Aztec Falcon

Aztec Falcon, known as Aztefalcon (アステファルコン) in Japan, is the second boss of Mega Man Zero. Aztec Falcon is a Mutos Reploid based on a falcon, and is a member of Sage Harpuia's Rekku Army. He also appeared in the beginning of Mega Man Zero 2 as a transport for Harpuia and in Harpuia's mini-game in Mega Man Zero 3.

In Mega Man Zero, he is the boss of the second mission. He was sent by Harpuia to the Disposal Center to dispose of the "Mavericks" there, and thought that Zero was one of them. Zero was on a mission to save the captured Reploids, and defeat Aztec Falcon.

Strategy
His arms are two big lightning rods, from which he shoots lightning arrows and, at A or S rank, he electrifies the floor with his EX skill. He can also open his arm, which then acts as a magnet and drags Zero towards him. This boss also has a time limit to defeat him before the captive Reploids are killed by the compressor.

Defeating Aztec Falcon in Mega Man Zero earns Zero the Thunder Chip.
