'''Bzzit''' is a character who appears in a number of games in the ''Rayman'' series.  He is a giant mosquito, but despite this, he is much weaker than his stronger counterpart, [[Moskito]], who he is often mistaken for because he shares the same appearance and colours, pink and yellow, as him in most versions of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']].

Bzzit first appeared unnamed in the original ''Rayman'', where he was first encountered in [[Anguish Lagoon]].  Back then, he was the first mini-boss, but once he was defeated by [[Rayman]], he collapsed and started sobbing.  Rayman stopped his victory dance to comfort him, and they soon became friends fast, helping him cross the rest of the lagoon by offering a ride on his back.  In the Atari Jaguar version of the game, he could shoot balls of energy with his proboscis.

As a boss, Bzzit is always airborne, but has less than half of the health points Moskito has, making him less than half as resistant to Rayman's attacks and therefore weaker.  He attacks by swooping horizontally at Rayman, sometimes at his head level (where Rayman can hit him head on) or near the ground (he can hit him by throwing his magic fist and then ducking immediately); and by stinging him with his proboscis.  He also tries to dodge Rayman's attacks using his small wings, and every time he it hit, he flies high in the air and out of view for a brief moment before attacking.

===''Rayman 2''===
In the original version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', insects that strongly resembled Bzzit and [[Moskito]] make brief appearances in the [[Woods of Light]]. In the Sega Dreamcast version of ''Rayman 2'', these insects also appear in many other levels throughout the game. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' though, his appearance as a recurring character became more elaborate. He was first mentioned by the [[Teensie]]s at the [[Teensie Circle]], who told Rayman that he was being held prisoner in a forcefield (akin to the one [[Ly]] was held prisoner in at the [[Fairy Glade]]) in [[the Bayou]]. He was the only one who could ferry someone from [[the Pier]] to the [[Lost Island]] (the location of the [[Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] in [[Rayman Revolution|this version]]), so when [[Rayman]] saved him, Bzzit gladly offered him to hop into his boat and took him to the island in search of the first of [[Polokus]]'s [[Four Masks of Polokus|masks]].

In this game, Bzzit has four insect-like legs instead of floating hands and feet as he had in the previous game, and is noticeably smaller than before.

Bzzit may have also made an appearance in the ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' mini-game [[2-D Madness]], though it could also be Moskito (the adult version of Bzzit), as they have the same colours in most versions.
