m Don't mention derivative games or remakes in the 'appears in' list. Designer's more of an expansion pack than a game in its own right, and it shares nearly all of its enemies with the original anyway.

'''Stone men''' are resistant enemies in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. They can be found in the [[Blue Mountains]].
'''Stone men''' are limbless enemies encountered throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. They appear in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], where they can be found in the [[Blue Mountains]], [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|its Game Boy Color adaptation]], where they can be found in [[Rocky Peaks]], and ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', where they can be found in [[Mystical Pique]].


They freely wander on their platform, turning backwards when they face an obstacle. There are two types of stone men: those who hit the ground and fire a flame at [[Rayman]], and those who throw [[lava ball]]s at him.
==In ''Rayman'' and its spin-offs==
In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], stone men freely wander on their platform, turning backwards when they face an obstacle. There are two types of stone men: those who hit the ground and fire a flame at [[Rayman]], and those who throw [[lava rock]]s at him.


Upon being defeated, stone men inevitably resuscitate after a few seconds. Notably, [[Rayman]]'s hits need to be spaced out or they will be ineffective against stone men.
Upon being defeated, stone men inevitably resuscitate after a few seconds. The only exception is in [[Rayman Advance|the Game Boy Advance version]] where they get defeated as normal enemies. Notably, [[Rayman]]'s hits need to be spaced out or they will be ineffective against stone men.

===In ''Rayman Designer''===
In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', the stone men appear as enemy [[Event (Rayman Designer)|events]] in the [[Blue Mountains|Mountain]] and [[The Caves of Skops|Cave]] worlds. There are four types of them available in both worlds.
*'''Lava rock throwing steady stone man''' - Throws [[lava rock]]s without moving.
*'''Lava rock throwing stone man''' - Throws [[lava rock]]s and moves on the platform.
*'''Falling lava rock throwing stone man''' - Throws [[lava rock]]s and moves without turning around when reaching an edge.
*'''Flame launching stone man''' - Shoots flames and moves on the platform.


The stone men will make a return in the upcoming ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', in the mountain world of the game, [[Mystic Peak]]. Their appearance was confirmed in the sixth issue of the [[Daily Bubble]] on the official blog. They can be seen initially lying in rocky heaps and then throwing [[lava ball]]s at [[Rayman]].
==In the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman''==
In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman'']], stone men<ref>raymanpocket.com (via archive.org), ''Story & Characters'', https://web.archive.org/web/20011018125557/http://raymanpocket.com/story.html</ref> are found in [[Rocky Peaks]].


[[Image:StoneMenOrigins.jpg|thumb|320px|left|Stone men in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'']]
Their appearance is very different from that of the stone men in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. They are made of purple rock, have no hands and sport a grey spherical head with two large eyes. They look similar to the defeated [[Mr Stone]] with the giant rock totem's head on top of his.
 
Stone men attack [[Rayman]] by throwing their heads in his direction. They can be defeated in two hits, after which their body disappears first, followed by their head.

==In ''Rayman Origins''==
The stone men make a return in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' as the most regular enemies in the mountain world of the game, [[Mystical Pique]]. Their appearance in the game was confirmed in the sixth issue of [[the Daily Bubble]] on the official blog. Their battle tactics were considerably changed since [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. Here, stone men are static enemies, throwing bouncing [[lava rock]]s at the heroes from high places. The players can slap the [[lava rock]]s back at them, or attack them directly. Like most of the enemies in the game, stone men are bubblized with one single hit, being much weaker than their older counterparts. Some stone men can be seen attached to walls, throwing [[lava rock]]s at the heroes; in order to defeat them, the heroes must do a [[wall run]] to reach the places where they are attached. Notably, the stone men will sometimes dribble their [[lava rock]] like a basketball before throwing it at the heroes.
 
A [[Golly G. Golem#Secret area 2|specific area]] of the mountain requires the players to run through diagonal platforms while avoiding the [[lava rock]]s thrown by a stone man at the end of the path, where a [[cage]] must be broken; this is a reference to the classic arcade game ''Donkey Kong''.
 
Unlike most of the characters encounted in both ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', their appearance remains remarkably consistent between the two. Stone men along with the [[Electoon]]s are also the only characters in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' to retain [[Rayman]]'s limbless feature, while the other ones were considerably redesigned to bear limbs.
