Childre Inarabitta
- "What a pain you are! I thought you'd be easier to scare off than that! No more games. I'm Childre Inarabitta, of Weil's Numbers! I'll see that smug face of yours frozen with fear!"
- ―Childre Inarabitta, Mega Man Zero 3
Childre Inarabitta (チルドレ・イナラビッタ Chirudore Inarabitta) is a boss in Mega Man Zero 3. He is a Mutos Reploid based on the White Hare of Inaba from the Kojiki book, and was once the Left Ice Judge (左氷審官 Sahyō Shinkan)[2][3] of the Eight Gentle Judges.
Characteristics[]
Appearance[]
In his Judge form, Childre is a short, child-like humanoid figure with a white robe. In his Punishment form, Childre has a rabbit-like body possessing short forelimbs and long back legs with huge feet. He has light blue ears sticking out of his head, which can emit giant icicles. His small frame is for high-speed maneuvers, being able to spring and pounce freely on water. His body also possesses a cooling system which allows him to manipulate cold environments in order to prevent his body from overheating, in turn allowing him to create freezing attacks.
Personality[]
During his time on the Council, Childre was known to have had a playful demeanor and had a strained relationship with Blazin' Flizard, possibly clashing with Flizard's seriousness. As a brainwashed member of the Weil Numbers, Childre values destruction, and doesn't hesitate to use anything at his disposal to accomplish a mission. He also wants people to get with the times and accept Weil's ideals as the status quo, taunting the legendary Maverick Hunter that he won't catch up to a future that has left him behind.
History[]
Childre Inarabitta was formerly the Left Ice Judge of the Eight Gentle Judges, participating in the Screaming Interrogation trials. However, when Dr. Weil returned, Inarabitta was brainwashed and remodeled as part of the Weil Numbers.
Childre was deployed to capture the Dark Elf when she was located in the Oceanic Highway Ruins, piloting a drilling submarine to give pursuit. He runs into Zero, and a race breaks out to reach the Dark Elf first. However, both of them are slowed down enough for the Dark Elf to escape. Childre is annoyed by Zero's persistence and attacks, but is destroyed.
Childre was resurrected in Weil's Research Laboratory for a rematch. He taunted Zero for being an old Reploid that could never catch up with Dr. Weil's plans, but was destroyed.
Strategy[]
Throughout the stage, Childre attacks with homing torpedoes and exploding ice mines via a small submarine vehicle, which can only go as high as the water's surface. Zero has to find and stand on switches that decrease the water level to hinder the vehicle's path before Childre destroys them. Standing on all switches will decrease the water level in the stage and the boss battle to the lowest.
During the battle itself, Childre can throw ice blades from his ears and dive at Zero using the sharp ice in his ears. At A or S rank, he will use Super Ear Shot, where a larger ice blade is fired from his ears. Defeating him will give Zero the Ice Body chip, and if the player is at A or S rank, the Throw Blade ability.

Etymology[]
