Frost Walrus, known as Frost Kibatodos (フロスト・キバトドス) in Japan, is a Maverick from the X era, appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X4. He is an ice-themed Reploid based on a walrus (or sea lion in Japan), who attacks with icicles and his giant size. He is a member of Repliforce who participates in their coup d'état.

In the Games

Mega Man X4

Sprite from Mega Man X4.

Frost Walrus debuts in Mega Man X4 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He is a boisterous, troublemaking member of Repliforce who serves as the boss of Snow Base. His attacks are slow, but have wide coverage across the arena. Defeating Frost Walrus grants Frost Tower to X and Hyoretsuzan to Zero. His weakness is the Rising Fire or Ryuenjin from Magma Dragoon, which melts his icicles and resets his pattern. A boss attack rematch with Frost Walrus later occurs in Final Weapon 3.

Repliforce’s problem child. He was about to be disposed of as a Maverick, but was saved by General and became a soldier. Before the coup, General suspected him of being a Maverick after all due to his raging temper while on duty. He welcomes the rebellion in his heart and enjoys the opportunity for destruction, believing it is a soldier's duty to rampage. He is in charge of Repliforce's polar base.[3][4][5]
