'''Céloche''' is a [[Hoodlum]]-piloted mechanical boss who appears in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. He is fought underwater in [[the Land of the Livid Dead]].
'''Céloche''' is a mechanical marine boss who appears in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. He is fought underwater in [[the Land of the Livid Dead]] and is presumably controlled by a [[Hoodlum]].


Céloche's first and only appearance is in the final level of [[the Land of the Livid Dead]]. He is a gigantic mechanical tripod, which seems to be piloted by a [[Hoodlum]]. After [[Rayman]] travels through a network of underwater tunnels decorated with [[Teensie]] carvings, he ends up at a large, round, underwater cavern, into which Céloche jumps from above. At first he attacks by opening his mouth and releasing a metal fish which Rayman cannot see for the rest of the battle; this is the device that disperses the homing missiles which follow [[Rayman]] around and damage him if he does not avoid them. To defeat Céloche, [[Rayman]] must let the missiles follow him and then do an underwater somersault while in between the missiles and Céloche, which causes them to miss and hit him instead of [[Rayman]]. This is reminiscent of the method by which Rayman defeats the [[Grolgoth]] in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. Céloche can also fire a horizontally-moving laser beam at [[Rayman]], which Rayman can dodge with a somersault. Céloche is also capable of firing blasts very similar to those used by [[Armaguiddon]]s later in the game.

Céloche's powerful turret is also capable of firing blasts very similar to those used by [[Armaguiddon]]s later in the game.


When defeated, Céloche collapses onto the lake bed. The fate of its pilot is unknown.

*Céloche's eyes look identical to the windows found in [[Robo-Pirate]] strongholds in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. This suggests that the [[Hoodlum]]s may have used the wreckage of old [[Robo-Pirate]] installations to construct their own vehicles and buildings.
*Céloche's eyes and the 'face' on its turret look identical to the windows found in [[Robo-Pirate]] strongholds in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''.

*It is highly likely that Céloche's design was inspired by that of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripod_(The_War_of_the_Worlds) Martian tripod] from H.G. Wells's classic science fiction novel, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds ''The War of the Worlds'']. Both are gigantic, mechanical tripods; both are piloted by antagonists; both use a Heat-Ray weapon; and both are capable of traversing both land and water.
