Sheep Man

Sheep Man (シープマン) is a Robot Master from Mega Man 10. He can turn into four clouds of wool that hover in the screen and uses electric attacks.

Originally a sheep herding robot, he left that job to work in the static resistance test division of a circuit board manufacturer after noticing one day static build-up on his wool. But being one that easily gets bored, it seems he was thinking about changing jobs again.

Strategy
Sheep Man only has two attacks normally, his first attack is the Thunder Wool, in which he will jump high ino the air, split into four clouds of wool, then each of them will move to a different location, then, each one will send a thunderbolt to the ground that spreads out slightly, the last cloud will launch an electric shockwave along the floor, and then turn into Sheep Man. His other attack is a fairly fast orb of electricity that bobs up & down.

On Easy Mode, None of Sheep Man's thunder Wools spread out or create shockwaves.

On Hard Mode, The Thunder Wool clouds have far less delay in-between dropping thunderbolts. As well, two of the clouds launch shockwaves along the floor. Also, his electric orb now has a more vertical bob to it, making it harderto jump over. He also has a new attack in which he will hop in the direction he's facing. When he lands from a hop, he sends electric shockwaves along the floor.

His weakness is the Rebound Striker, it is not only a good weapon for reaching him while he's airborne, but also can destroy his Thunder Wool clouds in one hit and cancel the attack completely if you hit the cloud that changes into him.

Trivia

 * Sheep Man was the first boss from Mega Man 10 revealed to the public.
 * It's possible that Sheep Man could be a reference to Philip K. Dick's science fiction novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It should also be noted that Sheep Man's stage music is titled 'Cybersheep's Dream'.
