The '''Teensies''' (singular '''''Teensie''''' or '''''Teensy''''') are a magical race of ancient, diminutive and wise creatures, created by [[Polokus]] to watch over the secret ways of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. They are frequently encountered throughout the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], starting with ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. | The '''Teensies''' (singular '''''Teensie''''' or '''''Teensy''''') are a magical race of ancient, diminutive and wise creatures, created by [[Polokus]] to watch over the secret ways of [[the Glade of Dreams]].

{{quote|text=Crafty little wizards in an array of disguises. Teensies have got flair! The Teensies’ innate talent for nocturnal schnoz-ballads comes quite simply from [[Polokus|the Creator]] himself in the form of imposing noses. And bubble me if we haven’t seen the Teensies spin some wicked spells over the years! Their magnificent nostrils make them highly sensitive to the subtle harmonies of magic; and everyone knows Teensy magicians can sniff out the secrets of our world like nobody’s business! The Teensies are a cast of quick casters who have a proud history of producing many scrappy and memorable, not to mention well-dressed, fighters. (Teensies like to dress up and have treefuls of disguises.) You will be able to play as some of their most illustrious ancestors!|sign=Official site|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}} | |||
Teensies take a major role in the game [[Rayman Origins]]. There Teensies join Rayman as playable characters, though players can only choose two of them from the beginning of the game ([[Green Teensie]] and [[Goth Teensie]]), as the others can be unlocked after collecting a certain amount of [[Electoon]]s. While there are only 3 playable members of [[Globox's species]] and 3 playable members of [[Rayman's species]], Teensies seem to be the majority with 11 playable characters. | Teensies take a major role in the game [[Rayman Origins]].

Teensies make a return in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. Some returning Teensies such as the [[Grand Minimus]] and the [[Goth Teensy]] make a return as playable characters, but this time, many other Teensies (some of them being represented as generic [[Green Teensie]]s) take the role of victims who were caught by evil creatures, and up to ten of them must be be saved on each level by Rayman and his friends. These Teensies are scattered everywhere across the levels, and while some of them are easy to find, two Teensies, a King and a Queen are hidden in secret areas that require Rayman to beat certain tasks, like kicking a ball or jumping on platforms. Teensies assume the role of the [[Electoon]]s from [[Rayman 1| the original ''Rayman'' game]] and ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', in a similar way how they did in previous games like ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. This is the first Rayman game to fully introduce a wide variation of Teensy families, including females and children. | Teensies make a return in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.
