Pseudoroid

The Pseudoroids (Falseroids in Japan) are the bosses in the Mega Man ZX (series) series. They are called False/Pseudoroids because they draw power from Biometals (Live Metals), not having a strength of their own. The Pseudoroids in the first game are part of Slither Inc., led by the corrupted Serpent. Each of the eight takes control of an operation in one of the Outer Areas.

Hivolt the Raptoroid
Voice Seiyuu: Kousuke Itou Guardian of Area E, a Slither Inc. power plant (which was abandoned following a Maverick attack), this eagle-based Reploid uses a fragment of Biometal Model H inside his wings, gaining the power to use Thunder-type attack techniques. His legs can detach from his body, to attack remotely with blasts of energy, and can use his wings to guard and perform slashing combos. He can also fire a series of lasers which bounce around the area.



Lurerre the Abysroid
Voice Seiyuu: Kiyomi Asai Guardian of Area F, a frozen lake area, this angler fish-based contains inside her lure, a fragment of the Model L Biometal, granting her powers of Ice-type attacks. As she is based upon an angler-fish, first appearances can be deceiving to some. Her lure is able to fire freezing energy beams, or shards of ice, and Lurerre's true body can create whirlpools, bite and fire large torpedo projectiles. She was charged by Serpent, along with Leganchor, to keep the Serpent Report (a document detailing Serpent's intentions) a secret.



Fistleo the Predatoroid
Voice Seiyuu: Takashi Matsuyama Guardian of the burning city that he set on fire, Area G, Fistleo, a lion-based Reploid, has a fragment of the Model F Biometal inside of his head, gaining Flame powers. Serpent gave him a duty to cause as much trouble as possible to lure out and destroy those who oppose him, gaining their Biometals, all mainly because of his disconcern for the weak, and his possessiveness. He can attack with balls of energy that follow their target, and various flame melee attacks such as flaming dashes and air dashes. Curiously, he can use the power provided to him by Model F to heal himself.



Purprill the Mandroid
Voice Seiyuu: Wataru Takagi Guardian of Area H, an old theme park abandoned after a Maverick attack, Purprill(a mandrill-based Reploid)'s arms contain a Model P fragment. His mission as assigned by Serpent is to deter intruders from the Area L laboratory, while Protectos the Goreroid obtained the data regarding Model W inside it. Purprill can extend his arms similar to grappling hooks, and can form into a giant shuriken, using this shuriken formation to fly across the room. He also professes very high acrobatic skill, being able to climb, and contorting into the previously mentioned shuriken form. Purprill was revealed to be the one that led the Mavericks that killed Vent/Aile's parents.



Hurricaune the Wolveroid
Voice Seiyuu: Hisayo Yanai Guardian of Area I, a warehouse that experiences outages of electricity, Hurricaune is a Reploid based on a wolverine. A fragment of Biometal Model H is imbedded inside her neck, granting her power over Thunder. Serpent used Hurricaune to harvest Cyber Elves from the killing of humans, embedding into them fear before they met their demise. Attacks Hurricaune can perform include releasing shockwaves from her neck, wrists, waist and ankles; and strong gusts of wind that can tip opponents.



Leganchor the Gelroid
Voice Seiyuu: Osamu Tatsuya Guardian of the underwater city, Area J, Leganchor is based upon that of a jellyfish. A shard of the Model L Biometal is present in Leganchor's turbines. He and Lurerre was assigned by Serpent to keep the Serpent Report (a document detailing Serpent's intentions) a secret. Leganchor can attack with icicle dragons, rippling waves, and harpoons. With the Ice power granted by Model L, he can freeze opponents by touch.



Flammole the Moleroid
Voice Seiyuu: Kouhei Fukuhara Guardian of Area K, a hot springs outside a cavern of lava, Flammole was granted the power of flames by the fragment of the Model F Biometal, inside his arms. His arm, resembling cannons, can be used as both drill and flame-throwers. Flammole was assigned by Serpent to dig into the volcano to make it erupt, and unearth a Biometal.



Protectos the Goreroid
Voice Seiyuu: Keikou Sakai Guardian of Area L, a forgotten laboratory, Protectos is based upon a rhinoceros. Under his armor, is a fragment of the Model P Biometal, providing him considerable strength. Serpent gave him a mission to recover some data from the laboratory, concerning the Model W (Model V) Biometal. Protectos can attack with a range of missiles, bombs and other explosives, and possesses a very strong defense, due to his very thick armor. This armor, although strong and able to withstand large explosions, is very weak in the head and stomach areas.



Deerburn Buckfire (Diaburn the Gazelroid)
