Popla Cocapetri (プープラ・コカペトリ, Popla Cocapetri) is one of the Einherjar Eight Warriors in Mega Man Zero 4. Cocapetri is a Mutos Reploid based on the cockatrice, and is specialized in internal tech warfare, including software hacking and communications interference. He is equipped with weaponry that allows him to backdoor computer systems and interact directly with main coding; one favorite method of his matching his cockatrice motif is that he is able to exploit a failsafe protocol through laser etching inscriptions onto a Reploid's optical units, that subconsciously activates a manufacturer built in self-containment sequence and override virus that takes over the CPU of the victim, deactivating them as if they were stone. As such, he loves fighting by making foes helpless and using attacks that forces his foes to stay in place.

Cocapetri is first seen after Zero defeats Carnage Force 0, questioning Operation Ragnarok, but goes along with it since it's Dr. Weil's orders. He expresses confusion at Zero's appearance, but becomes angry when Zero says he missed a grunt. He almost fights Zero, but is interrupted by Fenri Lunaedge's howl, who doesn't want him to spoil the fun. He tells Sol Titanion to be quiet, only to be shut up by Pegasolta Eclair, who berates him for not being back on time. When Craft introduces himself and tells about Operation Ragnarok, Cocapetri sneers that when Area Zero's destoryed, no one will escape Dr. Weil and just go about their business.

He occupies the ruins of a city whose infrastructure is all hooked up to a central computer system and has taken full control over it, authorizing its directives to reinforce its infrastructure for warfare standards as an impregnable frontline base, issue junk botched process construction projects to wear away at the natural environment of Area Zero, to detect and destroy any Reploid or human that enters it through its security systems at its highest level, and has infected it with a virus to ensure an automated stand alone process. He had a grudge against Zero due to Zero insulting him on several occasions. The battle takes place in a room with floors moving up and down, making it more difficult to dodge his attacks.

Mega Man Zero Official Complete Works

A Reploid specializing in Electronic Combat, he is very adept at jamming sensors, hacking, and the like. He had lots to do before the implementation of hacker-type Cyber-elves, but lost his job as the use of elves became more popular. In his anger, he willingly joined Weil's side. He is stubborn and short-tempered, and hates it when others tease him about his small size. He has three lenses: one on his torso, and one on each wing, but none of these lenses are visible when he has his wings folded.

Attacks

• CocaPoulet - Creates an egg Mechaniloid (CocaPoulet) that walks and jumps on the floor then disappears. The egg is destroyable.
• Venom Tail - Launches three green bombs at three ranges.
• Evil Eye - Launches a greenish-white glyph hologram that causes paralysis. If Zero is hit, players must rapidly press all the directional buttons in random order to free him, otherwise Zero will only be freed when Cocapetri hits him or when enough time elapses.
• Chicken Wing - Scatters six feather-like daggers that slowly falls to the ground.
• EX Skill: Devil Eye (デビルアイ) - Goes into the upper middle of the screen, freezes time, then scatters bombs which then land on the floor.
