Rayman

“	Combat fatigues! That's exactly what we need! You're right!	„

“	Of all the inhabitants here, you are the only one whom Polokus did not dream. You are the only one to receive powers from the fairies. Some see you as the chosen one of all the gods. Who knows...?	„

Rayman (French pronunciation: [ʁemɑn]) is the titular protagonist of Ubisoft's video game series of the same name. He was created by French game designer Michel Ancel, who thought that games needed a character who can perfectly connect with players. Due to technical issues during the development of Rayman (1995), Rayman's body is distinctively limbless, with his head, hands and feet invisibly linked to his torso.

Rayman's signature abilities are throwing his fists as projectiles to attack enemies and spinning his hair like a helicopter rotor to slow his descent. He uses his abilities to rescue the inhabitants of the Glade of Dreams from evil forces. Rayman is accompanied on his adventures by his best friend Globox, the Teensies, Barbara and other supporting characters. In most of his appearances, Rayman is depicted as fun-loving and humorous.

Since his debut title, Rayman has become one of Ubisoft's most recognizable characters. Critics have praised Rayman for his limbless and wacky nature and the character has since gained a cult following. After being overshadowed in popularity by the Rabbids, Rayman returned to the series as a playable character in an expansion pack for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope (2022). Rayman also appeared as a supporting character in Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix (2023).
