Spiky snakes[1] are enemies which appear in Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, Rayman Fiesta Run and Rayman Mini.
Description
There are five types of spiky snakes. While their appearance is different, they share common characteristics such as an elongated body covered in spikes. They resemble insects more than snakes.
Appearances
Rayman Origins
In Rayman Origins, two types of spiky snakes are found in Snake Eyes and Don't Shoot the DJ, two levels of the Grumbling Grottos. The purple ones are invincible, while the red ones are vulnerable. Defeating them takes as many mosquito shots as their number of body segments.

Rayman Legends
In Rayman Legends, two other types of spiky snakes appear.
There are the spiky snakes from Fiesta de los Muertos, which are red and purple, with black eyes and double pincers in their mouth. They are found in Snakes on a Cake, Lucha Libre Get Away, Mariachi Madness and many invaded levels.
The other type is the spiky snakes from Olympus Maximus, which are red in color. There are only two of them and both are found in the Amazing Maze.
In the Back to Origins levels, the spiky snakes from Rayman Origins are also encountered, and are unchanged in this game.

Rayman Fiesta Run
In Rayman Fiesta Run, the red spiky snakes from Rayman Origins make a return in "Cater-plane!", a level of the Candy World.
Rayman Mini
In Rayman Mini, tiny spiky snakes appear in the Rabbit Hole and the level "Caterp-Hell-Art" of the Bonus world. From version 1.3.0 onwards, they are also found in "Concerto in Punch Major", the music level set in the Rabbit Hole.
They resemble those from Fiesta de los Muertos, but their bodies are covered in a green carapace with red dots. Their spikes are red, much more numerous and look like thorns. On their head, they have four black eyes without irises or pupils, different from those in Rayman Legends, and two huge red mandibles. This is the game where they look the most like insects.

Early development
The game files of Rayman Legends contain the original paintings for the musical levels. On the one for Mariachi Madness, a spiky snake from Olympus Maximus can be seen, but purple in color. This type of enemy was eventually removed from the level and the rest of the game.
