Ground Scaravich is a reploid that first appeared in the events of Mega Man X6. Before the events of X6 he was already a wanted criminal. He was also likely a maverick, reploids, that pose a danger to the world. He is rather a complex character. Indeed, lets learn about this complex character.



Scaravich was originally created by Gate to hunt for treasure. His small sized made him the ideal treasure hunter as he could go into spots humans or other reploids could not. He seemed to be very skilled at this. However, Scaravhich had his own goals. It is speculated he had a malfunction in his programming or became under the influence of the Sigma Virus. Regardless he started to go back into ruins and steal valued treasure. This made him a wanted criminal among the police organizations. He eventually got the attention of the Maverick Hunters. Not only did he steal ruins. But he tried to go into closed off areas to get try to find DNA of past reploids to use for his own gain. Despite his best efforts Gate could not control him. He eventually wandered off as a wanted criminal by police organizations and now the Maverick Hunters.

One day he was going into an area that had a lot of DNA from past mavericks. Alia, who was still working for Gate at this point, saw him entered. Alia also knew the dangers that Scaravich could do if he got his hands on some of the old maverick data. Alia took it in her own hands to blow the area he was in up, burying Scaravich, and killing him. Alia felt bad about this since he was one of Gate's creations. To Alia's surprise Gate did not seem to care due to him not being able to control him. Most likely it was also because he was a criminal. While Gate had fell out of favor with some of the top organizations. Gate was not a criminal or maverick at this point.

During the events of Mega Man X6 Gate came into contact with Sigma's DNA and became infected with the Sigma Virus. This turned Gate into a maverick. He also resurrected Ground Scaravich. He ordered him to be one of his nightmare investigators and to take over a museum. He helped spread the Nightmare, which was a death trap to infect others with the Sigma virus. Since Gate was now a maverick he let Scaravich do whatever he wanted too. Not only did Scaravich spread the nightmare but he also stole valuable items from the Museum.

Eventually he was tracked down by X and Zero. When he encountered them he was frightened and stated he was cursed having to fight them. However, he quickly became aggressive and stated that he could analyze their DNA and win praise from Gate. He was quickly destroyed for good by X and Zero.

Appearance- Ground Scaravich is based off of a Dung Beetle. He has mostly brown and yellow armor. He has two antenna on his forehead as well as the signature Gate Horn. He is a short reploid and has short arms and legs. He has hooks and a cannon at his rear. This allows him to push large boulders and also fire them.

Personality- Ground Scaravich has a complex personality. Before the events of Mega Man X6 he had no respect for authority, laws, rules, and safety of others. Even Gate could not control him. He did not care to go into restricted areas. Furthermore, he did not care that using past Maverick DNA could be dangerous as he could trigger a virus outbreak. Basically, he only served himself.

On the other hand, he did seem to respect those that where stronger than him. He respected X and Zero, so much that he was frightened at the though of having to face them. He also seemed to know what he was doing was wrong even before X6 as he was careful to avoid the authorities and maverick hunters.

During the events of Mega Man X6 his personality was left unchanged, but this is where his personality gets complex. When X and Zero first encountered them. He stated oh now its two of the highest ranking officers in the world. I am cursed having to face you. He was frightened at the two maverick hunters. On the other hand, he then showed bravery saying it did not matter that he would fight them anyway in attempt to get their DNA. Now, its unclear does he somehow overcome his fears due to his complex personality, or was this the nightmare/sigma virus effecting him? Regardless he lack of authority and own ambitions lead to his death the first and second time.

Abilities- Ground Scaravich being short and small in stature can easily go through pryamids or tight areas to steal treasure. Given how his stage lighting is dim in some spots. It is likely that he can see well in the dark or at least in dim lighted areas. He can also use his hooks on his back to push large boulders. Moreover, he can also fire large boulders. His legs can also be used to dig for treasure as well. He also has great strength as he can push some of the largest boulders known to the world.

Attacks- Ground Scaravich has simple attack patterns. He attacks by pushing or throwing boulders at his opponents. The boulders can vary in size from small boulders to massive boulders. Even though he can push or fire the large boulders with ease they do slow him down due to the weight of the boulder. In some versions of the game he can also fire small energy shots at his opponents.

Weakness- He is weak to the Yamatar Option as the dragon flies multiple shots can shatter his boulders. Most of the time he can be dashed or jumped over and hit from behind. He is prone to sneak attacks. If he uses very large boulders the player can climb the ropes in his room and jump or dash over him to hit him. Moreover, when he pushes very large boulders the weight of the boulder slows him down greatly. This is when he can be prone to attacks. He is also weak to Saber attacks as they will also slice him and his boulders.

Overall, Ground Scaravich had a complex personality for reasons I mentioned above. Like most of Gate's creations he was originally intended to be a good guy. However, something went wrong. When Alia took him out the first time due to his dangerous activities. Gate did not shed a tear that one of his creations was destroyed. Most likely he was relieved given how he could not control Scaravich.

Scarvich at times showed he knew what he was doing was wrong but chose to do it anyway. He was crafty enough to avoid the authorities and even X and Zero. When he was brought back by Gate. He maintained his original personality. He acted frightened when encountered but then became full of rage and overconfidence. His own ambitions and lack of respect lead to his downfall.

Therefore, he is not considered a tragic character unlike some of the other characters. The main reason is turned bad before the events of Mega Man X6, did not respect authorities, engaged in dangerous activities. X and Zero showed no remorse for killing him. This is different as X and Zero showed remorse for killing Turtloid, Wolfang, Sheldon, and even Yammark. In a sense he was similar to Blaze Heatnix, Infinity Minjion, and Metal Shark player as they turned bad before the events of X6. Really they shared the same characteristics disregard for authority, not obeying safety laws, and wanting to use DNA in a dangerous way. Indeed, Ground Scaravich is not a victim in the Maverick Wars. Unlike some of the other mavericks in the past that where true victims. This concludes Ground Scaravich's biography.
