- Depth Dragoon

Depth Dragoon is a Maverick Hunter belonging to the Far Eastern command base under Colonel Redips. He has a rather strange appearance of an armored knight sitting atop a fish-like lower body that appears to be based on a ribbonfish, and his helmet has hints of a seadragon. While encountered on dry land, it would appear Depth Dragoon can hover weightlessly, perhaps in a manner similar to Ferham's magnetic or gravity flight. In battle, Depth Dragoon can increase his own parameters (stats) similar to the way the player can with boost items; this increases his difficulty greatly and should be avoided if possible. Given his stationing in the Far East HQ, it is possible Depth Dragoon was a hunter of an A or S rank. It is also possible to steal Steel Massimo's best weapon, Beast Lancer, from him. Personality-wise, he seems to be quite confident in himself as a dispenser of justice, based on comments such as "The guilty shall be punished!" in his encounter with the party.

When encountered by X
Depth Dragoon: Oh! Yes, I see... I suppose traitors always travel in packs? First, you fail to steal the Supra-Force Metal... I thought Colonel Redips finished you off... What are you doing here?!

X: Move aside. Our business is with Redips. We're not interested in wasting our time with small fires like you!

Depth Dragoon: Well, even if you don't want to fight, I do! Stories of you Class S Hunters have always fascinated me... Now let's see if you live up to your name!
