Bamboo Pandamonium (Bamboo Pandemonium in the Japanese version) is one of the eight Maverick bosses from Mega Man X8.
Pandamonium was a new-generation Reploid who was in charge of a rocket facility in the Booster Forest. When the facility got deactivated, Pandamonium decided to stay there, eventually turning Maverick after realizing who most of history was spent on creating destructive things. He joins Sigma's rebellion, believing the world itself seeks to be destroyed.
Pandamonium fights by shooting rockets and grenades, also summoning bamboo drills from the ground which he promptly smashes while running forward. If the player gets too close, he will throw a barrage of punches which cause massive damage. When low on health, he will charge and throw a powerful lunge which can easily kill the player automatically and is very tough to dodge, requiring precise timing to be avoided. His weakness is the Melt Creeper.
