- "Squeak! This is GREAT! Very funny! The Earth has been severely damaged... Very cool, brother! Squeak! Let's retire all of the Reploids together!"
- ―Dark Dizzy, Mega Man X5
Dark Dizzy, known as Dark Necrobat (ダーク・ネクロバット Dāku Nekurobatto) in Japan, is a Reploid from Mega Man X5 based on a vampire bat.
He was a Maverick created by Sigma three years before the events of Mega Man X5, but escaped from his control and remained in hiding since then. Sigma, not considering him a serious fighting power, forgot about him. The Maverick Hunters confront him when they where looking for a Fuel Tank for the Space Shuttle.
Strategy
In battle, he flies about, sometimes teleports, and can summon Bat Bone to attack the player. Like bats, he doesn't like light, and is weak to Izzy Glow's weapons, F-Laser (with X) or C-Flasher (with Zero). While he's flying around, he may sometimes dive at the player, grab them and bite the player's character to drain his life energy, like a vampire. If Dark is low on health, he will release Sonic Waves up and down the screen. After that, he will use Dark Hold to freeze the player and attack him with either a Sonic Wave or Batton Bones. If the player hits Dark Dizzy while he is casting Dark Hold, he will be stunned and drop to the floor. After his defeat, the player obtains his weapon, Dark Hold.

Dialogues
When Playing as X
Dark Dizzy: Squeak! I've been waiting for you!
X: Hey! Can't you understand the urgency of our present situation? There's no time to fight.
Dark Dizzy: Squeak! Who cares?! I don't take orders from anyone! The word 'Sigma' means nothing to me!
X: I'll destroy all Mavericks like you!
Dark Dizzy: Squeak! I'm always ready!
When Playing as X (without needing the Fuel Tank)
Dark Dizzy: Squeak! I've been waiting for you!
X: Hey! Don't you understand what's happening?
Dark Dizzy: Squeak! Who cares? In situations like this everybody dies, not only Mavericks but also Maverick Hunters. Squeak! But just to make sure, I'll kill you myself!
When Playing as Zero
Dark Dizzy: Squeak! I know that smell...
Zero: Is he insane already?
Dark Dizzy: Squeak! We are comrades! Squeak! Let's not fight each other, squeak!
Zero: Crazy fool... What are you on about?
Dark Dizzy: Let's retire the Mavericks! Squeak!
Zero: You're one of them, I'll do you first!
When Playing as Zero (without needing the Fuel Tank)
Dark Dizzy: Squeak! This is GREAT! Very funny!
Zero: Is he insane already?
Dark Dizzy: The Earth has been severely damaged... Very cool, brother! Squeak! Let's retire all of the Reploids together!
Zero: ... You are the one who'll be retired.

Developer Comments
This was also influenced by a certain manga, so perhaps they asked the designer, "Please give him a Bat XXras feel!" (grin) [I have no idea to what character/manga he refers. The name is "Kohmori ??ras," where ?? is one kana blotted out.] However, as you can see from the results, he finished up as a smart design, and I really like it.
Just before the game was completed, we discovered a bug that made the Dark Hold perpetually freeze the game. Gave me a real chill. (grin)
Designer Comments
Being a bat, he was established as draining his opponents' energy, so in short, he was Count Dracula, and I gave him form straight from that. A monster in full dress. He's the only one this game to have the Sigma mark on him.[1][2]
Trivia
- In the American version, Dark Dizzy is named after Dizzy Reed, the stage name of the keyboardist of the band Guns N' Roses.
- Dark Necrobat shows many similarities with Shade Man, a boss of the classic Mega Man series who is fought in Mega Man 7. They're both bat/vampire themed, use soundwaves as an offensive weapon, and have the same life stealing ability, although Dark Necrobat uses it very rarely.
- His "Dark Hold" (ability to freeze dimension) is the only special weapon in the Mega Man X series that doesn't have any higher power when X is equipped with an armor that allows special weapons to be charged.
- In the game, he is the only boss out of the eight to have Sigma's Maverick symbol shown below his health bar.
