In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], 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 [[cage]]s. In total, there are 102 [[cage]]s 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]]'', [[Rayman]] reverts to orbs of energy whenever he dies – Electoons are also beings of energy.

In this version of the game, they are called ‘Toons’ rather than ‘Electoons’. There are thirty-eight [[cage]]s of Toons in total.

The Electoons return in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In this game, Electoons not only are the creatures that connect the different areas within [[the Glade of Dreams]], but also are the stuff of dreams, the only magical source able to keep [[Polokus]] in peace and serenity, stopping him from creating nightmares.

After [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Polokus]] and some [[Teensie]]s wake an old [[Granny]] with their obnoxious snoring, they get captured as well as some Electoons. With [[Polokus]] turning out of his mind, [[Rayman]] and his friends venture in the search for Electoons. In-game, there are [[cage]]s in secret areas and at the end of each level. Some of the secret areas can be easily found if the player listens to the Electoons' constant cries for help. The player can also free more Electoons by collecting a certain amount of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] and giving them to [[the Magician]]. Collecting enough Electoons will unlock new characters back at [[the Snoring Tree]] and give access to both boss battles and [[Tricky Treasure]] levels.

Electoons make an appearance in the mobile game ''[[Rayman Mini]]'' as collectibles, which can only be received if the player manages to grab every [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lum]] in a level. Once obtained, Electoons can be used to buy [[List of heroes and costumes in UbiArt games|outfits]] for [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and [[Barbara]].
