Team Rivper's Z-Group

**Team Rivper's Z-Grou**p is a 14 Mutos Reploids' group formed after Team Villalba formed his Z-Group.

Both groups have "***Z***" in their name for Zero.

## Mutos Reploids

### Anubis Necromancess

   The Egyptian gods were not immortal, they died like other living beings, but this new god Anubis resurrected by Team Rivper is immortal. He protects the Giza's pyramids and the ancient sphinx from terrorists from the Middle East who want to bomb them. He is based on a Jackal, and serving as a medical supporter and undertaker.

He is weak to fire because jackals can burn with fire and ice because jackals don't like cold.

### Asura Basura

~~We don't know on this based he.~~ But we can deduce that he is based on Asura, a mythological creature of Buddhism with four arms. His element is probably Metal. He uses three swords and one buster-resistant shield. After his defeat Zero fights against Herculious Anchus. He is the first boss of the Neo Arcadia Shrine. He was plagiarized from Magna Centipede and Dark Mantis by Team Rivper to protect his headquarters from intruders.

We don't know that he is weak but we can deduce that being a metal-based Mutos Reploid, I would say that he is weak to electricity as Deathtanz Mantisk (another metal-based Mutos Reploid).

### Blizzack Staggroff

   He is not a stag (despite his name), he is actually based on a elk (Average size varies, but **elk** are one of the largest species **in the** deer family. Mature bull **elk** typically weigh 600-1,000 pounds. ... Males are called **stags** and female red deer are hinds. With an average body size ranging from 300-500 pounds, Red Deer are quite a bit smaller than **elk**.). He is a ruthless Reploid that enjoys painfully dismantling captured Resistance members under the guise of "questioning" them. The extremely low temperature produced by him can atomize anything, and can even turn oceans into blocks of ice. Blizzack Staggroff may be based on the white stag present on several mythologies, most notably Csodaszarvas, which is depicted as being hard to find. Staggroff was hidden in an underground base located in a cave under a desert.

He is weak to fire because ice melts at high temperatures.

### Burble Hekelot

    He is based on the Egyptian frog-headed goddess Heqet. Burble Hekelot is the only amphibian-themed Reploid in the *Mega Man* games (if at least you believed that Blazin' Flizard was based on a salamander, technically an amphibian, but he is actually a frill-necked lizard, which is technically a reptile). Burble doesn't get along with Hyleg Ourobockle, since he is from the rival team, Team Villalba. Burble was assigned to protect the Forest of Notus.

The fact that Burble and Hyleg don't get along is in some ways similar to the relationship between Snake Man and Toad Man (Snake Man likes Toad Man, but Toad Man dislikes Snake Man). In both cases, it may have something to do with the fact that some snakes eat frogs.

He is weak to electricity because bubbles are good conductors of electricity.

### Childre Inarabitta

    He is based on Inaba's White Hare from the Kojiki book. His small frame is for high-speed maneuvers, being able to spring and pounce freely on water. His body also possesses a cooling system which allows him to manipulate cold environments in order to prevent his body from overheating, in turn allowing him to create freezing attacks.

Childre Inarabitta is one of only two of Weil's Numbers in the game who first appear already morphed into his "Punishment" form, the other being Tretista Kelverian. Childre has transformed to boost his speed and chase after the Dark Elf, while Tretista, being more of a loyal guard dog than human, is already transformed to immediately take care of intruders in his area. Both of them only assume humanoid form briefly during the final stage, morphing afterwards.

He is weak to fire because hares can die burned so you can cook them.

### Cubit Foxtar

    The only female in this group, and the only Team Rivper's Mutos Reploid fire-based , same case for Poler Kamrous which is the only Team Villalba's Mutos Reploid ice-based, since they are both female. She is based on the nine-tailed fox, Kitsune. Cubit has nine remote control options to attack and can create flaming mirages, preferring to use strategy to defeat enemies instead of physical fights. We are not going to say that she is male because Team Rivper will lose her only female Mutos Reploid.

Cubit Foxtar is one of the few *Mega Man* characters that had her gender changed in different sources.

She is weak to electricity, who knows?

### Fenri Lunaedge

    He is based on Fenrisulfr (also known as Fenrir), wolf from Norse mythology. He then occupies the Hibernation Chamber which houses old Cyber-elf experiments that have been asleep for some time.

He attacks by creating clones of himself made of ice, spin like a ball across the screen, dashing towards Zero using the blades in his arms, and by launching ice slashes in a pattern. If the weather is tipped in his favor, the floor is sheathed in ice, making it even more difficult for Zero to avoid the fast-paced attacks.

He is weak to fire because Fenrirs don't like heat.

