Category:Mini-boss enemies

Large enemies with their own room or area and a high amount of hit-points. They are the only one of their kind in a stage and are almost bosses, except they do not have a life gauge nor rule over their own stage. Mini-boss enemies started in Mega Man 5 with the Octoper OA and became very popular in Mega Man 7, Mega Man 8 and Mega Man and Bass.
