The arrival of the pirates had many sinister consequences: disturbances in overall harmony; the proliferation of piranhas, giant spiders and caterpillars; etc. Terrified by all these events, the hens began laying dead eggs, out of which burst the horrible Zombie Chickens.

Zombie Chickens are enemies first found in the gloomier parts of the Glade of Dreams. They first appear in Rayman 2, where it is said that they are the result of hens laying dead eggs out of terror at the events caused by the Robo-Pirates. They can also be seen in the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman 3 and very briefly in the console versions. Ghostly, spirit-like versions can also be seen floating around levels in Rayman M and its remakes.

It seems that the Knaaren eat Zombie Chicken eggs; several vending machines in the Desert of the Knaaren contain them, and they are guarded fiercely by Zombie Chicken spirits.

They appear in the swamp levels of Rayman 2, where they rise from the ground or swamp water and float towards Rayman to attack him. They reappear with similar behaviour in the portable versions of Rayman 2 and Rayman 3.

In Rayman 3, it is revealed that the Knaaren are fond of Zombie Chicken eggs; many vending machines containing them are found in the Desert of the Knaaren. It is necessary for Rayman to pick up these eggs and place them on certain platforms to open doors; however, ghostly Zombie Chickens appear and harrass Rayman if he attempts to move their eggs. They have their own frantic, frightening-sounding theme in this game.

It is unknown whether the Zombie Chickens have any connection to the Denys or the Minisauruses, other chicken-like creatures found in the Glade of Dreams.

Zombie Chickens have slightly deformed chicken beaks with cartoony eyes and grey-brown feathers on their heads. They wear long, ripped, brown cloaks and their arms look like human skeleton ones that are bent in a haunting way.
