Catack (キャタック Kyatakku) is a virus in the Mega Man Battle Network series that resemble a tank operated by a small shady figure. They appear in Mega Man Battle Network 5 and 6, as well as Rockman.EXE Legend of Network.
Catacks slowly advance forwards one panel at a time. Each time they move forward, they will stop and fire their cannon. The blast will push the target back if it is hit, but if this goes uninterrupted, the blast will engulf the left-most column on the target's side. Once Catack reaches the target's side of the field, they will capture any panels they touch, but will stop advancing once they've reached the middle column. If two Catacks are present in battle, both will advance simultaneously, but only one will fire at a time.

Battle Chips
Tank Cannon, known as Sensha Hou (センシャホウ Sensha-hō, lit. "Tank Gun"/"Tank Cannon") in Japan, is the Battle Chip from the Catack family. It behaves similarly to a Cannon Battle Chip, with the added effect of pushing the enemy it hits to the back row. However, if the cannon does not directly hit an enemy, it will cause an explosion on the enemy's back row, hitting both the row the user is in as well as the adjacent rows. This will also crack any panels affected.
