In the PlayStation 2 remake of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', a new boss named [[Boss Chenille]] is introduced. It looks just like a normal caterpillar, but with some significant differences: whereas they are a purplish-black in colour, [[Boss Chenille]] is blood-red; [[Boss Chenille]] is also somewhat larger, and it eyes are identical to the [[ | In the PlayStation 2 remake of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', a new boss named [[Boss Chenille]] is introduced.

[[Boss Chenille]] is found in a room in [[The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Sanctuary of Lava]]. It is summoned by [[Rayman]] performing a [[Rain Mask|rain dance]] on what looks like a greyish version of one of the [[Magic Sphere]]s' bases. When this is done, it emits a beam of light towards another such base. When [[Rayman]] [[Magic fist|shoots]] it, it too emits a beam of light towards another base. After shooting several more bases, the beam of light has finished its circumnavigation of the chamber; a door opens, and [[Boss Chenille]] enters. | [[Boss Chenille]] is found in a room in [[The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Sanctuary of Lava]].

When the hero shoots it, he splits into five black [[baby caterpillar]]s. When they are killed, [[Boss Chenille]]'s health meter decreases. As the battle wears on, the segments of [[Boss Chenille]]'s body slowly disappear; by the end, it resembles an enormous red version of one of the [[baby caterpillar]]s. When this final form is defeated, [[Boss Chenille]] vanishes for good. | ||

And during the battle, [[Boss Chenille]] spawns [[baby caterpillar]]s from its body. All of this led to speculation that [[Boss Chenille]] may be the progenitor or ‘mother’ of the caterpillar species, in addition to the speculation that it is their leader. | ||

They can then be picked up by [[Rayman]] as if they were [[keg]]s, [[Magic Sphere]]s or [[plum]]s; however, this action serves no practical purpose within the game. These caterpillars splatter if they fall into lava or spikes, or if [[Rayman]] picks them up and throws them into a hard surface or other creature. If left lying on the ground for a while, they can recover themselves. | ||
