Enemies

Minor Enemies

Name	Sprite	Description	HP	Damage	Stage(s)
Aloha Dodonpa		A cannon hidden under a palm tree. When Mega Man approaches, it reveals itself and stats shooting straight forward at a slow rate. The tree must be destroyed separately, and Mega Man can stand on the cannon once the tree is gone.	3 (cannon) 6 (tree)	4 (contact) 3 (projectiles)	Opening Stage
Ammoner		An ammonite that lashes at Mega Man with its tentacles on land or swims back and forth in water. It can be shot to push it around and can roll down slopes and squash other enemies, but is destroyed if it falls on non-sloped ground. Attacking its exposed side instantly makes it retreat into its shell and drop.	N/A	4	Opening Stage, Underwater Stage
Batton M64		A bat that sometimes starts on the ceiling and takes some time to wake up, then chases Mega Man. Unlike other Batton versions, it does not return to the ceiling, and also has the ability to turn into a drill and quickly drop down. Can only be harmed while it is awake and not in drill form.	1	2 (normal), 4 (falling), 3 (static drill)	Ice Stage, Base Stage, Ruins Stage, Wily Stage 2
Batton Mommy and Petit Batton		A Batton M64 that is found around Petit Battons, smaller versions of itself that follow it around. Both the Mommy and Petit Battons can launch themselves forward as a drill, rather than dropping down.	1	3	Ruins Stage
Big Telly		A giant Telly R that flies forward and swoops down, dropping many bombs before going up again and stopping. Some will release two regular Telly Rs when they stop.	4	5 (contact) 3 (bomb)	Ice Stage, Base Stage, Wily Stage 1, Wily Stage 3
Brambles		A stationary, thorny metal vine that deflects shots and harms Mega Man on contact. The Flame Sword can destroy it, though it will respawn like other enemies.	1	3	Forest Stage
Bunby Tank DX		Drives left and right and periodically stops to turn towards Mega Man and fire two rockets forward if he is near. Its body and head have a separate health pool - if the body is destroyed first, its head separates as a flying Bunby Top DX, which follows Mega Man.	4 (body) 3 (top) 1 (rockets)	4 (contact) 3 (rockets)	Opening Stage, Ice Stage, Amusement Park Stage, Forest Stage, Wily Stage 1, Wily Stage 3
Bunby Top DX		The head of a Bunby Tank DX that separates after its body is destroyed. It slowly follows Mega Man, periodically stopping. The Tops appear by themselves in the Rush Jet section of Sky Stage (Mega Man 8), spawning from hatches and flying towards Mega Man.	3	4	Opening Stage, Sky Stage, Ice Stage, Amusement Park Stage, Forest Stage, Wily Stage 1, Wily Stage 3
Cline B		A Chinese dragon that wiggles across the screen in certain pattern in the Rush Jet sections. Destroying any segment other than the head cuts off its tail at that point, but focusing on the head destroys it fully.	9 (head) 2 (segment)	6	Sky Stage, Wily Stage 2
Cline G		A Chinese dragon that wiggles towards Mega Man in the Rush Jet sections. If left intact for too long, it curls up and self-destructs, sending its harmful body segments flying. Destroying any segment other than the head cuts off its tail at that point, but focusing on the head destroys it fully.	9 (head) 2 (segment)	6	Sky Stage
Count Bomb CD		A red Count Bomb GEO that sprout legs and falls down when activated, walking around until it explodes.	N/A	6 (explosion)	Base Stage, Underwater Stage, Wily Stage 3
Count Bomb GEO		A stationary platform that slowly counts down when Mega Man steps on its pressure plate and explodes when the counter reaches zero.	N/A	6 (explosion)	Base Stage, Underwater Stage, Wily Stage 3
Crunchran		An enemy that resembles a moving hole, which glides across the ground and follows Mega Man. When he is on top, a crocodile maw comes out and snaps at him. Most weapons can only hit it during its brief attack animation.	1	6	Alternate Dimension Stage
Dodonpa Cannon		A stationary cannon that can turn and fire at various angles. The cannonballs fly in an arc and can be destroyed.	3 (contact) 1 (cannonball)	4 (contact) 3 (cannonball)	Sky Stage, Amusement Park Stage, Base Stage, Duo Stage, Wily Stage 1, Wily Stage 2
Fire Metall		A Metall with a flame on its head. It simply walks forward, jumping off platforms when it gets to the edge. If it walks past a fuse in Base Stage, the fuse is lit, potentially blowing up the bomb blocks it is attached to.	3	4	Base Stage, Ruins Stage, Wily Stage 1
Goriblue		A stationary, gorilla-like enemy that periodically throws bombs at Mega Man in an arc, which explode harmlessly on the ground. If Mega Man is in the air, it will throw in a lower arc. The bombs can be destroyed by damage.	6 (Goriblue) 1 (bombs)	6 (contact) 4 (bomb)	Forest Stage, Wily Stage 3
Gorigree		A stationary, gorilla-like enemy that periodically throws spike balls at Mega Man, which are always thrown in a low arc and explode harmlessly when they touch something. They can be destroyed by damage, but have more health than the Goriblue's bombs.	6 (Gorigree) 2 (spike ball)	6 (contact) 4 (spike ball)	Forest Stage, Wily Stage 3
Gorigro		A stationary, gorilla-like enemy that drops a rock in front of it, then starts throwing bombs diagonally downward, which explode harmlessly when they hit a wall. The rock can be stood on, and both rock and bombs can be destroyed by damage.	6 (Gorigro) 1 (bombs) 6 (rock)	6 (contact) 4 (bomb) 4 (rock)	Forest Stage, Wily Stage 3
Hannya Attacker		A Shield Attacker with a hannya mask. Flies left and right within a set range and can only be harmed by attacking from behind. Groups of them appear in the Rush Jet sections, flying in from the right and sometimes making a bend as they leave again.	3	5	Sky Stage, Wily Stage 2
Hogale		A giant whale airship with different behaviours. In Ice Stage, it hovers in place and drops blocks, which are then knocked forward by machines on the ground. In Sky Stage (Mega Man 8), it flies across and drops large numbers of Metall SVs. In the Rush Jet sections, Hogales appear suddenly from above or below, stop in place and release many Tencrows from their mouth, then fly forward to ram Mega Man.	10	6 (contact) 8 (blocks)	Sky Stage, Ice Stage, Wily Stage 2
Joe Classic		A Joe with a shield like the traditional Sniper Joe, which protects its front. It may shoot forward, jump up at random, or lob a grenade and wait for it to explode, putting its shield away during any of these. It can be hurt from above or below with special weapons, and the Arrow Shot or Laser Shot upgrade for the Mega Buster can penetrate its shield.	5 (Joe) 1 (grenade)	6 (contact) 3 (projectile) 5 (grenade)	Amusement Park Stage, Base Stage, Duo Stage, Underwater Stage, Wily Stage 2, Wily Stage 3
