In Mega Man X3
Gravity Beetle (Gravity Beetbood in Japanese) is a Maverick based on a Japanese rhinoceros beetle in Mega Man X3.
He has a brother named Boomer Kuwanger, a stag beetle-based Maverick in Mega Man X. After the death of Kuwanger, Gravity Beetle joined Dr. Doppler's army.
Mega Man X3
Similar to fighting Wood Man in Mega Man 2, Gravity Beetle will jump on a space as he cannot walk at all. Sometimes, Beetle can throw a Gravity Well to make things difficult. This can be cancelled when Mega Man X shoots him with Ray Splasher. Other Gravity Wells can be annoying to X. Once he's creating a large dead lift, this is very annoying, so X has to use Ray Splasher repeatedly to let Beetle cancel this. If he's close to the wall, X should wall kick and jump over him. Later, Beetle can dash at X, causing bad damage.
