Wave Man

Wave Man (ウェーブマン) is an amphibious combat Robot Master created by Dr. Wily to take over the water quality administration in Mega Man 5. He is very sentimental, making him cry easily or have violent fits of rage, and is anti-social and rather likes to keep to himself. He isn't good at close-range combat, preferring to attack from distance. His main weapon, the Water Wave, can make a water pillar appear from the ground in the enemy's current location, and he can launch harpoons from his left arm. Unlike Bubble Man, Wave Man has good mobility on both land and submerged in water.

Mega Man 5
Wave Man's attack pattern is creating a water pillar, firing a harpoon and then jumping towards Mega Man.
