—Endol, Bomberman Hero
Endol, known is Japan as Endor, is the first boss (aside from Nitros) in Bomberman Hero. He is fought on Planet Bomber.
Description
He is a member of the Garaden Empire and the first of the Four Devils of Garaden. He is described as "looking like an electric catfish", what with his mustache/whiskers and tail. He also has two claws on each hand. His attacks revolve around electricity.
Battle
Encounter 1
In the first phase, Bomberman must jump over the electricity spinning around from Endol's platform and throw a bomb at Endol. His chest is his weak spot. In the second phase, Endol will go to the ground and shoot balls of electricity at Bomberman. Again, Bomberman must throw bombs at him until he is destroyed.
Encounter 2
He is brought back to life by Bagular, and is fought again in Boss Room 1 at Garaden Star, in a room full of water. He has the same weak point and can shoot multiple balls of electricity at Bomberman, as well as electrify the water (though Bomberman has time to jump to avoid the attack). Once he is defeated this time, Endol is gone for good.
