The Robot Dinosaur was used by the [[Spyglass Pirate]] to search the [[Iron Mountains]] for the [[Four Masks of Polokus|Fourth Mask of Polokus]]. If anything escaped, it would persistently chase down the escapee.

==~~Role in the games~~==

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

The Robot Dinosaur does not appear until the ~~final~~ phase of [[the Iron Mountains]]. It is dangerous for [[Rayman]] to approach it, but otherwise helpful: its jumping makes a crate bounce just high enough for Rayman to enter the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]] and rescue the [[baby Globox]]es. Similarly a crate bounces inside the Reformatory; this allows Rayman to reach the Reformatory's roof.

The Robot Dinosaur does not appear until the second phase of [[the Iron Mountains]]. It is dangerous for [[Rayman]] to approach it, but otherwise helpful: its jumping makes a crate bounce just high enough for Rayman to enter the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]] and rescue the [[baby Globox]]es. Similarly a crate bounces inside the Reformatory; this allows Rayman to reach the Reformatory's roof.

However, once Rayman reaches the roof, the Robot Dinosaur's role is another story completely. After Rayman releases [[Globox]]'s [[Baby Globox|children]] from the Reformatory, the Robot Dinosaur ~~is quick to react~~. ~~Rayman must speedily zip by~~ the ~~incoming~~ Robot Dinosaur on ~~a [[Walking Shell]] or risk being flattened~~. ~~However~~, ~~it is still useful for~~ the ~~player~~, ~~because~~ it ~~can crush or hurl [[menhir]]s~~ into the ~~air, revealing [[Yellow Lum]]s underneath~~.

However, once Rayman reaches the roof, the Robot Dinosaur's role is another story completely. After Rayman, riding a [[walking shell]], releases [[Globox]]'s [[Baby Globox|children]] from the Reformatory, Rayman will find himself back where he first encountered the Robot Dinosaur. This time, the Robot Dinosaur will give chase to Rayman and attempt to stomp on him. Due to the fragile nature of the walking shell, Rayman must ensure that he does not come into contact with the Robot Dinosaur, as it will cause him to lose life and respawn back into the Reformatory.

Despite its harmful tactics, by chasing Rayman, it can destroy menhirs that were covering [[Yellow Lums]], and allow Rayman to collect them. In order to escape the Robot Dinosaur, Rayman must use the walking shell to cross a broken bridge leading to a cave, the walking shell will give Rayman extra airtime to quickly jump off and reach the other side.

The exception to the rule is the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', in ~~which~~ the [[Spyglass Pirate]] has forgotten to put fuel in the Robot Dinosaur's tank, rendering the Robot Dinosaur ~~useless~~. ~~Also, in~~ [[Rayman 2 (2D prototype)|~~the~~ 2D prototype version of ''Rayman 2'']], Rayman could jump on ~~a mechanical dinosaur~~ and ride it, and he could also smash its head and turn it into a platform.

The exception to the rule is the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. In the other versions, the Robot Dinosaur stands guard outside the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]], in this version, it is situated within the pen that the captive [[Baby Globox]]es inhabit. Once the babies have been freed, the Robot Dinosaur will attempt to chase them, but will fall over as the [[Spyglass Pirate]] has forgotten to put fuel in the Robot Dinosaur's tank, rendering the Robot Dinosaur inert.

The unlockable [[Rayman 2 (2D prototype)|2D prototype version of ''Rayman 2'']] also feature a Robot Dinosaur, Rayman could jump on it and ride it, and could also smash its head and turn it into a platform.
