Zoan

Diagram of a Zoan constructed from a Wigner–Seitz primitive cell.

A zoan is a cross between an animal (nonfiction) and a Koan (nonfiction), functioning as a transdimensional corporation.

Plural zoa.

Zoans were bred as food animals for carnivorous dirigibles, but now (June 2016) survive largely in the wild.
