It's a bit strange though that the Yellow Lums, the things that know about everything, the things that created conscience itself, wouldn't know where Rayman came from... then again, we can't blame the creators for making a text years before they decided to reveal how Rayman began, and then throw that in their face. That isn't really fair. On another note, I found that the Knowledge of the World ended quite inconclusively... they could have at least ended with something more... solid.

Yeah, the Piranha thing I can understand, but I've never really seen Eig - I haven't played any other versions besides the PC one, so I wouldn't know what Eig looks like in detail by heart (don't link me to the Wiki - I have already checked that long ago and seen the pics there). But see it from my perspective, I was TRYING to see a link between the two games, and then I wouldn't assume a picture is something from the same game if I could also link it to something in RO, which was my point.

Ahaha, yes, I would have never thought of them. I still think being eaten by one of those is the funniest death animation in the game. The sounds they make... XD
