Snakey

Snakey (スネーキー) is a attack system snake robot that mainly appears in Snake Man's stage, and also in Buster Rod. G's stage. There are two varieties: Big Snakey and Petit Snakey. There is also a Snakey boss in Mega Man: The Wily Wars. It appears in both Buster Rod. G's and (quite appropriately) Snake Man's stages.



Big Snakey
Big Snakey (ビッグスネーキー) is a giant snake sub-boss of Mega Man 3. Their 'tail' acts as the floor which moves and wriggles about up and down which can either disorient the player's line of fire or help them get a clear shot. The Needle Cannon works wonders against it.

Big Snakey also appeared shortly in the opening scene of Mega Man 8, attacking Mega Man with a flamethrower in the mouth.



Petit Snakey
Petit Snakey (プチスネーキー) is a snake enemy that shoot at the spot where Mega Man was last standing when they blinked. "Petit" is French for "small".



Fire Snakey
Fire Snakey is the boss of the first Wily Tower stage in Mega Man: The Wily Wars. When it appears in the surface, it attacks with its fire breath or spit fireballs, and returns to the "lava". It them jumps from one side of the screen to the other side, dropping fire balls in the way. It can only be damaged in the head and is weak to Bubble Lead, but if the player has difficult to hit Fire Snakey with it, it's recommended to use Ice Slasher or the Mega Buster.



Trivia
Coincidentally, there is an Adventures of Lolo series enemy also called "Snakey", but this tends to be the easiest "enemy" of said games. All they do is stare in your direction and just sit there. They often serve as "blockades" to more dangerous enemies, such as Gol or Medusa.
