The Majority of the Henchmen are largely the same.

The '''Robo-Pirates''' (or '''Henchmen''') are an army of spacefaring robotic pirates, led by the evil [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]]. They are best known for their role in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where they invade the [[Glade of Dreams]] and become the main threat which [[Rayman]] must defeat. The Robo-Pirates also appear in several other games in [[Rayman (series)|the series]], including [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']].
 
==Models==
==Models==
There are many different pirate models, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
===Henchman 800===
{{Main|Henchman 800}}
 
The majority of the [[Henchman 800|Henchmen]] are largely the same. Their head is like a metallic [[skull]] with an earring on one side, with a face like the front of a steam engine. Also, one eye is completely black, as if they have an eye patch. Their torso basically consists of a cube-like shape with a coloured vest on it. The vest is slightly torn at the bottom. They have two arms, both of which end in a cylinder-like structure. On one side, the cylinder is hollow - this is where they fire their bullets from. The other side has a large hook, which they often use for swiping at close range. Their two legs have striped pants that are similar to the vest in that they are torn at the bottom. Their feet are basically black shoes with brass buckles on them. [[Henchman 800]]s also can hold swords, as seen in one of [[The Sanctuary of Water and Ice#PlayStation 2 version|the Lost Island]]'s rooms.

===Henchman 1000===
{{Main|Henchman 1000}}
 
A most perfected version of the [[Henchman 800]]. These types of Robo-Pirates bear a number of differences in appearance with the older ones: they have a hand on their right arm instead of a hook, and they are wearing a paper hat and a fake moustache. These pirates usually speak Spanish (when they talk). They have only been seen once, as an unlockable character in ''[[Rayman M]]''. The [[Henchman 1000]] main theme is country rock.


===Basic Henchman===
<gallery widths="320px" heights="240px">
The basic Henchman are the standard model, that come in different colours and have different weapons, but all look largely the same. They are sometimes appear in the level by parachuting or popping out of the ground with a drill. More than often they are found sleeping on the job.

====Green====
===Zombie Henchman 800===
These have a green vest with green and white striped pants. They have very little health and generally just stand still and slowly shoot, however they sometimes throw powder kegs.
{{Main|Zombie Henchman 800}}
In the PS1 version, however, they have lots of life, making them difficult to kill, but only ever throw kegs.


====Purple====
These are old pirates that have been wrecked and rusted, but still walk. Their vests are a pale, rotted yellow, and one of their feet are missing. In addition, their hook hangs limply off the arm and both eyes are black. As a result of their state, they do not move around very well, and walk in a zombie-like manner. Instead of shooting from their arm, the [[Zombie Henchman 800|Zombie Henchmen]] breathes a green poisonous gas towards [[Rayman]]. [[Zombie Henchman 800|Zombie Henchmen]] are very difficult to destroy, as when they appear to be dead, they get up again a few moments later. These are found in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.
These are much like the Green Henchmen, except purple instead of green, and they have much more life.. their bulets are often larger, and they have a habit of firing multiple bullets in quick succession. They move around a bit, sometimes jumping to dodge Rayman's attacks. In the Ps1 version, their bulets are the same but are always fired in sets of three, in between running back and forth. they have more life in the Ps1 version, but not as much as the Green Henchmen.


====Yellow====
<gallery widths="320px" heights="240px">
These are yellow instead of Green or Purple and have much more life, but move very little. instead ofbullets, they lauch streams of fire, which move very quickly, and also throw cannonballs which start a fire where they land which causes damage when Rayman walks on it.

They do not appear in the PS1 version, but are instead replaced with orange henchmen. the orange ones have more life, and move around alot via their drills. they don't throw cannonballs, and instead of a fire stream, just shoot large fireballs.

====Red====
===Ninja Henchmen and Ninjaws===
These are the best of the standard henchmen, and appear with red vests and red and yellow stripes on their pants. They fire missiles which can home in on Rayman, but can be destroyed by rayman's attacks. Red Henchmen have lots of life. although, in the Ps1 version, their rank is inverted and they have very little life and fire only basic shots.
''Main article: [[Ninja Henchman]] and [[Ninjaws]]''
Two Red Henchmen are used as the bodyguards in front of Razorbeard's cabin, even in the Ps1 version. Two of them (probably the same two) also carry globox to his prison cell in the opening movie. later on, one of the bodyguards puts his foot out to trip Razorbeard's lackey, proving that they might have a personality.


===Zombie Henchmen===
The [[Ninja Henchmen]] are very similar to the others, but have a few notable appearance traits and abilities that make them very different. [[Ninjaws]], while identical to the others, is seemingly the elite of them, and at one point returns to [[Razorbeard]]'s cabin claiming to have captured 5000 slaves. In the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] battles [[Ninjaws]] for [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]]. [[Ninja Henchmen]] are more or less completely black and look a little less square. Their heads appear very different. Instead of a [[skull]], it appears as a tall cylinder topped with a red bandana and gold hook on the right arm. [[Ninja Henchmen]] have a lot of [[Resistance|life]], and have the ability to vanish and then reappear somewhere else in a cloud of dust. They either appear near [[Rayman]] and try to hook [[Rayman]], or appear standing back more and try to shoot him. Sometimes they will teleport quickly to different places around [[Rayman]] while shooting, surrounding him with bullets. Their weakness is that their hooks are very heavy. If they miss, it gives [[Rayman]] an opportunity to attack. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', two can be seen in [[Razorbeard]]'s cabin. Later on, they defend the two generators that power the shield at the [[Pirate Factory]], and once the generators are destroyed, the [[Ninja Henchmen]] are no longer seen next to [[Razorbeard]].

