Anglerge

Anglerge (アングラーゲ) is an angler Mechaniloid from the Mega Man X series. Two Anglerges appear as sub-bosses in Launch Octopus's stage in Mega Man X and Mega Man Xtreme 2. It is also found in the first Sigma Palace stage from Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. It has a vacuuming attack (the yellow one can pull the player, and the red one push and pull), sends four snake-like enemies at X, and fires an energy beam from its angler.

In Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, this enemy has an additional defense in a scoop in front which acts as a shield against attacks. Only when X destroys the angler head will its defense be down, in which it is open to attack.

Trivia

 * Mega Man X would have three types of Anglerge, but one of them, an orange Anglerge, was removed from the game. Its data is still in the game though, and can be accessed with a cheat device. It acts like the others, except it pushes the player with its vacuum attack, suggesting it would be the second Anglerge to appear in Launch Octopus's stage.
