'''Eig''', also known as '''the Swamp Monster''', is a mysterious creature from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''~~. He is confused with [[Jano]], the Guardian of [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], but is actually a different character~~. According to [[the Knowledge of the World]], he is a creation of [[Polokus]], and he spends his time getting drunk on the fermented swamp-waters of [[the Marshes of Awakening]].

'''Eig''', also known as '''the Swamp Monster''', is a mysterious four-eyed, green-skinned aquatic creature from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. According to [[the Knowledge of the World]], he is a creation of [[Polokus]], and he spends his time getting drunk on the fermented swamp-waters of [[the Marshes of Awakening]]. Eig appeared in some concept artwork for ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', but not in the original N64 and PC releases of the game. He may have been scrapped from these versions due to time constraints. However, Eig was restored in the Dreamcast version of the game, as well as the PlayStation 2 remake, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', ~~Eig distinctly appears when traveling across~~ [[the Marshes of Awakening]]. ~~While~~ he ~~seems to follow~~ [[Rayman]] and [[Sssssam]]~~, he is quite pacific~~ and ~~doesn't attack them~~. ~~Although contact with Eig will cause [[~~Rayman]] to lose ~~his~~ hold ~~on [[~~Sssssam]] and ~~fall into the swamp-water~~, it is unclear ~~whether or not this~~ is ~~Eig~~'s ~~intention~~.

Eig has four eyes; two are normal-looking eyes and are part of his face, while the other two are glowing and reside on stalks protruding from the back of his head. The glowing eyes can often be seen peering out of the water when the rest of Eig is submerged. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', he can move very quickly through [[the Marshes of Awakening]] with nothing but his glowing eyes visible above the surface. In this version he repeatedly speeds ahead of [[Rayman]] and [[Sssssam]] before rising out of the water and partially obstructing their path. While touching him causes Rayman to lose hold of Sssssam's scarf and drown, it is unclear if Eig is actually attempting to hinder Rayman's passage or is merely observing him.

In the Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', Eig can be seen for a split second as [[Rayman]] enters the second area of [[the Marshes of Awakening]], and he sometimes appears in the swampy area near the beginning of [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]. ~~His~~ eyes can be seen as [[Rayman]] [[helicopter]]s down to the next area after collecting the level's second [[Green Lum]]. Eig then rises out of the water, and Rayman can approach him by walking across the branch which floats on the swamp. ~~When~~ Rayman gets ~~enough~~ to Eig, blue sparkles similar to those produced by [[Magic Spiral Door]]s appear.

When Eig does appear here, his luminous eyes can be seen rising out of the swamp water on their stalks as [[Rayman]] [[helicopter]]s down to the next area after collecting the level's second [[Green Lum]]. Eig then rises out of the water, and Rayman can approach him by walking across the branch which floats on the swamp. It is possible for Rayman to jump and helicopter forwards into Eig's mouth; as Rayman enters his mouth, he gets wafted up slightly as if by an [[air current]]. This allows him to hover in the mouth for longer than would normally be possible. As Rayman continues to helicopter inside Eig's mouth, blue sparkles similar to those produced by [[Magic Spiral Door]]s appear. They seem to be rushing towards Rayman from all directions. Then Eig closes his mouth and sinks back into the water, presumably swallowing Rayman. It is unclear if the blue sparks are intentional on the part of the developers, or the result of some kind of strange glitch.
