Flame Stag

Flame Stag, known in Japan as Flame Stagger (フレイム・スタッガー), is a Maverick in Mega Man X2 based off a deer. Once serving as a member of the Maverick Hunters 17th Elite Unit, he followed along with Boomer Kuwanger to join Sigma's first rebellion. Afterwards, his whereabouts became unknown, but later resurfaced occupying an active volcano with the intent of triggering an eruption that would block out the sun with volcanic ash.

Mega Man X2
Flame Stag leaps about in his chamber (which, together with Morph Moth's post-metamorphosis boss room, is perhaps the first boss room that is larger vertically than horizontally), trying to charge into you and throwing fireballs from his Speed Burner. Being a Fire Maverick, he's naturally weak against water, so use Bubble Splash if you have it. In fact, with proper use and timing, you can trap him in a sort of pattern.

Trivia

 * In the official art, Flame Stag's flames are red. In Mega Man X2, however, his flames are blue in both his intro pose and when fighting against him the second time. The only instance where they are red is in both his mugshot in the stage select screen and the majority of the battle in his boss room before his health gets low.
 * In his official art, Stag's armor is also a deep blue. With the exception of his mugshot, however, it's black in his in-game sprites.
 * In Mega Man Xtreme, he replaces Flame Mammoth in the respect that he is a Fire Maverick that falls to Storm Tornado.
 * He also appears in the Boss Attack mode from Mega Man Xtreme 2.
