Me too, I just liked it better when he was actually part of a species. XD

I agree. Well, he wasn't dreamed up by Polokus but the nymphs created him.

Still following along that lines that rayman is part of speices. Does the fact that he was created by the nymphs, mean that Tarazan was also?

Edit: What if Tarazan was like Dark Rayman? Not so much an alter-ego, but connected to rayman in some way?

Edit: What if he was like test subject? Like, the nymphs experimented when making him? So they could get Rayman exactly right?

This was never confirmed, it was only in the 2010 original trailer, in which most things from it were scrapped.

Website Description:
Rayman
Our Hero!
When the Creator had his very first bad dream, the nymphs gathered to invoke a being of light capable of saving our world: a creature both agile and carefree, as tenacious as he is hilarious, destined to crack up the Creator with his heroic antics and stop the nightmare!

Unfortunately, although not surprisingly, our bedazzling and bodacious nymphs were distracted by some zombie chickens on their way to the sacred snoring grounds of the Bubble Dreamer, and they lost a sack of lums chasing the crazy creatures over a cliff. Thus, they arrived late and with a lot less illumination.

In the end, Rayman was born with a few missing limbs, which as it turned out, made him a whole lot more limber!
I think this alone shows that the Nymphs were still the creatures who were responsible for Rayman's creation.

The site is far out of date, and that alone shows that nothing on there can be trusted with your life.

Fair do, although what the website says is almost identical to what the manual says

This is what the Bubble Dreamer says for Rayman ingame:
Hey Rayman! Welcome Back! Was I Having a bad dream again?
Still no limbs, eh?! Well, the nymphs will get their act together eventually...! Less bones to break I say!
At least they remembered the funny bone!
Laugh till it hurts!
I think that atleast implies that the nymphs created Rayman.

That story is also in the manual, which is not out of date at all.

That's right, but I think what it changed (or remained unclear) is that Rayman was created by a group of nymphs, not just one/by Betilla.

That’s not a change, at least not exactly. Back in the first trailer, Betilla still said ‘woven together by us, the nymphs’, even though her sisters were nowhere to be seen. This makes me think the idea is that Betilla created Rayman with the help of the other nymphs, but she’s still the ‘lead creator’.

Oh right, the trailer narration.

It is possible that she still is behind the creation of Rayman.

Yes, the trailer narration, and the actual 'film' itself show only Bastilla creating Rayman. And yes, the other...

However, is that trailer still regarded as 'canon'? :?:

Nymphs and fairies are said to be the same thing.

And I think the first trailer, at least for Rayman's birth might be still a cannon since the manual still defends the fact. Now for the rest, I don't think so.
