Shrink (シュリンク Shurinku) is a shrimp robot appearing in Mega Man 2. These enemies make their only appearance in Bubble Man's stage. They usually appear near Ankos, which can release many Shrinks from its mouth. They attack Mega Man by swimming in his direction and attempting to bite him. The Metal Blade, Bubble Lead, Crash Bomber, charged Atomic Fire, and Leaf Shield all kill them in one shot.
They also appear in Mega Water S's stage in Mega Man: The Wily Wars.

Trivia
- For unknown reasons, in-game, the side of the Shrink's tail is orange, and the top of the tail is red; but in their artwork, the colors are reversed.
