'''Boss Chenille''' ('''''Kapounus Grobilus''''') is a giant [[caterpillar]] which serves as a miniboss [[The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava#PlayStation 2 version|beneath the Lava Sanctuary]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.
'''Boss Chenille''' ('''''Kapounus Grobilus''''') is a boss which appears only in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', where it is fought in  [[The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Sanctuary of Lava]].


Boss Chenille is found in a room in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] (whose name is switched with that of [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] in this version). Boss Chenille is summoned by Rayman performing a [[Rain Mask|rain dance]] on what looks like a greyish version of one of the [[Magic Sphere]]s' bases. When this is done, it emits a beam of light towards another such base. When Rayman [[shot|shoots]] it, it too emits a beam of light towards another base. After shooting several more bases, the beam of light has finished its circumnavigation of the chamber; a door opens, and Boss Chenille enters. The first clue as to Boss Chenille's identity is its name; ''Chenille'' is the French word for ''Caterpillar'', while the name ''Boss'' implies that it may possibly be their leader. Boss Chenille looks just like one of the large caterpillars, but with some significant differences: whereas they are a purplish-black in colour, Boss Chenille is blood-red; Boss Chenille is also somewhat larger. When Rayman strikes Boss Chenille with his magic fist, its health meter decreases, and a caterpillar splits away from its body. Boss Chenille spawns both small and large caterpillars in this fashion; these too must all be defeated in order to fully deplete Boss Chenille's health. As the battle wears on, the segments of Boss Chenille's body slowly disappear; by the end, it resembles an enormous red version of one of the small caterpillars. When this final form is defeated, Boss Chenille vanishes like any other caterpillar. A rockfall then occurs, the door it came in by opens and [[Red Lum]]s appear where the bases stood.
Boss Chenille looks just like a normal [[caterpillar]], but with some significant differences: whereas they are a purplish-black in colour, Boss Chenille is blood-red; Boss Chenille is also somewhat larger, and it eyes are identical to the [[Mosquito (Rayman 2)|mosquitoes]]' ones.  


The manner in which Boss Chenille spawns normal caterpillars from its body during the battle has led to speculation that it may be the progenitor or 'mother' of the entire caterpillar species, in addition to the speculation that it is their leader.

When [[Rayman]] strikes Boss Chenille with his [[magic fist]], a red [[Mosquito (Rayman 2)|mosquito]] splits away from its body. When the hero shoots him, he splits into five black [[Mosquito (Rayman 2)|mosquitoes]]. When they are killed, Boss Chenille's health meter decreases. As the battle wears on, the segments of Boss Chenille's body slowly disappear; by the end, it resembles an enormous red version of one of the [[Mosquito (Rayman 2)|mosquitoes]]. When this final form is defeated, Boss Chenille vanishes for good. A rockfall then occurs, the door Boss Chenille came in by opens and [[Red Lum]]s appear where the bases stood.
 
The first clue as to Boss Chenille's identity is its name; ''Chenille'' is the French word for ''Caterpillar'', while the name ''Boss'' implies that it may possibly be a leader. And during the battle, Boss Chenille spawns [[Mosquito (Rayman 2)|mosquitoes]] from its body. All of this led to speculation that Boss Chenille may be the progenitor or ‘mother’ of the [[caterpillar]] and [[Mosquito (Rayman 2)|mosquito]] species, in addition to the speculation that it is their leader.
