Description
In Hydranoid's un-evolved form he walks on four legs, has three purple teeth jutting out from his upper jaw, and a long neck and tail. It also has pink spines running from the middle of its neck to about the end of its tail, which somewhat resembles the tail of a stegosaurus. In addition to this, he has a large pink horn on its nose and red eyes. It also has the starting of the blade in the center of its chest although it cannot move yet. As he evolves, he gains one more head.
Its entire body is composed of a highly intelligent, independent cell structure. His tail can be a very dangerous weapon along with his bite and power blasts.

Bakugan Battle Brawlers
Masquerade has complete power over Hydranoid; its' ultimate evil master. As his partner, it is cruel and merciless in battle and feeds off of the energy gained from defeating an opponent. Masquerade uses Hydranoid to become the ultimate Bakugan so that Hydranoid can hold and bring the Infinity Core to Naga. It is later revealed that Masquerade wants to become the greatest Bakugan Brawler in a battle with Alice and Exedra in the Doom Dimension. Based on the words he uses, his motive for fighting for Naga is for the glory of being great in battle.
He first appears in BAKUGAN THE BATTLE BEGINS, in the Darkus world roaring. He was also seen as a Pyrus Bakugan owned by Dan Kuso, but was never used.

He first appears battling in Just For The Shun Of It during Masquerade and Shun's battle against Dan Kuso. He gets thrown onto Masquerade's third judgement card in round 3 and battles Dragoniod alongside Reaper. He tells Dan how he is the strongest Bakugan ever and how he feeds off the Bakugan he sends to the Doom Dimension. Drago then declares that his rampage ends here and now and then fires boosted Dragon at him, but he feels no damage and laughs at his effort. He then uses his tail to send Drago to the Doom Dimension, but Monarus saves Drago by using Crimson twister moving him to her card. With the third judgement still active Hydranoid uses his tail to send Reaper to the Doom Dimension much to Reaper's horror. In round 4, he goes to Drago's triple battle card to battle him but Dan opens up triple battle and the fight is put on hold. Masquerade plans to bring Laserman to the triple battle allowing him the victory. Shun however turns on Masquerade and sends Skyress into the triple battle to help out Drago. Hydranoid then tells her she won't be around to enjoy the party. He then uses Chaos of the Darkness attacking Drago with a energy blast. Drago uses Fire wall to protect himself from the attack. Skyress also fly's away from the blasts Hydranoid then loses control and attacks Falconeer sending it to the Doom Dimension. Hydranoid then gains more power. He then attacks again and sends Laserman to the Doom Dimension as well. He then tries to break Drago's shield with no success by firing more blasts. Drago then shoots Boosted Dragon into his mouth thus defeating him and causing Masqerade to lose.

He attacks Bee Striker and sends it to the Doom Dimension. El Condor's power also dropped allowing Hydranoid to attack it and sent it to the Doom Dimension as well. In the next round he battles Harpus who insults his teeth.
