Tunneler Beasts are a type of mutated Jumpers.

History

During the invasion of Antropolis City, the Tunneler Beasts encountered two Heroes, Daniel Rocka and Mark Surge, who had come underground to rescue two of their teammates, in the Jumpers' lair's magnetic cavern. The Tunneler Beasts were ultimately unsuccessful in stopping the Heroes from reaching the Queen Beast when Surge used his Battle Machine called the Surge & Rocka Combat Machine to defeat two of them, but after a rock smashed Surge's cockpit in the machine and sent him flying, a third of the beasts kidnapped him. Rocka used the jet part of the machine to chase after the beast to save Surge. A fourth Tunneler Beast tried to get Rocka, but Rocka evaded that beast, and then the beast got shocked by an electric bolt in the cavern when it got near the bolt along the way. The Tunneler Beast that took Surge brought him to the queen, who imprisoned him in a cocoon. All of the Jumpers were eventually recalled by the queen, ending the invasion. After the Jumpers' nest was destroyed, it is unknown if the Tunneler Beasts had been killed by the incident or escaped to other places to save themselves.^{[Episode 11]}
