Toxic Seahorse, known as Acid Seaforce (アシッド・シーフォース Ashiddo Shīfōsu) in Japan, is a seahorse-based Reploid in Mega Man X3. He is a stealth Reploid who joined the Doppler Army.

Characteristics[]

Toxic Seahorse has a body inspired by a seahorse, possessing a long and curved neck and tail composed of connected spheres. His feet splay out like fins, and his head has multiple crests on the back and a long snout. His armor is primarily green and purple in color.

What little is known about Toxic Seahorse's character paints him as a secretive stealth operative. His manga incarnation is a very emotional individual who cares deeply for his loved ones, driving him to commit violence.

History[]

Toxic Seahorse's origins are a well-guarded secret.[1] He was created with a unique liquid metal body, which allows him to liquidize and solidify at will as a stealth tactic.[2] Under Dr. Doppler's orders, he took control of the Monarch Dam to restrict the supply of drinking water for humans. As many would perish of thirst if he were not stopped, the Maverick Hunters needed to liberate the dam, and X destroyed him in combat.

Strategy[]

Toxic Seahorse follows a simple pattern of jumping back and forth, stopping to shoot Acid Bursts or liquefy. Once his health is below half, Seahorse may throw two balls of acid that bounce along the floor after the player. His weakness is Frost Shield; since the Frost Shield's normal fire delays before launching, it can be used as a trap for Toxic Seahorse to land on after jumping.

Toxic Seahorse

The death of Toxic Seahorse, reuniting him with his late girlfriend.

Toxic Seahorse appears in the Rockman X3 manga, cutting off water to the humans on Dr. Doppler's orders. X and Zero fight him after running afoul of his hidden ambush attacks in the sea. Toxic Seahorse has drowned an entire town, poetically proclaiming it to be "holy ground", upon which our heroes X and Zero should stay away, since it is his "sanctuary". He also ominously says that he is "already dead". They do battle across the town, and eventually come out victorious, forcing Seahorse to flee. When X and Zero follow him, they see he has escaped to the top of a tree, and is quietly hugging the corpse of a frozen, female Reploid, who was his girlfriend. Seahorse is also about to liquefy his programming, which would kill him. X wants to stop him and take him into custody, but Zero convinces him not to, saying they have finished their task of defeating Seahorse and fixing the dam he ruined. Seahorse then perishes, together in death with his beloved.
