Jano is a larger version of [[Mini Jano|the one-eyed, fire-breathing monsters]] that dwell in [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] and [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], who additionally carries a staff with a [[skull]] on its top, and wears a magician's hat identical to that worn by [[Polokus]]. The skull atop his staff contains the [[Elixir of Life]], which [[Rayman]] must gain to save his friend [[Clark]], who became ill after munching on a rusty [[Robo-Pirate]] in [[the Menhir Hills]]. | Jano is a larger version of [[Mini Jano|the one-eyed, fire-breathing monsters]] that dwell in [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] and [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], who additionally carries a staff with a [[skull]] on its top, and wears a magician's hat identical to that worn by [[Polokus]].

Jano is a fierce but wise creature, with the ability to read an individual's mind, breathe fire, conjure floating [[skull]]s, and change his size (becoming huge during his battle with [[Rayman]]). As a guardian, he will ward off anyone that doesn't know the name of [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]]. Although he is an ally of [[Rayman]] in general, he challenges [[Rayman]] to find the treasure that is hidden deep in [[The Cave of Bad Dreams|the Cave]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', chases and battles him towards the level's end, and offers the treasure to him upon his defeat (even though Jano attempts to kill [[Rayman]] a number of times throughout the level). | Jano is a fierce but wise creature, with the ability to read an individual's mind, breathe fire, conjure floating [[skull]]s, and change his size (becoming huge during his battle with [[Rayman]]).

He can tell whether or not an individual is greedy, so he rewards [[Rayman]] with the [[Elixir of Life]] for refusing to take the tempting treasure. In all versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' (excluding the PlayStation version), the player gets to choose whether (s)he wants the treasure or not, and in choosing it, [[Rayman]] is cast to a deserted island surrounded by the gold, noticeably obese, resulting in 'the end of the game'. | He can tell whether or not an individual is greedy, so he rewards [[Rayman]] with the [[Elixir of Life]] for refusing to take the tempting treasure.

Jano makes his first in-game appearance in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], one of the earlier levels of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Encountering him at this point is optional: he can be found in a cavern located at the end of a hidden side-path in the swamp. If [[Rayman]] approaches him, Jano tells him that he cannot pass unless he knows the name of this place. [[Rayman]] must retrace his steps and continue the level as normal. | Jano makes his first in-game appearance in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], one of the earlier levels of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

Later, [[Rayman]] meets up with his friend, [[Clark]] the Giant, in [[the Menhir Hills]]. [[Clark]] has become ill as a result of eating a rusty [[Robo-Pirate]] in the heat of battle. He tells [[Rayman]] that the only way to heal him is to recover the [[Elixir of Life]] from [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], where it is guarded by a fierce monster. This is also where the creatures born from the nightmares of [[Polokus]] are imprisoned. [[Rayman]] returns to [[the Marshes of Awakening]], and Jano reads his mind, seeing that he now knows the name of Jano's domain. Jano tells [[Rayman]] that he has hidden a precious treasure within [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], and that [[Rayman]] can have it if he finds it. Jano warns [[Rayman]] that he will chase him, but says that he will give him a head start. | Later, [[Rayman]] meets up with his friend, [[Clark]] the Giant, in [[the Menhir Hills]].

Jano then teleports [[Rayman]] to his lair, where he encounters many [[Mini Jano]] and other obstacles. Eventually Jano catches up with [[Rayman]] and chases him down a slimy slope in an attempt to eat him. Next, the two battle; [[Rayman]] must avoid the fireballs Jano spits, while traversing the floating [[skull]]s he conjures. After turning the tables on Jano and chasing him away, [[Rayman]] finds himself in a chamber filled with mountains of gold and [[jewel]]s. Jano says that [[Rayman]] has defeated him, and asks him to choose between the treasure and the [[Elixir of Life]]. If the player selects the treasure, Jano punishes [[Rayman]] by making him obese and teleporting him to a desert island with only the treasure to keep him company, and the game ends. If the player chooses [[Elixir of Life|the Elixir]], [[Rayman]] finds himself back in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], where Jano is congratulating him on having made the right choice. Jano hands over [[Elixir of Life|the Elixir]] (which turns out to be contained in the [[skull]] mounted atop his staff), and sends [[Rayman]] on his way. [[Rayman]] thanks him and leaves. In spite of Jano's new benevolence, he still attacks [[Rayman]] should he return to [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]]. | Jano then teleports [[Rayman]] to his lair, where he encounters many [[Mini Jano]] and other obstacles.
