Wood Man

Wood Man (ウッドマン) is the first Robot Master to display the Nature type theme, and not many take that theme. He was created by Doctor Albert Wily. He also has appeared as a miniboss in the Sega Saturn version of Mega Man 8. Like any piece of wood, flamability and being cut is a major problem in the development of him.

It should be noted that in the Normal Mode from English NES version of Mega Man 2, Wood Man (when he's not defended by the Leaf Shield) can be destroyed with one hit of the fully charged Atomic Fire.

Trivia

 * Inspired by one of Keiji Inafune's cousins, a carpenter. According to an interview in 1992, Inafune and his cousin loved to go camping in the outdoors together when they were young, and Wood Man and his stage were inspired by those memories.


 * Wood Man is one of the Robot Masters mentioned in the online video エアーマンが倒せない (Airman Can't Be Beaten). The song states that in order to beat Air Man, they try to obtain Wood Man's Leaf Shield but they also are not able to defeat Wood Man as well.
