Anime History
Much like his video game counterpart, WoodMan serves as the NetNavi of Sal, with the additional details in that Sal is a Net Agent who goes under the name Black Rose and the two of them work together with fellow Net Agents Maysa (disguised as Commander Beef), SharkMan, Miyu (disguised as Mysteriyu), and SkullMan.

Abilities

 * Woody Tower: WoodMan summons a Wood Tower that travels down his row every time he moves. Used in BN1.
 * Death Forest: WoodMan presses on the ground, causing panels to flash and wood spikes to shoot out of them.
 * Seed Shooter: WoodMan fires two or three seeds down his row at the player, which will then sprout and shoot out a Wood Tower that travels forward, slowly moving up and down as it tracks the player's position.
 * Growth: WoodMan releases a seed, which then grows into a tree. If the tree is not destroyed, it will produce an apple that recovers WoodMan's HP. Used in BN1.
 * Traffic Log: WoodMan constantly summons logs that roll down two adjacent rows at the player. They can be destroyed and obstructed by obstacles. Used in BN4.

Trivia

 * The original Mega Man Battle Network has unused overworld and mugshot sprites of WoodMan, implying he was originally going to have a larger role in the plot, and early screenshots from the game show WoodMan as MegaMan's classmate.
