- "You'll never beat my evolved form!"
- ―Mad Nautilus, Mega Man X: Command Mission
Mad Nautilus (マッドノーチラス Maddo Nōchirasu) is Dr. Psyche's second form in Mega Man X: Command Mission. After Dr. Psyche is defeated in Gaudile Laboratory, his head detaches from his body and connects to a mechanical nautilus. Mad Nautilus has a powerful shield that automatically counters any attacks performed on it. Eventually, the shield will drop as he charges up for the attack, Mad Ecstasy, allowing for the Hunters to attack without retaliation for a bit.
Mad Nautilus is encountered again in the Far East HQ, along with other revived/recreated members of the Rebellion Army.

Trivia[]
- An early version of what would become Dr.Psyche's Mad Nautilus form was more of an enormous quadropedal battle platform. Rather than his head attaching to it, Dr. Psyche's original body attached to the platform's underside by the neck, causing his body to dangle underneath it.
- Coincidentally, the unused form strongly resembles Osmund Saddler's plaga form in Resident Evil 4.
- Mad Nautilus is the only boss which X's theme, "Fight X!", is played during the boss battle (but only during the first encounter with him).
- Mad Nautilus is so far the only boss from Mega Man X: Command Mission to be a boss in Mega Man X DiVE.
