Mr. Skops is a giant dark pink scorpion with yellow spikes over his body, as well as a massive claw, and the fifth boss in Rayman, located in the Caves of Skops, in Mr. Skops' Stalactites.
He is first encountered asleep on the other side of a fiery pit covered with spiky platforms. Rayman finds himself in front of the sleeping Mr. Skops who, angry at being woken, attacks him.
He attacks by throwing his claw, which Rayman must jump over as it sails part him, and again as it returns to its owner. Mr. Skops also strikes the ground with his claw, causing the platforms which Rayman stands on to fall into the lava below, one by one.
When all platforms are gone, Rayman must grab the edge of the platform Mr. Skops is standing on to avoid his attacks, and then jump back onto the platform when he thumps the ground. Mr. Skops then runs away, while causing lava to rise in an attempt to kill Rayman. He also demonstrates his ability to shoot energy balls from his tail, which destroy platforms.
Then, Rayman has a one-on-one battle with Mr. Skops, in which he must dodge his claw and punch his energy balls back at him. When has only one health point left, he moves forward, making his last attacks much harder to dodge.
Once beaten, Mr. Skops falls to pieces.
