Rayman Headcanons

[Haruka]

You're talking to a Worms player for as many years as Rayman.

[Shrooblord]

Oh hell yes. The worms series was one of my first.

In the Glade of Dreams, blowing bubbles is the equivalent to smoking pot.

I think they still have pot there.

Not as strong of a high as bubbles though!

Okay, hell with it. Everything in the Glade of Dreams makes you high. Even just living there makes you high.

It really depends on what mood Polokus is in. Everyone seems more level-headed in Rayman 2 and 3, but in Origins and Legends he's feeling zanier, and the entire world changes to reflect that.

I can't remember when I came up with it, but I have the headcanon that the super helicopter potion was made for electoons. Electoons can fly using their hair like a helicopter, which is an ability Rayman possesses to some extent also because he is unique and has some kind of connection with the electoons. The super helicopter potion exists because sometimes electoons get into accidents or get illnesses that make them unable to fly with their hair, so the potion gives them their flight back. The Musician happens to know how to make such a potion and he gave one to Rayman because he was quite sure Rayman would be able to use it. The potion would have no affect on anyone else who isn't an electoon.

[Shrooblord]

Interesting. So you're saying that Rayman, in essence, is an Electoon himself? Makes sense as he always falls apart into Electoons on death.

[THEdragon]

Yes. Or perhaps that six electoons 'became' him during his creation. It was six, right? I can't really remember.

[Shrooblord]

Head, two hands, two feet, body - six!

[THEdragon]

That's what I was thinking to. but when he dies, does he erupt into six electoons? That's what I have trouble recalling...

[Shrooblord]

Hrrrrm good ask! I believe he does...

[THEdragon]

The animation whizzes by pretty quick. But anyway, yeah, there's also that image where Rayman and an electoon are both charging a fist power while doing a hushing gesture together. That's cute.

[Bradandez]

Headcanon time!

Rayman gets mad when his height is being made fun of. Especially when it's friends (Globox and Barbara are way taller than him) who are teasing him about it.

[THEdragon]

Ah, that's a good one! Someone on Tumblr once said something along the lines of "You can make fun of Rayman for being short, but remember he was taller than most adults of his species when he was 10 years old"

[Shrooblord]

I can see that happening. He is kind of compensating with that hairdo he's got going on.

[THEdragon]

He was rockin' that 90's hair.

But yeah, I can imagine Rayman discovering teensies and thinking to himself "Finally, a species shorter and bigger-nosed than my own!"

[Bradandez]

Oh Polokus! That would be hilarious!

[Shrooblord]

Hah, Rayman's an arrogant prick!

[Bradandez]

My personal personality for Rayman is that he has a big ego but yet, he has a big heart.

[THEdragon]

I can imagine Rayman being a bit quiet about the other limbless back at the Valley, just to maintain his 'aura of mystery'. He doesn't exactly keep them an absolute secret, but if someone said "Wow, I've never seen a person like you before, you're so unique!" He'd sooner react with "Yeah I know right?" than "Well actually, back on an island I used to live on..."
