'''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 lurk in the murky waters of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. They can be found in all three major ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' platformers, albeit with different behavioural patterns. They are notable for being one of the [[Rayman (series)|series]]' few consistently recurring elements.

==In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''==
==In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and its spin-offs==
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.  If Rayman touches them he loses a hit point, and depending on his position, he can be knocked backwards into the water and lose a [[life]]. Rayman can defend himself from piranhas by punching them with his [[telescopic fist]], which shatters their sharp teeth and defeats them for a short period, until they come back. Only a single punch is required.

Piranhas were intended to make a return in Rayman Origins, but they were scrapped. Artwork of the game depicts the piranha as a fish with a gigantic mouth and enormous teeth, with blue-orange skin and red eyes.  Their attack pattern is unknown, since there's no in-game video showing them; however, some pieces of artwork depict a piranha with broken teeth, suggesting that the way to defeat it was similar to the piranhas from previous games. The only in-game reference to the piranhas is an icon of the achievement/trophy "Survivor!" in which it can be seen  (Only Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 version). Like the [[Soldier]], the Piranha has it's own description and artwork on the launch site of Rayman Origins without appearing in the game. However, smaller variants of the species, called [[Baby Piranhas]], made an appearance.
