'''U.F.O''' is an enemy type and the fourth boss of ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''. It's an [[Alien|extra-terrestrial]] of the same specie as {{rw|Joe}}, riding on top of a red [[flying saucer]].
Uniquely, it is both a boss and a regular enemy, as [[Rayman]] will first challenge a very strong U.F.O in the [[Flying Mountains]], and then identical much weaker enemies in [[Almost Space]].

==In ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''==
===In [[Alien Assault]]===
[[Rayman]] encounters the first U.F.O in the final part of [[Alien Assault]], as the boss of the [[Flying Mountains]].
The battle starts with [[Ting]]s pointing to the top-right corner of the screen, while the [[alien]] emerges from the left side. [[Rayman]] must stay on the move by jumping on [[cloud]]s or he'll lose a [[life]] by touching the bottom of the screen, as the U.F.O is flying upwards while shooting lightning bolts at [[Rayman]]. Uniquely for a boss battle, a [[cage]] is also found near the beginning, just a bit before a [[Simple Power]].

The U.F.O doesn't have any attacks besides its lightning bolts, and can otherwise only be a threat by touching or outrunning [[Rayman]]. It makes up for its lack of varied abilities with an extreme durability as it's one of the few bosses of the game with an accurate health bar, with twenty hits required to take it down.
After ten hits, the U.F.O becomes invincible as long as it hasn't reached the top of the area, where the second phase takes place on big [[cloud]]s with three [[Ting]]s.
During the final part, the U.F.O stops moving, but is out of reach. [[Rayman]] must thus jump on a vanishing [[cloud]] to punch the [[alien]].

In both phases, if [[Rayman]] has enough health, he can take advantage of the extra height gained by being hit by the lightning bolts to avoid falling below the [[cloud]]s or to attack the U.F.O faster.
Once it has being hit enough by [[Rayman]]'s [[Telescopic fist|fist]], the [[flying saucer]] blows up and the [[alien]] is sent flying away, leaving five [[coin]]s behind.
If [[Rayman]] returns to fight the U.F.O boss, the player can skip the entire battle by pressing the Enter key.

===In [[The Final Frontier]]===
More [[alien]]s riding on a [[flying saucer|U.F.O]] are encountered in [[Almost Space]], becoming generic enemies.
They still attack with lightning bolts aimed at [[Rayman]], but unlike their boss counterpart, they do not move and go down in three hits.

Identical [[flying saucer]]s without a pilot are also encountered many times in [[the Final Frontier]], although they only serve as harmless static platforms.

==Trivia==
* UFO stands for "unidentified flying object", altough it is not confirmed if this has the same intended meaning in ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''.
* The [[Flying saucer|U.F.O vehicle]] is the same as the {{rw|flying saucer}} encountered in {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman''}}, except with angry eyes, painted red instead of green and without {{rw|Joe}}'s brand painted on the middle of it.
* The [[Alien|friendly alien]] character in [[Almost Space]]'s hub had [[Flying saucer|an UFO]], which crashed while [[Collectible|some of its important parts]] fell to [[Rayman]]'s [[The Glade of Dreams|world]]. If [[Rayman]] finds and brings [[Collectible|the parts]], [[Alien|the friendly extra-terrestial]] rewards [[Rayman]] with twenty [[coin]]s and an extra [[life]], and says he'll be able to fix his [[Flying saucer|UFO]].
* The red [[flying saucer]]s in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' and ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'' have an extremely similar red design to [[Flying saucer|the U.F.O flying saucers]] from ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'', and [[Rayman]] can ride them to fly for a brief moment before they explode.
