'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nenuphar Nenuphars]''' are a type of flower found throughout the [[Rayman]] series, though most notably in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. These flowers usually serve as platforms, and are recognisable by their dangling, tail-like stems and their ability to float. Their appearance varies considerably from game to game, but these characteristics always remain intact. | '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nenuphar Nenuphars]''' are a type of flower found throughout the [[Rayman]] series, though most notably in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]].

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], there are two types of nenuphars, both of which are found in [[the Dream Forest]]. The first type of nenuphar is large and stable, and can be used as a platform (they sometimes move back and forth, or up and down). The second type of nenuphar is smaller and does not move; this type is incapable of supporting [[Rayman]]'s weight. If he steps on one, it will quickly sink, often leading Rayman to his death. There is one small nenuphar found in [[Moskito's Nest]] which, uniquely, rises when stood on, instead of sinking. In the PlayStation and Saturn versions, the small nenuphars that sink when Rayman stands on them have red bowties. In all other versions, they have pink bowties, like the large nenuphars. | In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], there are two types of nenuphars, both of which are found in [[the Dream Forest]].

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', [[Rayman]] rides what appear to be nenuphars in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]. They are large, pink, flying flowers with tentacle-like vines on their undersides. These nenuphars are shown to be vulnerable to fire. | In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', [[Rayman]] rides what appear to be nenuphars in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]].
