Crescent Grizzly

Grizzly Slash (Crescent Grizzly in Japan) is a grizzly bear Maverick from Mega Man X5. He is a weapons dealer that dwells weapons in his secret warehouse, and he has a Crystal Ball, a part necessary to the laser Enigma. Through he sells weapons, he don't likes violence, and when the player fights against him with Zero, he shows that he hates him because of unknown past events with him, saying to Zero that "seeing you re-opens old wounds...", which Zero responds "you should have that looked after.". When the Maverick Hunters reached his warehouse to take the Crystal Ball, he was infected by the Sigma Virus and was starting to become a Maverick, wanting to die in a fight before he turns into a Maverick.

He attacks throwing three small crescent attacks from his clawed hand and jumping, and when 1/3 of his energy ends he will dig, appearing by times to attack using his hand as a drill when appearing from the floor, slashing when appearing from walls, or falling into enemies from the ceiling. After 2/3 of his energy ends he will stop digging and will use giant crescent attacks. Some walkthroughs recommend defeating him first. But if the player need to fight against him with a special weapon or in the rematch against him in the final stages, use Spike Ball (with X) or Twin Dream (with Zero).

Fun facts
Grizzly Slash's English name was based on Saul Hudson's nickname, "Slash", the guitarist of the rock band Guns 'n Roses.
