'''Carmen the Whale''' is a character from ''[[Rayman 2]]''. In every version, Carmen's first appearance is on the Main Menu, making her the first significant character to appear in the game, even before [[Rayman]]. Carmen's home is in the ocean, though she occasionally makes trips to the [[Whale Bay]]. Carmen's purpose in life is to survey the depths of the ocean, depositing [[air bubble]]s to help any stray plants and animals, and in this case also [[Rayman]]. [[Piranha]]s are very fond of her [[air bubble]]s, since they suffer from heartburn. [[Rayman 2 (early production)|Early in the game's production]], she was known simply as '''The Whale'''. | '''Carmen the Whale''' is a character from ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Carmen is captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s and imprisoned in the [[Whale Bay]]. Her captors planned to kill her for her blubber, so they could use it to grease the engines of the ''[[Buccaneer]]''. Once Carmen has been rescued by [[Rayman]], she makes it possible for him to swim through the huge underwater caverns by releasing [[air bubble]]s for him to collect and breathe. As long as he collects them frequently enough, he can stay underwater for an indefinite period of time. In the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Carmen led [[Rayman]] to [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]], which has been reduced to a small area at the end of the [[Whale Bay]]; in all other versions, she simply leads him to the end of the level. | In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Carmen is captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s and imprisoned in the [[Whale Bay]].
