Mega Man X (known as Rockman X in Japan) is a series of action-platformer games developed by Capcom.
In the year 21XX, Mega Man X, the last creation of the late Dr. Light, is discovered by Dr. Cain. Amazed by X's design, Cain develops a series of robots based on X's design, known as Reploids (Repliroids in Japan). Eventually, some Reploids begin to rebel against their human masters. These rebels are known as Mavericks (Irregulars in Japan). To combat the Maverick threat, an organization of Reploids known as the Maverick Hunters is created. Mega Man X, joined by fellow robot Zero, fight against the Mavericks and their leader, former Maverick Hunter Sigma.

Mega Man X
Mega Man X (known as Rockman X in Japan) is the first game in the series. It was originally released for the Super Famicom in 1993.
A rare enemy known as the Gulpfer appears in Launch Octopus's stage. This fish-like mechaniloid will suck in X if he gets too close, swallowing X whole. While inside the Gulpfer, X will slowly take damage. However, X can easily get out by either shooting his way out or jumping repeatedly. Gulpfers reappear in the third stage of Sigma's fortress.
