Furaibon (フウライボン Fūraibon) is an enemy from Mega Man 10 that appears in in Commando Man's Stage, Wily Stage 2, Special Stage 2 and Special Stage 3. In Hard Mode they also appear in Pump Man's Stage.
Description[]
They take on the form of a small circular bomb, looking and acting similar to the Bombombomb from Mega Man, rising from pitfalls and what not. They leap from pitfalls as soon as Mega Man comes near, so he can't cross those gaps without hitting a Furaibon. They also are affected by the sandstorm, as the parachute they get at the height of their fall will be pushed by the gust of wind. Either Mega Man can kill it in one hit or shoot the parachute and make it drop. They come in different variant colors in the Endless Attack Mode.
Etymology[]
Its name is probably derived from the Japanese word "fuuraibou (風来坊)", which means "wanderer". Moreover, free translation is "a person who appear and go away like the wind".
