The '''Teensies''' (singular '''''Teensie''''' or '''''Teensy''''') are a magical race of ancient, diminutive and wise creatures, created by [[Polokus]] to watch over the secret ways of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. They are frequently encountered throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], starting with ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''.

==Description==
[[File:Grand Minimus Woods of Light.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The [[Grand Minimus]] – the Kings of the Teensies]]
Teensies have pale blue-grey skin and are characterized by their faces, which generally appear quite large due to their long, drooping noses, which overlap their hidden mouths. Their noses are marked with elegant spiral patterns which are slightly darker that the rest of their skin, though these markings are only vaguely noticeable until ''[[Rayman M]]''. Teensies have little, black, beady eyes and small, mitten-like hands that lack any fingers other than thumbs (except for ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', in which they do have fingers). They are short compared to most of [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]'s inhabitants; to compensate for this, the Teensies in ''[[Rayman M]]'' stand, one on top of the other's shoulder.

The Teensies were created by [[Polokus]] to oversee [[The Hall of Doors|the many passages of the world]]. After the [[Fairy|Fairies]], they were the second race to be created, and as such are among the most ancient inhabitants of the world. Long before the events of the ''[[Rayman]]'' games, the Teensies created [[the Hall of Doors]], a magic place where all paths eventually meet. Most, if not all Teensies have the ability to create [[Magic Spiral Door]]s; these portals can quickly take a Teensie (or other character, such as [[Rayman]]) from one location to one another. The Teensies can harness the power of [[Yellow Lum]]s collected by [[Rayman]] to create [[Magic Spiral Door]]s or open sealed doors that lead Rayman to the Sanctuaries.

[[File:18440_251125853159_237651503159_3311579_4328594_n.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Rayman and some Teensies]]
[[File:Teensie Doctors.JPG|thumb|right|320px|[[Globox]] with the [[Teensie doctor]]s, from left to right: [[Roméo Patti]], [[Gonzo]] and [[Otto Psi]]]]

The many Teensies are collectively ruled by the four [[Grand Minimus]] Teensies, who reside deep within [[the Fairy Council]], near [[the Heart of the World]].

The Teensie race is a diverse one, and the personality and dialect of a Teensie widely depends on where it comes from. In general, many Teensies are talkative and fun-loving creatures who have a taste for disco. Many Teensies are very old, absent-minded and forgetful; when the [[Grand Minimus]] was locked in a [[cage]] with three other Teensies, they eventually forgot which one of them was King, and were forced to rule together to overcome this problem. The older Teensies spend their spare time performing acrobatic dance moves, in order to make the younger, less-experienced Teensies envious.

With the exception of [[Teensette]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', female Teensies have not made an appearance in any game so far, suggesting that there are more males than females in species. In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', some Teensies grumble about needing to attend to their children or aunts (which have never appeared in any game).

Teensies were originally planned to appear in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype)|Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''; they appeared in some early screenshots and the first teaser trailer. However, when the game was being remodelled into [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|a party game]], the Teensies were cut.

==Role in the games==
===''Rayman 2: The Great Escape''===
''see [[Grand Minimus]]''

===''Rayman M''===
''see [[Grand Minimus]]''

===''Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc''===
In ''Rayman 3'', most Teensies have taken the role previously held by [[Electoon]]s in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and [[Deny]]s, [[Ludiv]]s, [[Greenbottle]]s, etc. in the many versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Though a few Teensies such as the [[Grand Minimus]] and the [[Teensie Doctor]]s have a role in the game's plot and are found elsewhere, most Teensies are found by destroying a [[cage]]. If Rayman destroys enough cages in a world, his HP Bar will increase its maximum capacity.

===''Rayman Origins''===

Teensies take a major role in the game [[Rayman Origins]]. There Teensies join Rayman as playable characters, though players can only choose two of them from the beginning of the game ([[Green Teensie]] and [[Goth Teensie]]), as the others can be unlocked after collecting a certain amount of [[Electoon]]s. While there are only 3 playable members of [[Globox's species]] and 3 playable members of [[Rayman's species]], Teensies seem to be the majority with 11 playable characters.

