Foutch

"Well, I say that you are a thief! A thief and a liar, to boot! Prepare to die!"

- Axel, Rayman 2: The Great Escape (PlayStation version)

Foutch (also known as the Guardian of the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava) is a villain and boss character from Rayman 2: The Great Escape. He is also the Guardian of the third Mask of Polokus.

He used to be good, but has then been driven insane by the Robo-Pirates' destruction of the Heart of the World. He doesn't listen to Rayman and thinks he is a lying thief who has come to steal the Mask for malevolent purposes. Ly te Fairy tries to "contact his spirit" but is unable to calm his down like she did with Umber, the Guardian of the second Mask.

This makes Foutch to be the most aggressive of the Guardians. He catches Rayman by surprise and punches him, making him lose his new super helicopter power from Ly the Fairy. Rayman falls into Foutch's magma-filled arena and the two start fight. The strategy is similar as with Axel - Rayman has to hit a stalactite with his magic first, causing it fall down on Foutch's head. The only difference is that Rayman has to do it for more times. When defeated, Fourth explodes, releasing many Red and Purple Lums.
