"Oh, it's YOU that's causing my suffering! Then if I tear you to pieces, the pain will stop!"
―Flame Hyenard, Mega Man X7

Flame Hyenard (フレイム・ハイエナード, Fureimu Haienādo) is a hyena-based Reploid and member of the Red Alert syndicate from Mega Man X7.

History[]

Flame Hyenard was a bounty hunter who was one of the main fighters in the vigilante group Red Alert.

Eventually, the Professor came into contact with Red Alert and used DNA data to greatly enhance the strength of its members, Hyenard included. However, this also made him subservient to the will of the Professor. For some reason, unlike the other members, the Professor's mind control also caused Hyenard to undergo severe physical pain.

After Red Alert and the Maverick Hunters went to war against each other, Hyenard took over an industrial complex as well as an huge gazelle-shaped Mechaniloid and lied in wait for the Hunters.[1] When they arrived, Hyenard decided to kill them, believing them to be the ones responsible for his suffering. However, the Hunters proved stronger and defeated him in a fierce battle, putting the crazed Reploid out of his misery.

Characteristics[]

Flame Hyenard is an average-sized Reploid with the design of a hyena. His armor is sandy brown and black, with various vents and exhaust holes located around his body. One of his shoulders is normally open, constantly emitting a small stream of fire.

When X, Zero and Axl encountered Flame Hyenard, he was in a crazed and delusional state. He initially disregarded their invasion of his lair, walking right by them with little thought, but upon noticing them decided that they were the cause of his suffering. He then became aggressive and attacked, giving the Maverick Hunters little choice but to put him down. It's implied that his affliction was caused from being infected with the Sigma Virus. It is unknown what Hyenard's personality was like before the infection.

Strategy[]

Flame Hyenard starts the battle with two clones of himself that attack the player, while he stands out of reach atop a Giant Mechaniloid Gazelle (巨大メカニロイド・ガゼル) walking in the lava surrounding the platform. Attacking the clones does not harm Hyenard, so the player must climb the legs of the Mechaniloid to face the real Hyenard. Its leg joints can be struck to stop it from moving, allowing easier access.

Atop the Mechaniloid, if the player stays in the middle of its back, Hyenard and his clones surround them in a triangle. They start running in a circle, throwing fireballs and sometimes dashing at them. Caution must be taken, as there is no traction on the Mechaniloid and the player may slide as it moves. Hyenard is weak to Splash Laser and Suiretsusen. Each time these attacks connect, his clones will vanish, forcing him to stop to summon them again.

Alternatively, the player can stand on the Mechaniloid's shoulders or neck instead so Hyenard never enters his triangle formation. The player can freely attack Hyenard while only contending with missiles, but it is very easy to slip off and fall in the lava from such a position.

Trivia[]

  • Flame Hyenard has become infamous for being one of the most annoying bosses in Mega Man X7 due to his erratic, often skipping, and loud speech pattern "BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!" all throughout the fights with him in the English version of the game.
  • Flame Hyenard is the only Maverick from X7 whose pre-battle dialogue is the same no matter which hunter fights him.
    • However, in the Japanese version, although he says the same lines to each of the hunters, his intonations are different depending on whom he talks to.
