Polokus does not appear in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', and his absence is not explained but it is possible that after ''[[Rayman 2]]'' he went back to sleep. His next appearance is in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', where he is now known as the Bubble Dreamer. He has become a relaxed, jolly, whimsical being with a more childish attitude, and now dwells among his people. It seems that his more easy-going personality has filtered down to his creations, who are now much sillier and more carefree than they were in the earlier games. His appearance has changed: while still a fat, pale, amphibious creature, he no longer wears clothes, and he now has a long orange beard. He has become good friends with [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], the [[Teensie]]s and other characters. A magical instrument he uses to bring his dreams to life is seen for the first time: a wooden [[bubble]]-blowing pipe. [[Bubble]]s are introduced as a major motif which recurs throughout the game. It is revealed that the [[Electoon]]s are the stuff of Polokus' dreams and the substance of his world.

One day, the Bubble Dreamer and his creations are sleeping at [[the Snoring Tree]], their sound of their snoring annoys an irritable [[Granny]] who dwells deep in the subterranean [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]. She sends an army of [[Antitoon|Darktoons]], [[Psychlops]] and other nighmare creatures to invade the [[Glade of Dreams]] and put a stop to the heroes' snoring. The creatures capture [[Rayman]] and his friends, imprisoning them in [[cage]]s. [[Rayman]] soon escapes and pulls the Bubble Dreamer's beard, causing him to destroy his [[cage]] and free himself. [[Murfy]] appears, telling the heroes that in order to restore the Bubble Dreamer's memories (to make more playable characters appear), they should collect [[Electoon]]s. The Bubble Dreamer spends the rest of the game levitating inside [[the Snoring Tree]], sometimes acting crazy, pulling on his left eye, clucking like a chicken and detaching his head. Characters can pull on his beard to make him laugh and cause him to give a brief, whimsical description of the player's current character.

==Trivia==

*According to the [[Media:20th Anniversary timeline.jpg|timeline]] made for the ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' franchise's 20th anniversary, Polokus' beard is 6 meters long.

*According to unused dialogue found in the files of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|the Magician]] secretly despises the Bubble Dreamer for his silliness and decadence, and because he usually fails to protect his innocent creations from his nightmarish ones. [[The Magician (Rayman Origins)|The Magician]] constructs an army of [[Robot (Moody Clouds)|robots]] with which he hopes to overthrow the Bubble Dreamer and take control of the [[Glade of Dreams]], but he is thwarted by [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and the [[Teensie]]s.

* During ''[[Rayman 2]]'''s production, Polokus was referred to as "Polochus the Magician".

* In the text of [[the Knowledge of the World]], there are typos on Polokus' name, being incorrectly named as "Polukus".

*During [[Rayman Origins (early production)|the development]] of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', one of the known concept arts showed up the Bubble Dreamer smoking in a hookah, while the blowpipe made it to the final version. The hookah from the concept art was later used in the final version of ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.

*The book ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'' claims that Polokus and [[Globox]] are of the same [[Globox's species|species]], erroneously referred to as [[glute]]s.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 10 - Rayman's World</ref> Whether or not this is true is unconfirmed.
