[[Image:Eig_Dreamcast_sparks.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Mysterious blue sparks congregate around Eig as Rayman approaches 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]] (though it is unknown how to make him appear, or if the player's actions even have anything to do with it). When Eig does appear here, his luminous orbs 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]]. If Rayman approaches to investigate these glowing lights, Eig rises out of the water, as if the orbs were being used as bait to attract prey. 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 [[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.

In an alternate model that never made it into the game, Eig is portrayed withouth fins and with a skin similar to that of [[Carmen]]. This model was probably cancelled due to it's similair look to [[Carmen the Whale]].

A creature which appears to be Eig can be seen in an edition of ''[[The Daily Bubble]]'', the online newspaper promoting ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. However, this character does not appear in the final version of the game.
