A '''Shell''' is a highly-explosive, rocket-shaped, animalistic robot in [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]] and its remakes. They were built by [[Robo-Pirate Army|the Pirates]], and are used by them to guard passages. They chase [[Rayman]] if he comes within their line of sight. If Rayman manages to avoid touching them for long enough as they chase him, they become tamed, and [[Rayman]] can jump on their backs and ride them. This can be done easily if they are sleeping, in which case it is unnecessary to tame them. If they hit [[Rayman]], or any other object or creature, they will explode, which can cause the player some health loss.

There are three makes of shell: the [[Flying shell]]s, the [[Walking shell]]s, and the [[red Walking Shell]]s.


[[Rayman]] first come across the [[Walking shell]]s in [[the Menhir Hills]], [[red Walking Shell]]s in [[the Precipice]], and [[Flying shell]]s in [[the Prison Ship]].

[[Walking Shell]]s are also found in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], in the level [[Prickly Passage]] in the world [[Haunted Dreams]]. [[Red Walking Shell]]s are also found in this game; they are untameable, and fly towards Rayman when he gets too close, which is not unlike their behaviour in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''.
A '''shell''' (also known as a '''Walking Bullet''' or a '''Walking Missile'''<ref>The name comes from [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape : Le Guide Officiel|the official French guide of ''Rayman 2'']].</ref>) is a highly-explosive, rocket-shaped, animalistic robot found in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes, as well as [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]. They were built by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and are used by them to guard passages. They chase [[Rayman]] if he comes within their line of sight. If [[Rayman]] manages to avoid touching them for long enough as they chase him, they become tired and [[Rayman]] can jump on their backs and ride them. This can be done easily if they are already asleep, in which case it is unnecessary to tame them. If they hit [[Rayman]], or any other object or creature, they will explode, which can cause the player some health loss. There are three makes of shell: the [[flying shell]]s, the [[walking shell]]s, and the [[red shell]]s. All three types can be avoided or punched to delay or stop them in their tracks.
Shells are useful sources of transport, as they can take the player over unsuitable terrain, such as lava or prickily areas. [[Flying shell]]s are unable touch lava, however, and [[Walking Shell]]s are unable to go on water.

Shells can also be found as enemies in ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]''. They appear only in [[the Echoing Caves]] and cannot be tamed.

Shells are useful sources of transport, as they can take the player over unsuitable terrain, such as lava or [[nettle]]-covered areas. [[Flying shell]]s are unable to touch lava, however, and [[walking shell]]s are unable to go on water. In [[the Iron Mountains]], the [[walking shell]] can climb onto walls of any direction without falling down as long as the player does not make a mistake and there is a smooth surface.

==Appearance==
The shells can be recognised by their horse sound effects, two black legs and shoes (however, in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] and in some ''[[Rayman 2]]'' artwork, they are seen with silver legs with yellow knees and shoes) and a rocket shaped body, with a [[Robo-Pirate|pirate head]] pattern on one side. They come in yellow, but the [[flying shell]]s are grey.
Shells are of a friendly disposition, but they are programmed as guards and will attack if [[Rayman]] is in range.
