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.

Besides [[Rayman]]'s [[Telescopic fist|fist]], another way of defeating them is for him to use his [[grimace]], which frightens them and makes them run away from instead of towards him and eventually fall ~~into~~ water. [[Rayman]] can also [[Telescopic fist|punch]] a [[plum]] onto their heads causing them to become dizzy but continue walking as usual, allowing him to jump onto the [[plum]] and use them as a walking platform to reach higher places or finish them off normally.

Another variety of Livingstones are [[little Livingstone]]s which, as their name implies, are shorter than standard Livingstones, but they are also more aggressive in their attempts to hurt [[Rayman]] and are more adept at dodging blows from his [[telescopic fist]].

Livingstones return as enemies in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but here they are renamed '''Lividstones''', perhaps to suggest a connection with the [[Livid Dead]]. Like most of the returning characters from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], they have been redesigned, and now have limbs (rendering [[Rayman]] himself almost unique), visible mouths, longer and more crooked noses, and more scraggy body structures. Their appearance is also more zombie-like. Like most enemies in the game, they have only one [[resistance]] point, and can be defeated and bubblized easily. 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 are not 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.

[[File:Intro 1.PNG|320px|thumb|right|The Lividstones who find the [[Ancient Egg]]s.]]

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. The second kind of Lividstones also return, but their behavior is still them standing on top of stacked Lividstones and singing. Though speculated, there is one new ability they have 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.

It also appears that Lividstones and [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|Toads]] are at war with each other. No longer allied by the [[Dark Teensy|Dark Teensies]], the Lividstones and [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|Toads]] fight for territory. In many levels of [[Toad Story (Rayman Adventures)|Toad Story in ''Adventures'']], Lividstones invade the territory of the [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|Toads]]. Within the levels, Lividstones and [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|Toads]] show signs of winning the battles that are taking place but due to the player interfering, the battles usually end in a stalemate with a [[Francky]] and [[Oger]] preparing to fight each other only to have the player defeat both of them.
