| abstract | - Bospider (ボスパイダー Bosupaidā?, portmanteau of "boss" and "spider"), known as Bosspider in the remake Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, is the giant spider boss at the end of the first part of the final stages in Mega Man X and Mega Man Xtreme. It was once used to crush scrap metal before being roped into guarding Sigma Palace. It releases mini spider robots and creates random paths down its four rails to crush X, so the player must stay on the move. Its method of navigation is a parody of Japanese lot-drawing, or Amidakuji. It has strong defense, but a red core on its abdomen, its weak point, will be exposed when it hits the ground. In Mega Man X, its main weakness is Shotgun Ice (along with Magnet Mine in Mega Man Xtreme), but it is difficult to hit the boss with it (or the Hadouken) in time to hit the core when it appears, as it is only exposed for a short time. When it dies in the remake, Maverick Hunter X, it rolls over onto its back and tucks its legs to its body before exploding (a common misconception of how spiders die in real life. In fact, spiders never roll onto their backs, but stay upright while tucking their legs under their body). __TOC__
- Bospider will go down the Kujibiki and will stop to open its red core. It'll then go up and summon mini-spiders.
