Enhanced Animal Intelligence

Across the galaxy there have been several enhancements to animal intelligence. Each of these enhancements is unique and was usually for a brutal and barbaric scientific experiment. After nine animals were made the cleverest nine in the whole of space they created the Association of Intelligent Animals (AIA).

Cyber
At a young age Cyber had the Yocto Chip stored inside his brain. It surpassed the quality of chips placed inside his team mates Gravity and Juggernaut's. He worked faster than a quantum computer easily creating a working space ship in an hour.

Curious
Curious was subjected to the X12 Vaccine while aboard Professor John Blake's spaceship the Starling Enterprise. Curious is easily the smartest creature in the galaxy except for the Brain. Due to his amazing intelligence Curious is one of the founding members of the Association of Intelligent Animals.

Orca
In the Ocean City aquarium there was a top secret project that was working on EAI.

Ant Colony
The Ant Colony was also subjected to the X12. Billions of ants were infected and made ultra smart so they could create nano tech. Most of the female worker ants that were infected died immediately while the ants that lived inside the colony survived and became smart. Despite millions of ants dying from the expanding brains there were still thousands to fight against Curious.
