Gargoyle (ガーゴイル, Gāgoiru) is an enemy in the Bomberman series.
Description[]
Bomberman Quest[]
In Bomberman Quest, Gargoyle is found in the Beach Zone. It moves around aimlessly, often initiating a charge attack. The charge attack is executed in whichever direction that Gargoyle happens to be facing at the time. If it runs into a wall or bomb while charging, it will hit its head and be knocked back for a moment before it resumes its movement. It has 4 HP and yields the Helmet upon its defeat.[1]
Bomberman Tournament[]
In Bomberman Tournament, Gargoyle is found in the Plasma Base. It now has wings, is blue-colored, and uses a spear to attack.[2] It flies around slowly, randomly turning or reversing directions. It seems to gravitate toward Bomberman, but does not actively pursue him. Every four to five seconds, Gargoyle will strike the ground with its spear. Bomberman can walk under Gargoyle without taking damage while it is flying, but will be harmed if he collides with it while it is striking the ground. It can only be harmed while it is striking the ground. It takes 1 hit to defeat, and could potentially drop Gold or Small Medicine.
Bomberman Portable[]
In Bomberman Portable, it reappears in the Spook World, as well as during Bagura's boss battle of the same world, where he can summon two at a time. In this game, it keeps the wings and color of the one from Bomberman Tournament, but no longer use a spear. It moves aimlessly but when a bomb is set near it, it will starts flying for a couple of seconds, before going back to the ground. It can't be harmed while it is flying. It takes 1 hit to defeat it and yields a score of 400 points.
Trivia[]
- This enemy first appeared in an earlier Hudson Soft game, Neutopia II. Its behavior was similar to that of its Bomberman Tournament incarnation.
