It was actually Spiraldoor's headcanon, in which I still feel it's the most believable theory to describe about the type of universe in constant transformation that Rayman belongs to.

It certainly makes the endless retcons and now-reboot make sense. It's not cause of anything nefarious, Polokus is just a hack writer dreamer!

We need to replace Polokus as the head writer of Rayman, or else we're never gonna get a sensical world here! I bet even Globox would make a better Bubble Dreamer.

Isn't that exactly what the main antagonist of Origins wanted to do? :confus:

Edit (since I accidentally hit the submit button before I could write this):

Here's the way I see it: Rayman was initially created by Betilla and the nymphs as the only member of his species. After he vanquished Jano, Polokus started having good dreams again. Some of them happened to be about Rayman, but sometimes he took on different appearances; in some dreams he was a leopard-skin-wearing yodeler, other times he was a hairy caveman-like character, and once he was even a werewolf! Seeing as his dreams become reality, these characters were created through his dreams and popped into the Glade as their own beings, hence why Tarayzan, Raymolk, and Raywolf exist, just to name a few. I'd imagine that's how all of the other Raypeople came into existence, along with most of the other UbiArt heroes/skins. :hap:

In the scrapped script, sure, but in the final game he seems much more interested in playing Just Dance with his robots! :fou:
