Enemy
From Mega Man Wiki
An enemy is a video game term referring to non-playable entities that pose a challenge or serve as an obstacle to the player's character. Enemies can be found in nearly every single game in the Mega Man franchise.
There are multiple types of enemies in video games:
- A minor enemy, or "zako" (ザコ)[1] in Japan, is a weaker but more numerous type of enemy. They can often be defeated without too much effort from the player, and populate most of the game's combat encounters.
- A mid-boss (中ボス)[1] is a stronger type of enemy. They appear at set points in the game to offer the player a larger challenge, though there can still be multiple in a single stage or area.
- A boss (ボス) is the strongest type of enemy. They normally appear as the climactic encounter of a stage or area, offering the player a final challenge before they can advance the story or receive some other reward.
