It is unknown whether they have any connection to the [[Squab]]s, another species of caterpillar found in [[the Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]], or to the [[popolopoï‎]] or the [[tribelle]]s, two species of butterfly native to the Glade of Dreams.

==Description==

~~Mosquitoes~~ are Nightmares of [[Polokus]].

Caterpillars are Nightmares of [[Polokus]]. Two distinct types of caterpillar are known to exist: The small ones and the [[Caterpillar|big ones]].

~~They~~ appear as small, round puffs of darkness, with malevolent-looking white eyes. They are constantly in flight, but never more than a short way above the ground. They can be heard before being seen, as they produce a high-pitched buzzing noise, similar to that of a fly or ~~[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito their real-world counterparts]~~.

Baby caterpillars appear as small, round puffs of darkness, with malevolent-looking white eyes. They are constantly in flight, but never more than a short way above the ground. They can be heard before being seen, as they produce a high-pitched buzzing noise, similar to that of a fly or a mosquito.

~~Mosquitoes~~ always move in swarms. They attack by flying directly towards [[Rayman]]. If ~~a mosquito~~ succeeds in hitting him, the hero will lose a small amount of health and the ~~mosquito~~ will die upon impact. However, their tendency to appear in precarious places (such as above water or lava) can make them very dangerous for [[Rayman]], as their weak attacks are still enough to make him lose his balance.

[[Rayman]] confronts them in [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]] and [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]. They also appear in the secret area of [[the Fairy Glade]] that is accessed through [[the Echoing Caves]].

[[File:BossChenille.JPG|thumb|320px|[[Boss Chenille]].]]

In the PlayStation 2 remake of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', a new boss named [[Boss Chenille]] is introduced. It looks just like a normal [[caterpillar]], but with some significant differences: whereas they are a purplish-black in colour, [[Boss Chenille]] is blood-red; [[Boss Chenille]] is also somewhat larger, and it eyes are identical to the ~~mosquitoes~~' ones.

It looks just like a normal [[caterpillar]], but with some significant differences: whereas they are a purplish-black in colour, [[Boss Chenille]] is blood-red; [[Boss Chenille]] is also somewhat larger, and it eyes are identical to the baby caterpillars' ones.

[[Boss Chenille]] is found in a room in [[The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Sanctuary of Lava]]. It is summoned by [[Rayman]] performing a [[Rain Mask|rain dance]] on what looks like a greyish version of one of the [[Magic Sphere]]s' bases. When this is done, it emits a beam of light towards another such base. When [[Rayman]] [[Magic fist|shoots]] it, it too emits a beam of light towards another base. After shooting several more bases, the beam of light has finished its circumnavigation of the chamber; a door opens, and [[Boss Chenille]] enters.

When [[Rayman]] strikes [[Boss Chenille]] with his [[magic fist]], a red ~~mosquito~~ splits away from its body. When the hero shoots ~~him~~, he splits into five black ~~mosquitoes~~. When they are killed, [[Boss Chenille]]'s health meter decreases. As the battle wears on, the segments of [[Boss Chenille]]'s body slowly disappear; by the end, it resembles an enormous red version of one of the ~~mosquitoes~~. When this final form is defeated, [[Boss Chenille]] vanishes for good.

As the battle wears on, the segments of [[Boss Chenille]]'s body slowly disappear; by the end, it resembles an enormous red version of one of the baby caterpillars. When this final form is defeated, [[Boss Chenille]] vanishes for good.

The first clue as to Boss Chenille's identity is its name; ''Chenille'' is the French word for ''Caterpillar'', while the name ''Boss'' implies that it may possibly be a leader. And during the battle, [[Boss Chenille]] spawns ~~mosquitoes~~ from its body. All of this led to speculation that [[Boss Chenille]] may be the progenitor or ‘mother’ of the [[caterpillar]] ~~and mosquito~~ species, in addition to the speculation that it is their leader.
