	Because of its immense power, the Great Protoon becomes the target of [[Mr Dark]]'s evil scheme in [[Rayman 1\|the original game]]. [[Mr Dark]] steals the Protoon from its resting place between two carven stone hands, overpowering [[Betilla]] the Fairy in order to do so. The [[Electoon]]s become scattered as a result of the Protoon's displacement, and are subsequently captured by [[Mr Dark]]'s minions and imprisoned in [[cage]]s. [[Rayman]]'s primary objectives during the game are to recover the Great Protoon and free the [[Electoon]]s. When [[Rayman]] finally defeats [[Mr Dark]] in [[Candy Château\|his Château]], the game ends without showing the Great Protoon's recovery. However, an epilogue screen indicates that the Great Protoon was indeed rescued.

The '''Great Protoon''' is a mystical pink orb of light which acts as the source of all energy in [[The Glade of Dreams\|Rayman's world]]. Appearing only in [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'' game]], it maintains the harmony between nature and the people of the world. The [[Electoon]]s gravitate around it, and seem to have some sort of symbiotic relationship with it – without it, they scatter all over the world, and the balance of harmony is lost.

	The Great Protoon's name is derived from the word ‘proton’, while the [[Electoon]]s' name is derived from the word ‘electron’. Protons and electrons are subatomic particles; electrons orbit protons and provide them with stability.

	Because of its immense power, the Great Protoon becomes the target of [[Mr Dark]]'s evil scheme in [[Rayman 1\|the original game]]. [[Mr Dark]] steals the Protoon from its resting place between two carven stone hands, overpowering [[Betilla]] the Fairy in order to do so. The [[Electoon]]s become scattered as a result of the Protoon's displacement, and are subsequently captured by [[Mr Dark]]'s minions and imprisoned in [[cage]]s. [[Rayman]]'s primary objectives during the game are to recover the Great Protoon and free the [[Electoon]]s. When [[Rayman]] finally defeats [[Mr Dark]] in [[Candy Château\|his Château]], the game ends without showing the Great Protoon's recovery. However, an epilogue screen indicates that the Great Protoon was indeed rescued.

	In ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the Great Protoon is replaced by [[the Heart of the World]], a glowing pink sphere comprised of 1000 [[Yellow Lum]]s. In addition to their similar appearance, the two objects serve the same function (the provision of energy and harmony throughout the world), and the catastrophic consequences which result when they come under attack (the proliferation of freaks and hostile characters) is also the same. It has been speculated that the Great Protoon and [[the Heart of the World]] are actually the same object, only under different names. The way in which [[The Heart of the World\|the Heart]] appears to be comprised of many bodies of light while the Great Protoon seemed to contain only a few may be a result of its destruction at the hands of the [[Robo-Pirate]] army and its subsequent reconstruction by the [[Teensie]]s. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', [[Polokus]] tells [[the First Grand Minimus]] to take a holiday from guarding [[the Heart of the World]].
