Along with [[Ludiv]]s and [[greenbottle]]s, they are found in the [[cage]]s instead of [[Yellow Lum]]s. Yellow and brown in colour, and resembling some sort of chicken or dinosaur, they are identical to baby Minisaurus, a species found only in [[the Minisaurus Plain]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. It is very likely that Denys and Minisaurus are the same species. | |||

In this game, Minisaurus are slow-moving creatures who live in herds. They wear red and green chequered overalls and have two spindly wings on their backs. They have frills on their heads like a cockerel and brown spots on their yellow bodies as well as oversized beaks and arms. They only appear in [[the Minisaurus Plain]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.

They wear red and green chequered overalls and have two spindly wings on their backs. They have frills on their heads like a cockerel and brown spots on their yellow bodies as well as oversized beaks and arms. They only appear in [[the Minisaurus Plain]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. According to a [[baby Globox]], he owns them, but the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]]' interference in the world, such as the destruction of the [[Heart of the World]], has driven them mad, and now they eat the [[Popolopoï]]s. [[Rayman]] can daze them, but they can bite him back. Minisaurus are larger versions of [[Deny]]s, creatures found in [[cage]]s in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Like Denys, the baby Minisaurus emit a high-pitched squeaking and bounce around when they are separated from their parents. The noise can be heard from [[the Pier]]. Baby Minisaurus are quite calm, not attacking [[Rayman]] when he comes into sight, unlike the adults, who relentlessly chase down intruders. There are only two babies and four adults in the whole game. | ||
It is possible to lure a Minisaurus off of a cliff. First, [[Rayman]] needs to alert their attention, then run towards the cliff near [[the Pier]] and jump off. The Minisaurus will likely jump off the cliff along with [[Rayman]]. They will continue hugging the cliff wall and wade into the [[piranha]]-infested water. They will not appear back on the cliff when the player gets back up. However, if [[Rayman]] dies or exits the level, the Minisaurus will reappear. | |||

[[ | ==Trivia== | ||
*Of the three species rescued from cages in the [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'']], the Denys are the only species to not appear in the [[Rayman 2|original version of the game]]. A [[Ludiv]] appeared in the [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus level]] of the [[Rayman 2|original version of the game]] whilst the [[greenbottle]]s were represented by [[Murfy]]. However, while at the time, the Denys were unique to the [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|PlayStation version of the game]], their model has since been used for the Minisaurus in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. | |||
*Minisaurus were supposed to appear in the original version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. An artwork from an early stage of development describes them as "chickens",<ref>"Portrait de famille", [[:File:R2 Portraitdefamille.jpg]]</ref> suggesting that [[Zombie Chicken]]s might have hatched from Minisaurus eggs. | |||
