'''''Rayman 4''''' was the tentative title for a ''Rayman'' game, announced by [[Ubisoft]] on the 3rd of May, 2006. Under development by [[Ubisoft Montpellier]], the game was to be a free-roaming action/platforming game, in which the player would control [[Rayman]] as he battled against an invading army of [[Rabbid]]s. These enemies were, according to series creator [[Michel Ancel]], ‘vicious, but at the same time [...] totally stupid’. The Rabbids had been planning their invasion since the events of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], which the first teaser trailer indicates had been ‘decades’ before. The game was announced for Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, the PC, and the Nintendo Wii (which was then codenamed the Revolution, [[Rayman Revolution|coincidentally]]).

Upon receiving Wii development kits from Nintendo, the developers began to experiment with a wide variety of gameplay styles; as a result, the game's action/platforming elements were ultimately removed and replaced with minigames. The final game, ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', was almost unrecognisable from the original ''Rayman 4'' concept.

==2005 concept art==

In 2009, several pieces of artwork from 2005 were published on videogame concept artist Guillaume Bonamy's portfolio. They feature three-dimensional versions of [[Band Land]] and [[Picture City]], as well as new environments called ''le Palais Temporel'' ([[the Temporal Palace]]), ''le Monde Organique'' ([[Organic Cave|the Organic World]]) and [[The World of Toys|an unnamed world of toys]]. While the latter two new environments were eventually adapted for [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], the Temporal Palace was seemingly abandoned.

It is unknown if the [[Rabbid]]s had been conceptualised yet at this early stage of the game's development.

==Concept art==

The Emperor Rabbid is an unnamed character who would have had a role in Rayman Raving Rabbids, had it been released as the platformer which it was originally conceived as. He appears to be a huge, slug-like Rabbid suffering from morbid obesity and he is probably a reference to Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars. He appears to enjoy watching Rayman beat the Rabbids, as shown in some concept art. Rayman's girlfriend is an unnamed character who would have had a role in Rayman Raving Rabbids. She appears to be a female member of Rayman's species, and is seen in several pieces of concept artwork as printed in a Nintendo Power article about the then-upcoming Rayman Raving Rabbids. According to Michel Ancel, "Rayman will have to save the world, his girlfriend and the girlfriend of his old enemy and his old enemy too!" Rayman's girlfriend has been captured by the Emperor Rabbid, and the Baby Globox's serve him, doing things like fanning him. As Michel Ancel said, Rayman must also rescue Andre, and his girlfriend. It is unknown how Andre returns, and how he has a girlfriend, considering all of the Black Lums returned to Red Lums.

==Press release==
[[Ubisoft]]'s official 2006 press release on the game read as follows:

<blockquote>Rayman Raving Rabbids marks the return of Rayman, in his funniest and zaniest adventure ever. When [[the Glade of Dreams|his world]] is threatened by a devastating invasion of [[Rabbid|crazed, out-of-control bunnies]], [[Rayman]] must rise up against these furry foes and foil their wicked plans. Using an array of amazing new abilities, and with the help of magical creatures, Rayman will need to break out all his best moves to save [[the Glade of Dreams|his world]] from these delirious bunnies and their hare-raising antics. “It’s a real pleasure for me to be back working on an all-new Rayman,” said [[Michel Ancel]]. “After wrapping up my last game, the team here in Montpellier sat down to talk about having some fun with [[Rayman]] and his universe. We are running into a bit of a problem, though, because our game has been invaded by thousands of raving mad and vicious bunnies, who have apparently been preparing this assault since [[Rayman 1|the very first Rayman game]]. We are now sending an SOS to all motivated gamers to help us get rid of them as fast as possible!” Here are a list of features you'll find in the new game!

* Combat the Ultra-Crazed Evil Rabbits – Take control of Rayman and his knack for attack to help save his world from the raving rabbids. They are mischievous, insane and completely out of control. There are several types of rabbids each with its own mischievous characteristics.
* Master and Ride Creatures – Tame and control various creatures such as sharks, eagles, rhinos, spiders and angelfish. Rayman can master each animal’s unique capabilities to help in his battle against the devious rabbits.
* Dress to Impress – Customize and disguise Rayman. Go punk, pop, rock or hip hop to infiltrate the bunnies and foil their devious plans.
* Explore the Colorful Fantastic World of Rayman – Explore amazing free-roaming environments and beautiful epic landscapes that mix real and fantastical styles to create a visually stunning experience.</blockquote>

