* CreepyChild: Colonel [=McDougal=] doesn't look much more than 6-10 years old. He's also an EvilAlbino with heterochromia, a sadistic killer who can slaughter people just be thinking about it, and who plans to [[spoiler: wipe out all human life and repopulate the world with creatures of his own devising]] by seizing the power of Noah's Ark.

Ancient artifacts that predate mankind have been uncovered in locations all around the world near the end of the Cold War. These artifacts are made from materials previously unknown to modern humans, and were clearly designed by a civilization far more technologically advanced than our own. An organization called ARCAM has been formed to study these sites and uncover the true nature of what lies within them. One of the messages inscribed in a message plate mentioned that if one of their inventions cannot be used for good, then it should be destroyed at all costs. A unit of elite agents trained to protect the ARCAM scientists and the artifacts, known as Out-of-Place Artifacts ("[=OOPArts=]"), are known as "Spriggan".

One such Spriggan is a 16 year-old Japanese high school student by the name of Yu Ominae. He began his ARCAM Spriggan duty after an old friend of his was being hunted down by the Soviet and American militaries in the hope of using an [=OOPArt=] located in the Mt. Fuji region of Japan known as the Orb, an artifact that can control flaming snakes from the volcanic depths of the Earth. As he and the other Spriggans battle things out with militaries, criminals and mercenaries to prevent [=OOPArts=] from being secured as military weapons, something is brewing from within the ranks of the ARCAM Corporation that will ultimately determine the fate of the entire world.

An anime film was directed by Hirotsugu Kawasaki and produced by Studio 4°C, adapting the Noah's Ark chapter with the same title written by Hiroshi Takashige. The film was originally released in Japan by Toho, and later received a North American release in 2002 by Creator/ADVFilms.
