Popla Cocapetri

Popla Cocapetri (プープラ・コカペトリ) is one of the Einherjar Eight Warriors in Mega Man Zero 4. Cocapetri is based on the cockatrice, and is specialized in internal tech warfare, including software hacking and communications interference. He is equipped with weaponry that allows him to backdoor computer systems and interact directly with main coding; one favorite method of his matching his cockatrice motif is that he is able to exploit a failsafe protocol through laser etching inscriptions onto a reploid's optical units, that subconsciously activates a manufacturer built in self-containment sequence and override virus that takes over the CPU of the victim, deactivating them as if they were stone. As such, he loves fighting by making foes helpless and using attacks that forces his foes to stay in place. The battle takes place in a room with floors moving up and down, making it more difficult to dodge his attacks. He occupies the ruins of a city with a security system and has taken full control over it, authorizing its directives to detect and destroy any Reploid or human that enters it. He had a grudge against Zero due to Zero insulting him on several occasions.

Cocapetri is first seen after Zero defeats Carnage Force 0, questioning the Ragnarok plan to destroy Area Zero, but goes along with it since it's Dr. Weil's orders. He expresses confusion at the legendary Maverick Hunter's appearance, but becomes angry when Zero says he missed a grunt. He almost fights Zero, but is interrupted by Fenri Lunaedge's howl, who doesn't want him to spoil the fun. He tells Sol Titanion to be quiet, only to be shut up by Pegasolta Eclair, who berates him for not being back on time. When Craft introduces himself and tells the Ragnarok plan, Cocapetri sneers that when Area Zero's destoryed, no one will escape Dr. Weil and just go about their business.

Mega Man Zero: The Official Complete Works
A Reploid specializing in Electronic Combat, he is very adept at jamming sensors, hacking, and the like. He had lots to do before the implementation of hacker-type Cyber-elves, but lost his job as the use of elves became more popular. In his anger, he willingly joined Weil's side. He is stubborn and short-tempered, and hates it when others tease him about his small size. He has three lenses: one on his torso, and one on each wing, but none of these lenses are visible when he has his wings folded.