''‘Listen up pipsqeak, soon I'll transform the energy from [[the Heart of the World|the Heart]] into an army of [[Hoodlum]]s! Then I'll deal with you!’'' —André, ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''

'''André''', also known as '''the Dark Lum Lord''', is the main antagonist of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. He is the original [[Black Lum]], the result of a [[Red Lum]] being frightened. He has the ability to corrupt other Red Lums into Black Lums by touching them; this is how he raised an army of Black Lums, which then became the game's titular [[Hoodlum]]s. He spends the first half of the game inside [[Globox]]'s stomach after the latter accidentally swallowed him in [[the Fairy Council]]. Later, he joins forces with [[Reflux]], fallen champion of the [[Knaaren]], and together they gain the power of [[the Leptys]] in the hopes of destroying [[Rayman]] and wreaking havoc throughout [[the Glade of Dreams]].

==Biography==

===''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc''===
André was originally just a normal [[Red Lum]] living in [[the Fairy Council]]. However, one peaceful night, when [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] were sleeping, the dreaming [[Rayman]]'s hands detached themselves from [[Rayman]] and wandered off, showing shadow puppets to a Red Lum. The Red Lum was frightened so much that it transformed into André, a [[Black Lum]] that desired world domination.

André started by transforming most of the [[Red Lum]]s into [[Black Lum]]s like himself. However, the Black Lums he created were not as powerful as him; they could not talk, were less intelligent, could not corrupt other Red Lums and did not have arms. The Black Lums began stealing fur from animals like [[Mawpaw]]s and used it to weave potato-sack costumes for themselves, becoming the [[Hoodlum]] army. André became the first Hoodlum, a [[Hoodmonger]].

After becoming a [[Hoodlum]], André pursued a frightened [[Murfy]] throughout the Council. Murfy found [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] sleeping at a tree, and tried to wake them up as André came closer and closer. Globox's attempts to snatch up the sleeping Rayman and bring him to safety resulted in him running away in fear with Rayman's hands. Murfy grabbed Rayman by the hair and flew away with him.

While travelling through [[the Fairy Council]], [[Rayman]] and [[Murfy]] soon found André again, and Murfy distracted him while Rayman beat him up. With his [[Hoodblaster]] costume destroyed, André reverted to being a [[Black Lum]], and revealed his plans to corrupt [[the Heart of the World]] itself, converting its [[Yellow Lum]]s into an army of [[Hoodlum]]s. He then flew off in the direction of the Heart's chamber. Rayman and Murfy pursued him so that they might prevent this calamity from occurring. Once André was in sight of the door leading to the Heart of the World, he rushed for it, and accidentally flew straight into [[Globox]]'s mouth.

At [[the Heart of the World]], the [[Grand Minimus]], King of the Teensies, told [[Rayman]] to take [[Globox]] to [[Clearleaf Forest]], where they would find the [[Teensie Doctor]] [[Otto Psi]]. Otto was an old friend of the Grand Minimus, and hopefully he would be able to remove the swallowed André from [[Globox]]'s stomach. As they travelled there, André become addicted to [[Plum Juice]], forcing [[Globox]] (who was allergic to it) to get drunk on it. Eventually they arrived at the doctor's office. Despite Otto's bizarre musical attempt to remove the [[Black Lum]], André simply moved to Globox's lungs. Otto then sent them to Doctor [[Roméo Patti]], whose office was in [[the Land of the Livid Dead]].

Roméo also tried a musical method, but André only moved to [[Globox]]'s (particularly small) brain. Roméo then sent [[Rayman]], Globox and André to the office of the third and final doctor, [[Gonzo]], where the three [[Teensie Doctor]]s combined forces and successfully removed André from Globox's stomach (it is revealed in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'' that some of André's spirit still remained within Globox). However, André flew away and gathered up an army of [[Black Lum]]s. He then made an allegiance with the former [[Knaaren]] champion [[Reflux]], who [[Rayman]] had defeated and humiliated on the way to [[Gonzo]]]'s office. Reflux wanted revenge on Rayman, and André was able to persuade him to steal [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]] from the Knaaren king, [[Gumsi]]. Once they had invoked the power of [[the Leptys]] (the Knaaren god), Reflux would be able to kill Rayman, and André would be able to spawn a greater army of [[Hoodlum]]s (as he had attempted to do with [[the Heart of the World]]).

