Tentoroid (テントロイド Tentoroido) is the name of three types of hovering ladybug enemies in Mega Man X4 that appear in Split Mushroom's stage, the Bio Laboratory. The name Tentoroid comes from tentōmushi, which means ladybug in Japanese.
Tentoroid[]
Tentoroid is the mid-boss of the Bio Laboratory. It is a strong purple Tentoroid that hovers in the lower part of the screen, between thorns and the floor, and extends spikes from its back to crush the floor panels above it. Even though it's easy to damage it with charged shots, time is limited as it destroys the floors X or Zero stand on. Optionally, X can use Frost Tower and lay it above the tile it is about to destroy, only taking three or four attacks to destroy it. Ground Hunter and Aiming Laser also work, whereas with the latter, X doesn't have to wait for the Tentoroid to destroy the tile.
As Zero, Raijingeki and Hyouretsuzan work well, especially when Hyouretsuzan can penetrate the tiles' thickness and hit Tentoroid while it is still roving on the spikes. If Tentaroid breaks one of the higher-up tiles, Zero can also use Ryuenjin to deal massive damage.
Tentoroid BS[]
Tentoroid BS is an indestructible Tentoroid that spins fast to crush enemies with its spikes. It was originally used as a construction drill machine. BS could stand for "Black Shell".
Tentoroid RS[]
Tentoroid RS is a red Tentoroid that hovers slowly through the stage. RS could stand for "Red Shell". Tentoroid RS also appears in Mega Man X DiVE.
Other Media[]
Tentoroid appears in the Rockman X4 manga at the Bio Laboratory.
