Sky Farmer

Sky Farmer (スカイファーマー) are aerial enemies in Mega Man X2, that are exclusive to Wire Sponge's stage. They will drop either Rightods or Sabboteins, depending on the weather.



Rightod
Rightod (ライトッド), also known as "Rightod 1", are bug-like enemies dropped by Sky Farmers when the weather is rainy in the Weather Control stage. If they latch onto X, they may summon lightning to damage him. These can be very difficult around spikes, because they try to hamper X's jumping abilities. It would seem that this enemy is another victim of Japanese-English translation errors, as its function and name indicate that it was named "Lightrod", short for "Lightningrod".



Sabottein
Sabottein (サボッテイン), also known as "Sabottein 2", are cactus-like enemies dropped by Sky Farmers if the weather is anything other than rainy in the Weather Control stage. These can also randomly control the weather, like Weather Crystals.
