Anko (アンコウ Ankou), also known as Lantern Fish in the Mega Man 2 instruction manual for the U.S., is an angler fish robot used for deep sea exploration. Due to cost reduction from Dr. Wily, it is unable to move, appearing twice in Bubble Man's stage as a sub-boss. It deals considerable contact damage. It can only be damaged by attacking his antenna. He attacks by releasing Shrinks (Small shrimp-like robots) from the mouth.
One Anko appears as a sub-boss in Mega Water S's Stage in Mega Man: The Wily Wars.
