Mav Energy
a strange energy that seems to flow though Mavericks, Reploids can sense this energy to determin weather or not a machine is a Maverick or not, in the Megaman Battle Guardian I: Hunters of Memory, if you equip a certin CPU you can collect Mav Energy and use it to make weapons, armor, other CPUs and even realy powerful items.
Cyber Elves
digital entities which hold a physical form, Cyber Elves are used to interface encrypted terminals that Reploids and Robots, can't access, it's not know how Cyber Elves came to be or how they are created and it's not know if they can be infected with a Maverick Virus, there has been no reports of Maverick Cyber Elves however there is speculation that the High Order Maverick named Varyal Void maybe a Cyber Elf inside a Reploid Body.
