Wheel Gator

Wheel Gator, known in Japan as Wheel Alligates (ホイール・アリゲイツ), is a Maverick in Mega Man X2 modeled after an alligator. He was an officer serving in the Maverick Hunters' 6th Naval Unit along with Bubble Crab (the two did not get along). Gator was later discharged, hunted as a Maverick and a traitor after viciously attacking a fellow Hunter. To satisfy his destructive impulses, he joined Sigma's army and was given control of a massive dinosaur-modeled tank, which he tried to use to raze an entire city.

Strategy
Wheel Gator is confronted in a room flooded with some sort of sludge (perhaps oil). He'll throw his Spin Wheel at X, which can also climb up walls. It is recommended to stay on the walls unless X is chased by the wheels as, if he stays in the sludge, Wheel Gator can grab him in his jaws and chomp him, causing serious damage. Gator's weakness is Strike Chain, which can really put a dent in his power. However, using Strike Chain will always cause him to dive into the sludge after getting hit, making the battle last longer than just using the buster, though if the player is quick enough, he can be hit more than once before diving back under. Strangely, He is also vulnerable to Bubble Splash (If it's not charged), despite Bubble Crab's weakness to Spin Wheel.

In Mega Man Xtreme, he is weak to Magnet Mine.
