Yellow Devil

Yellow Devil (イエローデビル), also know as Rock Monster, is one of Dr. Wily's creations, that originally was a fortress boss in the first Mega Man game as a big yellow blob made of nanobots, that can dismantle himself and cross through the screen to attack enemies. His weak point is his eye, which is the controller of the nanobots and can shoot small projectiles.

In the remake Mega Man Powered Up, it is revealed that he can talk, but the only thing he can say is "Bumo".

In the arcade games Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, it appear as the penultimate boss of the courses "Mega Man 1~2" and "Mega Man 3~6" from Power Battle and "Rescue Roll!" from Power Fighters. It has new attacks like shoot beams from its eye, separate into smaller versions of it, walk, jump, throw part of its body that bounces in the room, and absorb players from its arm to launch them.

Yellow Devil is one of the three enemy racers (the others being a Roader and Sniper Joe) in Mega Man: Battle and Chase, and there is a secret boss recolor of him called Black Yellow Devil (ブラックイエローデビル), sometimes shortened to Black Devil, which caused confusion between it and the Shadow Devil.

It has also a short appearance in the opening scene of Mega Man 8.

Yellow Devil Mark 2
An upgraded version of the Yellow Devil called Yellow Devil Mark2 (イエローデビル マーク２) appeared in the second Wily Castle stage from Mega Man 3. MK2 acts similar to the original, but it can not only do the "blocks moving pattern", but can also flow in a wave. Its weakness is the Hard Knuckle.

Other variations
The Yellow Devil reappeared in several other games in different forms, like: Mega Man 8 and Mega Man and Bass as Green Devil, Mega Man V as Dark Moon, Super Adventure Rockman as New Yellow Devil, Rockman and Forte: Challenger From the Future as Grey Devil, and in Mega Man 9 as "Twin Devil" and enemies called Petit Devils.

The Devil series also appeared in other Mega Man series: Mega Man X5 as Shadow Devil (including a remix from the fortress boss music of the first Mega Man game, its weakness to an electric weapon similar to Thunder Beam, and others), in the first two games from the Mega Man Zero series as Rainbow Devil, and in Mega Man ZX as a miniboss made out of magma named Lava Demon.
