'''Gorilla Pirates'''<ref>The name comes from [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape : Le Guide Officiel|the official French guide of ''Rayman 2'']] and early ''Rayman 2'' artworks<br>http://raymanpc.com/wiki/images/6/62/Gorilla_Pirate_and_Spyglass_Pirate_names_source.jpg<br>http://raymanpc.com/wiki/script-en/images/a/a7/R2_Portraitdefamille.jpg</ref> are powerful [[Robo-Pirate]]s which appear in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', and are notable for being [[Resistance|invincible]]. They also make a cameo appearance on a production line in the [[Electric Final]] race course in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and, together with many other [[Robo-Pirate]]s, in the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]] in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

In many ways, Gorilla Pirates seem like a stereotypical first-mate [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]], comparable in apparel to Mr Smee from Disney's ''Peter Pan''. Gorilla Pirates are brainless and exist only to clobber intruders in their territory. They are short, stubby, and carry a hunchback. They are seen wearing a blue and white striped shirt. They walk on all fours like a gorilla. According to the official ''[[Rayman 2]]'' website, their IQ is somewhere between that of a deep-sea sponge and a slice of toast.<ref>Official ''Rayman 2'' website, ''Charaktere'', http://web.archive.org/web/20001002215808/www.rayman2.com/all/good/characters/characters.html</ref>

==In ''Rayman 2''==

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Gorilla Pirates are often stationed near entrances or paths, guarding them from unauthorised entry. They cannot be defeated by the [[magic fist]], and require more cunning ways to be destroyed.

Gorilla Pirates attack in only one way: they charge suddenly, run over their foe, and retreat to their initial position. Unfortunately for them, their lack of intelligence does not stop them where their foe jumps, and so if [[Rayman]] jumps right next to a cliff, the Gorilla Pirate is likely to fall off and explode. [[Rayman]] can also lure them over into pools of water, in this case, they will fall in and be electrocuted prior to exploding.

Another way to neutralise a Gorilla Pirate is to incapacitate them by lobbing a [[plum]] at its head. This technique can also be used to gain access to otherwise unreachable ledges, as it immobilises the Gorilla Pirate, allowing his plum-encased head to be used as a platform. Both of these techniques were previously available and useful when applied to the [[Livingstone]]s in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]].
