Morph Moth 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 [[Robot Junkyard Stage]]. He begins the battle in his bagworm form, which grows larger as it absorbs scrap. Once he is at half health, he enters his moth form and attacks from high above. Defeating Morph Moth grants X the [[Silk Shot]]. His weakness is the [[Speed Burner]], from [[Flame Stag]], which wraps him in flames. A boss attack rematch with Morph Moth later occurs in [[X-Hunter Stage 4]].

MMX2 - Wheel Gator Art 2.png Wheel Gator
Gator was second-in-command of the 6th Naval Unit until during a mission, he got caught up in a frenzy of destruction and turned his weapons on his fellow Hunters. He became a fugitive, fleeing the very Hunters he had once commanded.
Working under Sigma has proven to be ideal for Gator, as he can slaughter and destroy to his heart's content. Recently he has acquired the means to enact even greater devastation: a massive land-based mobile fortress.
