Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Makonoids are mutants held in containment units inside of the Nibel Reactor. Cloud Strife, Zack Fair and Sephiroth encounter the containment units while investigating the Mako Reactor during what would later become known as the Nibelheim Incident. They discover Professor Hojo's experiments have transformed humans into makonoids. The machines the makonoids are inside of are designed to condense Mako energy into Materia, but Hojo has modified them to instead expose a human to the condensed Mako energy, mutating them.

Sephiroth begins to believe he was created by the same method as the makonoids, leaving him unsettled. Sephiroth begins reading books in the Shinra Mansion basement, triggering his insanity. He declares he is going to see "Mother", destroys Nibelheim, and heads for the Nibel Reactor where Jenova is being held.

Makonoids are encountered in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- as part of the Genesis army. The Crisis Core Complete Guide[1] reveals they were created by the research of Genesis's group in the Banora Underground. Graffiti found in the holding cells tells who they were before they were transformed.

Spoilers end here.
