Togerics

Togerics (トゲリクス) is a flower-like enemy from Mega Man X4 that appears in Split Mushroom's stage. It is a Bioroid that was created from a failed chemical experiment. They appear in Yellow and Blue variants and can only be destroyed by attacking the core.

The Yellow variant will start shooting energy pellets. If a Togeric core is destroyed, it will regenerate after a few seconds. The Blue variant will shoot small bombs that explode after a certain time. Once the core it's destroyed it will not regenerate, but the vine will still be active. A closed Blue variant also exists that has longer spikes. Can't be destroyed when the flower is closed.
