'''Electoons''', sometimes known simply as '''Toons''', are the stuff of [[Polokus]]'s dreams and the substance from which [[the Glade of Dreams]] was created. They feature in several games in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], most notably [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. They appear as small, pink, benevolent creatures with round bodies and ~~blonde~~ ponytails.

==Description==

[[File:RaymanSleep.PNG|frame|left|[[Rayman]] being cradled by a group of Electoons.]]

Electoons are composed of magical energy; together, hundreds of them revolve around [[the Great Protoon]]. The Electoons and [[the Great Protoon]] appear to balance and stabilise each other. Physically the Electoons resemble small pink balls with large eyes, blue shoes and, with the exception of their appearance in [[Rayman Mini]], ~~blonde~~ ponytails. When [[Mr Dark]] steals [[the Great Protoon]] at the very beginning of the game, the Electoons lose their natural stability and are scattered all over [[the valley]]. They are then captured and imprisoned in [[cage]]s by [[Mr Dark]]'s minions. More detail is given in [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version]], which explains that [[Mr Dark]] captured the Electoons in order to steal their energy and use it for himself.

Electoons express gratitude towards [[Rayman]] when he rescues them, as shown by the small heart icons that appear over their heads. The antithesis of Electoons are [[Antitoon]]s (also known as Darktoons) – malevolent, blue, more masculine creatures which are highly similar to them. [[Antitoon]]s are the stuff of nightmares, and are spawned by [[Jano]], a creature born of [[Polokus]]'s [[First Bad Dream]].

[[File:The_Dream_Forest.png|frame|left|class=sprite|An Electoon charging its [[telescopic fist]].]]

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], they are kept in [[cage]]s in groups of seven (or more in the Atari Jaguar version), and in each of the game's eighteen levels – excluding [[Mr Dark's Dare|the final one]] – there are six [[cage]]s. In total, there are 102 [[cage]]s throughout the game, all of which [[Rayman]] must break in order to enter the [[Candy Château]]. Whenever they are set free, they will cheer, show love for [[Rayman]], and walk on their own, often ending up falling into water. They can also use their hair as a [[helicopter]] like [[Rayman]] does. It is possible that [[Rayman]] is actually made up of Electoons, as when he dies, his body parts turn into Electoons which quickly shoot up in the sky. Further evidence for this can be found in the image used to represent [[the Dream Forest]], in which an Electoon can be seen charging up charging up its [[telescopic fist]] to ambush a [[Livingstone]], and [[Rayman (early production)|an early version of the game]], in which [[Rayman]] himself is represented by an Electoon on the world map. In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] reverts to orbs of energy whenever he dies – Electoons are also beings of energy.

==In ''[[Rayman Mini]]''==

Electoons make an appearance in the mobile game ''[[Rayman Mini]]'' as collectibles, which can only be received if the player manages to grab every [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lum]] in a level. Once obtained, Electoons can be used to get [[List of heroes and costumes in UbiArt games|outfits]] for [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], and, as of version 1.2.0, the [[Teensie]]s. Notably, the Electoons in this game do not have their ~~blonde~~ ponytails, a trait that is shared with the [[~~Darktoon~~]]s of this game.
