Biography

Past

The Firemonster was a Knaaren who originally resided at the Desert of the Knaaren where he and his people have worshipped their god, the Leptys, and was bestowed into having his power granted to him. At some point after the events of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, he relocated himself to the Land of the Livid Dead and begins to use his newfound ability to generate lava that spreads throughout the land. Soon, the land was polluted into a hellish landscape and the Firemonster would remain in his pit to begin his reign of terror. Making sure that his reign would not put to an end, he locked the entrance to his lair using by stealing the runs of the Menhirs and placing them in each separate section.

Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge

When the Hoodlums return to the land and reestablish their posts, the Firemonster had no intention of fighting them but instead allow them to fortify even at the dangerous rate of the lava overflowing. Rayman and Globox journeyed to the Land of the Livid Dead to stop the Hoodlums and entered the Pit of Endless Fires, the source of the lava pollution caused by the Firemonster. Rayman recognizes the Firemonster to be a dangerous threat and insisted on having their teamwork in defeating him. The Firemonster comes towards the duo to fight them only for Globox to step on a button that lifted a pillar with a Fire Protection can. Using the can, Rayman gains the protection from the lava and uses a charged punch at the Firemonster, giving him damage to half of his health. This step repeats and the Firemonster dissolves into ash, ending his life and his rule of the Land of the Livid Dead.

With the Firemonster deceased, it is presumed that the lava had stopped overflowing and the land has restored to its peaceful state.
