified as a non-specific "dinosaur" type, the Hellrunner resembles small, nimble, meat eating dinosaurs such the ''Coelophysis''. During an era where most theropod-inspired Zoids stood in the outdated Godzilla posture, the Hellrunner stands with its tail and body carried parallel to the ground, reflecting the modern scientific consensus, which was just beginning to trickle into pop-cultural depictions of dinosaurs at the time.<br />
<br />
Although an early design, it is still one of the fastest ground-based Zoids ever built, capable of reaching speeds in excess of 400 kilometres per hour. Its primary armament is a beam cannon it carries on its back, which can be swapped out for a missile pod to increase its firepower; it also carries a pair of small machineguns beneath the cockpit as support weapons. Its high mobility compensates for its light frame and armour. It is used for hit and run operations and attacks at high speed.<br />
