Matasaburo

Fan Fiend, or Mata-saburou (マタサブロー), is native to Air Man's stage. Just like Air Man, he has a fan and will blow to try to send you over the edge. There is a similar enemy in Mega Man 7 (see below) except he can change the wind's direction; this means he can not only push you away, but can change the direction and pull you toward him.

In Super Adventure Rockman, the player may find one Fan Fiend before the fight against Air Man depending of the path chosen. Fan Fiend can talk in this game, and all he does is push a rock in Mega Man's direction.

Fan Fiend has also a short appearance in the manga Rockman Megamix, where several robots from Air Man's stage attack a city and are defeated.



Boufooh
Boufooh (ボーフーウー) is the giant fan enemies in Cloud Man's stage and in the first Wily stage. Unlike its predecessor in Mega Man 2, it can change direction of its fan. Sometimes it'd be pushing Mega Man away, other times it may be pulling him toward it--perhaps either to do bodily contact damage or pull him into a pit. Its name derives from the Japanese word "boufuu", which means windstorm.

Trivia
In Mega Man 2, there is always a glitch where the second Fan Fiend can only be seen for a split-second before it disappears.

In Super Adventure Rockman, his data card says he's a prototype of Airman, and when you first meet him he's says he will become a real robot if he defeats Mega Man, this likely means he would be converted into a robot master.
