'''Antitoons''', also known as '''Darktoons''', are small minion enemies who are encountered frequently throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. Their appearances are similar to those of the [[Electoon]]s, except that Antitoons are larger, dark blue in colour and with light blue (or white) ponytails. Antitoons are male, whereas [[Electoon]]s are female. The Antitoons make their most notable appearances in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'', it is revealed that they are the offspring of [[Jano]], [[Polokus]]'s [[First Bad Dream]]. | '''Antitoons''', also known as '''Darktoons''', are small minion enemies who are encountered frequently throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]].

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], Antitoons are small bodies of dark energy which began to proliferate after [[Mr Dark]] stole the [[Great Protoon]]. They are extremely common, appearing in each of the game's six worlds (a distinction they share with the [[hunter]]s). There are several types of Antitoons, each with a different behaviour. All of them are weak enemies which need only one hit from [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] to be defeated. Walking Antitoons are the most common of type. They freely wander on their platform, turning backwards when they face an obstacle. [[Rayman]] must simply avoid contact with them. Their small size makes them harder to hit, and [[Rayman]] often has to duck after [[Telescopic fist|punching]] so that his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] hits them on its way back to him. | In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], Antitoons are small bodies of dark energy which began to proliferate after [[Mr Dark]] stole the [[Great Protoon]].

''[[Rayman Junior]]'' and other educational [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]] feature red Antitoons. These invincible enemies can kill [[Rayman]] with a single touch, and are usually encountered immediately after the player gives a wrong answer. During the ending cutscene of ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', many reformed enemies appear, including [[hunter]]s and Antitoons. This suggests that Antitoons are not purely evil, and that they have the capacity to become good. | ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' and other educational [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]] feature red Antitoons.

In this version, the Antitoons appear in [[Spellbound Forest]], [[Airy Tunes]], [[Rainy Forest]], [[Rocky Peaks]], [[Ancient Forest]] and [[Arcane Forest]]. They can be encountered either patrolling, flying or jumping. A new type of Antitoon makes an appearance in the [[Rocky Peaks]], this type is covered in flames and will hop towards [[Rayman]] should they see him. Once defeated, they scatter into harmful sparks. | In this version, the Antitoons appear in [[Spellbound Forest (Rayman 1)|Spellbound Forest]], [[Airy Tunes]], [[Rainy Forest]], [[Rocky Peaks]], [[Ancient Forest]] and [[Arcane Forest]].

A [[giant Antitoon]] is encountered in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. It is the first boss in the game, and is encountered during the first playthrough of the [[Agony Jails]], which is both the first level of the game and one of the last. The [[giant Antitoon]] is purple in colour, and appears to be either partly or entirely mechanical. It is remotely controlled by an unusually intelligent [[Rabbid]] named [[Pink]], who refers to it as his 'new toy'. | A [[giant Antitoon]] is encountered in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']].

Antitoons make one of their most substantial appearances in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', where they are known as ''Darktoons'', and bear a more maniacal appearance, looking less like their [[Electoon]] counterparts. They are slightly larger in body mass, and no longer wear gloves or shoes. They now possess limbs, sharper teeth, and very large mouths which make up much of their bodies; their hair is now coloured white and red, and is in a mowhawk style as opposed to their original ponytails. They are less common than they were in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] and their only method of attacking is trying to bite the player whether they are on the ground or in the air, the ones on the ground however can only be defeated by a slam to the side and will not drop [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]].