Ninja Henchmen have lots of life, and have the ability to vanish and then reappear somewhere else in a cloud of dust. they either appear right near rayman and try to hook rayman, or appear standing back more and try to shoot him. sometimes they teleport quickly to different places around Rayman while shooting, surrounding him with bullets. their weakness is that their hooks are very heavy. if they miss, it gives Rayman an opportunity to attack.
In Rayman Revolution, two can be seen in Razorbeard's cabin. later on, they defend the two generators that power the shield at the pirate factory, and once the generators are destroyed, the ninja henchmen are no longer seen next to Razorbeard.


===Gorilla Pirate===
===Gorilla Pirate===
''Main article: [[Ape Pirate]]''<br>
{{Main|Gorilla Pirate}}
 
The [[Gorilla Pirate]]s are named because of their similarities to an ape or gorilla, in both appearance and behaviour. They are very bulky, and wear a blue and white striped shirt. They cannot be hurt by [[Rayman]]'s attacks, so usually the idea is to lure them off a cliff or ledge, or to throw a [[plum]] at their head and use it as a platform.

===Barrel Pirate===
===Barrel Pirate===
The barrel pirates consist of a large barrel with legs, a cannon on top, and a slit with eyes inside. Sometimes they are found disguising themselves, as the slit can be closed and the legs can be withdrawn. In this state, they just look like a barrel and a cannon.
{{Main|Barrel Pirate}}
Their attacks differ from version to version. On the PlayStation version, they simply fire sets of three large balls of electricity. In [[Rayman 2: Revolution]] however, they fire bolts of lightning that can only be avoided by hiding behind something. In this version, they also launch cannonballs, similar to those used by the yellow henchmen, only it uses a poisonous gas instead of fire. One thing that is consistent in each version is their large amount of life.

===Spyglass Pirate===
{{Main|Spyglass Pirate}}
 
This is the pirate who carries out many of [[Razorbeard]]'s orders. He is unarmed, although his arms are very similar to a typical [[Henchman 800|Henchman]]'s, except with ordinary hands. His body consists of two rough cubes, the lower one larger than the top. The lower one has the legs sticking out of it and a pair of green pants. His head is a basic cube with an opening mouth and a red bandana. Although he has no weapons, he still causes [[Rayman]] trouble. Carrying out [[Razorbeard]]'s orders, he drives the [[Warship]]s which pursue [[Rayman]]. He also controls [[Clark]] at one point via remote control, as well as a giant [[bird]]-like robot called the [[Robot Dinosaur]] in the same manner. Also, in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', he controls a hemispherical vehicle called the [[Boss Biditank]].

==Pirate vehicles==
===Warships===
{{Main|Warship}}
 
[[Warship]]s are flying Pirate ships that attack [[Rayman]] in [[the Bayou]], [[the Canopy]], and [[the Precipice]] (and [[the Echoing Caves]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''). They usually fire slow-moving [[Helicopter bomb|homing bombs]] that move about like a helicopter, and can be easily destroyed by [[Rayman]]'s attacks. They also fire cannonballs, but these are not usually aimed at [[Rayman]], but instead at platforms to blow them away. They may also launch [[walking shell]]s that run towards [[Rayman]] upon landing.

===Robot Dinosaur===
{{Main|Robot Dinosaur}}
 
The [[Robot Dinosaur]] is a giant [[bird]]-like robot controlled by the [[Spyglass Pirate]]. It is only ever named in the PlayStation version, but also appear in the others. The [[Grand Minimus]] tells [[Rayman]] that this Robotic titan was dropped on [[the Iron Mountains]] (also known as Gloomy Island) by the Pirates, to search for the fourth and final [[Four Masks of Polokus|mask]]. It is often to be seen walking around and pecking at the ground like a chicken; it is possible that it is searching for [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]] in the soil. The [[Robot Dinosaur]] is notable for periodically jumping high, and upon landing, causing objects to bounce off the ground. Also, when [[Rayman]] is on the [[walking shell]], it chases after him, and runs faster than the shell when going in a straight line, but lacks agility. The [[Robot Dinosaur]] cannot be destroyed, although in the PlayStation version it runs out of fuel.

===Boss Biditank===
{{Main|Boss Biditank}}
 
This is a tank-like vehicle that takes the shape of a hemisphere. It is driven by the [[Spyglass Pirate]] in the [[Pirate Factory]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', and travels on wheels located on its underside. It fires the same type of [[Helicopter bomb|propeller bombs]] as the [[Warship]]s, as well as a machine gun-like weapon. Also, it can use an attack like that of the [[Barrel Pirate]]s, at which point [[Rayman]] must hide behind something to avoid being damaged. It can only be damaged by activating a powerful gun and using it to fire at the tank.
