Meta Capsule

Meta Capsule (メタカプセル) is an enemy found in Mega Man X3. It remains stationary, attached to either the ceiling or the floor while inside a protective glass shell, but retracts the shell to attack. It fires electrical orbs that split into two on contact with the ground, then dissipate. They appear in Volt Catfish's and Neon Tiger's stages. They also appear in Blast Hornet's stage, but only before defeating Gravity Beetle.
