Metal Face is one of the main villains from Xenoblade Chronicles. He is a Mechon piloted by Mumkhar.

Background[]

Once an envious and cowardly man from a colony that had previously been destroyed by the Mechon, Mumkhar was one of Dunban's biggest friends and comrades. During the battle of Sword Valley, he fought hard against the Mechon, but after seeing Dunban foolishly risking his life, he tried to run away, but he was captured by the Mechon, who turned him into a bioweapon designed to exploit the Monado's one weakness at the time; being incapable of harming living beings from the Bionis.

After he was given that makeover, Mumkhar found a new ambition in getting revenge on Dunban for overshadowing him, and obatining the Monado for himself. He was responsible for the attack on Colony 9, which caused the deaths of many, incluiding Shulk's childhood friend, Fiora. Doing this led Shulk to begin his jorney.

Metal Face's Equipment[]

  • Claws: Metal Face's main method of attack consists of melee attacks with Metal Face's huge claws, which can effortlessly pierce extremely durable materials used for military weaponry. Later in the story, these claws are upgraded, being imbued with deadly Ether that can insta-kill any being from the Bionis, incluiding Arglas, the last of the Giants, and original vessel for Zanza.
  • Ether Cannon: Metal Face has a large cannon on his back, which can shoots powerful blasts of Ether energy. It can also shoot a very powerful laser.
  • Ether Spear: A special spear imbued with Ether that can destroy life from the Bionis.

Mumkhar's Equipment[]

  • Steel Claws: Mumkhar's weapons of choice, they are pretty standard weapons, incapable of harming other Mechon. They have an Unbeatable Gem, which gives Mumkhar a 100% chance of surviving attacks that would normally kill him in one hit.
  • Fire Claws: Mumkhar's weapons after being turned into a Mechon, they have fiery properties, and are a lot stronger than his old claws. They may be an upgraded version of them, but it is unknown if they still have the Unbeatable Gem equipped on them.
