Spheroid

Spheroid or Sphereroid (スフィアロイド) is a Reploid in Mega Man X8 with a spherical chest and retractable spring-like limbs found in Bamboo Pandamonium's stage, Booster Forest. They can compress themselves into a small sphere to attack with a rolling dash. When in their upright form, they stand their ground and attack with punches. Axl can copy their DNA to transform into a Spheroid, allowing him travel down narrow passageways in ball form to reach previously inaccessible areas.

If powered up by a MAME-Q, Spheroids receive a 1.5X speed increase.
