A prototype design for the GN-X. Though not mass produced, it was used for military training for pilots for its ease of use. Its name, "Varanus" is derived from the Arabic word waral ورل, which is translated to English as "monitor".

Armaments
GN Long Barrel Beam Rifle
An optional weapon that can be equipped in place of the standard beam rifle. Possibly serves a purpose similar to the Dynames's GN Sniper Rifle.
GN Beam Saber
A pair of GN beam sabers mounted on the shoulders.
GN Chain Gun
GN Defense Rod
The original GN-X had a GN Defense Rod that would unfold from its shield. This was enlarged and installed on the shoulder for the Advanced GN-X. If the pilot requested or a mission objective required it, the defense rod could be replaced with other equipment, such as a GN Launcher.
GN Shield
Designed by combining the Gundams' GN Field technology with the older Defense Rod technology, these shields are capable of creating a micro GN Field for defense. A useful trait for the limited capabilities of the GN-X's GN Drive Taus.
History
Alejandro invited Ms. Deborah to a secret establishment, requesting her to be the test pilot of the Throne Varanus. As a matter of fact, Alejandro himself was a member of CB, but for the purpose of his own righteousness in betraying the organization, he acknowledged the preparation of opposing machines like the Throne Varanus. Throne Varanus is the prototype for the throne gundams.
