Hanumachine

Hanumachine (ハヌマシーン) is one of the bosses of Mega Man Zero, member of Phantom's Zan'ei Army (Stealth Unit). He is a Mutos Reploid based on the Hindu monkey god Hanuman.

Hanumachine can be fought either after failing in the mission against Hittide Hottide, or after all selectable missions are completed. When he attacked the Resistance Base, he was defeated by Zero in the warehouse. Hanumachine is revived by Dr. Weil in Mega Man Zero 3 as "Hanumachine R", and leads an army to attack the Resistance Base.

Hanumachine can turn into a fireball and ricochet around the room Zero fights him in (in the third game this destroys the blocks occupying the room). He uses fire based attacks, like fireballs, and releases small versions of himself that explode after sticking to Zero. He also has a rod that can expand to a larger size.

It is interesting to note that throughout the battle, Hanumachine R constantly refers to Zero as the "God of Destruction", which gives an early hint at Omega's true identity.

Trivia

 * Hanumachine shares some design similarities to Buster Rod. G, who is based on Sun Wukong. Given Hanumachine's primary use of a staff as a weapon, Wukong may have had some influence in his design as well.
 * It should also be noted that Hanumachine bears some similarity to Hanuman.
