Lavaroot

Lavaroots are enemies which appear in Rayman Legends, Rayman Adventures and Rayman: The Board Game.

Description

Lavaroots are similar to the darkroots, only they are bright red with a yellow "head", are lava, and have two red eyes. Like darkroots, they can only attack the player through direct contact.

In Rayman Legends

In Rayman Legends, lavaroots are seen sticking out of certain areas in certain levels, usually from bodies of lava. They are found in several invaded levels and in Wrestling with a Giant!, but more prominently in Olympus Maximus.

In some levels, they behave rather uniquely: in the queen Teensie area in Swarmed and Dangerous, a lavaroot will temporarily chase the player. In a certain area of Swarmed and Dangerous and the invaded levels for Ray and the Beanstalk, the Deadly Lights and Elevator Ambush, lavaroots will randomly pop out of certain areas and block them off, and the player must maneuver carefully to avoid them.

In Rayman Adventures

In Rayman Adventures, lavaroots are less prominent, but nonetheless, any tactics used to encounter them in Rayman Legends are to be applied here.

In Rayman: The Board Game

Lavaroots are set to appear in Rayman: The Board Game. They will appear as walls and obstacles on the Hell board.
