Pelicanu[1] is an enemy appearing in Mega Man 6. It is an airborne robot based on a pelican, with a propeller on its back, a skid on its bottom (though it does not land) and a bill that can open to drop objects.
In Mega Man 6, Pelicanus are found only in the Ancient City (Centaur Man) stage where they appear in the first section, alongside SRU-21/P. They appear from the side of the screen and fly in a straight line, rapidly dropping fish while Mega Man is near, which flop around on the ground for a short time, but disappear if they fall into the water. Its fish are harmful to touch, but can be destroyed easily and may drop items.
Defeating a Pelicanu while there are still fish about will also cause all the fish it has dropped to disappear.
Dr. Wily originally made this mecha to carry food, but its tendency to drop its cargo made him modify it for attacking.

Trivia
Pelicanu's manner of attack is based on the ability of real pelicans to hold up to several fish inside a bill pouch (gular), though they do not typically remain there for long.
