Horokko

The Horokko (ホロッコ), also known as Zakobon, is one of the most common and most familiar Reaverbots in the Mega Man Legends series. The horn on top of its head makes it almost as tall as MegaMan. In the first Mega Man Legends, the Horokko has the one familiar Reaverbot eye. In Mega Man Legends 2, they have two smaller hole-like eyes.

In Mega Man Legends they come in green and red. The green fall onto their backs and shoot out bombs and sometimes spin into the intruder. The Red Horokko is a lot faster and more aggressive and attack with fireballs and a spin attack. The fireballs cannot be shot and destroyed like the bombs, so one must dodge the fireballs. In Mega Man Legends 2, Horokkos do not fire weapons, but they come to the surface and appear in many types such as fire and ice which can cause burning damage to MegaMan. If given the chance, they will jump into intruders. MegaMan can pick up and throw them in Mega Man Legends 2.
