'''Bégoniax''' is a boss character who first appears in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. She is a stout, red-haired, dark-skinned sadomasochist witch who wears a cauldron on her head. She lives in a hut in [[the Bog of Murk]]. She also appears as a boss in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', in the [[Begoniax Bayou]]. She is obsessed with her own appearance, and her failed attempts to brew the ultimate beauty potion have left her both insane and hideous. It is unknown what she looked like before she began experimenting with these potions. When the men Bégoniax falls in love with reject her, she subjects them to her love potion, which transforms them into [[toad]]s. She then breeds with these [[toad]]s, producing so many tadpoles that she no longer knows what to do with them.

==In ''[[Rayman 3]]''==

While Bégoniax is using an outhouse in the swamp near her home, [[Rayman]] suddenly falls in through its roof. (The first [[Teensie doctor]], [[Otto Psi]], had tried to teleport him to the office of the second doctor, [[Roméo Patti]], in [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]], but the [[Teensie Highway]] had been broken, causing [[Rayman]] to fall into [[the Bog of Murk]].) Bégoniax mistakenly thinks that [[Rayman]] is spying on her. She calls him a pervert and storms off to her house, muttering angrily under her breath as [[Rayman]] tries to apologise, saying that he didn't mean to. [[Rayman]] then enters her home, where she challenges him to a fight around a huge cauldron full of a hot green love potion that temporarily turns anyone who touches it into a [[toad]]. In their [[toad]] forms, [[Rayman]] and Bégoniax are notably slower, and the latter is less resistant, taking on a third more damage than in her normal form.

After the fight, she runs to her magic mirror, and stands on a tall chair in front of it, mockingly calling out to [[Rayman]]. When [[Rayman]] steps through the mirror, he finds himself teleported to another region of [[The Bog of Murk|the Bog]], where he eventually encounters and defeats [[Razoff|Count Razoff]] in his mansion. Bégoniax then appears in [[Razoff]]'s dungeon, possibly having come there via [[Razoff]]'s own magic mirror. It is then revealed that Bégoniax is infatuated with [[Razoff]]; she is seen holding and caressing him, with [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] witnessing. Unfortunately [[Razoff]] does not reciprocate her feelings, and repeatedly tells her to let go as he tries to struggle free of her grip. She then carries him off. It is unknown what happens to [[Razoff]] immediately afterwards.

In the minigame [[Crush]], which takes place after the events of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', Bégoniax has cast a spell on [[Razoff|Count Razoff]]'s dungeon, causing [[toad]]s to start multiplying within it. It is implied that these toads are Bégoniax's transformed lovers, or perhaps their offspring. The player must help [[Razoff]] to crush the [[toad]]s with his wrecking ball. One of the [[toad]]s is apparently a transformed Bégoniax, as it looks identical to how Bégoniax appears when [[Rayman]] splashes her own [[toad]] potion on her in their fight. However, this [[toad]] appears multiple times during the minigame, even after being crushed repeatedly, indicating that Bégoniax is not actually killed here.

In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], the character of Bégoniax is omitted, along with many others. However, a level is named after her: [[Swamp of Bégoniax]]. The character is also directly referenced in the level by [[Rayman]], who wonders if [[Globox]] might have gone to Bégoniax's marshes.

===In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''===

[[File:RHR-Begoniax Bayou.png|frame|left|class=sprite|Bégoniax in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''.]]

Bégoniax is encountered once more in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', in the level [[Begoniax Bayou]]. This boss fight is very similar to the one in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', though it takes place in a more open environment rather than circling a cauldron.

==Early plot==

During the [[Rayman 3 (early production)|early development of ''Rayman 3'']], the plot was that [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]], flying over [[the Bog of Murk]] on the [[Wooglah]], take a crash landing after the giant bird gets wounded. Searching for help to heal the wound, [[Rayman]] finds Bégoniax, who offers him to help if he finds the beauty potion she is looking for on the other side of the marsh. [[Rayman]] goes through the mirror and finds [[Ssssam]], then crosses the marsh and enters [[Razoff]]'s mansion. Upon being defeated, the hunter starts crying, and one of his teardrops falls on a nearby [[Ugly]], which then turns into a butterfly-like creature. It is then revealed that his tears are in fact the elixir of beauty, which Bégoniax uses on herself, allowing [[Razoff]] to fall in love with her. To thank him, the witch and the hunter promise to take care of the [[Wooglah]], and show him the way to [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]].
