Burn Rooster

Burn Rooster, known as Burn Kokekokker (バーン・コケコッカー) in Japan, is a Reploid from Mega Man X8 based on a rooster. He has high resistance to heat and works on a borderland waste disposal center that harnesses the heat of a volcano to incinerate garbage. He refers to the disposal center as a Reploid graveyard, and unhappy with his work, he became a Maverick and caused an uprising in the disposal center. When the Maverick Hunters first encounter him, he's kicking part of the room (this might be what causes the lava rising after his defeat). He wants revenge for all the Reploids that were labelled Maverick and were scrapped in the name of justice. Therefore he's willing to pay the price of being used by Sigma, as implied in the dialogue between him and X.

After Burn Rooster's defeat, the place begins to flood with lava. In order to finish the level, the player must beat the "flood" on a race to the top, and grab the large Metal there (the kind of Metal that is usually obtained by defeating bosses in Mega Man X8).

Attacks
He shoots out his Melt Creeper and Flame Burner at the player. He also will fly through the air and use his version of the Enkoujin, the Enkoukyaku. If he hits a wall with this technique, he will be reflected until he hits the ground. After a good portion of his health is down, he'll return to the background for a brief moment and cause the floors to move up and down. In Overdrive, he'll make two flames that'll stay in the walls, and resume normal attacks. He's weak to ice, so hit him with the weapons obtained from Avalanche Yeti.

Trivia

 * Burn Rooster's weakness is unique (a fire-type weak against an ice-type weapon). He shares this weakness with only two other Robot Masters from the original series: Fire Man and Burner Man.
 * The above fact may have to do with the fact that they have fire comming out of their heads (when it is put out, it weakens them). this can be supported by the fact that Magmaman has fire comming out of his head and is weakened when it is put out (however this is done with a wind weapon as there is no ice weapon in Megaman 9).
 * The Inferno disposal center is situated in South America, possibly in Argentina.
 * Although his kick attack is actually the Enkoukyaku, he yells "Enkoujin!" when he performs this attack.
 * When Zero is equipped with the K Knuckle, his Enkoukyaku is the same as Burn Rooster's, except of the wall-hitting part.
 * It is intresting to note that when hit with the weapons gained from Gigabolt Man-o-War, He powers up considerably.
