Nibul is an enemy from Mega Man V. It is a robotic wasp armed with a toxin-injecting stinger.

Niibul was first available with the release of the Megamix Engine, and is planned to appear in the devkits for Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 and Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level.

Behavior

Nibul flies in place for a small time before diving down at Mega Man. Once it reaches his level, it flies all the way up to the top of the screen, staying in a hard to reach position until it attacks again. If a Nibul collides with Mega Man, it injects a toxin into him that slows down his movement. Though the toxin's effects wear off over time, they can also be ended early by destroying the Nibul that injected him.

In creation code, users have the option of changing Nibul's sprite with a yellow version of its original Mega Man V sprite, named "Jupibul".

Trivia

• The Jupibul sprite was originally intended to be Nibul's sprite, with its yellow color chosen to distinguish it from the purple Sibul (and be a subtle reference to Hornet Man). Spin Attaxx created a more artwork-accurate palette when programming Nibul, but chose to keep the original sprite in as an easter egg. The name "Jupibul" is a reference to MaGMML Judge and Hornet Man enthusiast JupiHornet.
• Nibul's default sprite is slightly redrawn from its original Mega Man V sprite, with a different eye that looks more obvously cycloptic. Though the original sprite was presumably intended to convey a single detailed eye, the end result looks more like two smaller eyes. The Jupibul sprite keeps the old eye design intact.
