In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], 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 cages. In total, there are 102 cages 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: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', Rayman reverts to orbs of energy whenever he dies – Electoons are also beings of energy.
