=== Mega Man X6 ===
Rainy Turtloid debuted in Mega Man X6 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He serves as the boss of the Inami Temple, observing the Nightmare Rain. He was built by Gate for water purity research, equipped with outrageous defensive power to protect against the pollution and acid rain in his field of work. His body was so powerful that it concerned his colleagues, but Gate denied their requests to weaken him, and he was punished for it. Riddled with guilt, Turtloid eventually took his own life to spare Gate the shame. However, he was later resurrected by Gate to serve as a Nightmare Investigator.Boss info, Mega Man X6. 2001.
In battle, Rainy Turtloid attacks with missiles and rolls around the stage in his bladed shell, and can only be harmed once his two weakpoints are destroyed. Defeating Turtloid grants Meteor Rain to X and Ensuizan to Zero. His weakness is the Ice Burst or Hyoroga from Blizzard Wolfang; however, the latter cannot actually hit him, rendering it useless. A boss attack rematch with Rainy Turtloid later occurs in the ?????? stage.
