Eig is a very mysterious character from Rayman 2, also known as the Swamp Monster. He is sometimes mistaken for Jano, the Guardian of the Cave of Bad Dreams, but he is actually a different character. All that is known about him is that he is a creation of Polokus, who spends his time getting drunk on the fermented swamp-waters of the Marshes of Awakening.

Eig in the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2

In Rayman Revolution, Eig distinctly appears when traveling across the Marshes of Awakening. While he seems to follow Rayman and Sssssam, he is quite pacific and doesn't attack them. Although contact with Eig will cause Rayman to lose his hold on Sssssam and fall into the swamp-water, it is unclear whether or not this is Eig's intention. In the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2, Eig can be seen for a split second as Rayman enters the second area of the Marshes of Awakening, and he sometimes appears in the swampy area near the beginning of the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava, though this is very rare, and it is unknown what causes him to appear there.
