Frozen Buffalio (Rockman X Manga Series)

Frozen Buffalio is a character from the game Rockman X3 who was featured as a boss. While absent in the game version of Rockman X4, he is featured as a protagonistic character for the manga release.
==Description==
Just like in the games, Frozen Buffalio is a large, beefy Repliroid based on a bison, with pentadactyl hands and a bison-esque head and hooved feet. He wears a red loincloth.
==History==
In the Rockman X3 manga, Frozen retains his status as a boss who has to be beaten. Rockman X had been fighting him, but had been overpowered. However, the Hunter is saved just before he could get skewered when a boy named Toshihiko throws himself in front of Frozen, causing the latter to storm off in agony. X tries to shoot Frozen with his Buster, but Toshihiko stops the Hunter by taking him to a smiling snowman. Toshihiko explains that he tried to make the snowman alone, but did not like the snowman's expression, being reminded that he was alone unlike other kids. Toshihiko was just about to destroy his snowman when Frozen stopped him, carving a smile on the snowman's face. Toshihiko became the anthropomorphic buffalo robot's friend since then until Frozen began his rampage. Toshihiko never lost faith in his friend, however. X faces Frozen in an evacuation shelter, and Frozen reverts back to his regular self when his horns are destroyed. Realising what he had done, Frozen begs to die at X's hands as he feels like he is unable to atone, but X just tears down a wall with his Charge Shot, exposing a bunch of snowmen that Toshihiko had been making so he could reach out to his friends heart the way the Repliroid had done for him earlier. The two become friends again after the chapter as X states that Repliroids can indeed understand Hominēs Sapientēs because they have hearts like the latter.
Frozen is later examined alongside Explose Horneck, Shining Tigerd, and Screw Masaider by Doctor Cain, revealing that his body was violated by Wāmutachi (singular Wāmu), centipede-like devices that can cause Repliroids to turn into Irregulars. He, Explose, Shining, Screw, X, and Zero team up the first time the latter two fight against Vajirula FF and Mandarela BB. When X and Zero fight against the Nightmare Police the second time, Frozen, Explose, Shining, Screw, and Electro Nazamuros fetch the Power Up Parts which they give to Doctor Cain and a merfolk repliroid named Māti, who send the parts to the battlefield so X can get them.
In the Rockman X4 manga, Frozen and X team up against Frost Kibatodos, but X falls in battle, so Frozen faces Frost on his own. By the time X comes to, he is horrified to see that while X himself is safe, Frost had killed Frozen, having impaled him with a Frost Tower. Doctor Cain's team later retrieves the corpse, which is completely frozen by the Frost Tower by the time they arrive.
