"''Hey, little buddy. Wanna arm wrestle?''" - Clark, ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''

'''Clark the Giant''' was a character from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and its remakes, ''[[Rayman 2: Revolution]]'' and ''[[Rayman DS]]''. In ''Rayman 2'' and ''Rayman DS'', Clark makes his first appearance in the [[Menhir Hills]]. In ''Revolution'', he makes his first appearance in the [[Minisaurus Plains]] (or the [[Eastern Plains]] if the player does not access the area before obtaining the first [[Four Masks of Polokus|mask]]).

==Creation==
Clark was one of the first of the people created by [[Polokus]] in the early days of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. Clark was created to fold the land into hills and to dig out valleys and lakes.

==Main Role in Rayman 2==
===The Menhir Hills===
Clark, like [[Globox]] and [[Carmen]], was one of the characters-in-distress that [[Rayman]] had to help out following his adventures in the [[Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] ([[Whale Bay]] in the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2''). In all versions of the game, Clark plays his first major role in the [[Menhir Hills]] and is the first of the People that Rayman must save.

After dashing through the dangerous Menhir Hills, Rayman arrives in a Pirate Academy. There, he discovers that all the [[Robo-Pirate Army|Robo-Pirates]] have been destroyed, thanks to Clark. Clark, however, accidentally swallowed a robot part and became sick--possibly fatally. To save his friend, Rayman must travel to [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] to find a cure. Though before the [[Guardian of the Cave of Bad Dreams]] did not allow Rayman entry, Clark gives Rayman the knowledge he needs to enter.

===The Menhir Hills Revisit===
Following Rayman's triumph over the cave guardian, Rayman returns through the trials of the Menhir Hills and gives Clark the [[Elixir of Life]]. Grateful and full of rejuvenated energy, Clark agrees to be Rayman's bodyguard for the duration of the level. Clark uses his special ability--crashing through wooden walls--to allow Rayman to pass through the academy and (in ''Rayman 2'' and ''Rayman DS'') into the next level.

===Tomb of the Ancients===
Clark was somehow captured following the events of the Menhir Hills, and in the end was brought to a secret laboratory deep within the [[Tomb of the Ancients]]. By the time Rayman finds his powerful friend, it is too late; Clark has been brainwashed by [[Admiral Razorbeard's Lackey]] and is being controlled via Remote Control. This leads to an unexpected boss battle against Clark.

To defeat Clark, Rayman had to press three switches to turn on a laser beam, and then trip the giant on it. Once the giant was tripped, Rayman could attack the RC pack on Clark's back. After a while of doing this, the pack was destroyed and Clark was saved once and for all. After doing a dance with Rayman, Clark assists Rayman in reaching the warp spot that (in ''Rayman 2'') takes him to the next level.

===After the Tomb===
Clark's final appearance in all the versions of ''Rayman 2'' is after the fight with [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]]. Clark is waiting with other good characters for Rayman's return.

==Minor Roles in Rayman Revolution==
Clark's primary role in ''Rayman Revolution'' (other than his level appearances) is opening up the [[Globox's House]], [[Rainbow Creek]], and [[Iron Mountains]] areas of the game. He is visited after every sanctuary level.

===The Eastern Plains===
In ''Rayman 2: Revolution'', Clark's first appearance is either outside or at the [[Eastern Plains]] in the [[Minisaurus Plains]]. If Rayman has not completed the [[Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] and heads along the path towards the Eastern Plains, a gang of Robo-Pirates will ambush him. Though it will look like he is defeated, Rayman is happy to see Clark ambushing the ''pirates''. Clark chases the Robo-Pirates into the Eastern Plains, yelling threats. If Rayman never trots in this direction before his destination becomes the Menhir Hills, this scene will not happen.

Clark's next appearance is following the Sanctuary of Water and Ice. The [[Teensie]] at the Minisaurus Plains' [[Teensie Circle]] will tell Rayman that Clark is waiting in the Eastern Plains. If Rayman enters the Plains and ascends the cliff-side bridge, he will eventually find Clark. Clark uses his wall-breaking ability to pave entry to the [[Globox's House]] area of the [[Front]]. Clark does not re-appear until the Menhir Hills level.

===The Capture of Clark===
Clark plays the same role after Rayman has completed the [[Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. The Teensie of Globox's House tells Rayman that Clark is waiting for him by [[Whale Bay]]. If Rayman passes Whale Bay and follows the nearby beach, he will encounter Clark waiting by a bridge. Clark will crash through a wooden wall, and he and Rayman pass through it.

Clark then passes through another wooden wall at the far end of a mountainous arena. However, before Rayman can follow, Robo-Pirates flood out of the hole, presumably capturing Clark in the process and taking him to the Tomb of the Ancients. Rayman must battle wave after wave of Robo-Pirates arcade-style; however, once the road to the [[Rainbow Creek]] is clear Clark is nowhere to be found.

Later, following the [[Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], the Teensie of the Rainbow Cliffs tells Rayman that Clark's location has been found. Rayman must return to [[Skull Cave]] to locate the Tomb of the Ancients.

===The Iron Mountains===
Clark's final act follows the Tomb of the Ancients. Rayman must meet Clark by a wooden wall near the Rainbow Cliffs' Teensie Circle. Clark busts the wall, allowing Rayman access to [[the Iron Mountains]].

===Sub-Sequent Appearances===
Clark makes a final in-game appearance after Rayman has completed [[the Prison Ship]]. He joins Rayman's other friends in waiting for him by the bullet taking Rayman to [[the Crow's Nest]].

Clark next appears during the final credits, in which he plays the electric guitar.

==Trivia==
*Clark is the only good guy in ''Rayman 2: Revolution'' other than [[Murfy]] to not have his home visited.
*His name is not to be confused with '''Clark the Superrabbid''' from [[Rayman Raving Rabbids]].
