Rabbid: Difference between revisions

In the main series, not much is known about where the Rabbids had originally come from. ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]'' suggests that they do not even know themselves. However, at an early point in the [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], [[Ly]] the Fairy explains that the Rabbids were once peaceful creatures in [[The Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]] that had gradually been bullied by other creatures, therefore going bad and taking their pain out on the entire world. The back cover of the main game also suggests that the Rabbids used to be peaceful but had turned bad, though the game doesn't explain how. This explanation of the Rabbids' origin was also used in official [[Ubisoft]] press releases regarding the [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype)|original ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' platformer]], before that game was scrapped. [[Michel Ancel]] stated in an interview that the Rabbids had been “preparing this assault since the [[Rayman 1|very first ''Rayman'' game]]”.

The Rabbids tend to change homes from time to time. In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', the Rabbids lived in a Colosseum to capture citizens of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'', they chose to live in a shopping mall to invade Earth. They later chose TV stations in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party]]'' to ruin Earth's television network. Then they lived in a junkyard in [[Rabbids Go Home]], to make a pile to the Moon. In ''[[Raving Rabbids Travel In Time]]'', they lived in a history museum to take over important parts of history.

Rabbids make their return to [[the Glade of Dreams]] in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''. They have the same appearance they had during the early ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' build. They appear during the game's [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|events]] as enemies, with their first appearance being in the Easter Event. During the events, a single Rabbid is placed on each level, sometimes hidden, and sometimes on the regular path. Their behavior varies from just standing in place to wandering around until they see the player and charge at them with their rolling pins. Upon defeating them with a single hit, the player is rewarded with 2 of the [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|events]]' collectibles, such as Easter Eggs, Beach Balls, Pumpkins, and Festive Decorations, which can be traded for the [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|events]] [[Lucky ticket|tickets]], the [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|events]]' [[Ancient Egg|Eggs]] that unlock exclusive seasonal [[Incrediball]]s, or the [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|events]]' special costume, such as the [[Rabbiteen]] costume. The Rabbid can respawn in the same level only if the player is able to beat it, or if some time passes.
