The '''Grolgoth''' is a giant robot which [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] uses in an attempt to put a stop to [[Rayman]] at [[the Crow's Nest]]. Piloted by [[Razorbeard]], it is the final boss of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance/N-GAGE version of ''Rayman 3'']].

At a very late point in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Razorbeard]] is visited by [[the General]], a character who first appeared in ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'', another [[Ubisoft]] game which [[Michel Ancel]] worked on. [[The General]] advertises the Grolgoth and its functions to [[Razorbeard]]. [[Admiral Razorbeard|The Admiral]] pictures the contraption crushing and shaking [[Rayman]] to death with its deadly grasp, and decides to buy it, giving [[the General]] a chest of gold as payment. He then prepares for his attack while [[Rayman]] is makes his way through [[the Prison Ship]].

The Grolgoth is a large machine comprising of a large, golden-coloured bulk, with articulable arms and legs, similar to those of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. The Grolgoth's hemisphere-shaped head can extend from the body, revealing the entrance to this robotic marvel. [[Razorbeard]] jumps in and slides down a rope. At the bottom is located a cockpit, from which [[Razorbeard]] controls the machine. For its right hand, it has a cannon, which fires [[helicopter bomb]]s that [[Rayman]] will have to [[Magic fist|shoot]] back at the Grolgoth in order to hurt it. The other hand has a hook, which sees no use in the battle. The Grolgoth can also shoot large energy balls from the soles of its feet.

A diagram of the Grolgoth can be found on a table in the [[Pirate Factory]], an area exclusive to ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. This paradoxically seems to suggest that the [[Robo-Pirate]]s created the Grolgoth, or had some awareness of it prior to the cutscene in which [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] purchases it from [[the General]].

[[Razorbeard]] places the Grolgoth at the top of the mast on the ''[[Buccaneer]]''. He also places [[Globox]], dangling over the edge of the ship from a large elevator's antenna. Before [[Razorbeard]] shoots [[Globox]] to his doom, [[Rayman]] appears through the elevator, shouting that [[Razorbeard]] shall leave [[Globox]] alone. [[Razorbeard]] takes advantage of [[Rayman]]'s position and shoots down the elevator. As [[Razorbeard]] believes himself victorious, [[Rayman]] pulls himself back up on the platform. After checking to ensure that [[Globox]] is safe, the fight begins.

The Grolgoth is immune to [[Rayman]]'s [[magic fist]], and starts with heavy attacks such as shooting [[helicopter bomb]]s, fast energy balls and trying to jump on [[Rayman]] to squash him. [[Rayman]] will have to shoot the [[helicopter bomb]]s back at the Grolgoth, but straight on, otherwise the Grolgoth will evade them.

After [[Rayman]] has hit the Grolgoth three times, a cutscene starts in which [[Razorbeard]] make the Grolgoth jump on [[Rayman]] and squash him, but the jump cuts short, causing the Grolgoth to break the platform on which the fight is occurring. Both [[Rayman]] and the Grolgoth fall down into the heart of the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', a chamber filled with boiling lava.
