'''Clark the Giant''' is a character who appears in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes, although he does not appear in [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color adaptation]]. 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.

This leads to an unexpected boss battle against Clark.


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.

===[[The East Plain]]===
===[[The East Plain]]===
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.

===The capture of Clark===
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.

Clark then passes through another wooden wall at the far end of a mountainous arena. However, before [[Rayman]] can follow, [[Robo-Pirate]]s flood out of the hole, presumably capturing Clark in the process and taking him to the [[Tomb of the Ancients]]. [[Rayman]] must battle wave after wave of [[Robo-Pirate]]s arcade-style; however, once the road to the [[Rainbow Creek]] is clear Clark is nowhere to be found.

==In the cancelled Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 2''==
Back when [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] was still [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance, early production)|an adaptation of ''Rayman 2'']], Clark was meant to appear as a boss. He was however replaced by [[Scaleman]], the boss of [[Scaleman's Keep]], as the game became an adaptation of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' instead.
==In ''[[Rayman 3]]''==
The book ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'' revealed that Clark was planned to appear in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' but [[Rayman 3 (early production)|eventually scrapped]] for unknown reasons. Textures of Clark have been found in the game's files.
