Spyglass Pirate: Difference between revisions

{{Quote|text=You incompetent imbecile!|sign=[[Admiral Razorbeard]] to the Spyglass Pirate|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

The appearance of the Spyglass Pirate is somewhat different from those of the other [[Robo-Pirate]]s. While he is still robotic, he looks more like a slightly chubby stereotypical pirate. The lower part of his mechanical body is coloured green to resemble trousers. He wears a yellow scarf covered with red polka-dots around his waist, and has a red-and-white striped bandana tied round his head. Like most [[Robo-Pirate]]s, he is noticeably taller than [[Admiral Razorbeard]].

The Spyglass Pirate appears to have been in charge of the ground operations during [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]]'s campaign. He was a mechanical genius, and created many dangerous devices.

The Spyglass Pirate appears to mainly serve as [[Admiral Razorbeard]]'s right hand. Most of his appearances involve him informing [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] of [[Rayman]]'s progress, the first report the player sees him provide is given prior to [[Rayman]]'s arrival to [[the Bayou]]. It is his report of [[Rayman]]'s arrival to the [[Glade of Dreams]]' swamp that causes [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] to dispatch the [[warship]]s [[Rayman]] would encounter in the first half of that level.

He is next seen reporting to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] as [[Rayman]] is en route to [[the Precipice]], informing [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] of [[Rayman]]'s acquisition of two of [[Polokus]]' [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks]]. This causes [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] to throw his hat on the Spyglass Pirate in frustration, before dispatching more [[warship]]s to [[the Precipice]], demanding [[Rayman]] be captured, dead or alive.

He later plays a more active role after reporting to [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] about [[Rayman]]'s acquisition of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]], which causes [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] to threaten the Spyglass Pirate with an extreme punishment should [[Rayman]] manage to find [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]]. The Spyglass Pirate then is encountered at the [[Technical Check-up]], having set up a trap for [[Rayman]], using a device to control his friend; [[Clark]], who he then uses to attack [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] is able to destroy the device controlling [[Clark]], and the Spyglass Pirate departs unseen.

Before the final boss battle in [[the Crow's Nest]], [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] says that he will punish the Spyglass Pirate for his consistent failure to stop [[Rayman]] by seeing how well he would [[Swimming|swim]] in molten lava. He then orders the Spyglass Pirate to prepare the [[Grolgoth]] for him in the meantime. It is not clear whether this punishment was ever carried out, and the fate of the Spyglass Pirate remains unknown.

In addition to the appearances seen in all versions, the Spyglass Pirate makes additional appearances exclusive to this version, to further impede the progress of [[Rayman]] and his friends. He appears leading an attack on [[Clark]] and [[Rayman]] at the entrance to the [[Rainbow Creek]]. He makes another appearance in the [[Pirate Factory]], where he is the pilot for the [[Boss Biditank]], a new, freshly developed weapon that the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] have made, and battles [[Rayman]] with it. He will jump out of the [[Boss Biditank|Biditank]] at times to switch off floor-[[switch]]es that control a [[laser]] that [[Rayman]] uses to damage the [[Boss Biditank|Biditank]]. However, his efforts are in vain, as [[Rayman]] is able to activate the [[laser]] enough times to damage the [[Boss Biditank|Biditank]], and the Spyglass Pirate flees thereafter.
