The Nombrellan is a large umbrella robot that made its first appearance in Mega Man 9, as an enemy in Tornado Man's stage. It floats idly in the air, showing little signs of aggression.

Nombrellan debuted in version 1.5.0 of Mega Man Maker, along with their spawner asset.

Level Builder

The Nombrellan is designated to the 6th layer of the editor (Close front), and as such, it can be placed over tiles, as well as some level objects. It has no special settings that can be adjusted.

Behavior

The Nombrellan is an extremely simple enemy, with a consistent pattern of movement. It will slowly descend through the air, floating downwards and passing through any terrain (such as tiles or level objects) in its way. It can be freely damaged and destroyed, like most other enemies, and has no means of attack or defending itself - although the player can still be damaged through direct contact. However, when exposed to weather effects such as Rain, the Nombrellan will begin moving in its direction, diagonally downward - its horizontal speed increasing with the rain's intensity. The Nombrellan is one of the few enemies who will continue to move and not despawn after it has passed the "wall" or vertical border of the visible screen.

The Nombrellan can also be spawned by a separate asset, the Nombrellan Spawner, which will generate a Nombrellan above its position in the Level Builder - past the visible screen's ceiling or "horizontal" border. Once the spawned Nombrellan is destroyed or has despawned naturally, the Nombrellan Spawner will be immediately prompted to create another.
