==Appearance==
==Appearance==
Jano is a larger version of the one-eyed, fire-breathing monsters that dwell in [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] and [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], only that he carries a staff with a skull on its top, and that he wears a magician's hat identical to the one worn by [[Polokus]]. The skull at the top of his staff contains [[the Elixir of Life]], which Rayman must gain to save his friend [[Clark]], who munches on a rusty [[Robo-Pirate]] in [[the Menhir Hills]].

==Character==
==Character==
Jano is a fierce but wise creature, with the ability to read one's mind, breathe fire, conjure floating skulls, and change his own size, becoming huge during his battle with [[Rayman]]. As a guardian, he will ward off anyone that doesn't know the name of the Cave of Bad Dreams. Although he's an ally of Rayman in general, he challenges [[Rayman]] to find the treasure that is hidden deep in the cave in ''Rayman 2'', and offers it to him upon his defeat (even though Jano attempts to kill Rayman a number of times throughout the level).

He can tell whether or not one is greedy, so he rewards Rayman with the [[Elixir of Life]] for refusing to take the tempting treasure. In all versions of Rayman 2 (excluding the Playstation version), the player gets to choose whether (s)he wants the treasure or not, and in choosing it, Rayman is cast to a deserted island surrounded by the Gold, noticeably obese, resulting in 'the end of the game'.
