If [[Rayman]] touches them, he loses a hit point, and depending on his position, he can be knocked backwards into the water and lose a [[life]]. [[Rayman]] can defend himself from piranhas by punching them with his [[telescopic fist]], which shatters their sharp teeth and defeats them for a short period, until they come back. Only a single [[Telescopic fist|punch]] is required. | ||

Larger piranhas were intended to make a return in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but [[Rayman Origins (early production)|they were scrapped]]. Artwork of the game depicts the piranha as a [[fish]] with a gigantic mouth and enormous teeth, blue-orange skin and red eyes. Their attack pattern is unknown but an artwork from ''[[The Daily Bubble]]'' shows one with its jaws wide open, suggesting that it would try to bite the players similarly to how [[Antitoon|Darktoons]] attack in the game. | |||
Those larger piranhas also appear on the icon of the achievement/trophy "[[Survivor!]]" (only on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3), despite the latter being unlocked by interacting with the smaller piranhas. | Those larger piranhas also appear on the icon of the achievement/trophy "[[Survivor!]]" (only on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3), despite the latter being unlocked by interacting with the smaller piranhas. | ||
