Watcher is an enemy from the original Mega Man. It is a reconnaissance robot with retractable eye stalks at the top and bottom of its body.

Watcher was first made available in the devkit for the original Make a Good Mega Man Level contest, where it didn't appear in any entries.

Watcher returned in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, where it appeared in the Wily stage Reality Core and the Pit of Pits sub-level "Obscure Gameboy Gimmick".

Behavior

Watchers will wait a certain period of time before rising either up from the bottom of the screen or down from the top of the screen. When it reaches Mega Man's X-axis, it fires two lightning bolts and flies away.

Creation code can be used to customize how many frames a Watcher waits before entering the screen (default is 32), and what direction it moves in when entering (setting the value to 1 or not including the value in creation code makes it move down, and setting the value to -1 makes it move up).