Kaizock		A stubby pirate robot that walks forward, walking off platforms and stopping at walls before turning around. Some hang from the ceiling on one arm, swinging back and forth and launching barrages of small pirate birds forward.	2 (Kaizock) 1 (birds)	4 (contact) 2 (birds)	Amusement Park Stage
Kao De Kāna		Stone statue heads on tank tracks that drive left and right. They are often dropped in small groups from hatches on the ceiling, either automatically or if a certain switch is stepped on.	2	3	Ruins Stage
Kao Ga Mēda		A tall, mallet-like contraption with a single eye that resides in lava. It remains in the background, but can move to the platform Mega Man is standing on and slam down on it, briefly causing it to sink into the lava. It deals no direct damage to Mega Man, and shots go past it.	N/A	N/A	Ruins Stage
Kao Na Gāna		Totem-like statues with a flame on top that periodically turn around to spit fire forward. Some erupt into an instant-kill lava stream upwards instead. Ice Wave can freeze them temporarily, which also destroys the lava streams.	6	6 (flame) 4 (fire projectile)	Ruins Stage
Kemumakin		A harmless enemy that flies across the screen in an arc, releasing coloured smoke that obscures part of the action. Comes in three colours.	2	N/A	Sky Stage, Ice Stage, Wily Stage 1
Kikyoon		A small flying fortress piloted by Rompers. It flies overhead and occasionally drops capsules with Rompers inside, which open up after a short time. The balloons and platform have a separate set of hitpoints, though only one needs to be destroyed.	5	3	Amusement Park Stage
Metall SV		Hides under its helmet until Mega Man comes near, then shoots bullets in three directions and wanders around, hiding again after some time or when Mega Man leaves. It is invulnerable while hiding.	1	3 (contact) 3 (projectiles)	Opening Stage, Sky Stage, Ice Stage, Amusement Park Stage, Duo Stage, Alternate Dimension Stage, Forest Stage, Underwater Stage, Wily Stage 3
Metrenger		Worms that spawn from indestructible hatches on the ceiling and crawl around. They are hard to hit on some of their animation frames. Some hatches spawn endless amounts, while others only drop a single one.	1	3	Amusement Park Stage, Base Stage, Wily Stage 2
Monopellan		A helicopter enemy that hovers up and down in place or within in a set horizontal range, aiming and shooting at Mega Man.	2	4 (contact) 3 (projectile)	Sky Stage, Amusement Park Stage, Base Stage, Duo Stage, Alternate Dimension Stage, Underwater Stage, Wily Stage 1
Muragattori		A robotic bird that flies in a sine wave pattern. They spawn infinitely in some areas.	1	3	Forest Stage
Onbuubattan		A grasshopper carrying a smaller one. They jump around together, but destroying one may leave the other intact. They are flat and difficult to hit while on the ground.	2 (big) 1 (small)	3	Alternate Dimension Stage, Forest Stage
Penpen EV		A penguin that spins in place on the ground, then quickly slides forward, slowing down until it stops and spins again. Mega Man's shots can knock it around.	4	3	Ice Stage
Potom		A ceiling-mounted cannon that shoots slime downwards, which remains as a puddle on the floor that lingers for a short time. The puddle does not harm Mega Man, but he can get stuck in it. Two variations exist: a stationary one (Potom No. 1) and a moving one (Potom No. 2).	3	1 (contact)	Alternate Dimension Stage, Wily Stage 3
Propeller mine		A spiky mine that floats in the air with a propeller. Some are stationary, while others fly back and forth in a certain range. Deflects shots and cannot be destroyed.	N/A	8	Sky Stage, Forest Stage, Underwater Stage
Rabbiton		An ice-skating rabbit robot that slides along the ground in the auto-scrolling ski sections, pirouetting occasionally.	3	3	Ice Stage, Wily Stage 1
Rompers		Small toy soldiers that latch on to Mega Man, temporarily immobilising him and draining his energy.	1	1 per tick	Amusement Park Stage
Shell'n		A clam that periodically opens up to release three bubbles, which go forward a bit and float up. It is only vulnerable while attacking, and only by hitting its pearl from the front.	4 (Shell'n) 1 (bubbles)	3	Underwater Stage
Shupponpon		A toy train that emerges from tunnels and rides along rails, destroying other enemies in its way. Mega Man can stand on its roof, allowing him to cross rails that he would otherwise fall through, but other parts of the train are dangerous to touch. The Flame Sword can destroy it.	N/A	5	Amusement Park Stage
Shururun		A robot that jumps straight up from pits at regular intervals. It respawns infinitely, no matter how many are destroyed.	1	3	Base Stage, Alternate Dimension Stage, Wily Stage 2
Spinning Gabyoall		Moves back and forth on a platform, speeding up while Mega Man is at the same height. Shots will briefly stun it, but only Ice Wave can destroy it.	1	5	Base Stage, Alternate Dimension Stage, Forest Stage, Underwater Stage, Wily Stage 2, Wily Stage 3
Succubatton		A vampiric Batton M64 that can dive for Mega Man, latching onto him and draining his health. If it misses or is done draining, it flies upward and leaves.	1	4 (contact) 2 (drain per tick)	Ruins Stage
Surumaker		A squid robot that pursues Mega Man in bursts, swimming in place between movements.	3	3	Underwater Stage
Sydecka		A massive, stationary beast that periodically releases three missiles from its back, which fall down in front of it. It can also fire the drill on its head straight forward, which deflects shots.	12 (Sydecka) 1 (missiles)	6 (contact) 4 (missiles) 6 (drill)	Forest Stage
Telly R		A spinning robot that slowly floats towards Mega Man. They are spawned during the Rush Jet section of Sky Stage (Mega Man 8) or by some varieties of Big Telly.	1	3	Sky Stage, Wily Stage 1
Tencrow		Birds that appear in groups and fly in a sine motion. If one is destroyed, the rest retaliate with small blades fired at Mega Man.	1 (Tencrow) 1 (blade)	3 (contact) 2 (blade)	Sky Stage, Wily Stage 2
Wall Teck		A robot that walks up and down walls, shooting projectiles foward when it is at Mega Man's height.	3	3 (contact) 3 (projectiles)	Alternate Dimension Stage, Underwater Stage, Wily Stage 2, Wily Stage 3

