Team Villalba's Z-Group

Team Villalba's Z-Group is a 15 Mutos Reploids' group formed after the World War III. Some of these were revived, others are World War III's survivors.

## Mutos Reploids

### Aztec Falcon

   His mythological inspiration could be based on a falcon-headed Griffin, another mythological inspiration would be the Aztec god of lightning and death, Xolotl (thus his first name is "Aztec"). We know that he has nine lives (like cats) since he appeared in Mega Man Zero 2 as a transport for Harpuia and Mega Man Zero 3 in the Harpuia minigame, despite its apparent destruction.

A cheating device reveals that Aztec Falcon is weak to ice, his weakness probably because he is a bird that migrates to warm places and does not like the cold, in addition that the ice is wet and can damage any electronic device.

### Blazin' Flizard

   He is based on a frill-neck lizard. He administered a geothermal plant. He also has a human form like the other Eight Gentle Judges. Flizard had a bad relationship with Childre Inarabitta, being from the rival team, Team Rivper. Placing a reflective mirror shield around his neck and a probe in his tail

He is weak to electricity because electric shocks can kill a reptile, being a Mutos Reploid fire-based, I would say that a thunderstorm can put out fire by the rain it produces.

### Deathtanz Mantisk

   Despite being the existing Maverick's cheap copy, Dark Mantis. He is based on a praying mantis and grim reaper as he has a scythe-shaped blades, and was originally created for the sole purpose of execution, using his "Grim Reaper Scythes" to dispose of Reploids considered Mavericks by the Eight Gentle Judges.

Deathtanz says he doesn't like to take an unnecessary life and that the dullness of his scythes were proof of peace. However, after he was modified by Dr. Weil to be one of the Weil Numbers, he cares for nothing besides killing. He also has a habit of using the Japanese onomatopoeia, "chikachika", when irritated. He was sent by Dr. Weil to capture the Baby Elves.

"Chikachika" (ちかちか) is a onomatopoeic term commonly used in Japanese comics and graphic novels to describe or indicate the twitching/flickering of ones eyes. Apparently Mantisk has made a habit of saying this every time something annoys him enough to make his eye twitch.

He is weak to electricity because metal is a electricity's good conductor, in addition, being a mantis can die from electric shocks.

### Hanumachine

    He is based on the Hindu monkey god, Hanuman. Once he attacked the Resistance Base, he found himself in the base's warehouse. Police Jesus revived Hanumachine as "***Hanumachine R***". Despite being named for the Hindu deity Hanuman, Hanumachine bears greater similarity to the classic Chinese character Sun Wukong. Hanumachine's golden circlet, size-changing staff, and ability to summon smaller copies of himself all evoke traits specific to Sun Wukong as he appears in the epic novel *Journey to the West*.

He is weak to electricity because electric shocks can kill monkeys, being a Mutos Reploid fire-based, I would say that a thunderstorm can put out fire by the rain it produces.

### Heat Genblem

    His inspiration behind would be based on a Chinese Black Tortoise, better known as Genbu. He is a Tortoise since he uses fire and the fire only burned on dry land, it is not a water turtle for that reason. Heat Genblem's design and moves are similar to that of Gamera, the giant turtle Kaiju by Daiei Motion Picture Company. He is the toughest Mutos Reploid that ever hides in his shell and can reflect Zero's attacks. He is a good attempt to compete with Rainy Turtloid, who belongs to Team Rivper.

### Hellbat Schilt

    Heat Genblem]] is Team Villalba's Rainy Turtloid, Sol Titanion is Team Villalba's Morph Moth and he is Team Villalba's Dark Necrobat. Both a land turtle, a butterfly, and a common bat are of the same species (water turtles are related to land turtles, moths are butterflies, and vampire bats are relatives of the common bat).

Known as **Devilbat Schilt**in the Mega Man Zero 3's North American version, is a Mutos Reploid based on a common bat that was originally created as a reconnaissance unit. He is one of the Eight Gentle Judges that was modified by Dr. Weil as one of Weil's Numbers. He doesn't get along with Blazin' Flizard and Childre Inarabitta. He is a gentleman and likes good manners, and considers Zero a barbarian trying to defy Weil. Zero has the mission to destroy a factory that was repairing weapons, and fights Schilt.

An image of Schilt appears in *Mega Man Zero 4* as one of Dr. Weil's first form attacks, where Schilt releases electric spheres. He also appears as a secret boss in Area N of *Mega Man ZX* if a Mega Man Zero 3 cartridge is in the Nintendo DS or by activating the *Zero 3* link in the *Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection* re-release.

He is weak to ice because bats do not inhabit cold places. He was revived by Team Villalba to protect the factory where the necessary weapons for Team Villalba are manufactured.

### Hyleg Ourobockle

    He is based on the Ouroboros snake, the design of his head is similar to that of a real world cobra. Despite being a snake, he has limbs, something that real snakes do not have, since they are reptiles because they crawl and do not have legs. Hyleg is atop a giant snake Mechaniloid called **Altroid**, as Lurerre which is tied to a giant anglerfish Mechaniloid.

Until now it is not known what his true weakness is, according to I think he is weak to ice since reptiles do not like the cold and by the order of the boss in the stage select (Hyleg Ourobockle (4), Poler Kamrous (3), Phoenix Magnion (2) and Panter Flauclaws (1).).

### Maha Ganeshariff

    He is based on the Hindu elephant god Ganesha. Although he is a water based Mutos Reploid, he never attacks with water, much less with his trunk, he always attacks sumo-style. He stored all the data he collected in the Underground Laboratory in his body's server, and to recover it.

