Wood Man (ウッドマン, Uddoman) is the first Robot Master to display the Nature type theme, and not many take that theme. Wood Man is a Robot Master from Mega Man 2. Wood Man envelops himself in his Leaf Shield, launch some more razor sharp leaves into the air, which soon after rain down on Mega Man. He will then launch his deadly shield at Mega Man. His base is located in a jungle. His weaknesses are the Metal Blade and the Needle Cannon. His stage consists of many mechanical minions whom's designs are based on animals such as a jack-rabbit or a wolf.

He was created by Doctor Albert Wily. He also has appeared as a mini-boss in the Sega Saturn version of Mega Man 8, as a one-time boss in Search Man's stage. He grants Mega Man a Bolt (relocated in the PSX version) when defeated, making it the only mandatory Bolt in the game. Like any piece of wood, flammability and being cut is a major problem in the development of him.

It should be noted that in the Normal Mode from English NES version of Mega Man 2, Wood Man (when he's not defended by the Leaf Shield) can be destroyed with one hit of the fully charged Atomic Fire.

[edit] Other Appearances

Wood Man also appears as a Doc robot in Mega Man 3. He is found in the middle of the revised version of Shadow Man's Stage.
