"Hey boss... McCoy's lookin' mighty strange." |
Enemigos are the goons of Hex Hatfield, who runs one of the largest crime rings in town, as well as being associated with Malana Mire. They try to prevent Cactus McCoy from getting to the home of the emerald by their various weapons. When an Enemigo is defeated, he drops his money and even his weapon, if the player is lucky. In the first game, the probability of getting his weapon will increase as Cactus McCoy juggles him more. They appear in every area.
