'''Uglette''' is a member of [[Globox's species]] who appears in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes, although she does not appear in [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color adaptation]]. She is the wife of [[Rayman]]'s best friend, [[Globox]]; together, they have [[Baby Globox|over 650 children]].

 

Uglette is a member of [[Globox's species|the same species]] as [[Globox]]; she looks very similar to him, except that she is pink whereas [[Globox]] is blue. In the PlayStation and [[Rayman 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Uglette also wears a pink bow, like [[Globette]] in ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', giving her a more distinctive appearance. [[The Knowledge of the World]] reveals that, along with [[Globox|her husband]], Uglette was dreamed up by [[Polokus]], who used his sense of humour in doing so.

 

In all versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', except in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', where she can be encountered earlier on, and ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', where she is completely absent, Uglette debuts in [[the Iron Mountains]], with one earlier mention by [[Globox|her husband]] during [[the Canopy]]. When [[Rayman]] is exploring [[the Iron Mountains]] after freeing [[Baby Globox|her children]] from the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children|reformatory]], he comes across Uglette, crying as [[Baby Globox|her babies]] have been imprisoned down the mines, and to make matters worse, [[Globox]] tried to stop the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]], but was captured too. [[Rayman]] tells her not to cry and takes a nearby [[warship]] through a flooded valley. He finds the four mines and takes the [[baby Globox]]es to safety in the ship. Uglette is overjoyed to see [[Baby Globox|her children]] safe and thanks [[Rayman]]. One of [[Baby Globox|the Globoxes]] then reveals that he found [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]] down the mines. Uglette wishes [[Rayman]] luck as he teleports back to [[the Hall of Doors]]. She is later seen at [[Rayman]]'s funeral with [[Globox]] and some of [[Baby Globox|their children]]. She celebrates with the others when it is revealed that he survived.

In [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'']], Uglette receives her first mention in [[the Canopy]] as before, but is mentioned further by the [[Teensie]]s after opening [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth mask]] door, when they tell [[Rayman]] that [[Baby Globox|her babies]] are held on the [[The Iron Mountains#PlayStation version|Gloomy Island]], the alternative name for [[the Iron Mountains]] in this version. When he reaches [[The Iron Mountains#PlayStation version|Gloomy Island]], [[Rayman]] encounters Uglette straight away, and promises to find [[Baby Globox|her babies]] in a similar scene to the original, with dialogue changed only to reflect the different setting. [[Rayman]] frees [[Baby Globox|the babies]] at [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children|the Reformatory]] (the mines are omitted) and they return to Uglette in a scene with a different setting but essentially identical to that in the original.

===In ''Rayman Revolution''===

In the Japanese version, her appearance was changed to suit the preferences of the Japanese market.<ref>Ubi Soft Divertissements inc. (via archive.org), ''Dossier spécial - La localisation chez Ubi Soft !'', https://web.archive.org/web/20010217082924/http://ubisoft.qc.ca/presse/presentations/localisation_p4.htm</ref> She is scaleless and her mouth is completely pink.

At one point, Uglette was intended to be a playable character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but she [[Rayman Origins (early production)|was not included in the final version of the game]]. Her only mention is in the above unused dialogue.

*The book ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'' erroneously claims that Uglette is playable in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' under the name of [[Red Globox]].<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 10 - Rayman's World</ref> In reality, this skin is [[Globox]]'s original color before he turned blue.
