Rayman is partly humanoid, though for a generally unknown reason he has no arms, legs or a neck - his hands, feet and head float around his body. He has a huge nose, similar to that of French comic character Asterix, and generally has blend of blonde and red hair, shaped into two fronds that are used as a helicopter (this became spikier as the series went on). He is normally dressed in a purple shirt that has a white ring on the chest, yellow and white trainers, white gloves, and a red neckerchief or hood, depending on the era. Certain pictures show his eyes being dark blue in colour.
Rayman is the main character in the Rayman universe. He is the creation of French game designer Michel Ancel, and has become a popular and recognisable video games character over the past decade.
