'''Murfy''' is a character who made his debut in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', and later appears in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. He serves as a flying encyclopedia, and it is his job to provide as much information about the world to Rayman as he can, as well as teaching him how to train and perform his moves. In the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'' he does not do this, as it seems that a number of his kind are prisoners found in cages. | '''Murfy''' (sometimes spelled as '''Murphy''') is a character who made his debut in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', and later appears in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''.

== | ==Character Description== | ||
Murfy is a small flying creature with a green head, and despite his frog-like appearance, he is actually a [[greenbottle]], a sort of fly, as revealed in the instruction booklet of ''Rayman 3''. He always sports a huge cheesy grin showing large teeth, and is always dressed in green, yellow and purple clothes, almost identical of that of the [[Grand Minimus]] [[Teensie]]s. In his appearance in ''Rayman 3'' he had undergone a number of changes, such as his hands and eyes which are now much bigger than in ''Rayman 2'', and his wings have become more fly-like. His clothes have also been slightly changed, notably his shoes which are elf-like. He also appears to have fingers and legs now, unlike the previous game. | Murfy is a small flying creature with a green head, and despite his frog-like appearance, he is actually a [[greenbottle]], a sort of fly, as revealed in the instruction booklet of ''Rayman 3''.

All around the world there are [[Stone of Thought|Stones of Thought]]. If Rayman stands next to one of these for a while and thinks, Murfy will come back to him and repeat his instructions. | ||

Murfy's job as an instructor is a little more looked into at the beginning of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', as there is an extra stage after the Woods of Light in which he teaches Rayman how to swim and how to shoot, using a scarecrow as his first target. | Murfy's job as an instructor is a little more looked into at the beginning of ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', as there is an extra stage after the Woods of Light in which he teaches Rayman how to swim and how to shoot, using a scarecrow as his first target. | ||

Murfy later appears in ''Rayman 3'', and this time he carries a manual (a purple booklet with a picture of the original Rayman's face on it), which he reads from instead of passing his own knowledge to Rayman. He develops a more cocky personality than before, and often rants about how he is stuck with being a sidekick, as well as giving witty comments and sarcastic remarks about the Manual as Rayman goes through the [[The Fairy Council|Fairy Council]]. In this game, he is voiced by Billy West, who had also voiced Rayman in the [[Rayman: The Animated Series|Animated Series]] four years earlier. Unlike ''Rayman 2'', in which he can appear anywhere in the game which has a Stone of Thought, Murfy leaves at the [[The Heart of the World|Heart of the World]]. | |||
