'''Foutch''', also known as '''the Guardian of [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]''', is a boss character who appears in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and its remakes. He is the protector of the third [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask of Polokus]].

==Description==
==Description==
Foutch is a hovering, legless, yellow-coloured creature with a pyramidal head, which floats slightly apart from his body. His fists and chest are decorated with fiery insignia, and his arms appear to be made of a transparent, glassy substance. In the Dreamcast version, he glows with a blue aura; in the other versions, his head glows yellow, and the rest of him remains dull. Foutch is the Guardian of [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], a level themed around the classical element of fire. However, Foutch is only encountered in the next level, [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], where the [[Four Masks of Polokus|third mask of Polokus]] is hidden. The benevolent god [[Polokus]] created Foutch and the other Guardians to watch over [[Four Masks of Polokus|these masks]]. Once the [[Four Masks of Polokus|four masks]] are reunited, [[Polokus]] can be reawakened, and can aid in [[Rayman]]'s quest to defeat the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. Foutch is the most aggressive of the four Guardians. In the PlayStation version of the game, the [[Grand Minimus]] reveals that Foutch has been driven insane by the destruction of the [[Heart of the World]]. He will no longer listen to reason, and believes [[Rayman]] to be a lying thief who has come to steal the [[Four Masks of Polokus|mask]] for malevolent purposes. [[Ly]] the Fairy attempted to ‘contact his spirit’, but was unable to soothe him in the way she soothed [[Umber]].

Foutch is a hovering, legless, yellow-coloured creature with a pyramidal head, which floats slightly apart from his body. His fists and chest are decorated with fiery insignia, and his arms appear to be made of a transparent, glassy substance. In the Dreamcast version, he glows with a blue aura; in the other versions, his head glows yellow, and the rest of him remains dull. Foutch is the Guardian of [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], a level themed around the classical element of fire. However, Foutch is only encountered in the next level, [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], where the third [[four Masks of Polokus|Mask of Polokus]] is hidden. The benevolent god [[Polokus]] created Foutch and the other Guardians to watch over these Masks. Once the four Masks are reunited, Polokus can be reawakened, and can aid in [[Rayman]]'s quest to defeat the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. Foutch is the most aggressive of the four Guardians, who were created by Polokus to protect the Masks. In the Sony PlayStation version of the game, the [[Grand Minimus]] reveals that Foutch has been driven insane by the destruction of [[the Heart of the World]]. He will no longer listen to reason, and believes Rayman to be a lying thief who has come to steal the Mask for malevolent purposes. [[Ly the Fairy]] attempted to ‘contact his spirit’, but was unable to soothe him in the way she soothed [[Umber]].
==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==
In each version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Foutch plays the same role (with the exception of ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', in which the Guardians are all omitted). Foutch appears near the end of the level [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]. Catching [[Rayman]] by surprise, he punches the hero, causing him to tumble into Foutch's magma-filled arena, permanently stripping him of his new [[super helicopter]] power in the progress. The fight begins. In the PlayStation version, [[Rayman]] unsuccessfully attempts to reason with the Guardian first. Throughout the fight, Foutch chases [[Rayman]] around his circular arena while hurling horizontal and vertical beams of fire at him. In order to defeat him, [[Rayman]] must use [[Spider (Rayman 2)|spider]]-webs to bounce himself high in the air, then use his [[magic fist]] to strike down overhanging stalactites. If a stalactite lands on Foutch's head, he is injured; this is quite similar to the method by which [[Rayman]] defeated the first Guardian, [[Axel]], except that Foutch requires three hits rather than one. Each stalactite will inflict 13 damage upon him, out of his [[resistance]] of 30. When defeated, he explodes, releasing a number of [[Red Lum]]s, as well as [[Purple Lum]]s which can be used escape the arena and find the [[Four Masks of Polokus|third mask]]. It is not clear if Foutch was destroyed or not; in the PlayStation version, he and [[Axel]] can be re-fought an unlimited number of times, but in the other versions they never appear again after they have been defeated.


Foutch was originally meant to be the guardian of the [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], then called "The Sanctuary of Lava and Fire", but he was eventually switched with [[Umber]].<ref>This information comes from the lines "The Sanctuary of Lava and Fire" and "FOUTCH: Guardian of the sanctuary of lava and fire" in [[Rayman 2 (early production)|early demos]] of the game.</ref>

''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' contains an additional minigame entitled [[Ray-Type Challenge]], which is based on the [[Menezis]] minigame from the PC and Dreamcast versions of the game. Ray-Type Challenge is a sidescrolling shooter game. The player controls [[Rayman]], who sits astride a [[flying shell]] which is flying through space. He must overcome numerous obstacles, including [[piranha]]s, [[bat]]s, [[Robo-Pirate]] projectiles and [[Boss Chenille]]s, either by shooting them or manoeuvring around them. As the minigame progresses, [[Rayman]] eventually encounters Foutch, who is its most powerful opponent. Once [[Rayman]] defeats him, he explodes, and the minigame continues as normal; it runs on indefinitely until [[Rayman]] loses his three [[Life|lives]], allowing Foutch to be encountered an unlimited number of times.
