Shaboan

Shaboan (シャボーン, Shabōn) is an enemy exclusive to Venus's stage in Mega Man V that looks like a robotic eye surrounded by soap bubbles. It starts out hanging atop the ceiling, but if it senses Mega Man come by, it awakens and drops to the floor. It then slowly jumps and rests in intervals towards him. Mega Man can tell which soap bubbles are alive by looking at the color of it.

Etymology

Its Japanese name is a derivation of「シャボン」(shabon, soap bubble).
