Changkey

Tackle Fire (チャンキー) is a fire enemy from the Mega Man classic series, usually spawned by various other enemies. In Mega Man 2 and Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge an enemy called Hothead creates Tackle Fires. It appears in Fire Man's stage from Mega Man, Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge and the first part of the Wily Tower in Mega Man: The Wily Wars. In Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge, they are invincible and just appear falling into lava. They also appear in Mega Man 10 in Solar Man's stage where four of them fly in parabolic arcs from one turret to another and back.



Changkey R
Changkey R (チャンキーＲ) is a revised version of the Tackle Fire. Though, not much has changed, except that it can now be destroyed. They only appear in the intro stage of Mega Man and Bass. 

Changkey Dragon
Changkey Dragon (チャンキードラゴン) is the sub-boss of Magma Man's stage and the first Wily stage in Mega Man 9. It's a skeletal dragon with the body covered by large Changkeys. It rises up and down in a wave-like fashion, while breathing out Changkeys. If they hit the ground, they will roll towards Mega Man.

Its weaknesses are Tornado Blow and Black Hole Bomb. However, it does use all four shots of the Tornado Blow, so for speedrunners, it would not be best to use since it is also Magma Man's weakness, and it would hard to recharge along the way. When hit by the Tornado Blow or Black Hole Bomb, the Changkeys will temporarily disappear, weakening the dragon. The Concrete Shot does the most damage to it, causing him to die in just five hits, but it's hard to hit the dragon's head with it for it keeps rising up and down. The Hornet Chaser is also a good weapon to use on it, as the bees will almost always hit him as long as the dragon's head is visible.

Changkey in the Battle Network series
Changkeys also appear as viruses in Mega Man Network Transmission. They only show up in the area "Net on Fire." When they shoot up from the lava, they float down and towards their target.
