Pluto (プルート Purūto) is one of the second four Stardroids that Mega Man must fight in Mega Man V. Pluto was designed for jungle combat, and as his appearance suggests, he has very quick reflexes and is agile like a feline. Dr. Wily later used Pluto's design schematics as the inspiration for Slash Man's design. His main weapon is the Break Dash, which allows him to dash at supersonic speed over short distances and temporarily become immune to damage while doing so. Pluto can also slash enemies up close with the claws on his knuckles, cling onto walls, and fire two types of energy shots from his hands: shockwave/fireball-type projectiles and a bigger homing shot. Despite his appearance, Pluto dislikes the cold. He enjoys taking care of his claws with regular manicures and sometimes tries his hand at nail art as well, but he is somewhat vain and gets annoyed when his claws get damaged in combat, and he dislikes pedicures due to his feet not having nails. He does not get along with Mercury, one possible reason being because he is weak to Mercury's weapon, the Grab Buster.
