Eig: Difference between revisions - RayWiki, the Rayman wiki

Line 13:

In addition to the two regular eyes on the front of his face, Eig has two glowing orbs which reside on stalks protruding from the back of his head each with a glowing orb on its end; these are used to attract bait, like the lure of an [[anglerfish]]. The glowing orbs can often be seen peering out of the water when the rest of Eig is submerged.

Eig appeared in some concept artwork for ''[[Rayman 2]]'', but was not present in the original Nintendo 64 and PC releases of the game. He was most likely scrapped from these versions due to time constraints as he is mentioned in the game's code. However, Eig was restored in the Dreamcast version of the game, as well as the PlayStation 2 remake, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. An old model from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' has been found of what appears to be Eig ~~without fins and a~~ purple skin.

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', he can move very quickly through [[the Marshes of Awakening]] with nothing but his glowing orbs visible above the surface, as if he were using them to navigate. In this version he repeatedly speeds ahead of [[Rayman]] and [[Ssssam]] before rising out of the water and partially obstructing their path. While touching him causes [[Rayman]] to lose hold of [[Ssssam]]'s scarf and drown, it is unclear if Eig is actually attempting to hinder [[Rayman]]'s passage or if he is merely observing him.
