Pseudoroids debuted in Mega Man ZX. The game's eight Pseudoroid bosses are executive officers of Slither Inc., being intensely loyal to Serpent and working to advance Project Haven. Their exact origins are unclear; Fistleo the Predatoroid and Purprill the Mandroid both mention having lives before meeting Serpent and being given elemental Biometal powers by him.Mega Man ZX. 2006. Fistleo defeated by Aile. Fistleo: "How could this happen!? I was transformed into a Pseudoroid... I was supposed to have the power of a god... But I was beaten by a little girl!"Mega Man ZX. 2006. Purprill battle with Vent. Purprill: "Ten years ago, I was just another Maverick going wild in this place when Lord Serpent took notice of my talent. Now I'm one of his executive officers! Ook! Ook! It's incredible!"
Each Pseudoroid stores a fragment from one of the game's four Biometal — Model H, Model L, Model F, or Model P — and defeating each one lets the player take their Biometal to use for themselves.

They have a leader, Bifrost the Crocoroid, who reports directly to Albert.(Archived) Rockman ZX Series Official Blog. Capcom Japan. 2007. (http://www.capcom-fc.com/rockman_zx/) These Pseudoroids each contain a fragment of Model W, granting them elemental abilities.Mega Man ZX Advent. 2007. Database, B10 Buckfire: "This Model W equipped highly aggressive Pseudoroid specializes in blitz tactics. Biometal output is used to superheat the blades on his arms and head." After defeating each one, Model A copies their DNA data and can mimic their forms at will.
Several s at Hunter's Camp imply that Pseudoroids are naturally created by Model W itself. Carley says that some Hunters hunt powerful Pseudoroids to test their abilities,Mega Man ZX Advent. 2007. Carley: "I'm sure you've heard this before. Hunters hunt Pseudoroids to test their skills." and Ward says that Pseudoroids can be created and/or resurrected by Model W.Mega Man ZX Advent. 2007. Ward: "The Pseudoroid resurgence continues, it seems. It could be Model W causing it..."
