'''Piranhas''' are a type of flesh-eating fish enemy, named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha the real-life creature of the same name], that lurks in the murky waters of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. They can be found in all three major ''Rayman'' platformers, albeit with different behavioural patterns. | ''‘The Piranha is basically a pair of jaws with a bit of flesh around it. It's the only fish that really loves fishermen: not only do they sacrifice body and soul to feed the piranhas – they also supply the dental floss!’ —[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]] (official description)'' | ||
'''Piranhas''' are a type of flesh-eating fish enemy, named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha the real-life creature of the same name], that lurks in the murky waters of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. They can be found in all three major ''Rayman'' platformers, albeit with different behavioural patterns. They are notable for being one of the series's few consistently recurring elements. | |||

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], they are found only in [[Dream Forest]], and fly up from the water with their helicopter caudal fin. If Rayman touches them he loses a hit point, and if he's unlucky, he could be pushed into the water and lose a life. Rayman can defend himself from piranhas by punching or shooting them, which shatters their sharp teeth and then defeats them. A single punch can get rid of them. | In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], they are found only in [[the Dream Forest]], and fly up from the water with their helicopter caudal fin.

Two major kinds of piranhas live in those places: the small ones that devour Rayman when he falls into water, and the bigger ones that jump from water and try to bite him. A single energy ball can get rid of the second kind. In [[the Whale Bay]], Rayman must fight off piranhas who suffer from heartburn; these piranhas attempt to eat [[Carmen the Whale]]'s air bubbles, which Rayman needs to survive. | ||
