Haiker N (ハイカーN Haikā N) is an enemy from Mega Man 10 that appears in Pump Man's Stage. and Challenge #34.
Description[]
The Haiker N is a medium enemy that looks like a pipe fixture with eyes and a gun barrel mouth. They can attach themselves between two pipes and spit either a squirt of water from close range or a gunk shot from their mouth towards Mega Man in a lobbing arc. They also fire 3 gunk shots in a row in Hard Mode. They don't completely act like pipe fixtures, as seen in Challenge #34, Special Force 2, where they were attached to 2x1 holes in walls, not just pipes. They have quite a bit of health, but they go down fairly easy to Triple Blade, like many enemies do.
Etymology[]
Haiker N's name is probably derived from the Japanese word "haikan", which means piping, which of course makes sense because it is made to look like a pipe fixture that attaches onto pipes.
Trivia[]
- Haiker N resembles the Telly in its structure, which makes sense given its animation when flying towards pipes.
