I think all UbiArt games have them, right?

Rayman was originally designed to simply be an athletic character with a full body, but because of complications rendering on game consoles, he was left without arms, legs and a neck – his hands, feet and head float around his body. The manual of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' provides an in-universe explanation for Rayman's limblessness: the lack of [[Lum]]s had the consequence of preventing the creation of his limbs. He has a huge, round nose and orange hair divided into two fronds (three in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]). He has the ability to use his hair as a [[helicopter]], which lets him glide across large spaces and make soft landings. His eyes are dark blue in colour, though in most official artwork they are coloured black; two pictures in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] showed him with lighter blue eyes. While Rayman is unique in most of the games, other members of [[Rayman's species|his unnamed species]] are seen in [[Rayman 1|the original game]] - such as [[The Magician (Rayman 1)|the Magician]], [[Tarayzan]], [[the Musician]] and the Musician's wife and child - and in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and its spin-offs.

Rayman is almost always seen in white gloves and wearing a purple hoodie with [[Rayman's symbol|a mysterious white ring in the center]], through which he gains new powers from [[Betilla]] the Fairy. [[Rayman's symbol|The symbol]] can also absorb the [[Silver Lum]]s created by the [[Fairy|fairies]], and magically open the pillars containing the [[Four Masks of Polokus]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Up until ''[[Rayman 3]]'', he wore a red neckerchief, which was then replaced with a red hood. He also wears shoes that are typically yellow and white, though the actual designs have changed throughout [[Rayman (series)|the series]]. In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', he wears different clothing that has raised a few questions about his ‘limblessness’, as he sometimes looks as if he has knees, such as the [[Skin#Rayman Raving Rabbids|disco costume]] with its trousers/pants. From ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' onward, his ''[[Rayman 3]]'' attire has been used, but with a slightly different hood and shoes. In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', he wears a new attire. He wears a red bandanna around his hair, a sleeveless brown coat unbuttoned around the bottom alongside his red hood, revealing a white shirt, and has a brown belt around his waist with a gold buckle. His gloves are now brown and fingerless, and his shoes are the same kind [[Assassin Ray]] wears.
