Morolian Monroe, or The Funkiest Dancebot Morolian Monroe, is a boss in Space Channel 5. It is the Morolian's strongest creation, which was left hidden in the center of the Morolian Base as a trap after their secret base's location got leaked.
The green robot is called Morolian[1] (Morolin! in the Japanese version of the game)[1] and the pink one is called Monroe.[1]
Character Info[]
Appearance[]
Morolian Monroe is a pair of robots, Morolian and Monroe, hence its name. Morolian is a pastel green robot with a large eye and two hands, each with three round fingers. It differs from Monroe in that it is perpetually smiling, has no feet, and had two long antennae. Monroe is a reddish pink robot, similar in design to its counterpart. However, Monroe is perpetually frowning, and also has two featureless feet.
When separated, one of Morolian's antennae moves to its bottom half. Monroe loses its feet and gains a round antenna on top of its head. In addition, and more notably, its mouth opens, from which it fires screens, containing either Morolians or hostages.
