Einherjar Eight Warriors

The Einherjar Eight Warriors (アインヘルヤル八闘士) are a group of Mutos Reploids that replace the Eight Gentle Judges in Mega Man Zero 4. Its members include Sol Titanion, Heat Genblem, Popla Cocapetri, Pegasolta Eclair, Mino Magnus, Noble Mandrago, Tech Kraken, and Fenri Lunaedge. They are commanded by Craft, and they were tasked by Doctor Weil to destroy Area Zero. Unknown to Zero, Ciel, the Resistance, and the Settlement, the Einherjar Eight Warriors are simply a distraction being used by Dr. Weil in order for him to complete Ragnarok. Once the Eight Warriors are defeated, Weil reveals this horrifing news to Zero and all the others at the Settlement, forcing Zero to travel to Ragnarok to stop Weil. But, Craft arrives and destroys the main core of Ragnarok, and recalibrates the targeting mechanism so that Ragnarok is aimed directly at Neo Arcadia, and Dr. Weil. Craft manages to fire before Zero can stop him, and Neo Arcadia is obliterated by the might of Ragnarok. Luckily, Colbor Team of the Resistance was able to evacuate most of the residents of Neo Arcadia, except for the area around where Weil was located.

Trivia

 * In Norse mythology, the einherjar are those that have died in battle and are brought to Valhalla by valkyries. They prepare daily for the events of Ragnarök, when they will advance for an immense battle.
