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.

During Moskito's battle in the Sega Saturn and PlayStation versions, and both in the pursuit and Moskito's battle in the Atari Jaguar, Moskito is red with pink gloves, and a grey proboscis, shoes and stripes.
