'''Zombie Chickens''' are enemies found in the gloomier parts of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. They first appear in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', where it is said that they are the result of hens laying dead eggs out of terror at the events caused by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. They can also be seen in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] and very briefly in [[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|the console versions]]. Ghostly, spirit-like versions can also be seen floating around levels in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and its remakes. In the manual of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', it is explained that when the [[nymph]]s were on their way to create [[Rayman]], a bunch of Zombie Chickens attacked them and stole some [[Lum]]s that the [[nymph]]s were carrying, as a result, Rayman was made without limbs.  

[[File:EggVendingMachine-TDOTK-R3HH.png|320px|thumb|left|It seems that the [[Knaaren]] eat Zombie Chicken eggs; several vending machines in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]] contain them, and they are guarded fiercely by Zombie Chicken spirits.]]

They appear in the swamp levels of ''Rayman 2'', where they rise from the ground or swamp water and float towards Rayman to attack him. They reappear with similar behaviour in the [[Rayman 2 Forever|portable versions of ''Rayman 2'']] [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|and ''Rayman 3'']].

In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', it is revealed that the [[Knaaren]] are fond of Zombie Chicken eggs; many vending machines containing them are found in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]]. It is necessary for [[Rayman]] to pick up these eggs and place them on certain platforms to open doors; however, ghostly Zombie Chickens appear and harrass Rayman if he attempts to move their eggs. They have their own frantic, frightening-sounding theme in this game.

In the ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' manual, it is incorrectly stated that the Zombie Chicken is an ally of the [[Robo-Pirate]] army.
