The '''grimace''' is [[Rayman]]'s initial line of defence, which he has been capable of right from the beginning of [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. To grimace, [[Rayman]] stretches his mouth wide with his hands, sticks out his tongue, rolls his eyes and makes a gurgling sound with his throat. The power's functions vary from game to game.

==In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''==

In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' the only use for this power is to scare tall [[Livingstone]]s; when they see the grimace, they are driven mad with fear and start to run uncontrollably, usually killing themselves by falling into water. In the first part of [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]], the grimace is temporarily replaced by the [[Magic Seed]] which [[Rayman]] receives from [[Tarayzan]]. When he defeats [[Mr Stone]] in [[Mr Stone's Peaks]], [[Betilla]] grants him [[Running|the power to run]], which permanently replaces the grimace.

==In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''==

The grimace does not appear in most versions of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''; however, in the Dreamcast, iPhone/iPod Touch and [[Rayman 3D|3DS]] versions of the game [[Rayman]] occasionally performs a grimace at the camera if left idle by the player for a time. He also does this in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance and N-GAGE version of ''Rayman 3'']].

==In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''==

In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', however, [[Gumsi]] uses [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]] to grant [[Rayman]] this power after he defeats [[Reflux]] in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]]. Rayman can then use this power to convert [[Black Lum]]s back into [[Red Lum]]s by making them laugh after defeating their [[Hoodlum]] costumes. It is known as ‘The Power of [[the Leptys]]’ in this game. A promotional statue to ''Rayman 3'' which recreates the grimace artwork was done in a limited number to hundreds of units worldwide, very few containing a box and an artwork book with conceptual art of the game.

Heart of the World

2011-12-18T20:32:55Z

Rayray1994:

* ''This article is about the object itself. For the level in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', see [[Heart of the World (Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge)]].''

[[File:HeartOfTheWorld.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The Heart of the World, as seen in a chamber with [[the Fairy Council]] in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'']]

'''The Heart of the World''' (also known as '''the Primordial Core''') is a mystical object mentioned in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', though it is not shown until ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. Comprising one thousand [[Yellow Lum]]s, the Heart is a glowing conglomeration of light whose energy sustains the harmony and balance of [[the Glade of Dreams]].

At the beginning of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', the Heart of the World is destroyed by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s and their leader, [[Admiral Razorbeard]]. The 1000 [[Yellow Lum]]s which formed the Heart (only 800 in the PlayStation version) are scattered about [[the Glade of Dreams]]. This cataclysmic event destroys the natural order, plunging the world into chaos and robbing [[Rayman]] and [[Ly the Fairy|Ly]] of their powers. The shattering of the Heart has serious negative repercussions for the Glade; dangerous creatures such as [[caterpillar]]s, [[spider]]s, [[piranha]]s and [[Zombie Chicken]]s begin to appear and multiply. [[Foutch]], the Guardian of the second [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask of Polokus]], is driven insane. Over the course of the game, Rayman must gather the 1000 Yellow Lums, ultimately reconstructing the Heart and restoring the world's balance.

At the beginning of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', [[André]], the villainous leader of the [[Black Lum]]s, infiltrates [[the Fairy Council]]. He wishes to reach the Heart of the World and convert its energy into an army of [[Hoodlum]]s with which he can take over [[the Glade of Dreams]]. [[Globox]] puts a stop to André's plans by inadvertently swallowing him, thus putting the Heart out of immediate danger; for the remainder of the game, André pursues another power source, [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]].

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], a mystical orb named [[the Great Protoon]] appears. Like the Heart of the World, it maintains the harmony and balance of the world. When it is stolen by the villainous [[Mr Dark]], the world is plunged into chaos, and unpleasant creatures begin to appear and multiply. After this game, the Great Protoon is never mentioned, and its position in the story is subsequently filled by the Heart of the World. Since the Heart largely has the same function as the Protoon (and even resembles it in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''), it has been speculated that they are in fact the same object.

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] can unlock a number of cosmic secrets relating to the nature of his world by gathering the [[Yellow Lum]]s. This information is collectively known as [[the Knowledge of the World]]. The Knowledge contains a number of statements relating to the Heart of the World. It says that the Yellow Lums are ‘the most important ones’, and that ‘one day, the Lums focused their energy into thought, and their consciousness brought to life a strange and marvellous creature: [[Polokus]]’. This shows that the Yellow Lums – which are synonymous with the Heart – had a significant hand in the birth of Polokus, the [[god]] who dreamt [[the Glade of Dreams]] into existence. In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', [[Murfy]] states that ‘the Heart is where all the world’s energy comes from’ – if [[Lum]]s are counted as ‘energy’, this implies that the Heart is wholly responsible for the creation of Polokus, and thus the entire universe. The Knowledge of the World also mentions that ‘the universe is made of energy’.

Blue Lum

2011-07-06T10:22:54Z

Rayray1994:

[[File:BlueLums.jpg|thumb|320px|By collecting Blue Lums, [[Rayman]] can sustain his underwater trips.]]

