Octopus Battery, also known as Adhering Suzy, or Suzy for short, is an enemy from the original Mega Man. It is a small one-eyed robot with suction cups over its body, allowing it to form barricades.
Octopus Battery was first made available in the devkit for Make a Good Mega Man Level, where it appeared in the entries Sky Ziggurat and Thunderclyffe Plant (as well as Wily Combo and the Final Stage, both of which reskinned it into R Suzy).
It reappeared in the devkit for Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, being used in the levels Candy Panic, Spiky Situation, Sector Upsilon 6 and Identity Crisis, as well as the Wily stage Reality Core, the Tier X level So Good, and the Pit of Pits sublevels "A Warehouse of Scissors", "Descent", "Labyrinthe Throwback", "Magic Crash-Pit Ride", "MEG4KMAN", and "Thunderclyffe Plant?".

Behavior
Octopus Batteries react only by moving either horizontally or vertically across the screen, stopping when coming into contact with a solid surface. If it does so, it shuts its eye and remains dormant for a few seconds, before reawakening and gliding in the opposite direction.
By default, Octopus Batteries are red, but setting "col = #" in an Octopus Battery's creation code will change its color (1 makes it orange, 2 makes it blue).

Trivia
- In the MaGMML2 devkit, Octopus Battery is called "Suzi", which is a misspelled version of its shortened Japanese name.
- The Megamix Engine fixes this typo, renaming the enemy "Suzy". This is the only typo relating to a MaGMML2 devkit enemy that was fixed for the Megamix Engine.
