'''Dark Rayman"', also known as '''Anti Rayman, Bad Rayman and evil Rayman ''', is an enemy which appear in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], its [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color]] and [[Rayman Advance|Game Boy Advance]] ports and in ''[[Rayman Junior]]''.  

==Description==

Dark Rayman is a clone of [[Rayman]], magically created by [[Mr Dark]] in an attempt to destroy the original.  

His appearance is very similar to that of [[Rayman]], but with different colouration. He seems to have somehow inherited Mr Dark's glowing yellow eyes. In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'', Dark Rayman's skin is grey, his hair and neckerchief are pink, his gloves are light blue, and his shirt and shoes are dark blue. He also has a green tongue, which can be noticed by having him make a [[grimace]] in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' or ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' or Rayman 1 DSi.

==Role in the games==

He first appears at a very late point in all versions of ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' except for the Atari Jaguar version, when the real [[Rayman]] finally reaches the second part of [[Mr Dark's Dare]] in [[Candy Château]], and has a spell cast upon him by [[Mr Dark]]. The evil double appears behind him, and follows him wherever he goes as well as copying his actions. [[Rayman]] cannot stand still for too long at this point, because he and the double will die instantly if they come to close contact with each other. However, Dark Rayman will die as soon as the real [[Rayman]] reaches the exit in the area.

In ''[[Rayman Advance]]'', Dark Rayman's name is shown, which has fuelled numerous debates on his real name, and the nature of the relationship between him and [[Dark Rayman (Rayman Arena)|the playable character  in ''Rayman Arena'']].<ref>[[Rayman Pirate-Community]] discussion forums, ''Dark Rayman & Bad Rayman'', http://www.raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=5283</ref>

In the ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', Dark Rayman appears in the penultimate level, [[Tasty chase]]. [[Betilla the Fairy|Betilla]] refers to him as [[Rayman]]'s Wicked Double. However, he does not chase [[Rayman]] during the whole level, but only makes short appearances and disappears after a certain distance.

Dark Rayman also makes appearances in the [[Rayman (GBC)|Game Boy Color version of the game]], in which he appears in a slightly different colour scheme; his shoes and gloves are yellow, and his skin is darker than [[Rayman]]'s. He is found towards the end of the game, in the [[Arcane Forest]]. Dark Rayman behaves in the same way as he did in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] - chasing, copying, and causing death upon touch. But he doesn't die if he manages to kill [[Rayman]], apart if the hero falls into a chasm.

When [[Rayman]] reaches the exit in the area, Dark Rayman doesn't disappear, like in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. And as he is never seen again in the game, his fate remains unknown.

It is possible to kill Dark Rayman in this game, by flying above a specific floor of red spikes.
