The '''Spyglass Pirate''',<ref>The name comes from early ''Rayman 2'' artworks: [[:File:Gorilla Pirate and Spyglass Pirate names source.jpg]] and [[:File:R2 Portraitdefamille.jpg]]</ref> also known as the '''Creole Pirate''',<ref>Official ''Rayman 2'' website, ''Charaktere'', http://web.archive.org/web/20001002215808/www.rayman2.com/all/good/characters/characters.html</ref> is a unique [[Robo-Pirate]] character who appears in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where he appears to have been in charge of the ground operations during [[Razorbeard]]'s campaign. He was a mechanical genius, and created many dangerous devices. The Spyglass Pirate also made cameo appearances in ''[[Rayman Dictées]]'', ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]''.


==Description==
==Description==
Razorbeard's Lackey looks different from the other [[Robo-Pirate Army|Robo-Pirates]]. He looks more like a slightly-chubby pirate with a bandanna around his head. Like most [[Robo-Pirate Army|Robo-Pirates]], he is taller than Admiral Razorbeard.
The appearance of the Spyglass Pirate is somewhat different from those of the other [[Robo-Pirate]]s. While he is still robotic, he looks more like a slightly chubby stereotypical pirate. The lower part of his mechanical body is coloured green to resemble trousers. He wears a yellow scarf covered with red polka-dots around his waist, and has a red-and-white striped bandana tied round his head. Like most [[Robo-Pirate]]s, he is noticeably taller than [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]].


Razorbeard's Lackey was in charge of the ground operations during Admiral Razorbeard's campaign. He was a mechanical genius, and created many dangerous devices.
In the Japanese version of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', the Spyglass Pirate is made of a grey metal, with his lower body coloured a light turquoise.


==Role in the Games==
<gallery widths="320px" heights="174px">
The lackey's role in the N64, PC, DC, and DS versions of ''Rayman 2'' is very small. He appears in the cinematics where Razorbeard is informed of [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]]'s whereabouts, but little more than that. In every game, however, he debuts in the cinematics prior to the [[Bayou]].

===PlayStation Version/[[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]]===
==In the original version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''==
In the two Sony versions of ''Rayman 2'', the Lackey is given much more importance. At multiple points he encounters Rayman and brings with him a difficult challenge. The Lackey first strikes chronologically in [[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]], in which he leads the attack on [[Clark]] and Rayman at the entrance to the [[Rainbow Creek]]. His next appearance, also Revolution-exclusive, is a boss fight: Razorbeard's lackey jumps into the [[Boss Biditank]] to personally battle Rayman. The lackey next encounters Rayman in both the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 versions at the end of the [[Tomb of the Ancients]], where it is seen that the Lackey is controlling Clark via remote control. The lackey makes his final appearance solely in the PlayStation version at the end of the [[The Iron Mountains|Gloomy Island]], where he makes his last attempt to get rid of Rayman with his remote control [[Dinosaur]]. Unfortunately, he forgot to put gas in the robotic dinosaur and the Baby Globoxes escaped with Rayman. This is the only time dialogue occurs between the Lackey and Rayman.

Before the final boss, Razorbeard says he will punish him for his failures by making him swim in molten lava.
The Spyglass Pirate appears to mainly serve as [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]]'s right hand. Most of his appearances involve him informing [[Razorbeard]] of [[Rayman]]'s progress, the first report the player sees him provide is given prior to [[Rayman]]'s arrival to [[the Bayou]]. It is his report of [[Rayman]]'s arrival to the [[Glade of Dreams]]' swamp that causes [[Razorbeard]] to dispatch the [[warship]]s [[Rayman]] would encounter in the first half of that level.


==Appearances==
He is next seen reporting to [[Razorbeard]] as [[Rayman]] is en route to [[the Precipice]], informing [[Razorbeard]] of [[Rayman]]'s acquisition of two of [[Polokus]]' [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks]]. This causes [[Razorbeard]] to throw his hat on the Spyglass Pirate in frustration, before dispatching more [[warship]]s to [[the Precipice]], demanding [[Rayman]] be captured, dead or alive.

