When Moskito is first encountered, he chases [[Rayman]] with a giant [[spiky fruit]]. During the battle, he attacks [[Rayman]] by trying to poke him with his proboscis and uses [[spiky fruit]]s of various sizes to attack. With precise timing, it is possible to hit him twice per turn, before he flies up and away after the first hit. | When Moskito is first encountered, he chases [[Rayman]] with a giant [[spiky fruit]].

It is thought that all instances in which Moskito shares [[Bzzit]]'s colouration are mistakes or problem arising from hardware limitations; Moskito's ‘true’ colour is believed to be red, not pink. The versions of the game in which Moskito appears to have Bzzit's colours have led to great confusion and debate amongst players regarding the identities of the two [[mosquito|mosquitoes]]. | It is thought that all instances in which Moskito shares [[Bzzit]]'s colouration are mistakes or problem arising from hardware limitations; Moskito's ‘true’ colour is believed to be red, not pink.
