Egregion (イレギオン Iregion, Eregion) is the boss of the Intro Stage in Mega Man X4. In the first half (Sky Lagoon), the player must outrun him to avoid its claws and shots, and must also destroy the locked doors to get away. In the second part (the city ruins), the player must fight him. X should use charge shots, and Zero should keep wailing on him with his Z-Saber. Just watch for his body attacks (when he flies), his claw swipes, and his laser "breath". After the defeat of Eregion, the player will encounter Colonel for the first time and learn of Repliforce's declaring war for independence.Eregion is effective a damaged and deteriored mechaniloid neutral in aligments thought.Its thought that Sigma uses Eregion but this is still unknown.Eregion looks very deteriored and old and it looks almost that the battle will be easy, but in battle, (Every two phases), Eregion is slightly weak and very quickly, he can fly, forcing the player to wait his landing.Eregion has a special technique, if the player is under his body (Giving the player the chance to hit him in his weak point) he will slahs the player, far away.
Trivia
- The Japanese name for this character literally translates to "Iregion"; however, it is often — and officially — referred to as "Eregion". Egregion was the name given upon Mega Man X4's localization.
- In the Capcom Music Generation Rockman X1~6, which is a collection of the soundtracks from those games, in the third disc, which contains the music from Mega Man X4, the sixth track is named "Eregion" furthering the official status of the name.
- Eregion is part of J. R. R. Tolkien fiction, as it was a kingdom of the Noldorin Elves in Eriador.
- It is probable, and possibly following the same case of Vile, that Capcom decided to change this character's name upon localization to avoid any form of legal action.
- Ironically, years later, a very similar name to Eregion is used in the popular book series "Eragon", which coincidentally also features dragons.
- The name "Eregion" is not to be pronounced as "region"; the g should sound exactly as the g in the word get.