*[[The Iron Mountains|Gloomy Island]] (PS version only)

He later plays a more active role after reporting to [[Razorbeard]] about [[Rayman]]'s acquisition of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]], which causes [[Razorbeard]] to threaten the Spyglass Pirate with an extreme punishment should [[Rayman]] manage to find [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]]. The Spyglass Pirate then is encountered at the [[Technical Check-up]], having set up a trap for [[Rayman]], using a device to control his friend; [[Clark]], who he then uses to attack [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] is able to destroy the device controlling [[Clark]], and the Spyglass Pirate departs unseen.
 
Before the final boss battle in [[the Crow's Nest]], [[Razorbeard]] says that he will punish the Spyglass Pirate for his consistent failure to stop [[Rayman]] by seeing how well he would [[Swimming|swim]] in molten lava. He then orders the Spyglass Pirate to prepare the [[Grolgoth]] for him in the meantime. It is not clear whether this punishment was ever carried out, and the fate of the Spyglass Pirate remains unknown.
 
===In the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''===
[[File:Spyglass Pirate on the Gloomy Island.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The Spyglass Pirate makes an appearance in [[The Iron Mountains#PlayStation version|the Gloomy Island]] as part of his expanded role in the PlayStation version.]]
The Spyglass Pirate in the PlayStation version retains the appearances he makes in all other versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. His only additional appearance is in the [[Gloomy Island]], where he is the one controlling the [[Robot Dinosaur]] via remote, in the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]]. It is stated by the [[Grand Minimus]] that he is using [[Robot Dinosaur|the Dinosaur]] to find [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]]. The [[Robot Dinosaur]] is used in an attempt to stop the [[baby Globox]]es from escaping [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children|the facility]], after [[Rayman]] is able to open its main gate, but is unable to do so as the [[Robot Dinosaur]] fails, and the Spyglass Pirate discovers that he forgot to fuel the machine.

===In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''===
[[File:Biditank.png|320px|thumb|left|The Spyglass Pirate inside [[Boss Biditank]].]]
In addition to the appearances seen in all versions, the Spyglass Pirate makes additional appearances exclusive to this version, to further impede the progress of [[Rayman]] and his friends. He appears leading an attack on [[Clark]] and [[Rayman]] at the entrance to the [[Rainbow Creek]]. He makes another appearance in the [[Pirate Factory]], where he is the pilot for the [[Boss Biditank]], a new, freshly developed weapon that the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] have made, and battles [[Rayman]] with it. He will jump out of the [[Boss Biditank|Biditank]] at times to switch off floor-[[switch]]es that control a [[laser]] that [[Rayman]] uses to damage the [[Boss Biditank|Biditank]]. However, his efforts are in vain, as [[Rayman]] is able to activate the [[laser]] enough times to damage the [[Boss Biditank|Biditank]], and the Spyglass Pirate flees thereafter.

In all versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', barring the PlayStation version, if [[Rayman]] has collected all the [[Yellow Lum]]s and broken all the [[cage]]s in a level, the player can enter a [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus level]]. The [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus level]] involves a [[baby Globox]] racing against the Spyglass Pirate to reach a [[Ludiv]], who will restore [[Rayman]]'s health if the [[baby Globox]] wins, or will be scared off if the Spyglass wins.

==Other appearances==
*In ''[[Rayman Dictées]]'', what appears to be a statue or replica of the Spyglass Pirate can be seen briefly in a cutscene which shows the interior of [[Rayman]]'s house.
*In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', several statues of the Spyglass Pirate can be found in a secret room in [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], along with statues of various other [[Robo-Pirate]]s from ''[[Rayman 2]]''.
*In ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', cardboard cutouts of the Spyglass Pirate, a [[red Henchman 800]] and [[Razorbeard]] can be found on the [[Space Opera Network#Pirate Set|Pirate Set]].

==Trivia==
*In the Japanese version of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', the Spyglass Pirate has got a near white metal skin, and lighter green pants.
*After [[Boss Biditank]] is defeated, the Spyglass Pirate [[Running|runs]] away, claiming ‘It's not over yet! I'll be back!’ This may be a reference to the ''Terminator'' film series.
