The '''Mini Janos''' (currently not an official name as of yet) are enemies that are encountered only in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. They are found mostly in the [[Cave of Bad Dreams]], which is guarded by their much larger counterpart, [[Jano]], though a few more appear at a certain point in the [[Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]].
The '''Mini Jano'''<ref>The name comes from [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape : Le Guide Officiel|the official French guide of ''Rayman 2'']].</ref> are enemies encountered in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. They are dark-green, one-eyed, round monsters with skeletal arms that are found mostly in [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], which is guarded by their much larger counterpart, [[Jano]], though another one appears at a certain point in [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]].


==Strategy==
The first type of Mini Jano attacks by breathing fire, and they often attempt to avoid [[Rayman]] when they look each other in the eye while attacking. Like [[Jano]], they can dig underground, and they usually make their ambush at what seems to be a dead end. There is usually more than one to defeat them. If [[Rayman]] gets too close to them, they will grab and devour him.

Like Jano, they can dig underground, and they usually make their ambush at what seems to be a dead end, and there is usually more than one to defeat. Should they get into melee range of Rayman, they will grab him and devour him, counting as a death and respawning Rayman. If so, all of them need to be defeated in order to reveal a secret item, usually a [[plum]] or a [[magic sphere]].

The second type appears only once, and is characterised by a higher [[resistance]] and a different behaviour. Instead of breathing fire, this Mini Jano hides behind columns, and only attacks [[Rayman]] by leaping on him and biting him when he turns away. The only way to defeat this one is to wait until it gets close, turn towards it and [[Magic fist|shoot]].


[[Category:Enemies]]  
If Mini Jano are met at a dead end, all of them need to be defeated in order to reveal a secret item, usually a [[plum]] or a [[Magic Sphere]].
 
In the PlayStation version of the game, only the fire-breathing Mini Jano appear, though twice as resistant and in both [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] and [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], and the ones in [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] don't dig into the ground or devour [[Rayman]] when he gets close, instead patrolling a set pattern around the room, always facing [[Rayman]] and breathing fire at him when he gets too close or after he attacks them. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', both versions are notably weaker, especially those breathing fire, which on the other hand are more numerous. Occasionally, the fire-breathing Mini Jano in [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] on the higher platform added in this version wear hats similar to their larger counterpart.
 
In [[Globox Disc]], a red, armless version of the Mini-Jano appears that will wander in a circle around a part of the maze, eating objects and costing a life if it comes into contact with the [[baby Globox]].
