Storm Owl, known as Storm Fukuroul (ストーム・フクロウル) in Japan, is a Maverick from the X era, appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X4. He is a wind-themed Reploid based on an owl, who attacks with vacuum cyclones and feather missiles. He is a member of Repliforce who participates in their coup d'état.

In the Games

Mega Man X4

Sprite from Mega Man X4.

Storm Owl debuts in Mega Man X4 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He is a noble member of Repliforce who serves as the boss of Air Force. He flies in and out of the arena at will, launching different attacks with every visit. Defeating Storm Owl grants Double Cyclone to X and Tenkuha to Zero. His weakness is the Aiming Laser and Rakuhoha from Cyber Peacock, which disrupts his circuitry and resets his pattern. A boss attack rematch with Storm Owl later occurs in Final Weapon 3.
