Flame Hyenard

"Oh, it's YOU that's causing my suffering! Then if I tear you to pieces, the pain will stop!"

- Flame Hyenard

Flame Hyenard (フレイム・ハイエナード) is a hyena-type Reploid from Mega Man X7 that became Maverick. His domain is the Lava Factory. It's implied by dialogue that the reason why he fought X, Zero and Axl was out of the belief that they were the ones responsible for his illness and suffering, most likely caused by being infected with the Sigma Virus.

Strategy
Hyenard creates two copies of himself that go after the Maverick Hunters while the original stays in the head of a giant gazelle-type Mechaniloid moving in the lava around the area and launches guided missiles. The Hunters must climb the Mechaniloid to fight against Hyenard. The Mechaniloid can be stopped by a short period time of time by hitting the joints of its legs, and it will stop launching missiles if both horns are destroyed. Hyenard attacks with fireballs. When the Hunters are in the center of the Mechaniloid, Hyenard summons his two copies to surround the Hunters and attack at the same time. He is weak to Splash Laser and Suiretsusen.

Zero: So you're that Hyenard. You've been diagnosed with a malfunction. You must come with me.

Flame Hyenard: Oh, it's YOU that's causing my suffering! Then if I tear you to pieces, the pain will stop!

Trivia

 * Flame Hyenard is given the distinction, by most fans, of being the most annoying boss in any Mega Man game, as during the fight against him, he and his clones have a tendency to scream "BURN!" and "BURN TO THE GROUND!" continuously throughout the battle.
