'''Psychlops''' are bat-winged creatures with one eye, sharp teeth, and spiky skin which appear in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', and ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]''.


'''Psychlops''' are bat-winged creatures with one eye, sharp teeth, and spiky skin which appear in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', along with its spin-off ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', and also in the [[Back to Origins]] painting in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. They are very similar to [[Black Lum]]s. They are either found sleeping or bouncing in one place when encountered by the heroes. If the heroes get too close to a Psychlops, they will be bubblized by its spikes. They seem to have an alliance with the [[Antitoon|Darktoon]]s and the [[Livid Dead]], since they are with them in the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of The Livid Dead]] in the opening cutscene of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.
==Description==
Psychlops are very similar to [[Black Lum]]s. They have dark blue skin, and two bat-like wings. Their mouth is large with fangs, and they only have one eye.  


Psychlops are also called "Janod" in reference to the surname of the person who designed them.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 3 - Rayman 2 : The Great Escape, or the challenge of the 3D</ref>
==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]''==
Psychlops are encountered very early in the game, being the very first enemy the heroes encounter. They are either found sleeping or bouncing in one place when encountered by the heroes. If the heroes get too close to a Psychlops without quickly attacking it, it will deploy its spikes; if this happens, the heroes will need to move away until they retract their spikes, otherwise they can't be defeated and the heroes will get hurt. Unless they have been startled and are protruding their spikes, their eye is always half closed. They seem to have an alliance with the [[Antitoon|Darktoon]]s and the [[Livid Dead]], since they are with them in the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of The Livid Dead]] in the opening cutscene of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. They appear in the [[Jibberish Jungle]], [[Gourmand Land]], the [[Sea of Serendipity]], [[Mystical Pique]], and [[Luscious Lakes]].
 
Psychlops can not be inhaled and swallowed by a [[mosquito]], as the spikes will hurt the heroes.
 
In [[Polar Pursuit]], the heroes will encounter eleven psychlops which are flying; if the heroes managed to bounce on each one in succession without hitting the water, the player will unlock the [[Boing! Boing! Boing!]] achievement / trophy if they are playing on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 / PlayStation Vita.
