The appearance of the Spyglass Pirate is somewhat different from those of the other [[Robo-Pirate]]s. While he is still robotic, he looks more like a slightly chubby stereotypical pirate. The lower part of his mechanical body is coloured green to resemble trousers. He wears a yellow scarf covered with red polka-dots around his waist, and has a red-and-white striped bandana tied round his head. Like most Robo-Pirates, he is noticeably taller than [[Admiral Razorbeard]]. | The appearance of the Spyglass Pirate is somewhat different from those of the other [[Robo-Pirate]]s.

Before the final boss battle in [[the Crow's Nest]], [[Admiral Razorbeard]] says that he will punish the Spyglass Pirate for his consistent failure to stop [[Rayman]] by seeing how well he would swim in molten lava. He then orders the Spyglass Pirate to prepare the [[Grolgoth]] for him in the meantime. It is not clear whether this punishment was ever carried out, and the fate of the Spyglass Pirate remains unknown. | Before the final boss battle in [[the Crow's Nest]], [[Admiral Razorbeard]] says that he will punish the Spyglass Pirate for his consistent failure to stop [[Rayman]] by seeing how well he would swim in molten lava.
