* ''2'' Featured another jumping enemy, similar to an AT-ST from Star Wars (that can even shoot)...they drop Sniper Joes when destroyed. Just [[MercyInvincibility Mercy Invincibilitying]] through them tends to be the best idea.
* Don't forget those horrible birds ("Pipi") in ''2'' that would drop eggs full of mini-birds on you, usually making you fall off a ladder, or into a pit.
** If you have the Leaf Shield, they became a blessing, or at least less of a pain (free powerups!). [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUVdA9ABzpg But no matter how many times...]]
* Spines/Gabyoalls are a special pain. They move left and right along the surface (usually speeding up when being at the same altitude as it is) and can be destroyed only with some special weapons. Just try Concrete Man's Stage or Elecman's stage, using no special weapons or items. Not to mention their location which is often on tiny platforms which have to be jumped on.
** The worst kind is found in Mega Man 10 which actually shoots stuff at you when hit. Also, these types are slightly taller than their brethren from previous games. This doesn't make them significantly harder to dodge, but it makes you ''wish'' they were shorter so as to invoke DenialOfDiagonalAttack.
* Moles (slow-moving drill enemies that constantly spawn from the floor and low ceiling in large quantities) found in Mega Man 2 and 10, when you don't want to farm them for items.
* In general, pretty much every enemy in Mega Man is designed to either damage you or knock you into a BottomlessPit, especially if they rise from there.
* For that matter, any ''[[MegaManBattleNetwork Battle Network]]'' enemy that jumps around the battle area, or with an attack that hits several squares/rows/columns, one at a time or all at once. And Lan help you if they do both, you can kiss your Busting Rate goodbye. They become downright [[DemonicSpider demonic]] if you have to face two or three of them at once.
* From ''Mega Man 10'' we have lockers. Yes, lockers. They only appear in one stage, namely, Strike Man's, but if the background looks like a locker room, be careful. These things can open right in your face, which is annoying enough, but then they shoot at you.
* ''Mega Man ZX Advent'' has what might just be the best example of this trope. In the floating ruins, there are green enemies that turn invisible. This doesn't prevent them from causing CollisionDamage, and they still move around, albeit slowly. When they finally do turn visible is the time they shoot at you. Did I mention the floating ruins has wind that blows you around, and lots and lots of BottomlessPits?
* ''Battle Network 4'' has two exclusive to the game; Cirkill and Spidy. Cirkill moves in a circle around its side of the field, taking shots when level with you. Coupled with other viruses, the shots become very hard to dodge quickly. In any battle, a Spidy's first move is to teleport into your side of the field and ''chase you around''. They also lay down webs which hurt you when stepped in.
