Novo (ノボ) is a minor automated boss character from the first Strider and all its ports. It appears as a laser-firing static mini-boss during the game.
Novo is basically an anti-personal laser battery installed for self-defense purposes and is formed by an irregular-shaped pod with 4 laser emitters on its top and what appears to be an eye on its front, as well as a red energy gauge that depletes as it receives damage.
