Tombort

Tombort (トンボート) is a dragonfly enemy from Mega Man X3 that can be used as a platform in Neon Tiger's stage. It is harmless most of the time, but if the player presses the attack button while it is moving, it will fire three projectiles from its tail. Its weakness is Spinning Blade; using it will slice off its wings, causing it to fall to the ground and explode. It should be noted that Tombort is one of the few enemies that will always drop health or weapon energy capsules - large or small - if destroyed with Frost Shield or Acid Burst respectively. Without the Foot Parts, X must use Tomborts to reach both the Life Up and the Sub Tank in Neon Tiger's stage.

Other media
Tomborts are seen in the Rockman X3 alongside other Maverick minions, catching X while he was fighting Crush Crawfish. Some are also seen ready to fight the recently reformed Blast Hornet alongside his commander Zero.
