Gulpfer

Gulpfer (ガルプファー, Garupufā), called Blowfish in some games, are bizarre fish enemies in the underwater sections of Mega Man X, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, and Mega Man Xtreme 2.

Description

Gulpfers have an ovoid body. They are blue in front, with their back half having a grey colour (greyish-orange in artwork). Their backside has a propeller, and their eyes are red.

Gulpfers attack by creating vortices to pull X into their mouth, and actually swallow him. The target has to shoot his way out or jump several times to break free, with both methods defeating them.

The Garakuta Robot from Mega Man X2 uses parts of Gulpfers.
