The Shadow Creatures is a name for two enemies that spawn throughout the game.

Variation of the Species

The first type of Shadow Creature that Rayman will encounter, is the smaller ones, resembling a black, furry head with small white eyes. They have one form of attack, where they fly towards Rayman, in a certain amount of time, before colapsing and disappearing. If they succeed to hit Rayman, he will lose a small amount of health and the Shadow Creature will die at the impact. They can be heard before being seen, as they produce a a sound, similar to the a fly. However, they can be trouble, since they mostly appear at places where Rayman is either dangling or flying, making a single hit a possible death, considering there will be deadly water, lava or far heights if Rayman loses his grip.

The other type of Shadow Creatures, has a very different act, but looks rather similar to the smaller Shadow Creatures. The Big creatures are long, wormlike creatures, made from a line of the smaller Shadow Creatures, yet only the front ball has eyes. They often move in packs, having a sertain route where they snake themsalves around. they either jump from obsticle to obsticle or move at the at the ground. They attack Rayman by jumping on him, and does not die at the impact. They can also be hard to kill, as they move alot and can be hard to shit. Similar to the Walking Shells, some have respawn areas, which makes them an enemy that takes its time to defeat.

Where to Find Them

The first Shadow Creatures to be encountered, is found in The Fairy Glade, at the small crater where Rayman has to climb a large tree and slide down a waterfall. However, many people never really see them, as it is possible to skip the combat. They can also be found later on in the Fairy Glade, at the second visit through the Echoing Caves and in the Cave of Bad Dreams/the Kingdom of the Dead (PS1 version), the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire, the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava, Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava and Tomb of the Ancients.

Origin and Leader

In Rayman 2: Revolution, there is a miniboss called Chenille, which appears in the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava/Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava (PS2 version). It resembles Shadow Creature, only red and splits into smaller Shadow Creatures when shot at. It is suggested that Chenille may be the Shadow Creatures leader, but such has never been confirmed. Their origin is unknown, however many believe that they are one of the outcomes of Polukus' nighmares. Others believe that they are leftover spawns of Mr Dark's evil. It is not easy to tell, since no information is given throughout the game or game manual.
