Tsuranattori

Tsuranattori (ツラナットリ) is one of a group of purple bird-like robot enemies in Mega Man 7. They fly in a straight horizontal line at the top at first, go diagonally downward, and then try to bee-line at Mega Man. Shooting one of the birds will cause the rest to bee-line at whatever height they were at the time. They appear in Cloud Man's stage, Slash Man's stage, & the 1st Wily Stage.

Tsuranattori also appear as support for Cut Man and Gemini Man in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters. They would have appeared in Mega Man: The Power Battle, but were cut from the game.

Muragattori (ムラガットリ) is the bird-like robot enemy from Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass that appears endlessly and swarm at enemies. They first appear in Search Man's stage in Mega Man 8 and later, in Wily Stage 2. In Mega Man & Bass, it can appear from the flowing shadow mural in Astro Man's stage, and also in one area from Burner Man's stage.
