Search Man

When it comes to Search Man (サーチマン), as it turns out, two heads aren't better than one. He was created by Dr. Wily, designed to look like an army soldier. During Search Man's construction, Wily had the idea that if he had two minds, he could be slightly wiser and stronger than other Robot Masters. Unfortunately, Wily forgot to install two personalities, and because Search Man constantly switches himself from head to head, he gets himself confused (Possibly, Dr. Wily accidentally added in the neck rotators.). He can hide in bushes, hiding nothing behind one, a decoy behind another, and himself behind the last one. Search Man is one of the four Robot Masters that protected the barrier to "Wily Tower" and was placed somewhere in Africa (possibly Congo, Angola or Zambia).
