The "Zoan Type" is a classification of Devil Fruits in the One Piece universe that allows the user to transform into an animal or a hybrid form that combines human and animal traits. This type of fruit grants enhanced physical abilities, such as speed and strength, depending on the animal's characteristics. Zoan Fruits are further divided into three categories: standard Zoan, Ancient Zoan, and Mythical Zoan. Standard Zoan allows transformation into common animals, Ancient Zoan enables transformation into prehistoric creatures like dinosaurs, and Mythical Zoan grants the ability to transform into legendary creatures, such as Phoenix or Dragon.
