Amenhopper (アメンホッパー Amenhoppā) is a water strider-like robot that appears as an enemy in the stages of Launch Octopus and Sting Chameleon in Mega Man X. It moves by skidding on water surfaces and by doing short hops on dry land. Amenhopper was originally used for agricultural work, spreading fertilizer on the ground.[1] As a Maverick, its fertilizer has been replaced with small bombs that it will occasionally drop from its body.
Other media[]
Amenhoppers appear in the Rockman X manga as one of the Maverick minions surronding X and Zero in the forest and are also seen in Launch Octopus's base, alongside Sky Claws.
