'''Hardrox''' is a [[baby Globox]] and as such is one of Globox and Uglette's 650 children. He is one of the eight playable babies that appear in the [[Globox Disc]] minigame, which can be played in both ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' and the Sega Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. In the former game, he also acts as referee in the [[Baby Football]] minigame, as well as the match outside [[Globox's House]]. When Globox is captured and the babies are crying, though, Hardrox is nowhere to be seen. In the latter game, he can also be seen in [[Globox Village]], which is where the [[Globox Disc]] minigame is accessed from.

==Description==
[[File:Hardrox.gif|thumb|left|Hardrox]]
 
As his name, possibly derived from the music genre 'hard rock', suggests, Hardrox is a black-coloured baby with a white skull pattern on his belly, and his head is covered in thin strands of black hair. He is one of the eight playable babies that appear in the [[Globox Disc]] minigame, which can be played in both ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' and the Sega Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. In the former game, he also acts as referee in the [[Baby Football]] minigame, as well as the match outside [[Globox's House]]. However, when Globox is captured and the other babies are crying, Hardrox is nowhere to be seen. In the latter game, he can also be seen in [[Globox Village]], the location from which the [[Globox Disc]] minigame is accessed.


Despite his name, he bears no known connection to [[the Hard Rocks]], a level in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]].

The image of a skull on Hardrox's belly bears a remarkable resemblance to the face of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Skellington Jack Skellington], a character from the 1993 stop-motion animated film, ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nightmare_Before_Christmas Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas]''. It is unclear whether this was a deliberate reference on the part of the developers.

==Videogame appearances==
By entering a secret code in [[Baby Football]] (tapping L2, R2, L2, R2, L2, R2, all while holding L1 and R1), the name "Steve" appears over Hardrox's head. Steve McCalla was the project manager for ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.
