Description from original post (created 2013-07-27 12:51):
Harpuia voiced by Megumi Ogata, is leader of Neo Arcadia's "Army of the Fierce Sky". Harpuia's schematics were based on that of X's capabilities of air combat. He is one of the Four Guardians of Copy X and oversees a pupil, Herculious Anchus. He worked on creating a biosphere before he was a guardian. In Mega Man ZX, the player finds two halves of a Biometal H, which after combining it with Biometal X becomes Model HX, a "Mega Man of Wind" resembling Harpuia's form. It claims that it fought for humans centuries ago.
Before the storyline of Mega Man Zero, Harpuia led an expedition to a Sunken Library to retrieve data from the ruins. In the game, he carries out missions for Copy X and Neo Arcadia, and in a last effort, he tries to defend Copy X from Zero; though it doesn't work. With the defeat of Copy X, Harpuia is appointed Leader of Neo Arcadia by the Neo Arcadian Government in Mega Man Zero 2. Under his guidance, Neo Arcadia continues to route out the Resistance. He tries to stop Elpizo from freeing the Dark Elf, but succumbs to the power of the Baby Cyber Elves, transforming into Armed Phenomenon, a form resembles a flying machine. After his defeat by Zero's hand, he pleads with Zero to protect X's body. In Mega Man Zero 3, Harpuia recoveres after his defeat at the Temple of Wind and later took part in a Mission to investigate a fallen spaceship, in which resided the banished Reploid, Omega. He soon follows the newly created Copy X-MkII by the hands of Dr. Weil, but later revolts after Copy X's death. Harpuia, along with Fefnir and Leviathan, help to battle Omega, and die under Omega's explosion.
Harpuia also appears in the manga adaption of the series. He is the final general to fight Zero and the first to use cyber elves. He's no longer based off X, but a new generation reploid, incapable of being infected with the maverick virus. He later merges with the other three generals to form the "ultimate reploid" and is destroyed by Zero.
