Fish: Difference between revisions

[[Fish (Eat at Joe's)|Three more varieties of fish]] appear in [[Eat at Joe's]], a level in [[the Caves of Skops]], the fifth of [[Rayman 1|the game]]'s six worlds. Each of these three varieties of fish bears an exaggerated facial feature: [[Large-nosed fish|one type has an oversized nose]], with which it aids [[Rayman]] by nudging buoyant platforms through the water; [[Large-eyed fish|another type has oversized eyes]], with which it passively observes the action; and [[Large-mouthed fish|another type has an oversized mouth and teeth]], with which it attacks [[Rayman]]. [[Fish (Eat at Joe's)|These varieties]] appear only in the final part of the level, and are not found anywhere else.

The large [[piranha]]s return once more in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', although these ones have mechanical jaws similar to bear-traps. At one point in the [[Clearleaf Forest]], [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] must ascend a rushing waterfall whilst being pursued by them. The same type of [[piranha]] is encountered again in [[the Bog of Murk]], where they can be [[Telescopic fist|punched]] and defeated by [[Rayman]].

Another type of fish is encountered in the underwater section of [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]]. These fish [[Swimming|swim]] passively about and do not react to [[Rayman]]'s presence. Additionally, [[Céloche]], the giant tripod boss of the world, releases a massive metallic fish at the start of the battle; it is this device that deploys the homing missiles that can defeat the boss. Similar metal fish can be found in [[the Summit Beyond the Clouds]], specifically in [[the Looming Sea]] segment. These giant fish are attacking the boat [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] are using to get to [[André]]'s [[Hoodlum Headquarters|secret hideout]]. Once the summit comes into view, the fish stop attacking.

Many types of fish can be seen in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', most of them being enemies from the [[Sea of Serendipity]], such [[Blowfish]]es, [[spiky fish]]es and [[Redfish]]es. In the deeper areas, the [[luminous fish]]es and the [[Anglerfish]]es have the ability to illuminate the heroes' path and help him to avoid the dangerous attacks of the [[tentacle claw]]s. Big groups of benevolent, colourful shoals of fish can be seen in certain areas; these harmless creatures don't damage the heroes, and will swim away from the player. Due to their bright colouration and large numbers, they may cover the screen and confuse the player. They can also camouflage groups of [[Redfish]], [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] or even secret rooms with [[Electoon]] [[cages]]. Although the traditional [[piranha]] from the previous games was intended to make a return in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', it was [[Rayman Origins (early production)|scrapped before the release of the game]]. Instead, a [[Baby Piranhas|smaller subspecies of piranha]] can be seen in [[Gourmand Land]].

In some worlds of ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', especially the [[Fiesta de los Muertos]], piles of fish bones can be seen in many levels, suggesting that many marine creatures were killed by [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer's]] nightmares during the century that preceded the awakening of [[Rayman]] and his friends.

Much like in some of the swamp infested waters of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', fish bones can be seen piled up in various areas throughout the game, acting as static barriers that require breaking with an attack to progress.

Fish can also be seen in [[Toad Story]] as background decoration. However, in the Wii U version of the game, [[Murfy]] can attack them for bonus [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]]. The same multicolor fishes from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' can be seen throughout [[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]], where they can be seen in the background.
