This may be random but, how do you think Rayman eats? Does he have a stomach inside his head? Or does he have a portal inside his neck that transports food to his stomach? He is one fascinating being :confus:

One answer. He is Rayman. What is to be expected. He can do anything.

OF COURSE! *cue M. Bison turning around from screen towards audience*

IT WAS SO OBVIOUS! Rayman is the Batman of the video game world!

Alucard is the Batman of the anime world, Deathstroke is the Batman of the villain world, and Rayman is the Batman of the video game world!

No, silly. Batman is the Batman of the comic world.

Wrong! Batman is the Batman of the Batman world.

Or maybe Batman is the Batman of the world itself?

Rayman Advance made a brief appearance as one of the clips for this DYK:


Other than that, standard DYK stuff, interesting as ever.

I've always wondered if people ever speculated a name for his race, has this been discussed in the forums yet?
I know he's possibly not even a race but I myself can't even get his origin in my mind, it's too hazy for me at the moment.

That has been discussed several times. Origins kinda contributed for a confusion with the "Tingamajig" term, especially for non-English natives who didn't know that it was a word that exists for real and it is in the English dictionary. While there's no official definition for Rayman's species, I personally name it (warning, as a fan-term), as a "Limbless".

I say "limbless being" or "member of Rayman's species".

Meh, I don't think I default to any one term, I guess I'd just go with "Rayman's species." As bland as it sounds. I remember people used to call them "Raymanians" or "Rayians" in days old, always did wonder what came of that habit.

I call his sort Raypeople and that makes Rayman a Rayperson, although his case specifically is a bit fickle, since he is Rayman, as in, the Rayman.

I tend to avoid calling naming the species 'limbless', as it seems in Rayman 1 that there are many more limbless species than just Rayman's.

I call them "Raythingies" because I can't think of a better name for them. In my upcoming fangame, however, they won't really go by any name and will only be referred to as "the limbless ones".
