Henchman 800

Henchman 800 is the most common enemy in the computer game Rayman 2: The Great Escape.

The Henchman 800s in Rayman, though numerous, are fairly simple to beat for the player, though increasingly difficult in later levels. Different varieties appear in the game; both the look of the enemy and the weapon it utilizes varies. The Henchmen 800 are deployed by Razorbeard, the archvillain in Rayman 2, and like Razorbeard himself they are robotic pirates. Though robotic, the Henchmen display some intelligence in the game, such as in a scene where one trips Razorbeard's chancellor.

Henchmen can communicate, through not intelligible for the player. Like all other character's text, their speech is in an unintelligible language with subtitles for the player to read. Henchmen talk resembles the sound of machine parts moving around.
