Violen

Violen (バイオレン) is one of the X-Hunters from Mega Man X2. When encountered in one of the hidden rooms, he attacks with either a morning star (that is quite difficult to dodge because it is hard to predict where it will go) or shoots a spray of shots from his fingertips.

He does this same thing in the first X-Hunter stage, except now there are blocks in his room that change location at times. But you can take precautions and somehow move to a spot where the blocks can block his morning star (to an extent).

He has a short appearance with the other X-Hunters in the opening scene of the PlayStation version from Mega Man X3. He and the X-Hunters also appear briefly in the opening scene of Mega Man X5, with Violen in the front and the other two in the back.

Trivia

 * He is the only X-Hunter that doesn't change forms when fought again, as Serges uses a steamroller/tank hybrid, and Agile changes into a "pod missile system".
 * Presumably his name was transliterated as "Violen" because that is phonically how the Japanese pronounce the French word "Violent"; like his fellow Counter Hunters, Violent's name is the French word for his defining characteristic.
