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.

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]].
