Snake Man is a Robot Master with a snake motif created by Dr. Wily and Dr. Light to investigate narrow areas and survey topography on uninhabited planets marked for development. Snake Man was well-suited for work on any kind of terrain. This caught the attention of Dr. Wily, who stole him, reprogrammed him for combat, and sent him to work in order to fulfill his schemes. Snake Man is intelligent and shrewd, but he can also be tenacious. He enjoys actively hunting and cornering his prey.
