*''This article is about the playable character in [[Rayman Origins]] and [[Rayman Legends]]. For other characters with similar names, see [[Dark Rayman]].''

'''Raymesis''', also known as '''DarkRay''',<ref>This name comes from the Nintendo 3DS version of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.</ref> '''Dark Rayman''',<ref>This name comes from ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'' and the game files of ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]''.</ref> and '''Rayman Alter Ego'''<ref>This name comes from the image gallery of ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]''.</ref> is a playable character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', and ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. His name is a portmanteau of “[[Rayman]]” and “nemesis”.

==Description==
Raymesis' appearance is very similar to that of [[Rayman]], but with different colouration. He has glowing yellow eyes, a purple tongue, purple-grey skin, purple hair, cyan hood and shoes, light blue gloves, and a dark blue shirt. From ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' onwards, his eyes are orange, except in duck form, in which they are yellow like in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.

==Role in the games==
===''Rayman Origins''===
{{Quote|text=Bubble me! [[Rayman]]'s evil clone! What a nightmare you were! Still single? Well, you are soooo ugly. Blame it on [[Mr Dark|Mr. Dark]]!|sign=[[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

Raymesis appears in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' as a playable character. To unlock him, 220 [[cage]]s' worth of [[Electoon]]s are required. In the 3DS version, 150 [[Electoon]]s are required.

The [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] suggests that he was created by [[Mr Dark]] – this is one of the game's few references to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] [[Bad Rayman|antagonist]]. It is unclear whether the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] confuses Raymesis with [[Bad Rayman]] or simply makes a joke about their resemblance (he looks almost identical to [[Rayman]]'s evil clone created by [[Mr Dark]] in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]), or if the two are linked in some other way, even them being the same character. In the Nintendo 3DS version, he also refers to Raymesis as DarkRay:

===''Rayman Jungle Run''===
Raymesis is part of the three characters available in the downloadable content of ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', along with [[Globox]] and [[Raybox]]. He is called "Dark Rayman" in this game.

===''Rayman Legends''===

Raymesis returns as a playable character in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.

This is where his name is revealed, as well as the fact that he is a member of [[Rayman's species]] who wants to ruin [[Rayman]]'s reputation.

===''Rayman Fiesta Run''===
Raymesis is also a playable character in ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]''.

An image of him can be obtained in the gallery. It calls him 'Rayman Alter Ego', while he is named 'Dark Rayman' in the game files.
