Ravemanta

Ravemanta is a manta-like flying transport from Mega Man X8 fought twice as the sub-boss of Avalanche Yeti's stage. In the first encounter, it drops Kelpies to hit the player when flying up, and sometimes lowers itself to the ground to attack with shots from the back. After receiving sufficient damage, it escapes and is fought again near the end of the stage. Along the previous attacks, it's also able to drop Mine-Qs and dive on the player's direction. In both battles, it can only be damaged when it's grounded.
