Pseudoroid

Pseudoroids, known as Falseroid (フォルスロイド) in Japan, are the sixteen bosses in the Mega Man ZX series. They are called Pseudoroids because they draw power from Biometals, not having a strength of their own.
==Characteristics==
Pseudoroids are physically similar to the Mutos Reploids of the Mega Man Zero series. Instead of a human appearance, Pseudoroids resemble mechanical animals (or plants) with humanoid traits. Despite this, Pseudoroids are unique for the fact that Biometals (or fragments thereof) are used in their construction. Certain lines from a few Pseudoroids suggest that at least some of them were not actually born as Pseudoroids, although their actual origins were never revealed.
Since Pseudoroids draw power from the Biometals by force, they are considered "artificial Mega Men" and not legitimate players in the Game of Destiny (which is the reason for the "Pseudoroid" label). Although the Biometal does not influence a Pseudoroid's personality, the two are deeply connected, to the point that any damage to a Pseudoroid's weak spots will result in damage to the Biometal itself. Each Pseudoroid has different weak points.
Pseudoroids are infamous for their seemingly miraculous ability to return to life after being destroyed, even without the Biometal they had been created with. It has been suggested that Model W may be responsible for their continuous revival. Pseudoroids revived in this manner act very much like beasts, as they simply attack without trying any sort of dialogue. Pseudoroids are frequent targets of the Hunter's Guild, which hunts them down for high bounties.
==History==
The first known Pseudoroids were created by Serpent, who split the data of Biometals Model H, Model F, Model L and Model P to create eight of them. These Pseudoroids are responsible for furthering Serpent's goals of terrorizing innocents and using their Cyber-elves to awaken Model W, as well as preventing the leak of any evidence which could damage Serpent's reputation of a national hero. These Pseudoroids are eventually defeated by the Mega Man Model ZX one by one, and all the Biometal fragments in their bodies are recovered. However, the same Pseudoroids are later resurrected for a rematch within the Slither Inc. head office to stop the main character from reaching Serpent. Although it is not explained how they could return without the Biometals, most of them claim that they will "become one with Model W" upon their second defeat, implying a connection.
The Pseudoroids return in Mega Man ZX Advent. The first one, Buckfire, leads an army of Mavericks to attack the Hunters' train containing Model A, and upon fighting the protagonist who had transformed with the Biometal, accuses the Biometal of making a mistake and attacks. However, he is defeated. During the game, it is revealed that Buckfire and the other Pseudoroids work for Master Albert and that they were created with Model W fragments as their power source. Although they are all defeated by the Mega Man Model A, they also return for a rematch later on inside Ouroboros, where Albert explains that he preserved the Pseudoroids' spirits and created new bodies for them. Although they try their hardest to stop the Model A Chosen One from progressing, they are once again defeated, this time for good.
==List of Pseudoroids==
===Mega Man ZX===
These Pseudoroids have four different levels for a victory depending on how many times their weak point gets hit during the battle, with Level 4 meaning the weak point was not hit and Level 1 meaning it was hit several times. This determines how damaged the Biometal is if this is the first fight against them. A Level 4 victory also makes a stuffed animal of the Pseudoroid appear hanging in Prairie's room. Interestingly enough, the first letter of each of the ZX Pseudoroids' names matches the letter of the Biometal fragment that each possesses.
*Hivolt the Raptoroid: It is based on an eagle (which many believed was based on a mixture between velociraptor and pterodactyl), we always feel cheated that he was a electric flying dinosaur, even Team Villalba!
*Lurerre the Abysroid: What is this pseudoroid based on? on a mix between lanternfish and mermaid! I think lanternfish because she is tied to a anglerfish, in addition to shining when she is critically beaten with the Model F's fire, and mermaid because she has no legs, like real fish! In an attempt to protect Marlin Perkins Wild High School by Team Villalba, Lurerre was used by the Team Villalba to protect the aquatic area of that animal high school, knowing full well that she could freeze anyone who harmed the students of that high school! She was protecting a frozen lake!
*Fistleo the Predatoroid: ERROR 404
*Purprill the Mandroid: A real baboon, not like Spark Mandrill which is based on a mandrill (which have no tail)! He once attacked an amusement park 10 years ago, he joined Team Rivper to attack the Team Villalba's HQ, hidden in an underground!
