'''Globox''' is a major character who first appeared in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. He lives near [[the Canopy]] in an area aptly named [[Globox's House]], as seen in ''[[Rayman Revolution|Rayman 2: Revolution]]''. In most games, he is portrayed as [[Rayman]]'s best friend.

==Appearance==

'''Globox''' is a major character in the ''Rayman'' series, who makes his début in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', followed with major roles in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' and many handheld games. He is [[Rayman]]'s best friend and has been since before the game even began, though how they exactly came to meet is currently unknown.

Globox resembles a ~~large~~ obese amphibian with ~~webbed feet~~ and long thin arms, his ~~lower body resembles a penguin~~ (~~especially~~ in ~~rayman 3~~) and he ~~walks with~~ a ~~penguin like waddle~~. In his ~~debut~~ he is ~~cerulean~~ in ~~colour with~~ a ~~pale yellow belly and hands~~, ~~though~~ in his ~~later appearances he comes more blue~~ in ~~colour~~.

==Character description==

===Appearance===

Globox resembles a giant, obese amphibian, and is blue-green in colour with a pale yellow belly and hands. While the rest of his body is fat and heavy, he has long thin arms, webbed feet and small eyes. He is noticeably taller than most of the people of the Glade, with the exception of [[Ly the Fairy]] and [[Clark]] the Giant, and he has a extremely large mouth, which he often uses to store things such as [[Silver Lum]]s, as can his children.

===Abilities===

Physically, Globox is quite strong, and provided that he has the confidence to (under the influence of [[plum juice]] in ''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge''), he can inflict a strong blow on enemies, namely [[Hoodlum]]s. Unfortunately, he is allergice to plum juice, and when André was inside his stomach, he would force Globox to drink some and then suffer from its effects, which includes getting drunk and burping out giant, bouncy bubbles. At an early point in ''Rayman 3'', he realises that he can swim, but he doesn't realise that he has enough energy to swim upwards on an entire waterfall. All versions of ''Rayman M'' suggest that he can run as fast as the others, despite his weight, but elsewhere he tends to walk slowly.

Globox has the power to form rainclouds, albeit small ones that draw enough rain to grow a plant quickly, put out fires and to rust a [[Robo-Pirate]] as self defence. Most other species would have to use a Rain Mask, which one of his children gives to Rayman at a later point in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.

===Personality===

Globox is generally a warm and friendly character and a proud father, though simple and very shy. Having been captured at least once in ''Rayman 2'', he has grown an irrational fear of the Robo-Pirates, and often when he senses that they are near, he will run away and hide (notable in [[the Canopy]]), until he is sure that Rayman had destroyed them all. Similarly, he displays this fear in ''Rayman 3'', this time of the Hoodlums and their attacks, unless he's under the influence of plum juice.

In ''Rayman 2'', Globox spoke in broken English in a deep voice, but by the time ''Rayman 3'' set in, his voice had become much higher, and spoke in much better English.

==Biography==

Globox was originally called Globber, a name ~~which~~ he passed down to one of his children ~~before changing his name~~. ~~He has a very large family, and together~~ with his ~~wife~~ [[Uglette]] ~~they have produced over~~ 650 children, ~~most~~ of ~~which are male.~~

Globox and his family were supposedly created by [[Polokus]] as part of the non-magical People, as a result of the spirit's sense of humour. He was originally called "Globber", a name that he had now passed down to one of his children in order to rename himself. Together with his mate, [[Uglette]], he is the proud father of 650 small children at the last count. In ''Rayman Revolution'', it was revealed that he and his family live in a tree house near the Canopy. though in the Dreamcast version of ''Rayman 2'', they live in a secret location near the [[Woods of Light]] called the [[Globox Village]].

~~==Roles~~ in the ~~Games==~~

==Videogame appearances==

[[Image:GloboxIntro.jpg|thumb|Globox's first appearance in-game.]]

===''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''===

In his first appearance, Globox plays the role of a general sidekick. Following his capture and being thrown into the same cell as Rayman on the Prison Ship, he gives him a [[Silver Lum]] from Ly to break out. After taking a very large fall from the sky, Globox is separated and from then on is only seen from time-to-time.

====''[[Rayman 2: Revolution]]''====

~~[[Image:GloboxIntro.jpg|thumb|Globox's first appearence in-game.]]~~

Though Globox's primary roles in ''Revolution'' were similar to those in ''Rayman 2'', a few new elements were added. In ''Revolution'', Globox does not grant Rayman the ability to shoot his [[Magic Fist]], but instead simply allows Rayman to punch. Globox's [[Globox's House|house]], children, and relation with [[Uglette]] are depicted in a larger scale; [[Globox's Daughter|one of his daughters]] is an important character later in the game, Uglette is constantly seen worrying about Globox, and his cliffside house's acres of land are the setting for one half of the second part of the game. Globox joins Rayman on a few occasions in a fashion similar to [[Clark]] or Globox's role in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. Globox must be taken past [[Whale Bay]] to use his [[Rain Dance]] so as to enable entry to [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]].

===''[[Rayman M]]''/''[[Rayman Rush]]''===

In ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', Globox is one of the initially available characters.

===''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''===

Globox remains physically similar to his original appearance, though had become a comedic sidekick for his next appearance. Globox plays a major plot role, having swallowed Andre accidentally and having to find a doctor who would find a solution to remove Andre from Globox during the first half of the game. During this time, Globox is forced to drink [[plum juice]], despite allergies, and during a somewhat drunken state, he gains special abilities for short periods of time that are needed to progress through the game or move Globox forward through the level (by floating). Through the second half he plays a lesser role, though tends to follow Rayman on their journey. He is notably voice acted by actor John Leguizamo.

===''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''===

In ''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge,'' Globox follows Rayman through much of the game, similar to Rayman 3. Globox is also a playable character in some levels. Often times there will be a puzzle-like sequence of events that requires the player to use both Rayman and Globox to move forward in the level. As Andre has been consumed once more, Globox can use the effects of [[plum juice]] to do certain things to move on in the stage, such as breaking metal bars.
