They first appear in ''[[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|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 group of Zombie Chickens distracted them, causing them to lose a sack of [[Lum]]s that they were carrying— as a result, [[Rayman]] was made without limbs. | ||

Zombie Chickens only appear in the tunnels of [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], where they will spawn from the ground or walls, and will threateningly move toward [[Rayman]]. Unlike in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', they circle around [[Rayman]] before moving in to make damaging contact with him. Some spawn when [[Rayman]] picks up their eggs, and it will be necessary for [[Rayman]] to put down the egg and deal with the Zombie Chickens in order to slowly progress through to a pressure [[switch]], which will remain open once an egg has been placed upon it. | Zombie Chickens only appear in the tunnels of [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], where they will spawn from the ground or walls, and will threateningly move toward [[Rayman]].

While they do not make an appearance in the final product, the manual refers to Zombie Chickens as being the cause of [[Rayman]]'s lack of limbs, due to them distracting the [[nymph]]s and causing them to lose some of the [[Lum]]s they had gathered in order to create [[Rayman]]. | While they do not make an appearance in the final product, the manual refers to Zombie Chickens as being the cause of [[Rayman]]'s lack of limbs, due to them distracting the [[nymph]]s and causing them to lose some of the [[Lum]]s they had gathered in order to create [[Rayman]]. | ||

It is possible that the hens were terrified by something else, like the events of the [[First Bad Dream]], and thus created Zombie Chickens before the [[Robo-Pirate]] invasion. | ||
A Zombie Chicken was also featured in one edition of ''[[the Daily Bubble]]''. Additionally, one can be seen in a map for the unused level [[Don't Shoot the Dead]], and one can be seen in the front cover of the game. | A Zombie Chicken was also featured in one edition of ''[[the Daily Bubble]]''.
