Overdrive Ostrich, known in Japan as Sonic Ostreague (ソニック・オストリーグ), is an ostrich-type Maverick in Mega Man X2. Overdrive was once a member of the 7th Air Unit of the Maverick Hunters, but retired after an accident in which he lost the ability to fly. Sigma then hired him for his superior speed. He lives in the desert, and is one of the few Mavericks that battles outdoors instead of in a room. He also has the biggest battle area in any Mega Man game to date. He can move and throw Sonic Slicers rather quickly, as well as race the player seemingly endlessly. But Crystal Hunter both damages and freezes him. And if you keep freezing him and waiting for him to move again, he'll be trapped in a repeating pattern.
Another trait unique to Ostrich is that before encountering him, X has to take out a missile about to launch out of a silo the player visits while investigating the desert base. He jumps on it just before it launches, then fires repeatedly as it starts taking off. However, it's more of a cutscene (the player doesn't have to do anything other than jumping on the missile), and has no relevance to the gameplay.
Zero, in Mega Man Xtreme 2, can take him on with Lightning.
