Psychlops are encountered very early in the game, being the very first enemy the heroes come across. They are either found sleeping or bouncing in one place when encountered by the heroes. If the heroes get too close to a Psychlops without quickly attacking it, it will deploy its spikes; if this happens, the heroes will need to move away until they retract their spikes, otherwise they can't be defeated and the heroes will get hurt. Unless they have been startled and are protruding their spikes, their eye is always half-closed. They seem to have an alliance with the [[Antitoon|Darktoons]] and the [[Livid Dead]], since they are with them in the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of The Livid Dead]] in the opening cutscene of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. They appear in the [[Jibberish Jungle]], [[Gourmand Land]], the [[Sea of Serendipity]], [[Mystical Pique]], and the [[Gourmand Land|Luscious Lakes]]. | Psychlops are encountered very early in the game, being the very first enemy the heroes come across.
