Unlike most bosses in [[Rayman (series)|the series]], Axel only takes one hit to be destroyed, making him less powerful than some of the other Guardians. He attacks by throwing icicles at [[Rayman]], who has to get to him by swinging across a series of [[Purple Lum]]s in the air. Once close enough, Rayman shoots an overhanging icicle with his [[magic fist]], causing it to fall on to Axel's head, defeating him in a single hit. In most versions of the game he explodes and evaporates into the air with a roar of rage; in the PlayStation version, the icicle sticks on his head and he slowly sinks into the fountain below him, where he dissolves. | Unlike most bosses in [[Rayman (series)|the series]], Axel only takes one hit to be destroyed, making him less powerful than some of the other Guardians.

Axel does not appear to be an inherently evil being; like the other Guardians, he was created by [[Polokus]] to guard [[Four Masks of Polokus|his four magical Masks]] and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. The PlayStation version of the game contains additional cutscenes in which [[Rayman]] engages in dialogue with the Guardians Axel, [[Umber]] and [[Foutch]]; in the conversation with Axel, it is revealed that he regards Rayman as a thief who threatens the safety of the first Mask. When Axel attacks Rayman, he is ultimately acting under the instructions of Polokus. | Axel does not appear to be an inherently evil being; like the other Guardians, he was created by [[Polokus]] to guard [[Four Masks of Polokus|his four magical Masks]] and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.
