DWN-057 Tengu Man is one of the eight Robot Master bosses from Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass. He is featured in Mega Man Maker since 1.9.0. His signature weapons are the Tornado Hold and Tengu Blade.

Behavior

When spawning in, Tengu Man will fly down from the top of the screen to where he is placed in the editor with his arms crossed before pulling out his fan blades, swishing them, then placing his hand on his face, extending his nose between his fingers. After this Tengu Man will fly 6 tiles above the player and float up and down while moving side to side. Tengu Man will hover in a large area around the player and change direction if he gets too far away.

The height Tengu Man floats at can be manipulated by where he is placed in the editor and by the player. If Tengu Man is placed above 6 tiles from the player he will float on the height he was placed until he attacks where he moves down to 6 tiles above the player. If the player is higher than Tengu Man after he performs an attack he will try to maintain the 6 tile gap and move above the player, usually causing him to fly to the top of the sector or off screen if there is one connected above.

Tengu Man has 3 attacks of which he uses randomly.

• Tornado Hold: Tengu Man will fall down to 2 tiles above the ground and fire his signature weapon the Tornado Hold on the ground. It will travel along the ground at a speed slightly faster than the player and will destroy itself before reaching the last tile of a platform or if it has been alive for too long. If the player gets caught in the Tornado Hold they will be shot up into the air, where Tengu Man will then slam them to the ground, dealing 3 damage on the kick and 3 damage when hitting the ground. The Tornado Hold reflects bullets.

• Yama Arashi: Tengu Man will fall down to 2 tiles above the ground and use his fan blade to create a small circular whirlwind. The whirlwind flys in an arc, going down 2 tiles and then going up infinity. If the player gets caught in the whirlwind they will take 4 damage and get carried away by it briefly.

• Here you go!: Tengu Man will swoop down and sweep the ground to try and damage the player. After Tengu Man goes off screen he will then land back down to the ground where the player is standing, with his arms crossed, from the top of the screen. After which he will fly back up.

Weakness

Ice Wave was Tengu Man's native weakness in Mega Man 8 and his special interaction with Ice Wave is recreated in Mega Man Maker. So long as Tengu Man has not been given immunity in the created level to Ice Wave, if hit close to a surface with it he will be frozen in place for a few seconds.

Trivia

• Although Tengu Man appears as a boss in both Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass, as of version 1.9.0 his behavior in Mega Man Maker is taken from Mega Man 8 exclusively.
  • Likely due to this, his sprites include "MM8" in the file name, even though most bosses do not specify a game.
    • Interestingly, some sprites have duplicates under "AB" (likely referring to Mega Man & Bass) that go unused, and attempting to load them in through text editing will crash the game.
  • This means his weakness to Spread Drill is not implemented in Mega Man Maker as of version 1.9.0.
• Like in Mega Man 8, when Tengu Man is hit by the player's Ice Wave and lands on ground, he will be frozen in place temporarily.