### Glacier le Cactank

    He is based on a cacti, but too spherical, which makes him very ambiguous! Originally, he was built as a large armored water tank that he used to bring water to remote areas, and has a cooling system that allows him to freeze the water inside him to use it as ice thorns.

Glacier le Cactank's human form resembles Dr. Eggman from the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series.

He is weak to fire since cacti are plants and can burn.

### Herculious Anchus

    Herculious is a Mutos Reploid based on the hercules beetle, and is a member of Sage Harpuia's Strong Air Battalion. Zero encounters Herculious at the end of the Neo Arcadia Shrine stage and again in the final stage. He uses electrical attacks and is vulnerable to ice attacks (probably because some insects don't like the cold).

Herculious also appears alongside his brother Kuwagust Anchus in Yggdrasil, the final stage of *Mega Man Zero 2*, in the second teleporter room, in the bottom left teleporter. He meets his end when Zero tricks the two brothers into colliding with each other, which results in fatal damage to both of them.

### Kuwagust Anchus

    He is a Mutos Reploid based on the stag beetle (Kuwagata in Japan) and a member of Sage Harpuia's Strong Air Battalion.

In light of Elpizo's Operation Righteous Strike, Sage Harpuia sees this as reason for a counter-attack, and sends Kuwagust to commandeer an airship, armed with a bomb, on course for the Resistance Base. As he was built with the same technology as Herculious Anchus, they are known as brother Reploids, and he mentions him during his battle against Zero. If Zero defeats Kuwagust with Rank A or S, he will gain the EX Skill Sengatotsu.

When the player faces Kuwagust again in Yggdrasil, Zero fights both him and Herculious together, who both die once they are tricked into colliding into each other, resulting in their simultaneous demise after being brainwashed by Elpizo.

The second name of Herculious and Kuwagust is the same in Japan, but had different translations: Anchortus and Anchus. This issue was fixed in *Mega Man Zero Collection*.

The character may be a reference to Gravity Beetle, as both characters are based on bugs, are Team Rivper's members and had a brother who died at the hands of the protagonists and wanted to avenge them. Kuwagust is also based on the same bug as Boomerang Kuwanger, Gravity Beetle's brother.

We do not know that he is weak.

### Panter Flauclaws

    He is based on a black panther, his mythological inspiration is the leopard demon Flauros, yet another feline from Team Rivper! He found himself on another train across the Neo Arcadia train.

Panter Flauclaws bears a resemblance to Slash Beast from *Mega Man X4*, as both are based on felines (the latter being a lion) and are fought in moving trains. They also share their speed and slashing capabilities.

Panter Flauclaws's boss battle is similar to that of Buckfire's battle in *Mega Man ZX Advent*. They are both fought on trains, and they both have diagonal kick attacks and boomerangs in their arms.

He is weak on ice because felines do not like cold.

### Popla Cocapetri

    Cocapetri is based on a Cockatrice, that is, a dragon chicken that can petrify with beam, useful to protect the human inhabitants of Mathtropolis city from assassins like Police Jesus. He is specialized in internal tech warfare, including software hacking and communications interference. He is equipped with weaponry that allows him to backdoor computer systems and interact directly with main coding; one favorite method of his matching his cockatrice motif is that he is able to exploit a failsafe protocol through laser etching inscriptions onto a Reploid's optical units, that subconsciously activates a manufacturer built in self-containment sequence and override virus that takes over the CPU of the victim, deactivating them as if they were stone. As such, he loves fighting by making foes helpless and using attacks that forces his foes to stay in place.

He is weak to electricity because lightning is dangerous to birds.

### Tech Kraken

    He is based on two animals, in the squid (by the tip of his head) and in the cuttlefish (by he has only 2 tentacles). He is fought in a giant drill submarine in the Deep Sea with explosives packed on board. The submarine is trying to destroy Area Zero by drilling into the earth and exploding, breaking up a tectonic plate to cause an earthquake. If the weather is tipped in his favor, the walls of his room will be covered in thick ice. Like Tretista Kelverian who is the Team Villalba's Z-Group's leader, he is the Team Rivper's Z-Group's leader since both are written with "**T**", which is the first letter from both name's teams.

Kraken is weak to fire and flame-based attacks like the Ryuenzan.

### Volteel Biblio

    He is based on an electric eel, well that explains why Doctor Jesus likes aquatic animals! His design is similar to a dragon fish. Found in a sunken library located where probably the Atlantis city is. Volteel's personality is eccentric, as to maintain his compressed form, he removed the protection of his power generator, but as a consequence, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the generator caused damage to his brain, and he needs regular maintenance to avoid defects.

He is weak to ice since eels live in warm waters and do not like cold waters.
