Funnel

Funnels are creatures who inhabit the Gourmand Land in Rayman Origins. When the heroes free Edith Up, she grants them the ability to change size. However, to use this ability the heroes require the help of Funnels or funnel-shaped tunnels. If characters jump into a Funnel's mouth, they will be quickly pushed by the Funnel's airstreams and shot into the air with a different size. When smaller, characters can reach smaller areas impossible to access with a bigger size, and can do a dash attack, which they can use to attack enemies or boost themselves. If done correctly, players can scale a wall by doing constant walljumps and dash attacks; this is can be useful to avoid falling into a cliff.

Funnels' fly-like wings, squinting eyes and their ability to change Rayman's size make them highly resemble the Flying Blue Elves from Rayman 1. They also behave much like Pencil sharpeners seen in the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman Raving Rabbids.
