Dogu the Giant

Dogu the Giant is a boss from the video game, Mega Man ZX Advent. He appears in the introduction stage for both Ashe and Grey. When it appears in Ashe's stage, she stands on a floating platform with a bottomless pit on either side. In Grey's stage, he stands on a solid platform with no pits.

Attacks

 * Dogu Fist: Sends a fist down from above which hand the character is standing on.


 * Dogu Laser: Shoots lasers from both of its eyes in a horizontal-to-vertical fashion.


 * Dogu Exploder: Spits many small bombs from its mouth that explode on contact.

Weakness
Dogu's one weakness seems to be its eyes. Both eyes make up Dogu's entire health bar. If one eye takes enough damage, it will be destroyed. Thus, if both eyes are destroyed, Dogu itself is destroyed. It uses a pattern of utilizing Dogu Laser and then Dogu Exploder, so time your movements and counter after the second attack. Occasionally, Dogu will use Dogu Fist to try and crush your character, depending on whether or not your character is standing on one of its hands. Simply move to another location to dodge the attack. Dogu Laser can be avoided by quickly moving to the middle of the stage, and Dogu Exploder can be easily dodged by either jumping to another hand or moving aside from the point of impact of the bombs. Keep in mind that there is space under Dogu's hands that your character can stand under them, depending on how high the target hand is from the ground at that time.

Trivia

 * According to the in-game database Dogu the Giant was built with technology from "a long time ago," perhaps making a reference to the era of Mega Man Zero 4, or even that of Mega Man X2.
 * Its name as well as head design closely resemble a "Dogu" which was a humoanoid and/or animal-like figure made from clay during the late Jomon Period of prehistoric Japan.
