Tom Daddy[1] is an enemy appearing in Mega Man 7. It is a slinky robot with a single eye, a more advanced version of the Tom Boy enemy from Mega Man 4 with the added ability to move along ceilings.
In Mega Man 7, Tom Daddys appear in Spring Man's stage. They "walk" left and right in the manner of a slinky, pausing on every step, with a longer pause before turning around. Like the original Tom Boy, they are able to walk off ledges, but only if the height difference is exactly two blocks; otherwise, the Tom Daddy turns around at the edge.
Some Tom Daddys start out upside-down on the ceiling, where they move in the same manner as on the floor. If Mega Man comes near such a Tom Daddy, it may stop and extend itself down from the ceiling and onto the floor and continue walking there; however, once on the floor, it cannot return to the ceiling.
