Crystal Snail, known as Cristar Mymine (クリスター・マイマイン) in Japan, is a Maverick from the X era, first appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X2. He is a crystal-themed Reploid based on a snail, who hides in his shell and traps his foes in crystals. His history is a mystery, but he joins forces with the X-Hunters.

In the Games

Mega Man X2

Sprite from Mega Man X2.

Crystal Snail debuts in Mega Man X2 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He is a mysterious SA-Class Maverick who serves as the boss of Energen Crystal Stage. His attacks are slow, but he evens the playing field by trapping the player in crystal or slowing down time. Defeating Crystal Snail grants X the Crystal Hunter. His weakness is the Magnet Mine, from Magna Centipede, which knocks him out of his shell; the player can then dash into the shell to send it flying, potentially hitting Snail for further damage. A boss attack rematch with Crystal Snail later occurs in X-Hunter Stage 4.
