Enemies

From Metal Slug Wiki

Rebel Infantry: Present throughout the entire series, excluding Metal Slug 5. General Morden's loyal troops are equipped with pistols, knives, bazookas, mines, drop shots, rockets and fire crackers. In graphical terms they have more sprites and variations than other enemies. We can encounter with them in many aspects: from the future, in space, on water, or can even be prisoners.

• Those are represent the "Normal rebel army". Here they demonstrate a few of their attacks.:

• Some soldiers that have been captured or otherwise incapacitated:

• The elite troopers (only appear in final mission on Metal Slug 4):

• Futuristic soldiers (in Metal Slug 7)

• The Ptolemaic variant (only in Metal Slug 5):

Allen O'Neil: Known as "The immortal" of Rebel Army. He´s the most powerful of all soldiers in battle. He usually attack you from the ground, but also can attack you from the air. Equipped with a heavy machine gun and grenades, he can be a real nightmare.

There are also some other characters based on O'Neil:

• Allen O'Neil Jr: The son that follows the example of his father in Metal Slug Advance.

• O'Neil Terminator: A mechanical clone of O'Neil. Only in Metal Slug 4.

Arabians: Seen in Metal Slug 2 and X. They are allies of the Rebel army. They fight using swords. Some fight on foot and strike quickly while others ride camels.

Mummies: From Ancient Egypt come the walking corpses known as mummies. Like the zombies, they were disturbed during excavations by the Rebel Army and now rise to find a cure for their pharaoh. In Metal Slug 4, the Rebel Army controls the curse and uses it against the Regular Army. They are basic slow-moving mummies, present in Metal Slug 2, X and 4 (When you take the underground path). Come in a few varieties:

• Mummy-smoke: Most common and less dangerous. Their only attack is a poisonous breath move that transforms you into a mummy. If you are already "cursed" and they breathe on you again, you'll die. Of the 3 types, those are the easiest because their attacks are short and they walk slowly, making them easy enough to avoid.

• Drop shot: Distinguished from the previous type by its colour (this mummy seems to be off-white, while the previous kind is beige), they rarely move, and their only attack is to drop a cursed orb of some kind that also turns you into a mummy. Respect resistence, doesn't change and the attack can be a barrier if it is alone. Be careful when they appear in groups.

• Locust-spewing: The most difficult mummy. It is kind of a greenish colour and like the previous one, usually doesn't walk. The danger is in its attacks: The locusts that they spit will follow you incessantly until you destroy it, and will cause instant death upon contact. Even if you destroy the mummy, the locust will still follow you.

• Dog mummy: A variation of the basic mummy design. Dog-mummies are similar to beige mummies, except that they move faster and jump as well. Their attack consists in a "cursed" bark with the same effect as the beige mummy's.

• Bats aren't technically mummies, but they can also transform you into a mummy. They appear in Metal slug 2, X, and 3. Bats carry around a jar containing a cursed liquid of some sort that they will gleefully sump on you to turn you into a mummy. The bats from Metal Slug 3 will kill you upon contact.

• Non-enemy mummies that can be distinguished by their blue bandages. Only appear in Metal Slug 4

• This is what the player character looks like when cursed:

Crawlers: An experiment created by Dr. Moreau, possibly on war prisoners. They are mutated creatures that can crawl quickly on the floor and walls. They attack by exploding when near the player. They appear in Metal Slug 2 and X.

Martians: Also known like "Mars People", are Squid-like alien invaders who ally with the Rebel Army (they provide all technology for crate all the machines and weapons). Appear in Metal Slug 2, X, and 3 and with both the Regular Army and the Rebel Army in 6. There are 3 different kinds based on color and weapons:

• Gray: They are the normal infantry of martians.

• Brown: A one level up. The can be more dangerous than grey martians, also resists more than they.

• White: They are the most dangerous of mars army. their attacks in addition with their resistence make of them enemies of elite.

• Also present in UFO's that fire single shots. The black UFO is more powerful and resistent than grey UFO. Only grey martians drive it.

• Exist another type of UFO that doesn´t need a driver for fly and attack (another exaple about amazing martian technology). They are very fast in their moves and attacks. ONLY AVAIBLE on Metal Slug 3 and 6.

Note: You can see UFOs in some leves of metal slug 1, 2, 3 and X. Just watch the sky.

Chowmein-Conga: Large mutated crabs that appear in the Dr. Moreau's Island (Apparently, he is the responsible of all experiments about mummies, zombies, mutants and animals from this island. They attack with toxic bubbles and their pincers. Only appear on Metal Slug 3.

When you touch some jellyfish you'll die by a electrical unloading.

Eels: Others aquatic experiments with animals of Dr. Moreau. Those very giant eels are in part beneficial and dangerous too. They only want eat jellyfishes (the great only) but be careful with the small jellyfish that they remove from fissures. Also take care with their atacks or you'll can be squashed.