A '''Blue Lum''' is a type of [[Lum]] which is found underwater in all versions of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' except for ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', in which they are replaced with [[air bubble]]s. They contain oxygen, which [[Rayman]] needs when he swims in bodies of water he cannot resurface to, otherwise his oxygen meter will run out and he will drown. Some stay and provide an unlimited amount of oxygen. Others disappear for a while once they have been collected.

==History==
Blue Lums in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' are said to represent the origin of all life, and the very first breath of a creature's life. When a creature is born, it is given Blue Lums to keep until the day it dies. As he is the only being [[Polokus]] did not dream, [[Rayman]] may or may not carry his own Blue Lums in this way.

==Usage in other games==
Blue Lums also appear in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'' and [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. In these games, the Blue Lums resemble [[Ting]]s, and they do not give [[Rayman]] air; instead they briefly grant him the [[Super Helicopter]] power, much like the potion he receives from [[the Musician]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. In ''Hoodlums' Revenge'', they simply act as fuel which sustains the [[Throttle Copter]] – a separate pick-up which allows Rayman to fly via a mechanical apparatus attached to his head. Rayman must quickly collect Blue Lums in order to keep the Throttle Copter in the air.

Céloche

2011-07-05T13:26:15Z

Rayray1994:

{{Character
| name = Céloche
| image = [[File:Celoche.jpg|300px|center]]
| alignment = Bad
| appears in = ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''
| sex = Male
| species = [[Hoodlum]]
| status = Boss
}}

'''Céloche''' is a mechanical marine boss who appears in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. He is fought underwater in [[the Land of the Livid Dead]] and is presumably controlled by a [[Hoodlum]].

Céloche's first and only appearance is in the third final part of [[the Land of the Livid Dead]]. After [[Rayman]] travels through a network of underwater tunnels decorated with [[Teensie]] carvings, he ends up at a large, round, underwater cavern, into which Céloche jumps from above. At first he attacks by opening his mouth and releasing a metal [[fish]] which Rayman cannot see for the rest of the battle; this is the device that disperses the homing missiles which follow [[Rayman]] around and damage him if he does not avoid them. To defeat Céloche, [[Rayman]] must let the missiles follow him and then do an underwater somersault while in-between the missiles and Céloche, which causes them to miss and hit him instead of [[Rayman]]. This is reminiscent of the method by which Rayman defeats the [[Grolgoth]] in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. Céloche can also fire a horizontally-moving laser beam at [[Rayman]], which Rayman can dodge with a somersault. Céloche's powerful turret is also capable of firing blasts very similar to those used by [[Armaguiddon]]s later in the game.

When defeated, Céloche collapses onto the lake bed.

[[File:Celoche cannon.jpg|320px|thumb|right|A close-up view of the plasma cannon inside Céloche's mouth]]

==Trivia==
*Céloche's 'eyes' and the 'face' on its turret look identical to the windows found in [[Robo-Pirate]] strongholds in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. This suggests that the [[Hoodlum]]s may have used the wreckage of old [[Robo-Pirate]] installations to construct their own vehicles and buildings.

*It is highly likely that Céloche's design was inspired by that of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripod_(The_War_of_the_Worlds) Martian tripod] from H.G. Wells's classic science fiction novel, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds ''The War of the Worlds'']. Both are gigantic, mechanical tripods; both are piloted by antagonists; both use a Heat-Ray weapon; and both are capable of traversing both land and water.

*The cannon, as shown in the picture on the right, has [[Slapdash|boxing gloves]] on its turrets. Why it has them is unknown.

Green Lum

2011-07-05T10:40:14Z

Rayray1994:

[[File:GreenLum-RR-TheRainbowCreek.jpg|320px|thumb|right|A Green Lum]]

'''Green Lums''' are items from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. They are of the same shape and form as most other [[Lum]]s; however these Lums are the only variety that are green in colour.

Green Lums are used as checkpoints during a level. If [[Rayman]] touches a Green Lum and dies, he will reappear at that Green Lum as long as his HP meter has not hit 0. In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 2'']], Green Lums are replaced by [[White Lum]]s. The function of these Lums are exactly the same.

Unlike most other [[Lum]] varieties, the Green Lums are not mentioned in [[the Knowledge of the World]], a series of secrets granted to [[Rayman]] by the [[Yellow Lum]]s in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. As such, it is unknown what role the Green Lums play in the wellbeing of [[the Glade of Dreams]].

They also appear in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. As in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' they serve as checkpoints in this game.

''‘[[Count Razoff|Razoff]] doesn't like intruders – he loves them! There's nothing quite like taking potshots at moving targets! But make sure you don't get submerged ... ’'' —''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''

[[File:Commando-Arcade-R3HH-PC-TitleScreen.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The title screen of Commando]]

[[File:Commando-Arcade-R3HH-PC-Razoff-Part1.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The player controls [[Count Razoff|Razoff]]. The first part of Commando takes place in an icy landscape. The [[Hoodmonger]]s are common enemies in the minigame.]]

