==Count Razoff's Mansion==

[[Image:Razoff's_mansion_smaller_byAcarr.PNG|left|thumb|The entrance to Razoff's mansion]]

Razoff's mansion is located in [[the Bog of Murk]]. It is very large and classical mansion with many statues inside including a statue of [[Sssssam]], [[piranha]]s and a statue of Razoff riding a [[Goaty]] (a scrapped character from the game). There are also several creatures to be found chained-up in his mansion; if [[Rayman]] frees ~~these creatures~~ they ~~give~~ him [[Red Lum]]s before flying away. Globox was ~~also~~ transported to the basement of Razoff's mansion ~~by accident,~~ when he was ~~seperayed~~ from Rayman ~~inthe~~ Teensie Highway. Also in the basement are a large ball and chain which Razoff attempts to kill Rayman with, a magic mirror similar to the one found in Begoniax's house, and a large creature with a hand for a head which Razoff was apparently keeping imprisoned, and who helps Rayman out in the battle by giving him Heavy Metal Fist power-ups and placing him back on the ~~stage~~ when he falls down.

There are also several bug-like creatures called [[Ugly|Uglies]] which can be found chained-up in his mansion; if [[Rayman]] frees the Uglies, they thank him by giving him [[Red Lum]]s before flying away. [[Globox]] was accidentally transported to the basement of Razoff's mansion when he was separated from Rayman in the [[Teensie Highway]]. Also in the basement are a large ball and chain which Razoff attempts to kill Rayman with, a magic mirror similar to the one found in Begoniax's house, and a [[Paluchard]], a large plesiosaur-like creature with a hand for a head which Razoff was apparently keeping imprisoned, and who helps Rayman out in the battle by giving him [[Heavy Metal Fist]] power-ups and placing him back on the platform when he falls down.

== Trivia ==

==Trivia==

* The name of Razoff's father, Count Zaroff, is a reference to the character General Zaroff from Richard Connell's 1924 novel ‘The Most Dangerous Game’. ‘Razoff’ is simply ‘Zaroff’ with the ‘Z’ and the ‘R’ switched. Nimrod, his grandfather, is named after a great biblical hunter. Artemis, his grandmother, is presumably named in reference to the Greek goddess of hunting.

* Razoff's father Count Zaroff is a reference to the character General Zaroff from Richard Connell's 1924 novel ~~"The~~ Most Dangerous ~~Game"~~. ~~Quiet obviously, Razoff~~ is simply ~~Zaroff~~ with the Z and the R switched. Nimrod, his grandfather, is a biblical ~~figure, a~~ hunter ~~and incredibly powerful figure~~.

* Razoff has several statues of [[Sssssam]] the snake in his mansion, hinting that Razoff has encountered, or at least knows of, the character. Most likely, Razoff has hunted Sssssam at some point. Whether or not he actually killed or captured Sssssam at some point between ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' is unknown; however, it should be noted that Razoff's obligation to capture an exotic prey does not yet seem to be fulfilled by the time of ''Rayman 3''.

* ~~The face that~~ Razoff has ~~a statue~~ of Sssssam the snake ~~confirms~~ that Razoff has ~~met~~, or at least knows of, the character, ~~and most likely means that he~~ has hunted Sssssam at some point. Whether or not he actually killed Sssssam at some point between Rayman 2 and 3 is unknown, ~~but possible as Sssssam~~'s ~~appearance in the handheld Rayman 3 may~~ not be ~~cannon, and if it is it could easily occur before~~ the ~~original~~ Rayman 3.
