I think we can assume that "Colossus" is Umber's species, given that the Teensies call him "a stone Colossus"?

'''Umber''' is a 'boss' in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and is the Guardian of the [[Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. Unlike the other bosses in the game, he is the only one who does not fight. He is only activated when Rayman connects the magic spheres to the pyramids of the right colours, and Rayman has to stand on his head as he walks across the lava, sinking as he goes along, which then counts as defeat.

He is only activated when [[Rayman]] connects the [[Magic sphere|magic spheres]] to the pyramids of their respective colours, and Rayman has to stand on his head as he walks across the lava, sinking as he goes along, which then counts as defeat. Should the player choose to return to [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]] after 'defeating' Umber, he can still be found there in his previous position, alive and well, waiting to ferry Rayman across the lava. This suggests that he survives his being submerged in lava, rather than sacrificing his life to help Rayman, which could be inferred from making only a single playthrough of the level.


In the PlayStation version of Rayman 2, Umber is known as '''Colossus''', and warns him about the [[Ninjaws|Ninja Henchmen]], while advising him about their weaknesses. Because of this, Colossus is thought to be the friendliest of the Guardians of the [[Four Masks of Polokus|Four Masks]], unlike [[Axel]] and [[Foutch]]. He even admits that it's an honor helping such a hero like Rayman. This is because of Ly, who contacted Colossus and reasoned with him to help Rayman.
In the PlayStation version of Rayman 2, Umber is known only as "a stone Colossus"; like the other guardians, he remains unnamed in this version. He warns Rayman about the [[Ninjaws|Ninja Henchmen]], while advising him about their weaknesses. Because of this, Umber is thought to be the friendliest of the Guardians of the [[Four Masks of Polokus|Four Masks]], unlike [[Axel]] and [[Foutch]]. He even admits that it's an honor helping such a hero such as Rayman, probably referring to the events of [[Rayman 1|the original game]], in which [[Rayman]] saved the world from the evil [[Mister Dark]]. His benevolence is thanks to [[Ly]], who "contacted his spirit", according to the [[Grand Minimus]], and explained [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|the situation]] involving [[Polokus]] and the [[Robo-Pirates|Robo-Pirate]] invasion to him, thus convincing him to help Rayman. Unfortunately, Ly's tactic did not work on [[Foutch]], as he had already gone mad from the destruction of [[the Heart of the World]], forcing Rayman to battle him for the [[Four Masks of Polokus|Third Mask]].
