'''Livingstones''', also known as '''Lividstones''' or '''Explorators''', are recurring enemies in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. They made their first appearance in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], and later appeared in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''. Before ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', they were a limbless species with tall slender bodies, large noses and moustaches. | |||

Livingstones are common enemies who only appear in levels of [[the Dream Forest]]. They are averagely-resistant enemies who freely wander on their platform, turning backwards when they face an obstacle. [[Rayman]] must simply avoid contact with them. If not eliminated in one hit, they go crazy and charge toward him until he [[Telescopic fist|punches]] them again or they fall in water. In the Atari Jaguar version, however, they will run toward him regardless of what he does. | Livingstones are common enemies who only appear in levels of [[the Dream Forest]].

They can no longer be driven crazy by [[Telescopic fist|punching]] or [[Grimace|grimacing]] at them. Their way of offense is to either headbutt [[Rayman]] or wave their hands in a cowardly manner. They are revealed to enjoy bullying [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], poking their faces, playing basketball with their bodies and using their heads as deodorant. They are also revealed to be the lackeys of the [[hunter]]s. The smaller variant of Lividstones aren't present in this game, but there are different kinds of Lividstones, some of them holding bamboo sticks to attack the characters, and others with spikes on their hats to hurt anyone who attempts to crush them. | |||

Lividstones return as enemies in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. However, they're no longer explorers, but a gang of bandits who break into the houses of the helpless [[Green Teensie]]s who inhabit the area. In this game, they wear blue hats with a red feather, a small sleeveless brown shirt, brown wristbands, a pair of patched blue pants held by a rope, and an orange neckerchief that covers part of their faces. Their main weapons are planks with pointy nails, and their parachutes allow them to ambush. [[Murfy]] can interact with them by cutting their parachutes, and stun them to let the other players attack them; [[Murfy]] can also grab them and move them wherever he wants. Normal green Lividstones also appear in the game but only in the [[Back to Origins]] levels. | Lividstones return as enemies in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.

Lividstones return again in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''. Like almost everything in the game, their designs are the exact same from ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. As a change, they are the ones who set off the events in the game. Two Lividstones happen to come across the [[Sacred Tree]] and get into the roots of it. They steal all the [[Ancient Egg]]s within, resulting in the [[Sacred Tree]] wilting. They then flee in their [[Warship|flying ships]] with all of the [[Ancient Egg|eggs]]. One [[Ancient Egg|egg]] happens to fall from the [[Warship|ship]] and land on either [[Rayman]] or [[Barbara]]. Lividstones can be found in [[Medieval Mayhem]] and [[Toad Story (Rayman Adventures)|Toad Story]]. They occupy areas such as the castle grounds, enchanted forests, dark dungeons, and haunted matters. Their attacks are almost all the same, being their weapons are still nailed planks and parachute from above. Though speculated, there is one new ability they've learned which is that they can dodge being hit by a knocked back Lividstone. If the player happens to hit the first Lividstone of a chain that jump into the foreground too early, the other Lividstones will jump and avoid being hit by the knocked back Lividstone. But this move is completely rare and doesn't occur often as they only do it in one specific level, thus leading it to be speculated as a glitch or mere coincidence. | Lividstones return again in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''.
