Panter Flauclaws

Panter Flauclaws (パンター・フラクロス) is a boss from Mega Man Zero 2. Panter is based on a panther and serves Harpuia. Zero was sent by Elpizo to rob the goods from a Neo Arcadian train, and fights against Panter between two trains. He mainly uses electrical attacks and is extremely versatile. Many of his attacks can be dodged by wall sliding down the middle of the two trains but there is the possibility of being crushed when the two trains move close together. After his defeat, Zero receives the Thunder Chip, and if the player has rank A or S, the EX skill Spark Shot. He also first appeared in the Japanese commercial for Mega Man Zero 2, where he pins Zero against a wall and prepares to destroy the Resistance members, but Zero knocks him away with his transformation into the Energy form.
