A '''Shell''' is a highly-explosive, rocket-shaped, animalistic robot in [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]] and its remakes. They were built by [[Robo-Pirate Army|the Pirates]], and are used by them to guard passages. They chase [[Rayman]] if he comes within their line of sight. If Rayman manages to avoid touching them for long enough as they chase him, they become tamed, and [[Rayman]] can jump on their backs and ride them. This can be done easily if they are sleeping, in which case it is unnecessary to tame them. If they hit [[Rayman]], or any other object or creature, they will explode, which can cause the player some health loss. | A '''Shell''' is a highly-explosive, rocket-shaped, animalistic robot in [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]] and its remakes.
