In the Games

Mega Man ZX

Sprite from Mega Man ZX.

Purprill the Mandroid is one of the first four Pseudoroid bosses in Mega Man ZX, created by Serpent using one half of Model P, with Protectos the Goreroid receiving the other half. He is a reckless troublemaker Reploid who gained his power from Serpent.

Purprill dwells within an abandoned amusement park that was attacked by Mavericks years ago, where Vent/Aile lost their mother. When the Model ZX Mega Man investigates the park for the Mission "Secure the Biometal" in Area H (Amusement Park), they find Purprill and face him to confiscate his Biometal. He has no weaknesses, and defeating him grants them one half of Model P. Purprill later returns as part of the boss attack in the Slither Inc. head office.
