{{Nihongo|'''The Skiver'''|スパイラルペガシオン|Supairaru Pegashion|'''Spiral Pegacion''' in Japan}} is a [[Repliforce]] Reploid left over from [[Mega Man X4]], who soon succumbed to the [[Sigma Virus]]. He was apparently friends with [[Colonel]] as he questions [[Zero]], if used at the time, as to why he killed him. Skiver guards the Orbiter Wing for the Shuttle, and he flies about and throws [[Wing Spiral]]. But he freezes in [[Dark Hold]], so use this to your advantage. It's recommended that you use Zero for this battle, as Zero can still perform his other skills (that do not require WE) when using Dark Hold, unlike [[Mega Man X (character)|X]], who is only limited to buster shots when the weapon is in effect.

Spiral Pegasus held an Orbiter Wing needed for the [[Space Shuttle|Shuttle Operation]] to destroy the [[Eurasia]] colony.

This is our second shot in the fantasy series. In the previous game, X4, we went for a [[Magma Dragoon|dragon motif]], but as a rule for the X series bosses, fantasy types are not existent creatures, so if it's hard to figure out, it becomes unavailable.

His attack method was easy to imagine and he looked cool, so I decided on him fairly quickly. The fact that his attack method resembles [[Storm Eagle|Eagleed's]] is because I was heavily influenced by [[Mega Man Xtreme|Cyber Mission]], which I was making at the same time, so I tried making them similar on purpose.<ref name="elysium">[http://asylums.insanejournal.com/rockman_elysium/27991.html#cutid1 Rockman Elysium: Production notes about the cast of X5]</ref><ref name="capcombbs">[http://web.archive.org/web/20010405045728/bbs.capcom.com/messages/355/16284.html Capcom Community: X5 Developer/Designer Note translations]</ref>

"I've already been infected by the Virus... I'm destined to be retired by you once I become a Maverick, so go ahead, take me down..."
―Spiral Pegasus, Mega Man X5

Spiral Pegasus,[2] known as Spiral Pegacion[2] (スパイラル・ペガシオン Supairaru Pegashion) in Japan, also known as The Skiver,[3] is a Pegasus-themed Reploid from Mega Man X5. He was a young director of the Repliforce air brigade, who survived the Great Repliforce War that occurred during the events of Mega Man X4. He looked up to Colonel and General and knows Iris. He then began overseeing an Air Force base near to the west coast of Norway, known as the Reploid Air Force.

Spiral Pegasus held an Orbiter Wing needed for the Shuttle Operation to destroy the Eurasia colony. However, because of being in the early stages of the viral infection and unresolved issues with the Maverick Hunters, he refuses to cooperate and orders to be taken down in an duel without hard feelings:

  • If X was used, he always wanted to meet with him, implying he wanted to discuss about the General.
  • If Zero was used, he questions as to why he killed the Colonel.

If he was fully infected, he yells out for killing out of revenge: General for X and Colonel and Iris for Zero.

Strategy

Spiral Pegasus flies about and uses his Wing Spiral attack, but can be trapped by Dark Hold, so use this to your advantage. Zero is recommended for this battle, as he can still perform his other skills (that do not require Weapon Energy) when using Dark Hold, unlike X, who is only limited to buster shots when the weapon is in effect.

Developer Comments
This is our second shot in the fantasy series. In the previous game, X4, we went for a dragon motif, but as a rule for the X series bosses, fantasy types are not existent creatures, so if it's hard to figure out, it becomes unavailable. Well, I broke that rule again this time. (grin) His attack method was easy to imagine and he looked cool, so I decided on him fairly quickly. The fact that his attack method resembles Eagleed's is because I was heavily influenced by Cyber Mission, which I was making at the same time, so I tried making them similar on purpose.[4][5]

Designer Comments
He's a soldier, so he's in uniform (as is). I like him rather a bit, but I'd still like to rework the wings. When I was drawing this, I was listening to the theme to Captain Tsubasa over and over. [Captain Tsubasa is a classic soccer manga/anime.] Thus we have the wings (tsubasa) link.... I don't know if he'll make the best use of them or not.[4][5]

Trivia

  • Based on his words to Zero (if the Eurasia crashed and he is encountered), Spiral Pegasus apparently knew Iris once (most likely through Colonel). Whatever sort of relationship they may have had then is largely unknown.
  • Right at the beginning of the first inner area in his stage, there are several Eagle Ride Armors in the background.
