Spark Mandrill

Spark Mandrill, known in Japan as Spark Mandriller (スパーク・マンドリラー), is a mandrill-type Maverick from Mega Man X. He was a Maverick Hunter that served in the 17th Elite, which was under Sigma's command. Under the virus, he 'logically' decided to follow Sigma. He wasn't aware of the Virus's influence.

As his name implies, he has an Electric weapon, known as Electric Spark. Mandrill's weakness is the Shotgun Ice or Homing Torpedo; in fact, it can freeze Mandrill, forcing a repeat of his action cycle. This quality makes Mandrill an infamously easy Maverick to defeat, as players can simply freeze him, wait, and repeat.

Other media

 * Spark Mandrill appeared with Vile in the "Mega X" episode from the Mega Man animated series. He only speaks three lines in the whole episode, so he doesn't get much personality. When he speaks, he uses a Russian accent. Like Vile, he's depicted as being more then a match for every robot in the present, with Mega Man being unable to even damage him. He was however, no match for Mega Man X.


 * Spark Mandrill also appears in the Rockman X manga, where he is the second Maverick fought by X, and Sigma used a holographic machine to kill him after his defeat.


 * In the carddas Mega Mission 2, he is revived as "Spark Mandriller L". He is now dark blue with black, red and yellow details, his shoulders has drills instead of lights, and he has spikes in the back of his hands, which seens to have joints to move to the front of the hand.



Trivia
