| - Akrid X possesses powerful regenerative abilities and a range of devastating attacks, many of which are fire-based. When parts of its body are damaged or destroyed, it regrows them using tentacles made of T-ENG that eventually harden and form a new carapace. While remaining in one place for most of the fight, it is capable of changing it's orientation or it's position on the arena by leaping into the air with it's wings. This may be how it entered orbit in the first place. First encountered in Episode 2, it appears when the NEVEC special ops force called Task Force First Descent attempts to seize the Railway Gun from the Carpetbaggers. It swipes the Carpetbaggers' GAN-36 VS's out of the air and begins to attack the railway gun. A wounded Carpetbagger fires the pre-loaded cannon directly into Akrid X's head at point blank, blowing off its head, right leg and half of its right wing. The train then leaves the city, leaving Task Force First Descent stranded. Then, suddenly, the Akrid begins to regenerate itself and attacks the four NEVEC troopers, initiating an epic Category G boss battle. After its health bar is fully depleted, it regenerates itself yet again, though now with only 70% of his health and significantly lower defenses. After defeating it a second time, Akrid X falls over dead - this time for good. Just after the fight, a NEVEC commander and his troops move in to gather up the thermal energy that the dead Category G has spilled and subdue the surviving Carpetbaggers as the Commander sends Task Force First Descent on its next mission.
