'''Marino''' is a female Reploid encountered by X in the Gigantis Island region, at Gaudille's laboratory.

She utilizes a pair of laser knives initially, (held to her back by a magnetic holder/sheathe) which she draws with lightning speed.

Also of note is her visor attached to her helmet, this can be pulled down over her eyes to provide telescopic vision, at the very least. <br> |
