	In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', many characters from the original game appear for the first time in the series's sixteen-year history. However, the developers made some effort to avoid the subject of [[Rayman]]'s species, perhaps to maintain the unique status held by [[Rayman]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Characters who were originally limbless, like [[Betilla\|Betilla the Fairy]], [[Hunter]]s, [[Antitoon]]s and [[Livingstone]]s now have arms and legs. Some characters, like [[the Magician]] and [[the Photographer]], have been changed to [[Teensie]]s to better fit the style established in the previous sequels. However, some characters, like [[Electoon]]s, [[Stone man\|stone men]] and other members of [[Rayman]]'s species remain as limbless as they were in the original. In addition, [[Raybox]] and [[Raymesis]] are introduced as playable characters and skins for [[Rayman]].

	''[[Rayman Origins]]'' also gives an ~~in-story~~ explanation for [[Rayman]]'s limblessness~~. In~~ the distant past, [[Rayman]] was created by ~~[[Betilla\|Betilla~~ the ~~Fairy]] and her~~ [[nymph]] ~~sisters~~ in order to defeat [[Jano]] and preserve the balance of the world. However, on their way to the ritual, the [[nymph]]s accidentally lost a bag of [[Lum]]s. As a result, [[Rayman]] was born incomplete: missing arms, legs and neck.		The manual for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' also gives an explanation for [[Rayman]]'s limblessness, claiming that in the distant past, [[Rayman]] was created by the [[nymph]]s in order to defeat [[Jano]] and preserve the balance of the world. However, on their way to the ritual, the [[nymph]]s accidentally lost a bag of [[Lum]]s. As a result, [[Rayman]] was born incomplete: missing arms, legs and neck. However, this story conflicts with other accounts of [[Rayman]]'s origins.

	At one point in the development of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', [[Tarayzan]] from [[Rayman 1\|the original game]] was intended to be a playable character. As a skin for [[Rayman]], [[Tarayzan]] would have remained limbless. Unused dialogue from the game reveals that the [[Bubble Dreamer]] would have called him [[Rayman]]'s "cuz", ~~though~~ it is unknown if this was supposed to denote a literal kinship~~. If he was meant to be [[Rayman]]'s cousin, then [[Tarayzan]] likely would also have been created by the [[nymph]]s. The same may hold true for the other members of [[Rayman]]'s species~~.

	When ~~the player~~ pulls on the [[Polokus\|Bubble Dreamer]]'s beard while controlling [[Rayman]], he expresses mild surprise that [[Rayman]] is still limbless, and assures him that the [[nymph]]s will get their act together eventually.

	In the PlayStation Vita version of the game, the player can unlock two hidden mosaics by collecting [[relic]]s. One mosaic tells a story about [[Globox]]'s past, while the other tells a story about [[Rayman]]'s history. According to the mosaic, [[Rayman]] was originally bald, and had a [[Raynette\|wife or girlfriend]] who was a member of his own species. While the couple slept on a forest floor, a group of [[Mini-Villus\|tiny creatures]], each one a living strand of blonde hair, crept up on [[Rayman]] and fused themselves to his bald head. [[Raynette\|Rayman's female companion]], terrified and confused, attempted to cut [[Rayman]]'s hair with a gigantic pair of scissors, but the [[Mini-Villus\|hair creatures]], afraid of their nefarious fate, pulled [[Rayman]]'s head and body to escape with him, accidentally making him fall off a cliff. Much to [[Rayman]]'s surprise, his new hair activated its [[helicopter]] ability for the first time, flying him to safety. It is unknown what happened to [[Raynette\|Rayman's partner]], as she is never seen or mentioned again.

This ~~seems to~~ suggest that it is possible for members of [[Rayman]]'s species to gain limbs; it may be that this is what happened to the other returning characters from the original game.		When the player pulls on the [[Polokus\|Bubble Dreamer]]'s beard while controlling [[Rayman]], he expresses mild surprise that [[Rayman]] is still limbless, and assures him that the [[nymph]]s will get their act together eventually. This may suggest that it is possible for members of [[Rayman]]'s species to gain limbs; it may be that this is what happened to the other returning characters from the original game.

	In the PlayStation Vita version of the game, the player can unlock two hidden mosaics by collecting [[relic]]s. One mosaic tells a story about [[Globox]]'s past, while the other tells a story about [[Rayman]]'s history. According to the mosaic, [[Rayman]] was originally bald, and had a [[Raynette\|wife or girlfriend]] who was a member of his own species. While the couple slept on a forest floor, a group of [[Mini-Villus\|tiny creatures]], each one a living strand of blonde hair, crept up on [[Rayman]] and fused themselves to his bald head. [[Raynette\|Rayman's female companion]], terrified and confused, attempted to cut [[Rayman]]'s hair with a gigantic pair of scissors, but the [[Mini-Villus\|hair creatures]], afraid of their nefarious fate, pulled [[Rayman]]'s head and body to escape with him, accidentally making him fall off a cliff. Much to [[Rayman]]'s surprise, his new hair activated its [[helicopter]] ability for the first time, flying him to safety. It is unknown what happened to [[Raynette\|Rayman's partner]], as she is never seen or mentioned again.

	A slew of new members of [[Rayman]]’s species are introduced in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' as skins for [[Rayman]], such as [[Sir Rayelot]], [[Raymolk]], and [[Rayomz]].

	A few new members of [[Rayman]]’s species, including [[Raylatin]] and [[Raywolf]], made their debut as skins in ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]''.
