"Kapousus Grosilus" as this [[Shadow Creatures|Shadow Creature]] apparently also is named, serves as a miniboss in [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] in [[Rayman 2: Revolution]].  
'''Boss Chenille''' ('''''Kapounus Grobilus''''') is a boss which appears only in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', where it is fought [[beneath the Lava Sanctuary]].


== Description ==
Boss Chenille looks just like a normal [[caterpillar]], but with some significant differences: whereas they are a purplish-black in colour, Boss Chenille is blood-red; Boss Chenille is also somewhat larger, and it eyes are identical to the [[baby caterpillar]]s' ones.


Chenille is a large, reddish version of the common [[Shadow Creatures]].  
Boss Chenille is found in a room [[beneath the Lava Sanctuary]]. It is summoned by [[Rayman]] performing a [[Rain Dance]] on what looks like a greyish version of one of the [[Magic Sphere]]s' bases. When this is done, it emits a beam of light towards another such base. When [[Rayman]] [[Magic fist|shoots]] it, it too emits a beam of light towards another base. After [[Magic fist|shooting]] several more bases, the beam of light has finished its circumnavigation of the chamber; a door opens, and Boss Chenille enters.
It is stronger than all other [[Shadow Creatures]], as it can endure multiple hits and after being shot, it loses a limb, which will additionally will attack [[Rayman]]. When [[Rayman]] shoots the attacking limb, it will die and split into additionally four of the small flying [[Shadow Creatures]], which then will attack [[Rayman]].
Until all limbs has been killed, '''Chenille''' won't die. However the battle is finished quickly and [[Rayman]] can move on into the Sanctuary.  


== Role in Game ==
When [[Rayman]] strikes Boss Chenille with his [[magic fist]], a red [[baby caterpillar]] splits away from its body. When the hero [[Magic fist|shoots]] it, it splits into five black [[baby caterpillar]]s. When they are killed, Boss Chenille's health meter decreases. As the battle wears on, the segments of Boss Chenille's body slowly disappear; by the end, it resembles an enormous red version of one of the [[baby caterpillar]]s. When this final form is defeated, Boss Chenille vanishes for good. A rockfall then occurs, the door Boss Chenille came in by opens, and [[Red Lum]]s appear where the bases stood.


'''Rayman 2: Revolution'''
The first clue as to Boss Chenille's identity is its name; ''Chenille'' is the French word for ''Caterpillar'', while the name ''Boss'' implies that it may possibly be a leader. And during the battle, Boss Chenille spawns [[baby caterpillar]]s from its body. All of this led to speculation that Boss Chenille may be the progenitor or ‘mother’ of the [[Caterpillar (disambiguation)|caterpillar]] species, in addition to the speculation that it is their leader.


It is unknown why '''Chenille''' appears in this peticular level, but it is possible that it serves as a guardian to the entrance of the Sanctuary. It is possible that [[Razorbeard]] may have cut a deal with these creatures to stop [[Rayman]] from proceeding to the Third Mask. It could also be possible that '''Chenille''' has made a home in the Sanctuary and is simply protecting it's own home.

== Origin and race ==
{{R2characters}}
What Chenille's Purpose for other than attacking [[Rayman]] at the entrance to the [[Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] is, remains unknown. '''Chenille''' is a character that only appears once and no information about it can be found. Some suggest that '''Chenille''' is the leader of the [[Shadow Creatures]], considering it's outstanding appearence and strength.
