Two red Henchmen are used as the bodyguards in front of [[Admiral Razorbeard]]'s cabin, even in the PlayStation version, and two of them also carry [[Globox]] to his prison cell in the opening movie. The red version of [[Henchman 800]] is a playable character in all versions of ''[[Rayman M]]''.

In the original and Dreamcast versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', the red colour represents the highest rank of [[Henchman 800]], above [[Purple Henchman 800|purple]]. They exist in two types, a weak version taking six [[Magic fist|shots]] to defeat, and a strong version taking nine [[Magic fist|shots]]. The weak type, technically identical to the strong version of [[purple Henchman 800]], fires regular energy projectiles, except for one in [[the Iron Mountains]] and another in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] – the latter being exclusive to the Dreamcast version, which fire large energy projectiles. The strong type fires large energy projectiles, except for one in [[the Iron Mountains]] which fires [[helicopter bomb]]s in the Dreamcast version. Two exceptional types can also be found in the game: the red [[Henchman 800]] standing in a rowing boat in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], which takes five [[Magic fist|shots]] to defeat and fires regular energy projectiles, and the one throwing [[keg]]s from the external part of a stronghold in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]], which takes only one [[Magic fist|shot]] to defeat.

The red colour represents the highest rank of [[Henchman 800]], above [[Green Henchman 800|green]], [[Purple Henchman 800|purple]] and [[Yellow Henchman 800|yellow]]. They fire homing missiles which look like miniature brown versions of those used by the [[Grolgoth]] in the PlayStation version of the game. Those missiles follow a curved trajectory and can be destroyed by [[Rayman]]'s [[Magic fist|shots]], constituting on the other hand an additional protection for the [[pirate]], and making it notably harder to use charged [[Magic fist|shots]]. They take six yellow [[Magic fist|shots]] to defeat and mostly appear in the late levels of the game.

Only two red Henchman 800 appear. Both act as the bosses: one is fought in [[the Precipice]], the other in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]] (the final level in this version). Their [[resistance]] is much higher than that of any [[Henchman 800]] in the original version. The two fights are carried out in an identical fashion. Apart from their high [[resistance]], these [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] bear some minor differences from standard ones: their energy projectiles are green, and they can transform their legs (rather than one of their arms) into drills, giving them a resemblance to a jackhammer. No other [[Robo-Pirate]]s are encountered in ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]''; although dialogue and intertitles indicate that [[Rayman]]'s goal is to defeat [[Admiral Razorbeard]], the defeat of the red [[Henchman 800|Henchman]] in [[Tomb of the Ancients]] is treated as a decisive victory by the characters.

A particular red Henchman 800 is one of the five playable characters that are initially available in ''[[Rayman M]]''. He looks like the other red [[Henchman 800|Henchmen]], apart from the fact that he has a built-in jet pack, which he uses to glide.

Inanimate red Henchmen appear alongside [[Gorilla Pirates]], [[Spyglass Pirate]]s and [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]] in a cameo appearance in the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]]. They can be found in the third level via a hidden passage inside some machinery, they are set up in a manner evocative of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Supper_(Leonardo_da_Vinci) The Last Supper]'', by Leonardo da Vinci.
