Hyoroi (ヒョローイ, Hyorōi) is an enemy in Super Bomberman 5.
Description[]
Hyoroi appears in Zone 5. It is a giant blue robot with flamethrowers for hands and has one flammable gas storage compartment on its back, acting as a spike-like fan.
It always moves slowly and forward, and always turns to the right after colliding with a wall or other obstacle. It will only turn left when the path to the right is blocked, and will never reverse direction unless it goes into a dead end; it will also pursue the player if he or she shares its X or Y axis and there are no obstacles in between them. Occasionally, Hyoroi will stop to shoot a stream of fire in whatever direction it happens to be moving. This attack has a range of 4. The fire stream does not detonate bombs. Both Hyoroi and the fire stream will harm the player on contact. Hyoroi takes 2 hits to defeat and yields a score of 600 points. It is the tallest enemy in the game, being bigger than Yoroisu.
Trivia[]
- The name Hyoroi comes from the namesake Japanese word that roughly means Spindly, Gangly or Weak, even though Hyoroi is pretty strong, and has two hit points to match. Additionally, the name "Hyoroi" also comes from "yoroi", a Japanese word for "armor".
- In addition to that, Hyoroi's name roughly translates to "Harmor", a combination of the words "harm" and "armor".
