Utan

Utan' is a support character from Metal Slug 3.

Information
He is found in a cage in two places:


 * The upper path of the Mission 1's second crossroad segment which leads to a tunnel full of Chowmein-Congas and Ohumein-Congas (i.e. giant crabs).


 * Not far into Mission 2, at the top of an overhang.

Once freed by destroying the cage (either with a shot or melee attack), he will assist the player by firing short bursts from his Mac-10 submachine-gun at attackers. Unfortunately, he is less than a perfect shot, and will often stop to sleep, eat bananas, pick his nose, or scratch his private parts. The Mac-10 bullets are also very weak, and while one is sufficient to kill a Rebel Soldier, they are next to useless against the two most common enemies he comes up against: Chowmein/Ohumein-Congas, and zombies.

Like Hyakutaro, he will run away if the player is killed or zombified; however, Utan is able to catch up with the player as the screen's left side pushes him forwards.