[[File:Commando-Arcade-R3HH-PC-Bomb.jpg|thumb|right|320px|[[Count Razoff|Razoff]] can attack in two ways. One of them is throwing blue bombs.]]

'''Commando''' is the last of the nine minigames which can be unlocked and played in every version of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''.

==Description==

[[File:Commando-Arcade-R3HH-PC-Fire.jpg|thumb|left|320px|[[Count Razoff|Razoff]] can attack in two ways. One of them is firing bullets from his gun.]]

This minigame takes place in three areas which are on [[Count Razoff]]'s property, presumably in or near [[the Bog of Murk]]. The main goal is to help Razoff, who us controlled by the player, to survive the three stages of the minigame, and clear up all the [[Hoodlum]]s in his path. [[Razoff]] can attack in two ways: by shooting bullets from his gun (which go straight forward) or by throwing bombs (which are thrown in arc shape). There are some types of Hoodlums that appear: the [[Hoodmonger]] (common), the [[Hoodboom]] (uncommon; a boss in the first stage), the [[Hoodstormer]] (boss in the second stage) and the [[Heckler]] (boss in the third stage). The [[Hoodmonger]]s have got a resistance of one shot, the [[Hoodboom]]s and the Hoodstormer have got resistances of three shots, and the Heckler has got a resistance of nine shots. The red bar represents Razoff's health level. He has got only one shot of resistance. Being hit makes the player restart the level stage where he/she got hit. If [[Razoff]] gets hit three times, the player loses the minigame immediately. The yellow bar represents the cleared stages, except in the third stage that represents the [[Heckler]]'s health. The player wins when the yellow bar is completely empty and [[Razoff]] wins the three stages and their own bosses.

The Manual

2011-07-03T16:30:46Z

Rayray1994:

[[File:MurfyR3.jpg|thumb|right|400px|[[Murfy]] with the Manual, as seen in [[the Fairy Council]]]]

'''The Manual''' is an item which appears in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' and provides [[Rayman]] with information he needs to get through the game. It is a purple booklet with an image of Rayman's face on the front cover; this image depicts Rayman as he appeared in [[Rayman 1|the original game]].

The Manual makes its first appears at the beginning of the second phase of [[the Fairy Council]], the first of nine levels in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. It is in the possession of Rayman's coach, the [[greenbottle]] [[Murfy]], who reads out general information the Manual has on the game's basics. Murfy notices that most of the Manual's advice is extremely obvious (eg ‘Push the jump button to jump.’), and makes sarcastic remarks about some of its advice (eg ‘Someone gets paid to write this junk?’ and ‘It says here you can [[helicopter|make a chopper outta your hair]]... make a chopper outta your hair. Sounds like [[Ubisoft|someone]]'s been eating paint chips again.’)

Eventually the Manual grows angry at [[Murfy]]'s rudeness and disobedience and begins to speak itself, via subtitles. It threatens to fire Murfy from the game if he does not follow the ‘script’. The Manual does not appear after [[the Fairy Council]], as its only purpose is to assist Murfy in providing instructions to [[Rayman]] during the game's early sections.

Ugly

| alignment = Good
| appears in = ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''
| sex = Unknown
| species = Ugly
| status = Ally; background character
}}

'''Uglies''' are a species of creatures that can be found in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. They have an insectile appearance, with a small pair of wings and a pair of antennae.

Uglies are first encountered in the fifth phase of [[the Bog of Murk]]. Pairs of Uglies are seen chained-up in various places throughout [[Count Razoff]]'s Mansion, presumably captured and imprisoned there by Razoff. If Rayman breaks their chains with his [[telescopic fist]], the freed Uglies bow to him and each releases one [[Red Lum]] before flying away.

[[File:Ugly Cinematic.jpg|thumb|320px|left|A group of Uglies with [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] in a cinematic]]
[[File:Ugly Free.JPG|thumb|320px|none|[[Rayman]] freeing two Uglies]]

The Uglies are seen again during the cinematic following [[Rayman]]'s battle with [[Count Razoff]] in the latter's dungeon. They save [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] from Razoff, who intended to kill the two heroes. Razoff seems to be afraid of them; he flees when he is confronted by a gang of ten Uglies (who were most likely the ones freed by Rayman during the previous battle).

The original habitat of the Uglies is unknown, as they do not reappear during this game or any other. It is not known if they left [[Count Razoff|Razoff]]'s mansion after being freed by Rayman or continued to live there.

[[File:Ugly Cameo.jpg|thumb|320px|right|An Ugly's statue in [[Razoff]]'s Mansion]]

==Trivia==
* An Ugly can be also seen as a trophy in Razoff's house.
* Uglies are one of few creatures that appears in cinematics.
* In the cinematic they are seen pulling off karate kicks.
