Tough guy swinging the scythe over there guards the way into the Land of the Livid Dead... He's a vain old fellow, you know?... Get him some shiny new Skull Teeth, like this one: , and he may let you into the dark realms...

—The Magician, Rayman Origins

The Grim Reaper is a creature who guards the Land of the Livid Dead's entrace in Rayman Origins. Is unknown if he has an alliance with the grannies or the other livid dead creatures. Unlike the goth teensie, who's job is (according to the Bubble Dreamer) not to let the livid dead escape, the Grim Reaper's job is not letting anyone in.

Appearance

The Grim Reaper is a skeleton-like creature, with an enormous skull, which is big enough to cover the entrace to the Land of the Livid Dead. He has several bandages on his head and a black eye, suggesting that possibly something or somebody hurt him and made him lose all of his teeth. He wears a brown robe and holds a scythe in his right hand.

Role in the game

The Grim Reaper appears at the Snoring Tree's left corner, protecting the door that gives access to the Land of the Livid Dead, an optional level. When the heroes appear, he waves his reaping hook in a threatening manner, but shortly after they come close to him, he quickly runs and hides, covering the entrace with his big head. The heroes have to redeem him by collecting 10 Skull Teeth for his toothless mouth. When all of the Skull Teeth are collected and put on the Grim Reaper's mouth, he drops his reaping hook, applauses happily, and lets the heroes pass. After that, the Grim Reaper is never seen at the Snoring Tree again.
