In Mega Man X5, the entire enemy roster is named after the members of Guns n' Roses, and all with animal themes. Frankly, it's both the highest and lowest level of punnery ever accomplished, with Squid Adler and Duff McWhalen being particularly clever/nauseating.

Slash's namesake is Grizzly Slash, a robot bear which I think we can all agree is pretty badass. He is a robotic weapons dealer, and ironically something a pacifist. Both the rebel robotic forces and the regular army that hunts them are too violent for his tastes, but when the Maverick Virus that turns robots rogue begins to infect him, X and Zero must battle him in order to gain a special item.

In Chrono Trigger a trio of magical henchmen named after famous musicians serves the dark wizard Magus. Appropriately, it's the mystic swordsman Slash that bears Saul Hudson's nickname, and his physical attack power is a formidable obstacle. He is accompanied by Ozzie, a master of traps, and Flea, a powerful magician.

Originally, their names were puns on condiments because, well, Japan. Slash was soy sauce, Ozzie was vinegar and Flea was mayonnaise. (Pity the famous bassist.) Badass sorcerer that Flea is, the character is a transvestite whom you can steal a bra from and can turn males characters against the party with a magical flirt. Again, Japan.

Slash's ex-wife Renee Hudson has also made a small mark in the world of video games. Her naked back actually serves as the character-selection screen of Tattoo Assassins, famous for its numerous and often ridiculous fatalities.
