'''Dark Rayman''' is character who appears in some [[Main Page|Rayman fan games]]. He is a clone of [[Rayman]], magically created by [[Mr Dark]] in an attempt to destroy the original. His appearance is very similar to that of [[Rayman]], but with different coloration. He has glowing yellow eyes, grey skin, green tongue, pink hair and neckerchief, light blue gloves, and dark blue shirt and shoes.

==In ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''==
[[File:RDMRT-Dark Rayman Sprite.png|thumb|class=sprite|The Dark Rayman [[skin]] in ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''.]]
In ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'', Dark Rayman is an unlockable [[Skin|playable character]], although he plays no part in the game's story and fully behaves as if he was [[Rayman]], being nothing more than a [[skin]]. Some of his animations are slightly different and his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] gains unique colors depending on the [[power-up]].
He's unlocked in [[the Magician]]'s bonus [[shop]] by completing [[Dark Storm]].
 
==In ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''==
==={{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}===
In ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'', Dark Rayman reprises his role from {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game}}, where he was called {{rw|Bad Rayman}}. He appears in {{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}, summoned by [[Mr Dark]]'s spell.
He follows [[Rayman]] wherever he goes as well as copying his actions. [[Rayman]] cannot stand still for too long, because Dark Rayman will walk towards him after a brief moment, and both him and Dark Rayman will die instantly if they touch.
Similarly, [[Rayman]] must avoid colliding with Dark Rayman while retracing his steps. Dark Rayman cannot be harmed by any weapons that [[Rayman]] has, and the only way to defeat him without killing [[Rayman]] in the process is to reach the [[Exit sign|exit]] in the area.
 
Unlike {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game}}, where {{rw|Bad Rayman}} appeared only once - in the second part of {{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}, in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' he appears again, in the fourth part of the level - this time chasing [[Rayman]] in a dark castle infested with [[antitoon]]s.
 
[[Rayman]] has a number of [[skin]]s based on Dark Rayman's appearance, thus making him a playable character. When [[Rayman]] is wearing Dark Rayman's skin, the actual evil doppelganger will change to the {{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|GBC}} Dark Rayman [[skin]]. If the player is using the {{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|GBC}} Dark Rayman [[skin]] during the [[True Boss Rush]], the harder version of Dark Rayman will revert to his original appearance. In both cases, this does not change Dark Rayman's boss icon or his abilities in battle.


'''Mr Skops''' is a giant, dark-pink scorpion with a single massive claw, and yellow spikes on his body. He is the fifth major boss in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''. [[Rayman]] first encounters Mr Skops at the beginning of [[Molten Depths]], sleeping on the other side of a bridge of spiky platforms. Mr Skops, angry at his sleep being disturbed, smashes the ground, causing the bridge to collapse under [[Rayman]]'s feet, dropping him into the depths below.
===[[The End of the World]]===
Dark Rayman makes his final appearance in the game in the first part of [[The End of the World]]. This time he is riding [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]] as they engage [[Rayman]] and [[Bzzit]] in an aerial battle. This is the only time where Dark Rayman may be hit directly, although it is not clear whether [[Bzzit]]'s energy projectiles harm him or [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]].
During the battle, Dark Rayman is largely passive, while [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]] fires energy projectiles at [[Rayman]] and [[Bzzit]]. After being hit 5 times, Dark Rayman leaves the screen (harming [[Rayman]] if he touches him), and sends spirals of fireballs at the heroes, before returning to direct combat. He will repeat this after being hit 5 more times. Finally, after suffering 15 hits, Dark Rayman and [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]] are defeated.


After [[Rayman]] successfully navigates the deep, lava-filled caverns, defeating [[Darktoon]] in the process, he challenges Mr Skops again in his domain - {{rr|Mr Skops' Stalactites}}. The scorpion lures [[Rayman]] into his lair, alternating between claw and energy ball attacks, which [[Rayman]] must avoid. Although it is possible for [[Rayman]] to launch his fist and lure the energy balls back into Mr Skops, they cause no damage to the scorpion at this stage. Only when the final battle begins, Mr Skops' health bar becomes visible and he becomes vulnerable.
[[File:Rayman Redemption-GBC Dark Rayman Sprite.png|thumb|class=sprite|{{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|GBC}} Dark Rayman as he appears in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' and ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]''.]]
Dark Rayman can be fought again in the [[True Boss Rush]] where he gains stronger attacks, and he also switches to his {{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|GBC}} [[skin|appearance]] unless [[Rayman]] is already using the {{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|GBC}} Dark Rayman [[skin]], thus making him the only [[True Boss Rush]] opponent who can be challenged in their original colors aside from [[Mr_Dark#As_Darker_Mr_Dark|Darker Mr Dark]] prior to version 1.1.0.


