The EVAs.

            Evangelions are artificial beings created as versatile weapons
            against  Angels.  They are said to lack "souls" which are
            supplied by pilots who sit in "Entry plugs" situated in the
            EVAs' backbones.  A pilot needs to synchronise with an EVA
            in order to pilot it.  The EVAs' origin is part of the main
            plot of the series.

             (EVA-05 -      some design change from older EVAs.
             EVA-13)

            1.4) The Angels.

            If Unit One is credited with a kill, that means that it was
            not under Shinji's control at the time. People who are
            credited with an assist, that means they made significant
            progress toward defeating the angel.
