Matasaburo

Fan Fiend, also known as Matasaburou (マタサブロー), is an enemy native to Air Man's stage. Similar to Air Man, they have a built in fan and will try to blow Mega Man over the edge of platforms.

In Super Adventure Rockman, the player may encounter one Fan Fiend before the fight against Air Man depending on the path chosen. Fan Fiend can talk in this game, and attacks by pushing a rock in Mega Man's direction.

Fan Fiends also have a short appearance in the manga Mega Man Megamix, where several robots from Air Man's stage attack a city and are defeated.

Boufooh
Boufooh (ボーフーウー) is a giant fan enemy in Cloud Man's stage and in the first Wily stage from Mega Man 7. Unlike their predecessor from Mega Man 2, they can change the direction of their fan. Boufoohs may push Mega Man away, or pull him toward themselves-- either to inflict damage through bodily contact or to force him into a instant death pit.

Boufooh's name derives from the Japanese word "boufuu", which means windstorm.

Trivia

 * In Mega Man 2, there is always a glitch where the second Fan Fiend can only be seen for a split-second before it disappears.


 * In Super Adventure Rockman, the Fan Fiend's data card states that he's a prototype of Air Man, and when first encountered he says he will become a real robot if he defeats Mega Man. This likely means he would be converted into a Robot Master.
 * Fan Fiends bear a slight resemblance to Mega Man himself.
