Monster Island Scientists

The Monster Island Scientists are a team of five scientists each resembling a different anthropomorphicized animal. They are the antagonists of the "Monster Island" arc of the manga and episode 31 of the Cyborg Soldier anime.

History
The Scientists set their creations upon a hapless traveler, causing him to be poisoned by one of Dr. Mamushi's bugs, He was soon found by GB and Chang Changku, who brought him to Dr. Gilmore so he could cure the traveler.

Suspecting there may be Black Ghost activity in the area, Cyborgs 006, 007 and 009 go to investigate, coming across more of the scientists' creations in the process. They are later attacked by a mushroom-shaped weapon belonging to the scientists, but they survive and attempt to find where the strange weapon came from, discovering a man-made island full of genetically and cybernetically enhanced animals.

The 00 cyborgs then infiltrate the island by digging underground and confront the scientists. The 00 Cyborgs accuse the scientists of being members of Black Ghost, but the scientists claim to be an independent group funded by Black Ghost. They then reveal that the monsters the 00 cyborgs encountered were originally innocent humans and animals subjected to genetic experiments.

The scientists send their zombified creations to attack the 00 cyborgs, but Joe finds their main control room and destroys their means of controlling the monsters. Now free, the zombies turn on and attack the scientists alive, as well as attempting to destroy the island. 009 tries to convince the zombies to escape safely, but to no avail, and 002 tells him that there is no time and they must leave.
