Cronus, known as Megani in Japan, is Natia's robotic companion from Bomberman Hero and by extension, associated with the Four Devils of Garaden.
Description
Cronus made his first appearance when Bomberman was about to enter the temple on Kanatia Star, he fired the blue laser to knock Bomberman unconscious before Natia took him to prison before Bolban would take care of Bomberman.
Later on Mazone Star, when Bomberman explored the Slush Mountains, Cronus, alongside Natia, observed him from the view on top of the cliff.
He is a giant robotic spider that can fly around the room and fire missiles. His main attack is to fire a laser from his eye which is also his weak point. The first time the player faces Cronus is at the end of Mazone Star, although he is seen earlier in the game. During the first fight, the player must defeat Cronus while Natia flies around on a small platform taunting you. Once Cronus is defeated, Natia leaps down from her platform to face you herself.
In Garaden Star, the player faces Cronus in a separate boss battle from Natia. He swims around in the lava and pops out randomly to either fire lasers at you or chase you while firing missiles.
