The Yaffu is a large ventilation robot and enemy originating from Mega Man 6, where it appeared only in the third Wily Castle stage. It resembles a large mechanical fan on a rotating base.

Yaffu debuted in version 1.4.0 of Mega Man Maker.

Level Builder

The Yaffu's initial facing direction can be manually adjusted and set as either left or right.

Behavior

The Yaffu is a rather simple enemy, albeit a very dynamic one. Upon spawning, its fan will start spinning and the Yaffu will begin sucking in air from the direction it is facing. If the player happens to be in this designated direction, the Yaffu will begin to pull them towards itself (similar to bosses such as Magnet Man and Wind Man). After a couple seconds, the Yaffu will begin to slow down, before flipping around and blowing out air in the same direction as before, reversing the flow of the wind and slowly pushing the player away from itself. Another couple seconds later, the Yaffu will flip around once more, and the process will repeat itself. The direction of the Yaffu's wind is visually indicated the direction of the arrow on the side of the fan.

Trivia

• The Yaffu is one of the only two enemies from Mega Man 6 without any form of official artwork, the other being Wily Machine 6's Wily Capsule.
• Time-based weapons such as Time Stopper and Flash Stopper can freeze the Yaffu, disabling its wind in the process.
• The Yaffu's behavior is virtually identical to enemies such as the Fan Fiend and Fankurow from Mega Man 2 and Mega Man V respectively.
