Gongs are friendly creatures that appear in Rayman Origins and the Back to Origins painting in Rayman Legends.

A sleeping gong, as it appears in Rayman Origins.

Description

Several gongs can be found in the Desert of Dijiridoos. When the heroes hit a smiley gong, it creates a circular sound wave, driving away dense swarms of flies and temporarily opening up paths which can then be traversed. When heroes hit a cyclops gong, it creates a force-field around them, a particular circular sound wave that follows them for a short time; it will slowly decrease in size until it vanishes, rendering the heroes vulnerable to flies again.
