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.

When [[Rayman]] strikes [[Boss Chenille]] with his [[magic fist]], a red baby caterpillar splits away from its body. When the hero shoots it, it splits into five black baby caterpillars. 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 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 baby caterpillars from its body. All of this led to speculation that [[Boss Chenille]] may be the progenitor or ‘mother’ of the [[caterpillar]] species, in addition to the speculation that it is their leader.
