''"This place is guarded by a walking shell. I heard that it may be possible to tame it"'' - Murphy, when explaining to Rayman about the shell.

'''The Menhir Hills''' is a location from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', ''[[Rayman 2: Revolution]]'', and ''[[Rayman DS]]''. It is characterized by its focus on riding [[Walking Shell]]s, its short length (one of the shortest levels in all versions of ''Rayman 2''), being the only level other than the [[Fairy Glade]] and [[Marshes of Awakening]] that [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]] must re-visit at least once to complete the game, and being the first level in the game to give Rayman a sidekick--in this case, [[Clark]].

The Menhir Hills are mountainous foothills covered with large, pine tree-like boulders known as "menhirs," hence the area's name. In most regions of the foothills, barely a sound of life can be heard, though every now and then the falling over of a menhir breaks the silence. Large trees stand as loners in the small clearings that dot the landscape. A great river flows through the Menhir Hills, and bridges are twice necessary to cross them.

The Menhir Hills are in several instances exceedingly difficult to cross on foot; similar to the [[Lava Sanctuary]], patches of the hills are engulfed by giant, thorny ~~plant roots~~ crossable only by machines. These roots occasionally poke out of the walls of the several small tunnels that pave holes in the mountainside. Where the ~~roots~~ don't grow, the ground is still commonly too steep to hike.

The Menhir Hills are in several instances exceedingly difficult to cross on foot; similar to the [[Lava Sanctuary]], patches of the hills are engulfed by giant, thorny [[nettles]] crossable only by machines. These roots occasionally poke out of the walls of the several small tunnels that pave holes in the mountainside. Where the nettles don't grow, the ground is still commonly too steep to hike.

When [[Admiral Razorbeard]] seized Rayman's world, the Menhir Hills was the construction site of two Robo-Pirate training facilities: the '''Military Academy''' and the '''Elite Troop Training Academy'''. These facilities largely cut the hills into three segments.
