Crimson Dragon

The Crimson Dragon is the final boss of Shooting Star Rockman 3, and the embodiment of the core of Meteor G. At the end of the Meteor server, MegaMan finds the core of the Meteor, and Mr. King fuses with the core, forming the Crimson Dragon. It then absorbs Kelvin Stelar, and Mr. King plans to use its power to destroy the world. MegaMan then fights the Crimson Dragon and defeats it, ejecting Mr. King. The Dragon still can exist, thanks to Kelvin's strength. The Dragon goes rampant, unleashes a desperation attack, knocking MegaMan out cold due to the sheer level of noise.

While blacked out, Shidō Akatsuki appears, and tells MegaMan not to give up, and stand up once more, for he is their hero. MegaMan then gets up, enters his Finalized Noise (varies with version), and fights the Crimson Dragon a second time, destroying it and Meteor G with his for good, releasing Kelvin in the process.

The Crimson Dragon is fought twice in the game, with its first form sporting 2500 HP, and its later form sporting 8000 HP in a fixed fight. After the player collects all five stars, the Crimson Dragon reaches its SP form, sporting 4500 HP, stronger attacks, and heads that can absorb more damage. The later form, fought in the fixed fight, remains unchanged, though still retaining the strength of the dragon's current form.

During the fight, Area Eater and the likes will have no effect. The Dragon has the following abilities:
 * Its weak spot is the core, which is being blocked by its head. Damaging its head enough will cause its head to phase into two heads, and exposing the core. The individual heads can be damaged and destroyed, but they will regenerate.
 * Its head(s) will snap at the player if he steps in front of it. The attack cannot be blocked.
 * It summons several missiles that will travel down the columns. The missiles can be destroyed. Different missiles are imbued with elements.
 * It slashes different panels using its claws. Sometimes, it materializes its original head when doing so, and the head will not phase out until that attack is finished, even if enough damage is dealt.
 * The Dragon's head(s) will fire a 3-panel wide rush of noise, capable of removing Barriers and Auras. It cannot be dodged if the Dragon's main head uses it.
 * The Dragon launches several miniature copies of its heads at the player's row.
 * Meteor of Crimson :  The Dragon's heads alternate in firing flames that engulf a wide area, including the entire player's row. Used only by the SP version.

In the second fight, you begin immediately in your Finalized Noise, with your HP carried over from what was left in the first fight. After 3 turns, you will draw into your Finalized Noise Force Big Bang - this will destroy the Dragon, regardless of how much HP is left.
