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.

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 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]].

He very athletic and shows great gymnastic skills, especially since ''Rayman 2''. | |||
All versions of Rayman himeslf can perform tricks such as somersaults, though mostly seen in Rayman1 and Rayman3, as well as promotional pictures and trailers for all games,He is also strong enough to carry things such as [[plum]]s and explosive kegs. | |||
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. | |||

Rayman's | No game (or other parts of the Rayman franchise) show the whole of Rayman's personality, however | ||
there is a full descrition of Rayman that is contained in some Rayman2 manuals. | |||
"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." (May vary or be replaced depending on version.) | |||
Rayman, though not officially stated is quite visably a laid back, relaxed character in all versions of himself, ofen seen reclining in official pictures. | |||
One thing rarely known, despite the evidence and the fact that it's stated in the official description (quoted above), Rayman's also playful and energetic, seen in early offiicial pictures (think Rayman1) to be frolicking, he's also genrally active in trailers and the [[Rayman TV series]]and with little tire from activity. | |||
