** Some of the enemies are even more bizarre: they have a different weak spot against different weapons. For example, [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Wolfgunblood's]] head is weak to fire weapons and the Buster Force, while [[Mechanical Horse|Garopa's]] head is weak to the Lancer Force. Though Homing Force says the target on Wolfgunblood is [[Groin Attack|somewhere else entirely]].

* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: Wolfgunblood is a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|anthropomorphic cyborg cowboy wolf]] with a [[Gatling Good|gatling]] [[Arm Cannon]], riding on a [[Mechanical Horse]], Garopa. And it's one of the most [[Badass]], if not [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|strangest boss fights]] in the game. See the picture at the top of the page.

* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Averted. Limited ammunition for your strongest weapons is one of the largest threats you face. It only recharges when you collect a new weapon, or switch to a different one.

* [[Bullet Catch]]: Epsilon-Eagle's main ability. Hit the shoot button twice to create a small forcefield that turns enemy fire into health. Make sure you don't do this with a Lancer equipped, though.

* [[Cast from Hit Points]]: At full health (health bar flashing white), Epsilon-Eagle can utilize a fiery teleport-dash which destroys any [[Mooks]] in its path as well as heavily damaging bosses. However, this attack does come at the cost of a few hit points, so you need to collect the rather [[Helpful Mook|frequently-dropped]] health powerups.
