Hogale (ホゲール Hogēru) is a flying whale-shaped airship enemy from Mega Man 8 that appears in Tengu Man and Frost Man's stages, and in Wily Tower Stage 2. On the regular parts of the stages, it drops Metall SVs. It also appears in the Rush Jet sections, spitting out Tencrows. In Frost Man's stage, they can also drop ice blocks for the machines to push. Some blocks contain Penpen EVs.

Upon defeat, Hogales lose control of their flying, falling a short distance and exploding.


Hogale Submarine[]

Hogale Submarine (ホゲールサブマリン Hogēru Sabumarin) is a modified Hogale that appears in Pirate Man's stage in Mega Man & Bass. There's an infinite number of them swimming in a section with short spaces, where the player needs to hide under them or destroy them quickly to proceed before it causes harm. Its appearance is just like the normal Hogale, except for the lack of propellers.

Much like their aerial counterparts, Hogale Submarines sink a short distance during their death animation.

Other media[]

Hogale appears in Mega Man Gigamix and the Rockman 8 manga, where a single one houses the Bliking. Shade Man releases the machine from the Hogale to pursue the white giant (Gigamix's version of Duo), but the latter easily defeats it.

Trivia[]

  • Hogale is a combination of the Japanese word "hogei", which means whaling, and the English writing of whale (ホエール hoēru) in Japan.