Mid-bosses

Name	Sprite	Description	HP	Damage	Stage(s)

Gearna Eye		Ascends and descends the right wall, occasionally opening up to reveal its weak point and shoot fire to the left in various patterns. After a while, the floor falls away and is replaced by three small platforms in the lava, with a Kao Ga Mēda enemy that can slam them down to further reduce the space Mega Man has to dodge the Gearna Eye's attacks.	40	4	Ruins Stage
Gorone		A giant turtle that is fought on log platforms while endlessly falling down a waterfall. It regularly appears from the background and tries to either stay above Mega Man to drop a bomb on him, or stay next to him and launch a fist sideways, eventually disappearing back behind the waterfall in both cases. Either attack can destroy the falling log platforms.	20	5 (contact) 5 (fist) 4 (bombs)	Underwater Stage
Shiriko da Gama	File:MM8 - Shiriko da Gama.png	A large, armoured turret that appears in the Rush Jet section of Sky Stage (Mega Man 8).

Its protective casing breaks away as it becomes damaged.	33	4 (contact) 4 (projectiles) 16 (laser)	Sky Stage
Sisi Roll	File:MM8 - Sisi Roll.png	A giant lion-headed wheel that bounces around the room, sometimes stopping in the air to release either four Rompers or two smaller versions of itself. The small Sisi Rolls bounce diagonally without gravity, but disappear after a while.	32 (Sisi Roll) 3 (small roll)	4 (Sisi Roll) 3 (small roll)	Amusement Park Stage
Super Bass	File:MM8 - Super Bass.png	A fusion of Bass and Treble powered by the Evil Energy.

Ururuun	File:MM8 - Ururuun.png	A giant eye surrounded by a shield of rotating junk.

Wood Man	File:MM8 - Wood Man Sprtie.png	Wood Man from Mega Man 2. Protects himself with a Leaf Shield and throws it forward while making four leaves fall from the sky, then hops around cumbersomely.
