The basic Henchman are the standard model, that comes in different colours with different weapons, but they all look largely the same. They sometimes appear in the level by parachuting or drilling up through the ground. More than often they are found sleeping on the job.

More than often they are found sleeping on the job. Notably, the drilling pirates can instantly kill [[Rayman]] if he steps on the place from which they drill upwards from underground. The parachuting pirates appear mostly in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', in which they ambush [[Rayman]] several times; only one appears in the original version, in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]].

==Ranks==
Despite them being robots, one of [[Razorbeard]]'s bodyguards puts his foot out to trip [[Spyglass pirate|Razorbeard's lackey]], indicating that they may have some kind of personality, or at least a sense of humour.
 
==Types==
The ranks of Henchmen 800 are determined by colour, though they overlap in the original and Dreamcast versions of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. Notably, some of them are exclusive to the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 versions.

===Green===
[[Image:Parachutepirate.png|thumb|320px|A purple parachuting pirate in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]]]]
The Green Henchmen are mainly the Officers of Security and are in charge of Guardian Tactics. These have a green vest with green and white striped pants. They have very little health and generally just stand still and slowly shoot, however they sometimes throw powder kegs. In the PlayStation version, however, they have a lot of life, making them difficult to kill, but only ever throw kegs.
===Purple===
''Main article: [[Purple Henchman 800]]''
 
They are found in all versions of the game. While they are the lowest rank of Henchman 800 in the original and Dreamcast versions, they are the second to lowest rank in the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 versions.
 
===Red===
''Main article: [[Red Henchman 800]]''


[[File:BlueHenchman800.jpg|thumb|left|320px|A blue Henchman 800]]
They are found in all versions of the game. They are the highest rank of Henchman 800 in all versions but the PlayStation adaptation, in which they are the lowest rank.
===Blue===

They're the same as the Green Henchmen, except blue instead of green and has a little life. They appeared in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' at [[the Fairy Glade]], [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]]  and [[the Menhir Hills]]. The Blue Henchmen are the uncommon Henchman 800s. The Blue Henchmen never appeared in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. The Blue Henchmen 800 are the only type of Robo-Pirates that appear in the [[Rayman 3 (mobile phone)|mobile version of Rayman 3]] and they have different caracteristics: these are limbless, with a red eye, a different type of hook and they only shoot normal energy projectiles.

[[File:PurpleHenchman800.jpg|thumb|right|320px|A purple Henchman 800]]
They are found in the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 versions of the game. While they are the second to highest rank of Henchman 800 in the former, they are the lowest rank in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.


===Purple===
===Grey-brown===
These are much like the Green Henchmen, except purple instead of green, and they have much more life, and have brass hooks. Their bullets are often larger, and they have a habit of firing multiple bullets in quick succession. They move around a bit, sometimes jumping to dodge [[Rayman]]'s attacks. In the PlayStation version, their bullets are the same but are always fired in sets of three, in between running back and forth. They have more life in the PlayStation version, but not as much as the Green Henchmen. They're given a similar appearance to the Blue Henchmen.
''Main article: [[Grey-brown Henchman 800]]''
 
They are found in the PlayStation version of the game, in which they are the highest rank of Henchman 800.  


===Yellow===
===Yellow===
[[File:PirateYellow.jpg|thumb|left|150px|A Yellow Henchman in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'']]
''Main article: [[Yellow Henchman 800]]''
The Yellow Henchmen have much more life, but move very little. Instead of bullets, they launch streams of fire, which move very quickly, and also throw cannonballs which start a fire where they land which causes damage when [[Rayman]] walks on it.


===Greyish-brown===
They appear in the PlayStation 2 version of the game, in which they are the second to highest rank of Henchman 800.  
The Greyish-brown Henchmen are the highest rank in the PlayStation version of the game, in which they shoot large energy projectiles.


===Red===
===Zombie Henchman===
[[Image:pirate.jpg|thumb|A red member of the [[Robo-Pirate]] Army]]
''Main article: [[Zombie Henchman]]''
These Henchmen, also known as Red Rums, are the strongest of the standard Henchmen, and appear with red vests and red and yellow stripes on their pants. In the original ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', they are the strongest Henchmen, but vary in some ways. Some of them have more health then all other henchmen and fire large cannonballs, usually three at a time. Other times they shoot the normal size cannonballs and drill through the ground, hoping to hit [[Rayman]]. One interesting feature of these Pirates is that they can instantly kill [[Rayman]] if he steps on the place from which they drill upwards from underground. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', they fire missiles which can home in on [[Rayman]], but these can be destroyed by Rayman's [[shot]]s. Red Henchmen have lots of life. However, in the PlayStation version, their rank is inverted and they have very little life and fire only basic shots. Two Red Henchmen are used as the bodyguards in front of [[Razorbeard]]'s cabin, even in the PlayStation version. Two of them also carry [[Globox]] to his prison cell in the opening movie. Later on, one of the bodyguards puts his foot out to trip [[Spyglass pirate|Razorbeard's lackey]], indicating that they may have some kind of personality, or at least a sense of humour. The red version of Henchman 800 is a playable character in all versions of ''[[Rayman M]]''.
