'''Murfy''' (sometimes spelt '''Murphy''', and known as '''JM Murphy''' in ''[[Rayman Arena]]'') is [[Rayman]]'s guide, sometimes referred to as his instructor or sidekick. He made his debut in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes (excluding the PlayStation version in which his role is taken by [[Ly]] the Fairy, and other [[greenbottle]]s are often found in [[cage]]s, and [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version]] where neither he nor his species appear). He later appears in ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' as a reporter, reprises his role as [[Rayman]]'s coach for a short while in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' (or the whole game in the case of [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]]), again in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']] and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He makes his debut as a playable character in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and reprises his playable role in ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. His nickname is ‘'''The Flying Encyclopedia'''’, and it is his job to provide as much information about the world to [[Rayman]] as he can, as well as teaching him how to train and perform his moves. In the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', his role is taken by [[Ly]] the Fairy, and other [[greenbottle]]s are often found in [[cage]]s. Murfy returns in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'' and ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', acting as a pointer if the player is playing with a controller or on an Apple TV.

In all versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' (except for the PlayStation and [[Rayman 2 Forever|Game Boy Color]] versions), Murfy seems to be an innocent character that serves as a guide for [[Rayman]], giving him instructions on how to pull off his moves while going through the [[Woods of Light]]. All around the world there are [[Stone of Thought|Stones of Thought]]. If [[Rayman]] stands next to one of these for a while and thinks, Murfy will come back to him and repeat his instructions.

Murfy later appears in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', and this time he carries a [[The Manual|Manual]] (a purple booklet with a picture of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]'s face on it and [[Rayman's symbol]] on the inside), which he reads from instead of passing his own knowledge to [[Rayman]]. He develops a more cocky personality than before, and often rants about how he is stuck with being a sidekick, as well as giving witty comments and sarcastic remarks about [[the Manual]] as [[Rayman]] goes through [[the Fairy Council]]. In this game, he is voiced by [[Billy West]], who had also voiced [[Rayman]] in ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series|The Animated Series]]'' four years earlier. Unlike ''[[Rayman 2]]'', in which he can appear anywhere in the game which has a [[Stone of Thought]], Murfy leaves the player at [[the Heart of the World]], promising to “See you in ''[[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|Rayman 4]]''!”.
