Anko
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, these enemies are unable to move from their spot, and only two appear in Bubble Man's stage. It deals considerable contact damage. Anko attacks by releasing Shrinks (Small shrimp-like robots) from the mouth. It can only be damaged by attacking its antenna. The Atomic Fire, if you charge the weapon up enough, can destroy an Anko in one hit.
One Anko appears in Mega Water S's stage in Mega Man: The Wily Wars.
