~ Tengu Man |
Tengu Man is one of the eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 8, reappearing again in Mega Man & Bass.
Tengu Man is a experimental robot created to generate artificial typhoons, later being modified by Dr. Wily for combat. Being modeled after a Tengu, he is equipped with jet engines that allows him to fly at high speeds and he is also capable of reading the atmosphere. He is very proud of his nose and quite a arrogant and overconfident attitude. After his defeat he was recruited by King into his robot army.
Tengu Man stays in the air for most of the fight, occasionally descending to attack the player, using his Kamaitachi to deal continuous damage or the Tornado Hold to trap Mega Man for a free hit. He will also swoop down then descent to stomp the player. His weakness is the Ice Wave. In Mega Man & Bass he fights in the same manner, except his weapons work a bit different. He replaces the Kamaitachi with the Tengu Blade, which deals a direct hit, and his Tornado Hold now pushes the player to the edge of the screen. His weakness in this game is the Spread Drill.
