{{quote|text=We can no longer even keep track of all the sinister results provoked by the arrival of [[Robo-Pirate Army|the pirates]]: disturbances in overall harmony, the proliferation of [[piranha]]s, [[Spider (Rayman 2)‎|giant spiders]] and [[Caterpillar (disambiguation)|caterpillars]], etc...|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

[[Caterpillar (disambiguation)|Caterpillars]] are Nightmares of [[Polokus]]. Two distinct types of caterpillar are known to exist: The big ones and the [[Baby caterpillar|small ones]].

Caterpillars often move in swarms; each caterpillar has a unique route which it patrols endlessly, unless it catches sight of an intruder. They move by crawling and leaping. They produce strange sounds, similar to the hissings of a snake. They attack [[Rayman]] by jumping on him, but they cannot survive a single [[shot]] from his [[magic fist]].  

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

In the time leading up to the events of this game, caterpillars were among the Nightmares of [[Polokus]] who managed to escape [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] after the destruction of [[the Heart of the World]] by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s.

 

[[Rayman]] confronts them in [[the Fairy Glade]], in [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], in [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] and [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]].

In the PlayStation 2 remake of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', a new boss named [[Boss Chenille]] is introduced. It looks just like a normal caterpillar, but with some significant differences: whereas they are a purplish-black in colour, [[Boss Chenille]] is blood-red; [[Boss Chenille]] is also somewhat larger, and it eyes are identical to the [[baby caterpillar]]s' ones.  

[[Boss Chenille]] is found in a room in [[The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Sanctuary of Lava]]. It is summoned by [[Rayman]] performing a [[Rain Mask|rain dance]] on what looks like a greyish version of one of the [[Magic Sphere]]s' bases. When this is done, it emits a beam of light towards another such base. When [[Rayman]] [[Magic fist|shoots]] it, it too emits a beam of light towards another base. After shooting several more bases, the beam of light has finished its circumnavigation of the chamber; a door opens, and [[Boss Chenille]] enters.  

==In the [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance adaptation of ''Rayman 3'']]==

Caterpillars are also seen in various levels in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']]; unlike those in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', these caterpillars do not die when hit, but rather, their eyes turn red, and they shrink to the size of a [[baby caterpillar]] and fall to the ground, where they remain, trembling. They can then be picked up by [[Rayman]] as if they were [[keg]]s, [[Magic Sphere]]s or [[plum]]s; however, this action serves no practical purpose within the game. These caterpillars splatter if they fall into lava or spikes, or if [[Rayman]] picks them up and throws them into a hard surface or other creature. If left lying on the ground for a while, they can recover themselves.
