::'''Ground Scaravich'''
He is a Reploid treasure hunter modeled after a dung beetle, who was wanted by the Maverick Hunters for damaging historic ruins. In his work he discovered a lot of data on ancient robots and Gate assisted him in exchange for this information. When Gate sent Scaravich to a forbidden area (the laboratory where X was discovered), Alia was forced to intercept and dispose of him. She felt bad for doing this, but Gate appeared to not have cared about what happened to him. He was later resurrected by Gate in ''X6'' as part of his Nightmare Investigation team.

::'''Infinity Mijinon'''
He is a water flea-based Reploid created by Gate to test pilot large manned weaponry. Mijinion was often arrogant and hasty, and would completely ignore the testing program, which put many of his associates in peril. Eventually Mijinion was killed in a sabotaged test that was made to look like an accident. Later on, during the Nightmare incident, Gate revived Mijinion as an investigator and sent him to a weapons manufacturing plant. Once there, Mijinion immediately began constructing a massive weapon called Illumina.

::'''Metal Shark Player'''
He is a hammerhead shark-based Reploid created by Gate to work as member of a recycling research team. His job was to oversee the analysis and control of DNA at the facility and was very skilled in his work. Player's abilities in DNA analysis soon led him to experiment in the recreation of Reploids using the DNA of retired Mavericks. Gate still used and encouraged his work despite "DNA Resurrection" being deemed illegal by the government. Player's activities were eventually discovered and he was disposed of as punishment. Gate later revives him as one of his Nightmare Investigators, putting him back in charge of the recycling plant.

::'''Rainy Turtloid'''
He is a turtle-based Reploid created by Gate as a member of a water quality research team. He was designed to explore areas with high levels of pollution too great for humans and other Reploids to investigate. As such, his defense systems were greatly heightened. However, concerns grew that his defensive capabilities were too great, and the other researchers demanded he be weakened. Gate refused to comply, and as a result, Rainy Turtloid took his own life so as not to be burden to his creator. He was later revived by Gate to serve as one of his "Nightmare Investigators".

::'''Shield Sheldon'''
He was a giant clam-based Reploid created by Gate to serve as a bodyguard for important people (mainly chiefs of other research institutes). Shieldon feels he failed in his job as bodyguard when Dr. Jim, a laser researcher he was protecting, went Maverick. Sheldon had no choice but to dispose of Jim, but his actions were misinterpreted by the Maverick Hunters that arrived on the scene and he was charged as a Maverick himself. He could not deal with the stress and shame of the incident deciding to take his own life, believing that he was useless. He was later resurrected by Gate to examine the Nightmare. Seeing this as a second chance, he tries to fulfill his duty as a bodyguard protecting Gate, even at the costs of his life again.

::'''All'''
* BackFromTheDead: They've been mentioned as being dead long before the events in the game, and they're revived by Gate.
* DesignatedVillain: At least in the backstory, about half of these guys are otherwise nice guys who gets framed and/or disposed of just because they're too strong. Meanwhile the other half are quite nutjobs.
::'''Blaze Heatnix'''
He is a phoenix-based Reploid created by Gate to withstand extremely hot temperatures. Later he became a member of a disaster prevention team created to respond to increased activity from active volcanoes. However, because Heatnix was so much more powerful than the other members, he would ignore his coworkers (seeing them as weak and useless) in dangerous situations, disregard them if they ran into danger, resulting in many losses. Gate was demanded to weaken Heatnix to keep him on par with the other members, but Gate ignored these requests. As a result, Heatnix was eventually disposed of for his behavior. Gate later revived him to use him in the Nightmare investigation, and sent him to the magma area.

He is a wolf-based Reploid that was created by Gate. He was the leader of an investigation team stationed at the North Pole Area. One day, his team members were attacked by Mavericks and all were killed, except Wolfang, who was able to dispose of all the Mavericks himself. Researchers who opposed Gate took advantage of the incident and schemed to dispose Wolfang, deceiving Alia into throwing him into the cold sea, making it look like an accident. Gate later revives Wolfang, making him part of his Nightmare Investigation team.

He is a dragonfly-themed Reploid created by Gate, to lead an observation team for a nature preservation project. He has an understandable paranoia and distrust of Reploid researchers, and, for unknown reasons, Maverick Hunters. While on duty he accidentally set a fire that burnt a large portion of the forest. Sometime later, his flight system was sabotaged during maintenance, leading to a fatal crash and his death. Gate resurrects him later on to aid in the investigation of the Nightmares.

In his work he discovered a lot of data on ancient robots and Gate assisted him in exchange for this information. When Gate sent Scaravich to a forbidden area (the laboratory where X was discovered), Alia was forced to intercept and dispose of him. She felt bad for doing this, but Gate appeared to not have cared about what happened to him. He was later resurrected by Gate in ''X6'' as part of his Nightmare Investigation team.

::'''Infinity Mijinon'''
He is a water flea-based Reploid created by Gate to test pilot large manned weaponry. Mijinion was often arrogant and hasty, and would completely ignore the testing program, which put many of his associates in peril. Eventually Mijinion was killed in a sabotaged test that was made to look like an accident. Later on, during the Nightmare incident, Gate revived Mijinion as an investigator and sent him to a weapons manufacturing plant.

::'''Metal Shark Player'''
He is a hammerhead shark-based Reploid created by Gate to work as member of a recycling research team. His job was to oversee the analysis and control of DNA at the facility and was very skilled in his work. Player's abilities in DNA analysis soon led him to experiment in the recreation of Reploids using the DNA of retired Mavericks. Gate still used and encouraged his work despite "DNA Resurrection" being deemed illegal by the government. Player's activities were eventually discovered and he was disposed of as punishment. Gate later revives him as one of his Nightmare Investigators, putting him back in charge of the recycling plant.

::'''Rainy Turtloid'''
He is a turtle-based Reploid created by Gate as a member of a water quality research team. He was designed to explore areas with high levels of pollution too great for humans and other Reploids to investigate. As such, his defense systems were greatly heightened. However, concerns grew that his defensive capabilities were too great, and the other researchers demanded he be weakened. Gate refused to comply, and as a result, Rainy Turtloid took his own life so as not to be burden to his creator. He was later revived by Gate to serve as one of his "Nightmare Investigators".

::'''Shield Sheldon'''
He was a giant clam-based Reploid created by Gate to serve as a bodyguard for important people (mainly chiefs of other research institutes). Shieldon feels he failed in his job as bodyguard when Dr. Jim, a laser researcher he was protecting, went Maverick. Sheldon had no choice but to dispose of Jim, but his actions were misinterpreted by the Maverick Hunters that arrived on the scene and he was charged as a Maverick himself. He could not deal with the stress and shame of the incident deciding to take his own life, believing that he was useless. He was later resurrected by Gate to examine the Nightmare. Seeing this as a second chance, he tries to fulfill his duty as a bodyguard protecting Gate, even at the costs of his life again.
