Hyleg Ourobockle

Hyleg Ourobockle (ヒューレッグ・ウロボックル) is one of the bosses of Mega Man Zero 2. Ourobockle is a Mutos Reploid based on the Ouroboros snake, and was a member of Phantom's Cutting Shadow Squadron. When Zero went to the Forest of Dysis, he fights against Hyleg atop a giant snake Mechaniloid called Altroid (アルトロイド), and recovers one of the Baby Elves after his defeat, prompting X to appear and warn Zero about the Baby Elves. During the mission, rescuing or not all five lost soldiers will influence the mission success and they can be visited on third floor of the New Resistance Base afterwards.

Trivia

 * Stuck-in-a-tree.png Hyleg and Altroid have a cameo appearance in the background of the Area A-2 forest area in Mega Man ZX.


 * Hyleg's name bears resemblances to both "Hydra" and "Ouroboros": Hydra being a many-headed, mythical snake creature, which upon getting one of its heads severed would grow two in its place; and Ouroboros being a symbol of a serpent devouring its own tail, creating a circle, which represents the cycle of life. Also, the word Hyleg in Hellenistic astrology, is the Persian-Arabic term for the planet with the greatest essential dignity. Hyleg, also originates from the Middle Persian word "hîlâk", which means "nativity".


 * Hyleg Ourobockle is referenced by Zero in the audio track "Alouette's Good Day" when he describes the Reploid who had the Baby Elf during one of his missions in Mega Man Zero 2 to Alouette.


 * It resembles SnakeMan.EXE, from Mega Man Battle Network 2. Both characters bodies are their neck and the arms are attached to their head. However, Hyleg has legs, and SnakeMan floats in a jar.
