Jano does not appear in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but the game's manual and official website discuss him, and reveal some important information about his backstory. Jano was the [[First Bad Dream]] of [[Polokus]]; it was Jano's nightmarish birth that signalled the introduction of imbalance into [[the Glade of Dreams]]. When he was created, Jano began to spawn [[Antitoons|Darktoons]], the stuff of nightmares and the warped opposites of the [[Electoon]]s. In response to Jano and his Darktoon infestation, [[Betilla the Fairy]] and the other [[nymph]]s joined forces to create a hero who could restore balance to the world: [[Rayman]]. It seems that, on his very first adventure, the young Rayman put a stop to Jano's invasion, and the monster was forced to become the Guardian of [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]].

==Trivia==
* Jano's name is never spoken in dialogue during Rayman 2, the manual refers to him only as "The Guardian of the cave of Bad Dreams". His name can be learned from the GBA version of Rayman 3 or the manuel of Rayman Origins.
*Despite Jano apparently being the reason for Rayman's creation and the assertion that they have fought before, the two do not appear to recognise each other in Rayman 2. In fact, if it was his defeat at the hands of Rayman that caused Jano to become the guardian of the Cave of Bad Dreams, one might question why Rayman does not know the name of the cave at the start of the game.
