Hogale

Information Level Builder Description: Basically a whale, can swim through water and tiles, almost indestructible. Category: Enemies Game information Damage: 6 (contact) Added in version: 1.8.0 Series information Game of origin: Mega Man & Bass Development Programmer(s): Luigi {{{sprite}}}

Hogale is an enemy originating from the game Mega Man & Bass (where it appeared in Pirate Man's level) that was added to Mega Man Maker in version 1.8.0.

It is a large whale that swims through water destroying basically everything in its path. They do not collide with tiles and instead choose to swim past them. If not in water, they will fall to the ground before dying. Despite their description describing them to be "almost indestructible," Hogales can in fact be slain, their death explosion resembling how a mid-boss explodes when slain.

Trivia

• Hogales take their name from the Japanese term hogei (written ほげい in Hiragana), which means "whale hunting."
• These Hogales are actually an aquatic variant of an airborne enemy named Hogale which appeared in Tengu Man and Frost Man's levels in Mega Man 8. The airborne Hogales, however, are absent.
  • The aquatic Hogales were also called "Hogale Submarines" for differentiation purposes, though here, they are just called "Hogale," probably because the airborne Hogales do not appear.
