'''Monks''', also known as '''Tibetan sages''', are an order of meditative, pacific giants found only in [[Band Land]], the second environment visited in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. They wear red-and-yellow robes and caps. Like [[Rayman]], they have no arms, and their hands float disconnected from their bodies. However, they do appear to have legs and necks, making them only partially limbless. In ''[[Rayman Activity Centre]]'', a drawing of a Monk without a neck appears. [[The Magician]] claims that this is one of his friends. They are always seen sitting, cross-legged, floating in the air. They are found primarily in the cloudy reaches of [[Gong Heights]], though a few can be found in [[Allegro Presto]], and in the first part of [[Mr Sax's Hullaballoo]], which combines elements from all of the [[Band Land]] levels. The Monks' eyes are always closed and their mouths always form relaxed smiles. As they meditate, most Monks bring [[bongo]]s back and forth in a steady rhythm; when the [[bongo]]s are held in front of the Monks' faces, they appear to form scowling patterns. As [[Rayman]] progresses, he begins to encounter Monks who hold groups of six connected blue orbs which resemble giant [[Ting]]s. Eventually he comes across Monks who juggle gigantic blue spheres between their hands and head. When the blue spheres are examined closely, they appear to show a reflection of a smiling [[cloud]] in the sky. [[Rayman]] can use the [[bongo]]s and both the large and small blue spheres as platforms.
