Section 1: Introduction
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
While cruising around on www.gamefaqs.com I noticed that there was not
an enemy FAQ for Megaman X. I know, from playing through the game
several times, and writing an FAQ for it, that describing the enemies
in the game can be kind of tough. You begin to have things like "one
wheeled spiked psycho motorcycle thing" and "laughing purplish spiked
flyer". I know this can be very confusing. So, I decided I would take
the information the game gives you at the end of the game, and parlay
it into a useable FAQ for people just wanting to use that information
you get at the end of the game.

=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
Section 2: Legal Stuff
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
All characters names might be copyrighted to Capcom. All of the
descriptions and *MOST* of the level lists originate from me and from
no one connected with Capcom. I am not connected with Capcom in any
manner of speaking. Since this FAQ is of my own work, you may not use
any part of it for your own work without the proper consent from me.
You may not post this FAQ on your site without permission from me. If
you wish to place any part of this FAQ on your site, or use any part of
this FAQ in your own work, you may email me and we will talk about such
an act occurring. Realize that you will be entailed to give me full
credit if any such act is indeed undertaken. I hope you find this FAQ
useful, and please enjoy.

Section 3: Enemy Descriptions
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
This section will be fairly lengthy, because there are a lot of enemies
in Megaman X, and some of them will probably be tough to describe.
However, bear with me, and if you find any of the descriptions
confusing or too vague, drop me an email and I will try to fix it. A
small note: At this point in time, this FAQ does not include any
descriptions or lists of minibosses or bosses, because then it would
technically be a boss FAQ, and such an FAQ already exists. The enemies
will be listed in alphabetical order. The description will include a
description of the enemy's appearance as well as what their attacks
are. This FAQ currently does not include any strategies for destroying
the enemies. One note: When I refer to "X", that is the main character
that you are controlling, Megaman X.

AMENHOPPER - Green, with four legs. Each leg has a circular disc for a
"foot" of sorts. The four legs join at a spherical hub, with one large
red eye on top. To the sides of the sphere, there are "ears" composed
of a blue circle with a golden ring. The Amenhopper has an orifice to
deposit bombs on X. Its main attack is to drop bombs on X.

AXE MAX - Axe Max is humanoid, and is attached to the ground. It is
mostly blue, with golden shoulders, and golden trimming. There are two
small red eyes in the center of the head. Axe Max wields a large, one-

cylinders at X, its main attack.

ARMOR SOLDIER - The Armor Soldier rides in a riding armor like X's, and

Oops! We Forgot!
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
There are actually two enemies that the programmers left out of the
enemy list at the end of the game! I decided I would give them my own
names and describe them for you anyway so you wouldn't be lost and
wondering what they were when you didn't find them above.

LASER FLOATERS - This is a two-part enemy; the first part is a
detection device, with two nodules that connect with a red laser. The
second part is a floating enemy, with one large red eye and a 2
grayish-white handles to the side. It has a small protrusion on its
underside, which it uses to shoot a laser beam at X if he trips one of
the detection lasers.

protruding forward on each side. It has two small green eyes, a golden

Section 5: Level Lists
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
In this section, I will list the enemies in each stage by order of
appearance. You may have noticed that I said *MOST* of the level lists
originated from me. This is referring to the fact that when you beat
Megaman X, an enemy by level list comes up at the end. However, those
lists do not include all of the enemies from the level, only the
noteworthy ones, generally ones found only on that level, and possibly
on another. The game's lists are especially lacking on the Sigma Stage
levels. So, no I did not copy off of the game's lists, I did, however,
use them as the basis for mine, and gave them full credit in the
Credits section below. Anyway, an * denotes a miniboss, and an **
denotes a level boss. If a boss is repeated twice in one level, it will
be stuck back in with a 2 next to it. I will use the key listed in
Section 4 for the lists.

Section 6: version History
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
- Version 3.0: Fixed more formatting errors, I am working on a Weaknesses
section, which will include all of the enemies and potentially mini-bosses
and bosses as well. Expect that sometime in early August.

- Version 2.0: I fixed a few formatting errors, and an amazing
homophone-type deal in the Section 5 introduction, I managed to confuse
"win" with "when" during the stupor I was in while typing this due to
lack of sleep...

- Version 1.0: Umm, well, it's the first version... everything's new...

=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
Section 7: Credits
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~

- Capcom, for making the game and giving me the basis for the lists.

- www.gamefaqs.com, for posting this FAQ.

Hopefully this section will grow over time. Again, if you see a mistake
of some sort, please drop me an email so that I can take care of it. I
will make sure you get proper credit. Thanks for reading!