His role as data store may be a reference to the god Ganesha from Hindu mythology. As he is the god of knowledge and education, it might have inspired Ganeshariff's function of containing and protecting data. Ganesha is also the god of obstacles, whose function is both to place and remove them from one's way. How the whole area is blocked after his defeat, as well as the way a new path opens up after that, may compose another reference to the god's role. Enemies such as Ray Blade, who act as barrier-like obstacles to the player, also inhabit the area while he is present, also referencing the god's purpose.

He is weak to electricity because water is conductive of electricity, also, being an elephant, these can die if they receive an electric shock.

### Mino Magnus

    He is based on a minotaur, with magnetic powers. He is armed with an axe. He is guardian of the Magnetic Zone. He can separate the parts of his body and bring metals like a magnet, making it difficult.

Although he has magnetic powers, he is weak to ice, for unknown reasons, even though he is not an Mutos Reploid based on electricity.

### Noble Mandrago

    She is based on the mythological creature Mandragora, a demon. He survived World War III under the earth, listed as "***Living Mutos Reploid***". Once she operated an underground forest trying to create artificial plants.

She is believed to be weak to electricity, although she is not a withered and dry plant since electricity can burn these types of dying plants. Another theory, could say that she is weak to fire since she is a plant and plants are burned with fire.

### Pegasolta Eclair

    He is good at removing all garbage from landfills using acid rain (albeit harmful to humans). He wanted to destroy nature, but was stopped by Team Villalba and joined the team. He was revived by Greenpeace, the Team Villalba's group that protects nature and wildlife, whose president is Toxic Seahorse.

He is a Mutos Reploid based on Pegasus, a flying horse from Greek mythology. He uses electric attacks, is a narcissist at heart, and looks down on anything he considers to be ugly, which usually includes everything else.

In *Mega Man Zero 4*, Pegasolta is first shown alongside the other Einherjar berating Popla Cocapetri for not being back on time. He also expresses disgust on Craft's orders to leave Zero, and for humans fleeing Neo Arcadia, when they should be grateful for Dr. Weil's rule. He occupies the Hanging Gardens, a flying fortress equipped with generators used to create acid rain and powerful lighting storms in an attempt to destroy the environment of Area Zero. He appears again in Ragnarok along with the other Einherjar to prevent Zero from reaching Weil. The strong wind that was an obstacle throughout the Hanging Gardens mission will also be in effect during his battle there.

Pegasolta reappears as an optional boss in Area N of *Mega Man ZX*. The player must have the *Mega Man Zero 4* cartridge inserted into the Nintendo DS's Game Boy Advance slot for the battle to take place or by activating the *Zero 4* link in the *Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection* re-release.

He is weak to ice because horses don't like the cold, especially winged horses like the Pegasus.

### Phoenix Magnion

    While he was worth Team Villalba having a cheap copy of his existing Maverick, Blaze Heatnix, this is the case for the Phoenix Magnion!

He is based on a phoenix, known as a fire bird. He was patrolling a nuclear power reactor on guard duty. He did not die during World War III as he can be resurrected forever from his ashes like the phoenix (he can normally live 500 years, like the phoenix). He was resurrected only as Aztec Falcon and Sol Titanion. He can holographically make clones of himself, and he can summon defeated enemies (Vile, etc.).

He is weak to electricity because lightning is dangerous to a bird, being a Mutos Reploid fire-based, I would say that a thunderstorm can put out fire by the rain it produces.

### Poler Kamrous

    Poler Kamrous is the only Team Villalba Mutos Reploid ice-based, same case for Cubit Foxtar which is the only Team Rivper's Mutos Reploid fire-based, since they are both female. She is a Female Mutos Reploid based on a polar bear, her mythological inspiration would be based on the Kamuy (カムィ bears are worshiped as Kamuy by the Ainu), in the cult of bears. She belongs to the Fairy Leviathan's Deep Sea Squadron. Once she operated a computer zone that controlled Neo Acardia's defense systems.

She is a weak fire since being a polar bear (that lives in the cold) does not like heat, in addition to the fact that ice melts at high temperatures.

### Sol Titanion

    She is based on a mix between butterfly and Atlas moth (butterfly because she has butterfly antennae and Atlas moth, who knows why?), her probable mythological inspiration would be to the queen of fairies, Titania (both have the same name). Like Aztec Falcon and Phoenix Magnion, she was resurrected alone in sunlight. She then occupies an artificial sun that was originally designed for weather control but modified it to overheat and spread the heat waves for desertification.

She is weak to electricity because bugs can be brought in by light and can die with a bug killer light.

She is one step closer to being the Math Nation's president, although she will have a rival candidate named Seaking Leviathan in the MNE's September 11, 2020 presidential election.

### Tretista Kelverian

    He is based on a cerberus, the 3-headed dog guarding the gate to Hades World. Once he protected the door to Hades World from religious and check if they were sinners or atheists to enter Hades World, but he was manipulated by Team Villalba for him to be good and not bad with the religious and allow the passage of religious to Hades World, no longer follow orders from the Demon Queen and Astaroth. At the final stage, he says he is "Hades' protective dog," a reference to this. Tretista Kelverian and Childre Inarabitta are the only members of the Weil's Numbers that first appear to Zero already morphed in their *Punishment* forms. He only assumed his humanoid form briefly during the final stage, morphing afterwards. His three heads having a different thought system for judgement could be a reference to the three judges of Hades Rhadamanthys, Eacus, and Minos. He is the Z-Group leader.

He is weak to electricity because he gives a reference to heavenly punishment.
