'''Metal Face''' ({{ja|黒いフェイス|Kuroi Feisu}}, ''Black Face'') is a major antagonist in {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}}.

Metal Face first appeared in ''{{iw|xenoserieswiki|Xenoblade Chronicles}}'' during the attack on [[Shulk]]'s hometown, {{s|xenoserieswiki|Colony 9}}. He is immediately identified as the biggest threat, but nothing can be done to stop him; he easily destroys all the weaponry used against him and kills many {{s|xenoserieswiki|Homs}}, including Shulk's childhood friend [[Fiora]]. During the attack, Metal Face displays unusual cunning for a {{s|xenoserieswiki|Mechon}} and an immunity to the [[Monado]], which is otherwise the only weapon that can harm Mechon, making him practically invincible. After the attack is over, Shulk leaves Colony 9 to chase him down for revenge. When they next meet, he shows that he can speak by taunting Shulk over enjoying his killings, and only leaves because of external interference. It is later revealed that Metal Face is a shell controlled by {{s|xenoserieswiki|Mumkhar}}, a traitorous former war buddy of [[Dunban]] who was presumed dead after the Battle of {{s|xenoserieswiki|Sword Valley}}, and doesn't particularly care for the orders he's given, as long as he gets the Monado in the end.

Metal Face first appeared as a shadow at the end of [[Shulk]]'s [[List of Super Smash Bros. 4 character trailers#Shulk|reveal trailer]], teasing his role as a stage hazard on [[Gaur Plain]], which was confirmed in the {{h2|Nintendo Direct|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza}} Direct.

He doesn't actively pursue fighters, but if you get too close, you'll taste the deadly bite of his claws. Watch out for his laser attack too—it can destroy parts of the stage itself!
