Sssssam is a purple serpent who dwells in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], acting as a ferryman for [[the Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]'s inhabitants. He has a disproportionately large head compared to his thin body. The body itself appears to be no longer than [[Rayman]]'s height; however, he is never seen in full – only his head, part of his neck and occasionally the tip of his tail are ever actually visible, as he always partially submerged in the water of the Marshes. As a result, it is impossible to gauge just how long he might be, though he is small enough to fit inside a [[Robo-Pirate army|Robo-Pirate]] [[cage]]. | Sssssam is a purple serpent who dwells in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], acting as a ferryman for [[the Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]'s inhabitants.

Sssssam speaks with heavy emphasis on sybilants, not unlike a stereotypical cartoon snake. | Sssssam speaks with heavy emphasis on sybilants, not unlike a stereotypical cartoon snake. | ||

In ''Rayman 2'' and its remakes, Sssssam is first found by [[Rayman]] in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], imprisoned in a [[Robo-Pirate army|pirate]] [[cage]]. Upon being freed by Rayman, Sssssam stretches and agrees to take Rayman across the Marshes, as he had seen the [[Pirate]]s take Globox in that direction. On the other side, Sssssam bids Rayman farewell and asks Rayman to make a point of visiting again. From this it would seem that he is very lonely, possibly having no friends within the Marshes. | In ''Rayman 2'' and its remakes, Sssssam is first found by [[Rayman]] in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], imprisoned in a [[Robo-Pirate army|pirate]] [[cage]].

In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 2'']], Sssssam appears with a much smaller role, appearing only at the end of the first level of the Marshes of Awakening (although he can be seen again with the rest of the cast at the end of the game) In this version, he simply lets Rayman ride across the marsh on his head, rather than waterski. He is never named in this game. | In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 2'']], Sssssam appears with a much smaller role, appearing only at the end of the first level of the Marshes of Awakening (although he can be seen again with the rest of the cast at the end of the game) In this version, he simply lets Rayman ride across the marsh on his head, rather than waterski.

In this alternative version of ''Rayman 3'', Sssssam is first found in the [[Swamps of Begoniax]], this time uncaptured, where Rayman asks [[Ly the Fairy]] for directions to find [[Globox]]. He then allows Rayman to waterski through the swamps in a similar fashion to ''Rayman 2''. | In this alternative version of ''Rayman 3'', Sssssam is first found in the [[Swamps of Begoniax]], this time uncaptured, where Rayman asks [[Ly the Fairy]] for directions to find [[Globox]].

Ssssaam makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' as one of [[Count Razoff]]'s statues. A developer referred to these statues as Razoff's ‘finest catches’ in a [[RaymanZone]] interview, indicating that Razoff had captured Sssssam at some point. | Ssssaam makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' as one of [[Count Razoff]]'s statues.
