~~==Description==~~

Barrel Pirates resemble oversized barrels with mechanical legs. On their tops are mounted electrical cannons, and a pair of eyes can also be seen peeking out of a visor on each one. They can often be found stomping around hallways and guarding certain [[Robo-Pirate]] fortresses.

Barrel Pirates resemble oversized barrels with mechanical legs. A pair of eyes can be seen peeking out of a visor on each one. On their tops are mounted electrical cannons, whose projectiles vary depending on which version of the game is being played; in most versions they are unavoidable beams of paralysing electricity, but in the PlayStation version they are damaging electrical orbs. Barrel Pirates are mobile but they are not very manoeuvrable. They can retract into their barrels like tortoises withdrawing into their shells; it is impossible for them to attack or be damaged while in this defensive state, and it also serves as a camouflage in some instances.

~~==Battle strategy==~~

Barrel Pirates are mobile, but not very manoeuvrable. At a long range, they attack [[Rayman]] by throwing toxic gas bombs at him, while they fire unavoidable beams of paralysing electricity when he gets closer.

Barrel Pirates are ~~similar to miniature versions of the [[Boss Biditank]] – they are formidable~~, ~~slow-moving, barrel-like enemies which attack via electrical discharges~~. ~~Though normally they fire poisonous cannonballs similar to~~ a ~~[[Henchman 800|Yellow Henchman 800]]'s projectiles~~, ~~Barrel Pirates release electrical discharges whenever~~ [[Rayman]] gets ~~too close~~.

Barrel Pirates are powerful enemies, and can prove difficult for [[Rayman]] to defeat when confronted directly; however, ~~they are susceptible to ricocheting~~ [[~~magic~~ fist|~~shots~~]].

Barrel Pirates are given greatest prominence in the PlayStation version, in which their projectiles are different. While they fire damaging electrical orbs from their cannon, they can also retract into their barrels like tortoises withdrawing into their shells; it is impossible for them to attack or be damaged while in this defensive state, and it also serves as a camouflage in some instances.

Barrel Pirates are powerful enemies, and can prove difficult for [[Rayman]] to defeat when confronted directly; however, their high [[resistance]] is compensated by the fact that the time gap between each effective [[Magic fist|energy ball]] is considerably lower than that of other [[Robo-Pirate]]s.
