In this version he repeatedly speeds ahead of [[Rayman]] and [[Ssssam]] before rising out of the water and partially obstructing their path.

	Eig appeared in some concept artwork for ''[[Rayman 2]]'', but was not present in the original Nintendo 64 and PC releases of the game. He was most likely scrapped from these versions due to time constraints as he is mentioned in the game's code. However, Eig was restored in the Dreamcast version of the game, as well as the PlayStation 2 remake, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. An old model from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' has been found of what appears to be Eig ~~without fins and a~~ purple skin.
