'''Stone men''' are limbless golem enemies encountered throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. They appear in the original ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', where they can be found in the [[Blue Mountains]], and ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', where they can be found in [[Mystical Pique]]. Unlike most of the characters encounted in both these games, their appearance remains remarkably consistent between the two. | '''Stone men''' are limbless golem enemies encountered throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]].

The | The Stone men make a return in Rayman Origins as the most regular enemies in the mountain world of the game, [[Mystical Pique]]. Their appearance in the game was confirmed in the sixth issue of the [[Daily Bubble]] on the official blog. Their battle tactics were considerably changed since the original ''Rayman'' game. Here, Stone men are static enemies, throwing bouncing lava balls at the heroes from high places. The players can slap the lava balls back at them, or attack them directly. Like most of the enemies in the game, Stone Men are bubblized with one single hit, being much weaker than their older counterparts. Some Stone Men can be seen attached to walls, throwing lava balls at Rayman; in order to defeat them, the heroes must do a [[Wall run]] to reach the places where they are attached. | ||
An specific area of the mountain requires the players to run through diagonal platforms while avoiding the lava balls thrown by a Stone Man at the end of the path, where a [[cage]] must be broken; this is an obvious reference to the classic arcade game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_Kong_(video_game)|''Donkey Kong'']. | |||
