Amoeba (アメーバ Amēba ) is a recurring enemy in the Gradius series.
Description[]
Amoebas are organic creatures first introduced in Cell, the sixth stage in Gradius. They will commonly appear in other games of the series. A more larger version, Amoeba MK II, appears in Nemesis 3.
Attack patterns[]
Amoebas float towards the Vic Viper. They are often found tucked into the crystal-like growth that must be shot through in the Cell stage, but will leave through this growth to reach the Vic Viper no matter what.
Anime[]
Amoeba makes a very brief appearance in the third episode of the Salamander anime.
