"Ready to tangle with Duckbill Mole?"
―Duckbill Mole, Mega Man X: Command Mission

Duckbill Mole (ダックビルモール Dakkubiru Mōru) is a secret boss in Mega Man X: Command Mission. He is a Reploid based on a platypus who guards the Absolute Zero Hyper Mode for the Rebellion Army.[1]

Characteristics[]

Duckbill Mole resembles a platypus, being a stocky Reploid with a large bill and flipper-like feet. He also possesses a beaver-like tail and wears a spiked helmet. He is equipped with a hammer called Naguru D (ナグールD Nagūru D) and has a drilling Mechaniloid called K-Ball (ホール・ド・K Hōru do K) attached to his back. Oddly enough, during his battle there are actually two identical Duckbill Moles to fight, one of them being a clone.[2]

Duckbill exhibits eccentric behavior, and with the Rebellion symbol embedded on his forehead, could indicate that he's truly gone Maverick. Besides this small duty, and considering he was locked in a secret room, he was likely not deemed that useful of an asset to the Rebellion.

History[]

Duckbill Mole resides within the Missile Maintenance Room on the top floors of the Melda Ore Plant, where he was stationed by the Rebellion to guard the Absolute Zero upgrade. This secret room can only be accessed using the Melda Key found via the Deployment Center. Defeating him gives Zero access to his special Hyper Mode treasure.

  • Duckbill Mole is one of two Reploids based on a platypus, the other being Professor Gaudile.

    • The bosses that Axl can copy with A-Trans form eight Mavericks total. However, Duckbill Mole is the only of the three secret bosses whom Axl can't imitate.
