Sheep Man

Sheep Man (シープマン) is a Robot Master from Mega Man 10. He can turn into four clouds of wool that hover in the screen and uses electric attacks.

Originally a sheep herding robot, he left that job to work in the static resistance test division of a circuit board manufacturer after noticing one day static build-up on his wool. But being one that easily gets bored, it seems he was thinking about changing jobs again. It should be noted that his stage has the appearing/disappearing blocks that are prevalent in other Mega Man games.

Strategy
Sheep Man will jump up into the air and begin to use Thunder Wool by spliting into four clouds of wool, each one flies to a different location and then they drop Thunderbolts downwards that create a wide pool of electricity when they hit the ground, the fourth cloud will launch electric shockwaves along the ground, after which it turns back into Sheep Man who falls to the ground. His other attack is to launch an electric orb that bobs up and down.

On Easy Mode, Sheep Man's Thunder Wool bolts don't spread on the ground and the last one doesn't launch electric shockwaves.

On Hard Mode, All of the Thunder Wool clouds act almost simultaneously, all four spread on the ground, and two of them launch shockwaves at you. He also creates electric shockwaves every time he jumps to form the 4 Thunder Wool clouds.

The Rebound Striker is the best weapon against him as it can destroy his clouds and possibly cancel out his Thunder Wool completely if you hit him before he splits. Hitting the fourth cloud to move will entirely cancel out the attack, as this is the one containing Sheep Man.

Trivia

 * Sheep Man was the first boss from Mega Man 10 revealed to the public.
 * His computer motif may be a reference to the Philip K. Dick novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
 * Sheep Man's weakness to the Rebound Striker is due to the fact the rubber ball does not conduct electricity and renders Sheep Man's attacks useless.
