Volt Kraken

Squid Adler (Bolt Kraken) was a retired Maverick Hunter before being affected by the Sigma Virus and turned into a Maverick during the events that took place in Mega Man X5. Depending on the version of the game (original or translated) he was either a friend or brother of Octopardo (Launch Octopus). He holds the Energy Cart for the Enigma Laser. Squid will not only send electrical bolts but will also send blocks (some of which have electrical traps), and, when his health is at a low enough level, will extend is tentacles to send a barrage of bolts. Goo Shaver and F-Splasher will short circuit Squid.