*Hurricaune the Wolveroid: She is based on a Kamaitachi, a yokai similar to a weasel! She can cause hurricanes and power outages! Use as a Team Rivper weapon to cause hurricanes and control them by satellite!
*Leganchor the Gelroid: He is based on a jellyfish with 4 tentacles (it is not known what kind of jellyfish he is)! Team Villalba seems to have been copied from Gigabolt Man-O-War, which is from Team Rivper (since both are based on a cnidaria)!
*Flammole the Moleroid: He is based on a mole, just like Blaze Heatnix, it can withstand the temperature of the Earth's crust and even he cannot melt with magma! He fortified the entrance to Team Villalba's HQ with lava!
*Protectos the Goreroid: North Korean-created rhino that can survive a nuclear blast, including normal and nuclear missiles! A walking weapon that was stolen by Team Rivper to easily attack Team Villalba , afraid to kill many innocent people! He protects the outskirts of the entrance to Team Rivper's HQ from intruders all day!
===Mega Man ZX Advent===
Unlike the Pseudoroids from Mega Man ZX, who have half of the Biometals of H, F, L, or P, these Pseudoroids have Biometal Ws inside them. Some of these Pseudoroids have a weak point, but it is not as pivotal as the previous game. Instead of four victory levels, there are now three Medals for each Pseudoroid to collect by beating each Pseudoroid in certain ways. They are Gold, Silver, and Bronze, with Gold usually being the trickiest to obtain. It's also implied that the eight Pseudoroids may each be entire species, as the Hunter near the targeting range mentions that Hunters often hunt Pseudoroids as a form of training.
*Buckfire the Gaxelleroid: Similar to a gazelle with an American Indian look! This Pseudoroid meets Model A, when Model A says no! For Police Jesus, he was the most difficult Pseudoroid since his attacks lower a lot of life, nor the Giga Crush can be used many times without the infinite energy cheat!
*Chronoforce the Xiphosuroid: He is based on a horseshoe crab, it has a complex mechanism that can slow down time! It would have been of some use to Team Villalba to prevent the World War III's nuclear blast, but he has not existed before the war!
*Rospark the Floroid: He looks like a flower bud, if he climb a vine or pole, he blooms and he becomes a kind of basically unknown flower (the fact that he is named after a rose does not mean that he is based on a rose). Now he is no longer the only Pseudoroid plant for the existence of Eucalyptorch.
*Vulturon the Condoroid: Vulturon is a rock star who is based on a vulture, he is protected as a Team Rivper's celebrity! His show stage is a junkyard!
*Queenbee the Hymenopteroid: She is based on a wasp (despite having the name of a queen bee)! She has no legs, but a giant hive that she uses to attack! Unlike the other fire-based Pseudoroids that are weak to electricity, she is also weak to the fire itself, of course, it burns its hive and explodes causing physical damage to it! She belongs to Team Rivper. She was copied from Sol Titanion and Blast Hornet!
*Bifrost the Crocoroid: A monstrous giant crocodile working alongside Split Mushroom at the Bio Laboratory! Unlike ice-based Pseudoroids, this one is nothing like Lurrere, Leganchor, and Chronoforce! He belongs to Team Rivper, just like Wheel Gator!
*Hedgeshock the Erinaceroid: She was created by Dr. Eggman as a successor to Metal Sonic, trying to defeat the blue hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog with his electrical powers. She protects Eggman's lab from Sonic! She is based on the hedgehog, as Sonic and Shadow!
*Argoyle & Ugoyle the Shisaroids: It could be said that they are ghost twins that are based on the mythical Shisa! But they are both the same!
=== Mega Man ZX Vintage ===

* Tundrachnid the Diveroid: LOADING...
==Trivia==
*The Pseudoroids of Mega Man ZX were shown to incorporate the elemental attributes of their respective Biometals, and the first letter of their names matched the names of their Biometals. This is no longer the case with the Pseudoroids from Mega Man ZX Advent and Mega Man ZX Vintage.
*Rospark, Bifrost and Argoyle & Ugoyle are the only Pseudoroids not renamed in the English version of Mega Man ZX Advent.
