Mettaurs (メットール, Mettaur), also known as Mets, are enemies from the Mega Man series that appear in the Smash Run mode for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. When they first appear, they hide underneath their indestructible helmets until a fighter approaches them, then fire a three-way shot before ducking again. Behaviorally, this makes them similar to Octoroks, except with a slightly wide shot range. Conventional attacks will hurt them when they're firing. Grabbing can be done on them even when hiding under their helmet and will instantly defeat them. Fittingly for their defensive nature, they generally drop Defense stat boosts upon defeat.

Origin

Mega Man encountering a Mettaur in Mega Man 7.

Mettaurs are enemies from the Mega Man universe that first appeared in the first Mega Man game. Since its debut, it has appeared in every Mega Man series except Mega Man Legends. Their original series incarnation, which appears in Super Smash Bros. 4, typically wear helmets that protects them from attacks while they hide inside. When Mega Man is close, they will pop out their faces and shoot projectiles toward Mega Man in three directions: one in a horizontal direction and two in diagonal directions. There are many variations of Mettaurs: some can walk, some can fly, and some can swim. Its attacks in Smash Run are similar to its attacks in the Mega Man games. In nearly every Mega Man game, a variation of the Mettaur has been seen (e.g. a Mettenna in the Star Force series).