In the final phase of the battle, Mr Skops alternates claw and energy ball attacks. [[Rayman]] must jump over the claw as it sails towards him and again as it returns. The energy balls that Mr Skops launches actually track [[Rayman]]'s fist, which is the secret to hurting Mr Skops - by throwing a punch at the scorpion at the right moment, [[Rayman]] will not only avoid being hit by the energy balls, but will cause them to hit Mr Skops instead, taking off one hit point.
===As an unlockable [[skin]]===
* The Dark Rayman [[skin]] may be purchased in [[the Shop]] for 500 [[ting]]s after [[the End of the World]] is completed.
* The Fraykenstein's Monster [[skin]] is an halloween-themed appearance based on Dark Rayman which may be purchased in [[the Shop]] for 500 [[ting]]s after [[the End of the World]] is completed.
* The Jack-o-Ray [[skin]] is another halloween-themed appearance based on Dark Rayman which may be purchased in [[the Shop]] for 500 [[ting]]s after [[the End of the World]] is completed.
* The {{rw|Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version}} of the Dark Rayman [[skin]] may be similarly purchased for 500 [[ting]]s after the [[Final Showdown (Rayman Redemption)|Dark]] [[Gift|medallion]] is completed, its two parts being found in [[the End of the World]] and [[the Final Challenge]].
* The [[Dark Magician]] [[Rayman]] [[skin]] is based on Dark Rayman's appearance, but with colors reminiscent of the [[Dark Magician]] and his creations. It is obtained in [[Dark Magician's Challenge]] if [[Rayman]] breaks the extra [[cage]]s there and speaks to the [[Dark Magician]] who will award him the [[skin]].


After every two hits taken by Mr Skops, he will drop a boulder, then walk towards [[Rayman]] and off the screen. [[Rayman]] must use the boulder to jump over the scorpion, as touching his claw will hurt [[Rayman]]. While off-screen, Mr Skops will attempt to sting [[Rayman]] from above four times. The tip of the sting always aims at [[Rayman]]'s location and is visible right before it is launched. [[Rayman]] must quickly move to avoid being stung. When Mr Skops returns to the screen, he will resume the alternating attack pattern.
===Achievements===
* Making Dark Rayman [[grimace]] (which is possible because he copies [[Rayman]]'s every move) grants the ''Right Back at ya'' {{rr|achievement}}.


In the second half of the battle, after Mr Skops has suffered 4 hits, instead of launching his claw straight ahead, he makes it track [[Rayman]] on the screen, making it harder to avoid. The rest of the patterns remain the same.
==In ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]''==
Dark Rayman returns from ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'' both as a [[Mr Dark]] [[curse]] and as his related [[skin]]s, behaving exactly as he did as a chaser.
Despite being possible to place multiple instances of [[Mr Dark]] casting the Dark Rayman [[curse]], it isn't possible to summon more than one Dark Rayman, even if his dark particles can be seen appearing more times.


==Achievements==
When [[Rayman]] is riding a mount such as [[Bzzit]] or the [[Robot Dinosaur]], Dark Rayman will summon a dark version of it to keep following [[Rayman]]. He can thus ride [[Moskito#As_Dark_Moskito|Dark Moskito]] or a dark version of the [[Robot Dinosaur]], which is the only way to see the latter as the dark [[Robot Dinosaur|dinosaur]] isn't available as a [[skin]].
* Defeating Mr Skops grants the ''Let Him Sleep'' [[achievement]].
 
His statues return to the [[Extra Locations (Rayman Redemption)|Extra]] template, and so does his boss theme from [[the End of the World]], while the [[Rigged power-up|rigged lives]] modeled after him were brought back in version 1.0.0.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman''}}, the spiky platform bridge and chase sequence were both part of the same encounter in {{rr|Mr Skops' Stalactites}}. ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' split them into two separate, simplified encounters. [[Rayman]] no longer has to stay on a slowly collapsing bridge while avoiding Mr Skops' claw, and the chase sequence has no rising lava.
* While the Dark Rayman from ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'' was mainly referred to as {{rw|Bad Rayman}} in the context of {{rw|Rayman (series)|official games}}, most fan games always refer to this evil clone as Dark Rayman, such as ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'', ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', or ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'' internally.
* Mr Skops' sting and tracking claw attacks in the final battle are new to ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'', and did not appear in ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}''.
* Prior to versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', Dark Rayman's [[skin]] would change to his {{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|Game Boy Color}} appearance when using the [[Rayman|SNES Rayman]] [[skin]] instead of the Dark Rayman one. This is most likely an oversight caused by the [[laser-washing powder]] suits being no longer considered [[skin]]s, thus changing the other [[skin]]s' identifier.
