Forest dragons are major enemies in Teensies In Trouble, the first world of Rayman Legends. They are the companions of Lividstones, and a large one named Grunderbite is the boss of this world.

They play a similar role to the dragons from Olympus Maximus.

Description

Forest dragons have yellow eyes, and sport four small limbs. They have short, stubby tails with three spikes on the end, and small, wobbly wings. They also wear spiked collars on their necks. They are inspired by the dragons of European mythology.

Appearances

Rayman Legends

In Rayman Legends, forest dragons first appear in the opening sequence of Once upon a Time, where they are seen raiding the forest alongside the Lividstones and carrying cages with Teensies inside them.

The heroes first encounter them in How to Shoot your Dragon. One can be seen in the background of the first section, possibly foreshadowing their appearance. Later on, after being called on by a Dark Teensy, multiple forest dragons, breathing fire at the heroes. They can be defeated with a single Flying Punch or, in the Wii U, PlayStation Vita, and Switch versions, with one of the flaming rocks fired by Murfy’s slingshot. Another one appears in the level’s invaded counterpart, albeit in the background. A large, purple forest dragon appears in Castle Rock and its 8-bit counterpart, once again breathing fire at the heroes. This one cannot be defeated, despite multiple forest dragons being present among a pile of defeated enemies at the end of the level.

Brawlhalla

The Teensies are in trouble!

—In-game description, Brawlhalla

A dragon of this species was initially supposed to be added as a sidekick in the fighting game Brawlhalla, as part of the "Rayman Crossover" event, but it was removed from the game files before the start of the event. Later it was repurposed for the "Epic Rayman" event in patch 9.11, being added to the game as its own sidekick with its current name, "Forest Dragon." The sidekick can purchased at 80 Mammoth Coins to be useable in online matchmaking.

Rayman Legends Retold

Forest dragons return in Rayman Legends Retold, reprising their roles as enemies in levels such as Castle Rock. However, when fed the Bubble Dreamer's calming biscuits, they become docile enough for the heroes to ride, making them playable in their own designated levels. In these levels, the dragons transport the heroes to the next world while carrying a number of Teensy prisoners. They function similarly to the giant mosquitoes from Rayman Origins, able to fly freely and shoot fireballs from their mouths. Additionally, they can perform barrel rolls to avoid obstacles.
