Made some art based on this below excerpt from Chapter 1: Creation. More art to come when I'm more motivated!
"Rayman carefully breathed as he slept, his tiny floating hands against the sides of his face. He barely squirmed within the confines of the blanket, only to shift a bit for a moment before returning to sleep.
Betilla gently set him down onto her bed, since she didn't have an appropriate cradle to put him into at the moment. She'll make one when she has the time, when her brain stops racing. She was so panicked that she often checked on Rayman to make sure he was still breathing through the entire night, as his birth was eventful and he was so small in her hand. She gave yet another pathetic smile as she sat right next to her new son, as the nightmare was nearly over. She couldn't wait to teach him to smile and laugh. To find joy in the world he now lives in. The hope that he will find whimsy and wonder in the Glade of Dreams."

Oh I absolutely love that headcanon. It makes perfect sense for how he eventually grows into his classic R1 design.
Thank you so much!! I can deffo agree that it makes sense for sure!! Like his lil fronds of hair sprout like a leaf
That Ssssam plush is absolutely adorable! I love his little red bandana and how squishable he looks. Now I'm just sad this isn't real merch because I would buy one in a heartbeat!
And don't worry about chapter 9, take all the time you need!

I genuinely wish that it was real, I'd 100% buy it and then give him a lot of snuggles qwq He's such an underrated character in Rayman 2. Thank you so much!! <3
