==Description==

~~Missiles~~ are large living creatures, which always wear a crazed smile. They are often fired at the heroes by [[hunter]]s, who no longer fire [[bullet]]s like they did in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. They are also constantly fired from devices mounted on pipes in some levels.

==In ''Rayman Origins''==

Two different types of missiles are found in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', one being blue, and the other being a red homing missile. The blue missile is less dangerous; it can only move horizontally, and it can be used as a platform in order to reach higher places. The red homing missile is much more dangerous; it moves much faster, and the heroes will need to avoid contact with it. A red homing missile will track the heroes for long time, though it will eventually explode if the heroes can avoid it for long enough; it will also explode if it collides with a solid object. It is possible to destroy these missiles, by ~~the~~ defeating the enemies who fired them, or by shooting projectiles at them from a [[mosquito]]. It is also possible to have a red homing missile collide on the Hunter who sent it, which will unlock the [[Back At You!]] achievement / trophy.

==In ''Rayman Legends''==

The missiles return in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', where they behave just like they do in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', with the addition of an orange one which behaves the same as the blue ones. They are also fired by [[hunter]]s in this game, but they only appear in levels from the [[Back to Origins]] painting. The [[Armored Toad]] shoots groups of orange and red missiles during the battle against the heroes. Red homing missiles also appear in some parts of [[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]], as well as some blue ones; they are fired out of small devices which are mounted on pipes.

==In ''Rayman Fiesta Run''==

In ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', missiles are fired by [[hunter]]s, which appear in the levels [[Rayman Fiesta Run#Levels|"Scrambled eggs" and "Aerial battle!"]]. They behave the same as the blue missiles from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', except they are orange sorbet-shaped missiles in this game.

==In ''Rayman: The Board Game''==

Red missiles are set to appear in ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]'' as projectiles. Unlike in the games, they ~~seem to~~ fly in a straight trajectory, without homing in on the players.

Red live missiles, known simply as missiles in this game, are set to appear in ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]'' as Level 1 projectiles. Unlike in the games, they fly in a straight trajectory, without homing in on the players.

Their projectile card has the following effects based on the die roll:

*1: All projectiles are moved to the first level.

*2: All enemies take 1 additional Slap to defeat THIS ROUND.

*3: Any player positioned directly above, below, to the left, or to the right of a projectiles takes damage.

*4: Players on an enemy’s space move back 1 space.

*5: All players on the first level move back 1 space.

*6: Defeated enemies do not give players Bonus tokens THIS ROUND.

==Trivia==

*The missiles could have possibly been inspired by [https://www.mariowiki.com/Bullet_Bill Bullet Bill] from the [https://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_(franchise) ''Super Mario'' franchise], as they are also living creatures which are quite similar.

*In some artwork, along with on the pop-up box and in the artbook from the collector's edition of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', [[hunter]]s are seen firing green and purple missiles, which do not appear in the final version of the game. The green missiles are reminiscent to the [[bullet]]s fired by the Hunters in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]].

**Additionally, [[:File:Origins enemy concept art 1.jpg|one artwork]] shows a red live missile with small legs and brown boots, a feature which did not make it into the final game.
