Roper

Roper (ローパー) is an recurring enemy in the Double Dragon series. Debuting in the arcade version of the original Double Dragon, Rowper is the second most recurring minor enemy in the game, next to Williams himself. He has short black hair and wears a shirtless vest with matching colored pants and spiked shoulder pads. Like Williams, Rowper appears in a variety of different outfit colors and skin tones, which changes with each stage. His fighting style is not much different from Williams, the main difference being that Rowper can not only wield all the same weapons that Williams uses (the baseball bat, the throwing knife and the dynamite stick), but he can also lift and throw heavy objects such as oil drums, packaging boxes and rolling stones at the player.

Rowper exclusively wields heavy objects in the NES and Game Boy versions, which only appears when he's around. However, in the Mode B minigame in the NES version, he can also wield a tonfa when two players are competing. His techniques consists primarily of jabs and a back spin kick. Player 1 controls the Rowper in the blue outfit, while Player 2 controls the one in the green outfit.
