Tornado Fang

Tornado Fang (トルネードファング) is the Special Weapon that X obtains from Tunnel Rhino in Mega Man X3. Its uncharged form is a drill-shaped missile which delays for a moment before firing forward. Several drills can be launched in a spread pattern by tapping the fire button rapidly. Tornado Fang can also be used on certain walls to uncover hidden passages. When fully charged, the X-Buster gains a drill tip that will remain until the user releases the fire button. If X tries to climb a wall with this weapon charged, the drill will stick into the wall, holding X in place until the player lets go or when all the Weapon Energy is depleted.

This weapon is particularly strong against Volt Catfish, Byte and Press Disposer.

Trivia

 * In the official art of Mega Man X using Tornado Fang, his armor is depicted as being blue-and-ivory; in Mega Man X3 however, the color scheme for his sprite is turquoise-and-tan, possibly to differentiate itself from X's standard color scheme.
