The '''mini Janos''' (whose official name is unknown) are a variety of enemies that are encountered only in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes. They are dark-green one-eyed round monsters with skeletal arms that are found mostly in [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], which is guarded by their much larger counterpart, [[Jano]], though another one appears at a certain point in [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. | The '''mini Janos''' (whose official name is unknown) are a variety of enemies that are encountered only in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes.

The first type of mini Janos attack by breathing fire, and they often attempt to avoid [[Rayman]] when they look each other in the eye while attacking. Like [[Jano]], they can dig underground, and they usually make their ambush at what seems to be a dead end, and there is usually more than one to defeat. If [[Rayman]] gets too close to them, they will grab and devour him | The first type of mini Janos attack by breathing fire, and they often attempt to avoid [[Rayman]] when they look each other in the eye while attacking.

The second type appears only once, and is characterised by a higher resistance and a different behaviour. Instead of breathing fire, this mini Jano hides behind columns, and only attacks [[Rayman]] (by leaping on him and biting him) when he turns away. The only way to defeat this one is to wait until it get close, turn towards it and shoot. | The second type appears only once, and is characterised by a higher resistance and a different behaviour.

If mini Janos are met at a dead end, all of them need to be defeated in order to reveal a secret item, usually a [[plum]] or a [[Magic Sphere]]. | If mini Janos are met at a dead end, all of them need to be defeated in order to reveal a secret item, usually a [[plum]] or a [[Magic Sphere]]. | ||
Occasionally, the mini Janos on the higher platform (only accessible in Revolution) wear hats similar to their larger counterpart. | |||
In the PlayStation version of the game, only the fire-breathing mini Janos appear, though twice as resistant and in both [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] and [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', both versions are notably weaker, especially those breathing fire, which on the other hand are more numerous. | In the PlayStation version of the game, only the fire-breathing mini Janos appear, though twice as resistant and in both [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] and [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]].