Later on, André and [[Reflux]] make their way to the top of [[the Tower of the Leptys]]. Once there, Reflux uses the Sceptre to summon the power of [[the Leptys]], which transforms him into a more powerful monster than he already was. As [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] climb the Tower to confront the villains, Globox reveals that he has grown fond of André and wants to be reunited with him. At the top, Reflux fights [[Rayman]]. As the battle goes on, Reflux embeds the Sceptre in his back so that he can utilise its power more fully. He grows massive and sprouts wings. André, who is now inside Reflux's back, uses [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]] to reproduce and create more [[Black Lum]]s; these Black Lums shoot from the flesh of Reflux's back, transform instantly into [[Hoodblaster]]s and then walk back into Reflux, who reabsorbs them. Rayman, with the added help of [[Globox]] and his [[Armaguiddon]] machine, defeat the monstrous Reflux by shooting at him and killing his Hoodblasters. Reflux turns to ice, shatters and vanishes, though it is unclear if he is dead.

With the [[grimace]] ability he was given by [[Gumsi]] as a reward for defeating Reflux earlier, Rayman transforms André back into a [[Red Lum]]. All Black Lums subservient to André also revert to their original forms, thereby ending the Hoodlums' havoc. The apparent explosion of the Leptys sents Rayman and Globox flying through the air, and they land in the very spot where they had been sleeping at the beginning of the game (it seems that the events of the entire game took place over the course of a single day). Globox says that he misses André and asks Rayman to scare a Red Lum, thus bringing André back. Rayman declines, wondering aloud what could possibly frighten a [[Lum]] as he falls asleep. A flashback then reveals to the player that it was Rayman's mischievous, wayward hands that had frightened a Red Lum into André the previous night.

==[[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|''Rayman 3'' (Game Boy Advance)]]==
André makes a small appearance in this game, though he is not named. At the beginning of the game, [[Rayman]] is berating [[Globox]] for accidentally swallowing a [[Black Lum|Dark Lum]] while attempting to save the [[Teensie]]s. Globox suddenly flees. When [[Admiral Razorbeard]] hears that Globox has swallowed a Dark Lum, he decides he wants to capture Globox so that he can take advantage of André's power, and use it to conquer [[the Glade of Dreams]] and get revenge on Rayman (this game apparently takes place between the events of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', though its canonicity is uncertain). It is unclear how exactly Razorbeard plans to use André, but it is most likely that he plans to devour him; [[Robo-Pirate]]s are known to gain energy by eating [[Red Lum]]s, and Razorbeard is shown eating a [[Yellow Lum]] at one point in ''Rayman 2''. At the end of the game, once Rayman defeats Razorbeard and his [[Grolgoth]] in the [[Heart of the Ancients]], Rayman manages to track down Globox. Globox spits out André and and returns to [[baby Globox|his children]].

===''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge''===
[[Image:Andre spirit expelled.PNG|thumb|316px|André's spirit leaves [[Globox]]'s body]]
Even though André has been extracted from [[Globox]]'s stomach, some of his evil spirit still remains. In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', the fragment of his spirit reawakens and musters the [[Hoodlum]] army once more, in another attempt to conquer [[the Glade of Dreams]]. The piece of André's spirit slowly takes possession of Globox's body as [[Rayman]] and Globox fight back against the Hoodlum army. When Rayman defeats the [[Firemonster]], André takes full control over Globox and announces to his return to Rayman. André then transforms Globox into a clone of [[Reflux]]. When Rayman defeats the clone, Globox reverts to his normal self and André's spirit fled.

==="Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)"===

In a prototype version of Rayman Raving Rabbids, André would have been captured by the Rabbids, presumambly for the same intentions of the Robo-Pirates in Rayman 3 for the GBA. André would have a girlfriend in this game, also kidnapped by the Rabbids. Due to there being two Black Lums, it is possible that Rayman would have an alliance with the Hoodlums in this game, to rescue them. It is unknown how André returns in this game, as he reverts to a Red Lum in Rayman 3, and in Hoodlums Revenge, his spirit flees Globox's body, though his spirit may have somehow inhabitied another Black Lum, or found his body as a Red Lum, scaring it.

==Appearance==
As a [[Black Lum]], André is essentially a small ball of black fluff. He has large, bulging, bloodshot eyes and a long tongue that tends to stick out at times. From his head protrude small, triangular ears that stick upwards slightly, and fly-like wings. Unlike other Black Lums, he has arms, and the palms of his hands are hairless.

==Personality==
André is rude and mean, often making cruel remarks about [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] throughout the games. He enjoys causing chaos and destruction and dreams of taking over [[the Glade of Dreams]]. He is insane and manic, and is revealed as coward at the end of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', when Rayman is about to convert him back into a [[Red Lum]].
