Haniwa Mirror (ハニワミラー), known in English as Haniwa, is a haniwa-type Medarot that first appeared in Medarot 2.

Description

Like its predecessor Haniwa Golem, Haniwa Mirror is based on a haniwa, a type of terracotta clay figure left in burial sites in ancient Japan. Its upper half resembles a humanoid haniwa figure, while its legs are intended to look like a horse haniwa (despite the dragon-like appearance), with a long tail and neck consisting of flexible blue tubes. Its arms feature round shields covered in red jewels, which it can use to effectively deflect lasers and other light-based attacks.

The Japanese name for its leg part (Chaowan) may be a play on Haniwa Golem's "Haniwan" legs and the Japanese word for "tea dish" (茶お碗, cha owan). Its name was shortened to Haniwa in the English version of Medarot 2 Core.

In the games

Like Haniwa Golem before it, Haniwa Mirror is a hover-type Medarot whose sole function is Negate Optical. Although incapable of attacking on its own, any Medarots equipped with its head or arm parts become immune to Laser and Beam attacks.

Its parts have the Negate attribute, making them most compatible with the Ghost Medal.
