When Moskito is first encountered in the third part of [[Moskito's Nest]], the final level of [[the Dream Forest]], he chases [[Rayman]] with a giant [[prickly fruit]]. He returns in the fifth part of the same level, where he must now be defeated. During the battle, Moskito attacks [[Rayman]] by trying to poke him with his proboscis and uses [[prickly fruit]]s of various sizes to attack. With precise timing, it is possible to hit him twice per turn, before he flies up and away after the first hit. After 12 hits, Moskito is defeated and falls to the ground as [[Rayman]] celebrates his victory. | When Moskito is first encountered in the third part of [[Moskito's Nest]], the final level of [[the Dream Forest]], he chases [[Rayman]] with a giant [[prickly fruit]].

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', up to four friendly [[mosquito]]es appear, and can be ridden by the player characters in the game's sidescrolling shooter levels. In this game, they are referred to as "Moskitoes", probably as a reference to the boss from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]. | In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', up to four friendly [[giant mosquito]]es appear, and can be ridden by the player characters in the game's sidescrolling shooter levels.
