The '''Nymphs''' are a group of [[fairy|fairies]] who appear in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. They make their most prominent appearance in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The Head Nymph, [[Betilla the Fairy|Betilla]], also appears in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]; the other nymphs are her sisters. In ''Rayman Origins'', Betilla is shown levitating in a stone circle in [[Pink Plant Woods|the Primordial Forest]], a location from the original game. With her hands she gathers rays of moonlight and weaves them into a glowing orb, which solidifies to form [[Rayman]] – this is the origin [[the Knowledge of the World|hinted at]] in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. Rayman is intended to preserve the equilibrium of the universe, but unfortunately the newly-created Rayman is immature and has yet to become the hero depicted in the other games. He quickly meets [[Globox]], and sets out on his first adventure. Betilla narrates this entire sequence as though the events depicted in the game occurred long ago.

The head nymph, [[Betilla]], also appears in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]; the other nymphs are her younger sisters. The first trailer for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' shows a flashback in which [[Betilla]] is levitating in a stone circle in [[Pink Plant Woods|the Primordial Forest]], a location from the original game. With her hands she gathers rays of moonlight and weaves them into a glowing orb, which solidifies to form [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] was created by the nymphs to preserve the equilibrium of the universe from the nightmares of [[Polokus]].Their role in the game is to provide new powers to [[Rayman]] and his friends when rescued from a [[Antitoon|Darktoon]]'s mouth.
 
== Appearance ==
While they all seem to look different in their own way, they do share some similarities: with the exception of the [[Big Mama|Death Fairy]], they all have small transparent fairy-like wings, hats and curvy bodies.

[[File:Scrapped Nymph RO.png|200px|thumb|right|The [[scrapped nymph]]]]
 
*All of the nymphs speak Pig Latin in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', a trait which is shared with the [[Magician]] and the [[Flaming Teensy]].
*It seems that the nymphs at one point were going to have each one their own animation when rescued, this was shown in a demo played by [[Michel Ancel]].
*There also a [[scrapped nymph]] that was intended to appear in the game. It mostly resembles [[Betilla]] but wears some sort of airline hostess uniform. It is unknown what would have been her role in the game.
*With the exceptions of [[Betilla]] and the [[Big Mama|Death Fairy]], all of the nymphs' names are puns on something; [[Holly Luya]] is a pun on "hallelujah", [[Edith Up]] is a pun on "eat it up", [[Annetta Fish]] is a pun on "a net of fish", and [[Helena Handbasket]] is a pun on "hell in a handbasket".
