Abilities[]
- Superhuman Strength: Like other Ultralink monsters, they are stronger than an average individual.
- Superhuman Durability: Like their brothers, Gun Links are nearly unbreakable in the long term, but can be beaten for short periods of time.
- Guns: Gun Links have machine guns for hands capable of launching projectiles at rapid succession.
- Unlimited Stamina: They can fight or take damage for long periods without needing to rest or eat.
Weaknesses[]
- Energy Core: The weak spot of Gun Links are their energy core, which are located on their heads. If hit with enough power, they will temporarily faint.
- Vulnerability to the Ultralink Hunters' Weapons: Gun Links, being an Ultralink bond, are vulnerable to Ven-Ghan's gear, which allows him to unlink the alien from its host with ease.
Appearance[]
Gun Links have a similar body type to other Ultralink monsters, having a skinny yet muscular build. They possess an angular and mechanical design for their armor, which bears a resemblance to military equipment, and a spiky segmented line on the spine. They have three spherical eyes on each side of their face, spiky teeth protruding from their lower jaw and an Ultralink core on the forehead region. Their bodies are dark brown and feature thick angular yellow stripes on the neck, shoulders, biceps, thighs and shins. They have gun for hands, double-jointed feet and two spiky toes.
In the second season, an alternate design for Gun Links are introduced. While their base model remains the same, the yellow stripes become orange and the Ultralink's eyes and energy core color switch to yellow.
