The Knaaren are a race of monsters and villains in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. They are tall, fierce, invincible and territorial creatures whose attacks are dangerously strong. They live only in the deep, self-made labyrinthine caves and tunnels beneath the Desert of the Knaaren. They don't like sunlight and strangers. When the tunnels are under attack, one of the Knaaren hits a big gong, calling all surrounding Knaaren to move to the gong's position They aren't very talkative and usually roar or say only short lines to scare their enemy.
