In each version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Foutch plays the same role (with the exception of ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', in which the Guardians are all omitted). Foutch appears near the end of the level [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]. Catching [[Rayman]] by surprise, he punches the hero, causing him to tumble into Foutch's magma-filled arena, permanently stripping him of his new [[super helicopter]] power in the progress. The fight begins. In the PlayStation version, [[Rayman]] unsuccessfully attempts to reason with the Guardian first. Throughout the fight, Foutch chases [[Rayman]] around his circular arena while hurling horizontal and vertical beams of fire at him. In order to defeat him, [[Rayman]] must use [[Spider (Rayman 2)|spider]]-webs to bounce himself high in the air, then use his [[magic fist]] to strike down overhanging stalactites. If a stalactite lands on Foutch's head, he is injured; this is quite similar to the method by which [[Rayman]] defeated the first Guardian, [[Axel]], except that Foutch requires three hits rather than one. Each stalactite will inflict 13 damage upon him, out of his [[resistance]] of 30. When defeated, he explodes, releasing a number of [[Red Lum]]s, as well as [[Purple Lum]]s which can be used escape the arena and find the [[Four Masks of Polokus|third mask]]. It is not clear if Foutch was destroyed or not; in the PlayStation version, he and [[Axel]] can be re-fought an unlimited number of times, but in the other versions they never appear again after they have been defeated.

Foutch was originally meant to be the guardian of the [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], then called "The Sanctuary of Lava and Fire", but he was eventually switched with [[Umber]].<ref>This information comes from the lines "The Sanctuary of Lava and Fire" and "FOUTCH: Guardian of the sanctuary of lava and fire" in [[Rayman 2 (early production)|early demos]] of the game.</ref>
