Scuttlest

Scuttles are insect-like viruses that appear in the MegaMan Battle Network series.

In the first game, they were only found with the Life Virus, the final boss of the game. They emerged from holes in the front row of their grid (also preventing any changes to that column), attempting to line themselves up with MegaMan and attack with the element corresponding to their color.


 * Red: Fire Towers


 * Blue: Aqua Towers


 * Green: Wood Towers


 * Yellow: Homing thunder balls

In the second game, they appeared in the secret area. Their attacks were mostly unchanged, but they now have Life Auras. They would drop the Life Aura 1 Battle Chip when defeated.

In the third game, Scuttles made their final appearance (so far). Once again, they were found in the secret area, armed with auras and dangerous elemental attacks. They finally had individual names as well:


 * Scutz: Red body, 100HP, 100HP aura; attacks with a stream of fire pillars similar to FlamMan.EXE.


 * Scutzer: Green body, 100HP, 100HP aura; attacks by raising vines below MegaMan's feet, trying to capture him and drain his energy (similar to a Viney ).


 * Scuttle: Blue body; 100HP, 100HP aura; attacks by pushing ice blocks straight ahead. Blocks fill the last cell on MegaMan's grid, destroying any existing obstacles.


 * Scuttler: Yellow body; 100HP, 100HP aura; attacks with lightning bolts dropped from above its target. Able to crack panels.


 * Scuttlest: White body; 200HP, 200HP aura; fires a large green laser straight ahead.


 * Scuttle Ω: Black body; 300HP, 200HP aura; fires a large red laser straight ahead.

The first four versions usually give up Zenny or an Aura chip when deleted. Scuttlest's have the added chance of dropping the Life Aura chip.
