The '''Moons''' are the two natural satellites of [[the Glade of Dreams]] – the world in which the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] takes place. Both of the Moons are white, and one of them is larger than the other. Like the [[Suns]], the number of Moons visible fluctuates between one and two, even within the same game.

The Moons are first seen in the final level of the Sega Saturn version of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. When [[Rayman]] confronts [[Mr Dark]] in [[Candy Château]], the smaller of the Moons can be glimpsed through the Château's skylight. When Rayman finally defeats Mr Dark, the five stained-glass windows of the Château shatter, revealing the larger Moon as well. At an earlier point in the game, Rayman battles [[Space Mama]] on a theatre stage made to resemble the surface of the Moon.

The Moons are visible more frequently in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', where they are often seen in levels which have night-time sections, such as [[the Fairy Glade]], [[the Precipice]], [[the Echoing Caves]] and the [[Tomb of the Ancients]]. One of the Moons can be seen looming large in the sky above [[Polokus]]'s domain, and one can even be seen above [[the Hall of Doors]] in the PlayStation version of the game. However, the number of Moons visible varies between one and two.

The Moons are a common sight in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', where they appear in [[the Fairy Council]], [[the Bog of Murk]] and [[the Summit Beyond the Clouds]]. Like the [[Suns]], neither of the Moons are ever seen alone in this game.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the Moons play an important part in the story: it is revealed that [[Rayman]] was woven from rays of moonlight by [[Betilla the Fairy]], and that this was the source of his name.

The Moons also make appearances outside the mainsteam [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. For example, one of the Moons forms the backdrop to [[Rayman]]'s battle with [[Mr Dark]] in [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of the original game]]. The Moons also appear in the multiplayer spin-off, ''[[Rayman M]]''.