Unlike the [[Red Wizard]]s, whose devotion to the [[Bubble Dreamer]] is exaggerated, the Teensies coexist with him in a more fraternal and casual way, as at the beginning of the story, [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], the [[Grand Minimus]] and the [[Goth Teensie]] can be seen taking a nap at the [[Snoring Tree]] with the Bubble Dreamer. The big noses of the Teensies are revealed to have a real purpose; as the Bubble Dreamer has certain appreciation for the music created with snores, he decided to create the Teensies with big nostrils, not only to perceive the harmony of the magic, but also to perform schnoz-ballads to entertain him.

Some characters from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] whose species were undefined by then were turned into Teensies, such as the [[Magician]] and the [[Photographer]];the last one was cut from the final version of the game.

===''Rayman Legends''===
[[File:Legends end level.jpg|thumb|left]]
Teensies make a return in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. Some returning Teensies such as the [[Grand Minimus]] and the [[Goth Teensy]] make a return as playable characters, but this time, many other Teensies (some of them being represented as generic [[Green Teensie]]s) take the role of victims who were caught by evil creatures, and up to ten of them must be be saved on each level by Rayman and his friends. These Teensies are scattered everywhere across the levels, and while some of them are easy to find, two Teensies, a King and a Queen are hidden in secret areas that require Rayman to beat certain tasks, like kicking a ball or jumping on platforms. Teensies assume the role of the [[Electoon]]s from [[Rayman 1| the original ''Rayman'' game]] and ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', in a similar way how they did in previous games like ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. This is the first Rayman game to fully introduce a wide variation of Teensy families, including females and children.

There are a total of 700 Teensies to be saved in the game, and once they are all free, the player is rewarded with 150,000 [[Yellow Lum]]s, plus a playable golden Teensie is unlocked. Each Teensie gives the player 25 Yellow Lums when he or she is rescued, while Kings and Queens also give the players a [[heart]] each in all levels in which ten Teensies need to be rescued. When the player revisits a level, any Teensie that has already been rescued appears golden, but they will still give Yellow Lums when they are rescued again; the Kings and Queens stand outside their respective rooms appearing normal, but are found golden if the players revisit the rooms.

===''Rayman Adventures''===
[[File:Wild,Wild East 13.PNG|thumb|right|A Teensie attached to a rocket in an exploration level.]]
Teensies appear in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'' both as playable characters and as victims the player has to rescue in various levels. Teensies usually appear in exploration levels, either in cages, tied to ropes, being held by enemies or on rockets. Sometimes there's a time limit in which the player has to rescue the Teensies, most notably in the time levels, but also in various exploration levels such as when the Teensies are attached to rockets.

==Notable Teensies==
*[[Grand Minimus]]
*[[Otto Psi]]
*[[Roméo Patti]]
*[[Gonzo]]
*[[The Magician]]

[[File:Variety Teensies.jpg|thumb|Some of the various Teensies found in [[cage]]s]]

==Teensie varieties==
*[[Tufkin]]
*[[Sylkin]]
*[[Griskin]]
*[[Nookin]]
*[[Teensie doctor]]
*[[Highway Patrol]]
*[[Murkin]]

==Trivia==
*At an early stage in the development of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', the Teensies were named the '''Smallbeings'''.
*After beating [[the Canopy]], [[Uglette]], [[Globox]], [[Hardrox]] and some of Globox's [[Baby Globox|sons and daughters]] can be found at [[Globox's House]]. Upon speaking to Globox, he tells [[Rayman]] that he can sleep easy now. He also tells Rayman that the Teensies found a little cave down his well, which leads to [[Whale Bay]], [[Skull Cave]] and [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. However, though the subtitles read 'Teensies', Globox actually says 'the little ones'.
*In the Japanese version of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', every Teensie has a pair of bug-like blue eyes.
