Rayman is a typical [[Raymanian]] and as such he has no arms, legs or a neck - his hands, feet and head float around his body.  He has a huge round nose, and has strawberry blonde hair which he divides into two (three in ''Rayman 1'') fronds that are held up to resemble ears.  He often uses this as a [[helicopter]], and sometimes to fly whenever he is able to.  His eyes are dark blue in colour, though in most official artwork they are coloured black.

Rayman is almost always seen in white gloves and a purple shirt with a white ring on the chest, which absorbs energy from the Fairies and connects to the altars of the [[Four Masks of Polokus]].  Up until ''Rayman 3'', he wears a red neckerchief, which was later replaced with a hood.  He also wears shoes that are typically yellow, though the actual designs change throughout the series.  ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' is mostly where he is seen wearing different clothing that sometimes looks like he has knees, such as the Disco costume.

Rayman is a very laid back character, as he is often seen snoozing either on a hammock or up against a tree, but he is also very athletic and shows great gymnastic skills, especially since ''Rayman 2''.    he is also strong enough to carry things such as [[plum]]s. However, he started out as a poor swimmer, as in the original ''Rayman'' he would lose a life the instant he'd fall into any body of liquid, but he soon develops this skill fast by the time ''Rayman 2'' is set in.  In ''Rayman Revolution'' he is taught this by Murfy and a Baby Globox.   
All versions Rayman himself can perform many acrobatic moves such as somersaults, but only Rayman1 and Rayman3 show this in the games, for other games they're only in promotional pictures or trailers.

===Personality===
===Personality===
Rayman's personality is not completely revealed in any game, and there is only one full discription of Rayman which dates back to Rayman2...
Rayman's true personality isn't very well looked into throughout the series, though most of the time he is a cheerful character with a good sense of humour. He is also very helpful, and is willing to take on whatever challenges face him for the sake of the safety and harmony of his world. Sometimes he can be a little childish, especially in ''Rayman 1'', as he often pulls grimaces for whatever reason. Lately though he has become somewhat self absorbed, especially in ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'', as the [[Rabbid]]s start to treat him like a celebrity during his captivity, though he remembers and worries about the baby Globoxes that he left behind.                         
"Rayman is a unique character of unknown origin,
 
no wise man or magician can say by what twist of fate or whim of the gods Rayman came to appear at the Glade of Dreams.
Rayman was first found by fisherman, Washed up by 'the sea of lums.'
On a particularly stormy night, they found Rayman sleeping peacefully under the shade of a palm tree.
Frightened by this strange creature from the sea, they called on the people of the forest, the skies and the waters for help.
And the sun had not yet reached the zenith when a host of beings, each one more bizarre than the rest, came tumbling over the violent sand dunes.
They studied him for a long time. "What kind of creature Is this?" they asked each other. "Is he alive?" wondered one when Rayman stretched and yawned.
It didn't take Rayman long to convince the people of the Glade of Dreams of his good intentions.
His energy and good humor, his fantastical powers and love for life and nature won over even the most distrustful of the beings.
And when he triumphed over the evil Mr. Dark, the truth was undeniable - Rayman was the bravest of them all, the ideal hero,
the man for whom friendship and laughter are more important than anything else, for whom the greatest victory is measured by the extent
of celebrations that follow it." (this may vary or be replaced with another description according to game version.)
Not stated officially, but Rayman is visably a laid back character throughout the whole series, and is often seen reclining in official pictures.
One thing rarely known about Rayman is that he's also playful and energetic, it is said in hs official profile (quoted above) and his is sometimes seen frolicking in earlier official images (think Rayman1),
and s genrally very active in The [[Rayman TV series]] and Rayman trailers.
