Stone Man

Stone Man (ストーンマン) is a strong Robot Master that was built by Doctor Albert Wily to look like and be as tough as a bunch of bricks. He also bears a striking resemblance to his friend Guts Man. In Mega Man 5, Wily ordered him to occupy a high mountain to help Gyro Man take over a hanging garden. Despite his weight, he can jump quite high; however, if he jumps too high or is hit by a strong attack, the impact will make his body break apart, but he is able to return to his normal form. His weapon, Power Stone, makes stones circle around him. In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters the Power Stone makes a big stone hand crawl forward. He's also able to create a wall of bricks in front of him to protect himself and throw stone pillars.

Mega Man 5
Stone Man attacks with Power Stone and tries to jump on Mega Man to smash him, sometimes jumping high and crumbling in the impact. He's weak to Napalm Bomb.
