'''Grand Minimus''' is a name associated with the ruler of the [[Teensie]]s. The term can either refer to a tribe of [[Teensie]] kings, a title given to one specific [[Teensie]] king, or a proper name for an individual [[Teensie]]. They first appear in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' to oversee [[the Hall of Doors]], [[the Isle of Doors]] or the [[Teensie Circle]]s in different versions of the game. They are playable characters in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Kart]]'', ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and [[Rayman Legends Retold|its remake]], ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', and ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''.

==Description==

The Grand Minimus was originally the title of the sole king of the [[Teensie]]s. However, after [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] locked the Grand Minimus up in a small [[cage]] with three other [[Teensie]]s presumably of relation to the King (such as friends, advisors, relatives, etc.; their relation is never given) in [[the Woods of Light]], the [[Teensie]]s eventually came to forget which one of them was the King. In fact, not even the King himself could remember.

The Grand Minimus was originally the title of the sole king of the [[Teensie]]s, a concept that later games such as ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' return to. However, after [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]] locked the Grand Minimus up in a small [[cage]] with three other [[Teensie]]s presumably of relation to the King (such as friends, advisors, relatives, etc.; their relation is never given) in [[the Woods of Light]], the [[Teensie]]s eventually came to forget which one of them was the King. In fact, not even the King himself could remember.

All of the Minimus wear refined green robes, and at least one has a tall crown on his head. As seen in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', the Grand Minimus have a talkative personality and enjoy gossiping about recent news. Also, it is seen in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that the Minimus have a taste for disco, and enjoy the company of a disco ball and many other disco-loving subjects in their chamber, dancing day and night.

Like with other [[Teensie]]s in this game, his eyes are bigger and his teeth are made more realistic. This game refers to the term "Grand Minimus" as a singular name rather than as a title. Unlike in the original game, he has full lines of dialogue.
