Name of the creatures lurking in holes in the Fairy Council
I don't think they have any in-game description, and all we've got is their French name (Noirôdeur) from the old Rayman 3 website and the press pack, as well as the information that they basically spend their entire lives in holes, observing what happens outside.
While I don't know of an English version of the press pack, the old Rayman 3 website should have contained this information, and it may still be around.
Any idea what it's called?

I tried with webarchive both American and UK sites, sadly not enough snapshots.
I will email Ubisoft and ask them.

I think I have an English Press Kit PDF on my computer, but I might be wrong. It doesn't harm to try out though.

Oh yes, please check if you do. Ubi support was no use for me. Also if you find it, could you share attachment here?

Indeed, please upload it here if you can find it.
Re: Name of the creatures lurking in holes in the Fairy Coun
Darn, the press kit I have is in French, I had the feeling it was english. I fear I can't help.
Re: Name of the creatures lurking in holes in the Fairy Coun
And the mystery still goes on. Looks like only hope is eBay that once someone will sell English Press Kit.

Was there ever an English version?
Re: Name of the creatures lurking in holes in the Fairy Coun
Now that's a good question. If there was an English version I would probably have it already in my HDD.

If all else fails I suppose we could translate the name we have. "Blackstalkers" or something similar?
Re: Name of the creatures lurking in holes in the Fairy Coun
That could be used as a last resource.

Re: Name of the creatures lurking in holes in the Fairy Coun
Couldn't we just use the French name on the English Wiki, or is that a no-go?

Re: Name of the creatures lurking in holes in the Fairy Coun
Has the same problem happened before potatoes?
Re: Name of the creatures lurking in holes in the Fairy Coun
My suggestion is that we mention both original French name on English Wiki and then also say that it means Blackstalker.

Re: Name of the creatures lurking in holes in the Fairy Coun
A more accurate translation of the French name would be Blacklurker.
I'm in favour of creating an article using the original name and then mention the translation, as it's best to avoid made-up names whenever possible.

Sure, as long it is made clear that the English official name is not known.

Re: Name of the creatures lurking in holes in the Fairy Council
Almost seven years later, I was reminded of this and eventually got to create the article.

Re: Name of the creatures lurking in holes in the Fairy Council
Better late than never . I had no idea that these mysterious creatures had a name.
