- "The torso of the massive excavator robot with fitted with a giant bomb to destroy the Resistance base from within. The machine easily tore through solid rock as it took a beeline plunge towards its target."
- ―Hittite Hottaid's card description from TEPPEN
Hittite Hottaid (ヒッタイト・ホッタイド Hittaito Hottaido) is a giant underground mining Mechaniloid boss from Mega Man Zero. It was originally created to collect underground minerals.[1][2] It appears in the mid-game Mission "Prevent Giant Mechaniloid Invasion".[3]
History[]
Equipped with a bomb as an assault tank and sent by Neo Arcadia to attack the Resistance Base, the Mechaniloid starts its assault landing in near the Disposal Center, in front of the room where Zero fought Aztec Falcon. It digs its way to the base and is set to self-destruct upon arrival. Besides the lethal spinning drill in front of it, it can attack with explosives, releases Gli-Eyes, and has numerous Pantheons inside.
After its defeat, Zero receives the Cyber-elf Stoctto; additionally, a secret area containing another Cyber-elf, Hapitan, can be found if the player allows the machine to drill through the yellow building in the center of the mission. However, if Zero fails, either by not being able to prevent the mech from reaching the base or aborting, the mission with Hanumachine follows immediately afterwards.

Etymology[]
- The former name "Hittite" is similar to Hittites.
- The latter name "Hottaid" is probably a combination of the words, "horu" (掘る, dig) and "Mechaniloid". In addition, more similar conjugations are "hotta" (掘った, dug), "horitai" (掘りた��, want to dig), "hottaru" (掘ったる, will dig in Kansai dialect), and others.
Trivia[]
- Hittite Hottaid, Pantheon Ace, and Albert's throne are the only bosses in the Mega Man Zero and ZX series who display the Warning message but don't display their life gauges.
- This is the only boss in the Mega Man Zero series that has a higher total life meter if the player is at A/S rank.
- Except for the final bosses, Hittite Hottaid is the boss with the most health, and among all bosses in the Mega Man Zero series it is second only to Omega.
