The Grand Dark Rayman Taxonomy

With the release of Rayman Adventures, we've been dealing with yet another Rayman clone, by the name of Shadow Ray. We've already discussed this somewhat in the past, but I think we need to come to a verdict as to how we're doing this, as we're well in need of updating RayWiki to have information on Adventures, and putting this off only hinders our efforts. -- 00:13, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Physically, Shadow Ray is identical to the Dark Rayman of RL (who isn't always surrounded by a purple aura: When he is at the top of a painting, he doesn't create it).
If the developers wanted to distinguish Shadow Ray from the Dark Ray of RL, I don't think they would have use the same sprite. They wanted to create a playable version of this enemy.
Despite this, why did they call him "Shadow Ray" in RA, and not "Dark Rayman" like they did in RL? Unfortunately, we don't have the answer to that question...
From a lore point of view, it's very confusing: Originally, Dark Ray was a mindless evil clone created by a spell. But between RL and RA, he manages to become a good being in the flesh with a mind and a passion for old movies. Although it's confusing, it isn't crazy: Everything is possible in the Glade of Dreams. We don't have any official explanation, so everyone can speculate on the reasons. Maybe he changed his nature after his "defeat" in RL, or maybe it's Polokus who gave a real life to him.
