'''Clark the Giant''' is a character who appears in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes. He makes his first appearance in [[the Menhir Hills]], except for ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', in which he first appears in [[the Minisaurus Plain]], or [[the East Plain]] if the player does not access the area before obtaining [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask]]. Clark is one of [[Rayman]]'s strongest allies, and can hold his own against even a large group of [[Robo-Pirate]]s. His only weakness is his somewhat sensitive stomach.

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.

{{quote|text=A mountain of muscles, Clark is an army all by himself. With one mighty blow, he can send an entire regiment of [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] flying.

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 [[the Menhir Hills]], [[Rayman]] arrives in a [[Elite Troop Training Center|Pirate Academy]]. There, he discovers that all the [[Robo-Pirate]]s have been destroyed, thanks to Clark. Clark, however, accidentally swallowed a rusty [[Robo-Pirate|robot]] part in the heat of battle and, thanks to his sensitive stomach, became sick—possibly fatally. To save his friend, [[Rayman]] must travel to [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] to find [[Elixir of Life|a cure]]. Though before the [[Jano|guardian of the Cave of Bad Dreams]] did not allow [[Rayman]] entry, Clark gives [[Rayman]] the knowledge he needs to enter.

To defeat Clark, [[Rayman]] has to press three [[switch]]es to turn on a [[laser]] beam, and then trip the giant on it. Once the giant was tripped, [[Rayman]] could attack the remote-control 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 takes him to the next level.

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.

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

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Clark's first appearance is either outside or at [[the East Plain]] in [[the Minisaurus Plains]]. If [[Rayman]] has not completed [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] and heads along the path towards [[the East Plain]], a gang of [[Robo-Pirate]]s will ambush him. Though it will look like he is defeated, [[Rayman]] is happy to see Clark ambushing the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]]. Clark chases the [[Robo-Pirate]]s into [[the East Plain]], 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 East Plain]]. If [[Rayman]] enters [[The East Plain|the Plain]] 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.

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 [[the Whale Bay]]. If [[Rayman]] passes [[the 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.
