'''Céloche''',<ref>[https://youtu.be/E8Ne1xHP07c?t=125 Rayman 3 Press Kit - Digital Press Kit]</ref> also known as '''Leviathan''',<ref>The name comes from [[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc: Official Strategy Guide|the official strategy guide of ''Rayman 3'']].</ref> is a mechanical marine boss who appears in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. He is fought underwater in [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]] and is presumably controlled by a [[Hoodlum]].

Céloche's first and only appearance is in the third final part of [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]]. After [[Rayman]] travels through a network of underwater tunnels decorated with [[Teensie]] carvings, he ends up at a large, round, underwater cavern, into which Céloche jumps from above. At first he attacks by opening his mouth and releasing a metal [[fish]] which [[Rayman]] cannot see for the rest of the battle; this is the device that disperses the homing missiles which follow [[Rayman]] around and damage him if he does not avoid them. To defeat Céloche, [[Rayman]] must let the missiles follow him and then do an underwater somersault while in-between the missiles and Céloche, which causes them to miss and hit him instead of [[Rayman]]. This is reminiscent of the method by which [[Rayman]] defeats the [[Grolgoth]] in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Céloche can also fire a horizontally-moving [[laser]] beam at [[Rayman]], which [[Rayman]] can dodge with a somersault. Céloche's powerful turret is also capable of firing blasts very similar to those used by [[Armaguiddon]]s later in the game.

When defeated, Céloche collapses onto the lake bed. The metal [[fish]] spins around and explodes.

==Trivia==
*Céloche's battle theme is a remixed version of the music played when [[Rayman]] is underwater, before the fight begins.
*It is highly likely that Céloche's design was inspired by that of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripod_(The_War_of_the_Worlds) Martian tripod] from H.G. Wells's classic science fiction novel, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds ''The War of the Worlds'']. Both are gigantic, mechanical tripods; both are piloted by antagonists; both use a Heat-Ray weapon; and both are capable of traversing both land and water.
*Céloche's 'eyes', the 'face' on its turret, the 'eyes' on the metal [[fish]] and details on the side of the laser cannon use a texture from ''[[Rayman 2]]'', identical to the portholes found in [[Robo-Pirate]] strongholds.
*Whenever Céloche's turret recoils after firing a shot, boxing gloves similar to those used by [[Slapdash]]es appear on the muzzles for a frame.
