Uglette: Difference between revisions

'''Uglette''' is a toad-like character who appears in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes. She is the wife of [[Rayman]]'s best friend, [[Globox]]; together, they have [[baby Globox|over 650 children]].

== Description ==

Uglette is a member of the same species as [[Globox]]; she looks very similar to him, except that she is pink whereas Globox is blue. In the PlayStation and [[Rayman 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''Rayman 2'', Uglette also wears a pink bow, giving her a more distinctive appearance. [[The Knowledge of the World]] reveals that, along with her husband, Uglette was dreamed up by [[Polokus]], who used his sense of humour in doing so.

Like her husband [[Globox]], Uglette has a friendly and cheerful personality, although she does not seem to share his cowardly nature. A maternal creature, she is very protective of [[baby Globox|her children]], and becomes distraught when Globox or the children are kidnapped by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s – a regular occurrence.

== Role in the games ==

=== ''Rayman 2'' ===

In all versions, except in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Uglette does not debut until in [[the Iron Mountains]], with the exception of one mention by [[Globox|her husband]] during [[The Canopy]]. When [[Rayman]] is exploring [[The Iron Mountains]] after freeing her children from the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children|reformatory]], he comes across Uglette, crying as her babies have been imprisoned down the mines. Rayman tells her not to cry and takes a nearby [[Warship|pirate ship]] through a flooded valley. He finds the four mines and takes the [[Baby Globox]]es to safety in the ship. Uglette is overjoyed to see her children safe and thanks Rayman. One of the Globoxes then reveals that he found the Fourth Mask down the mines. Uglette wishes Rayman luck as he teleports to [[Polokus]]' Island. She is later seen at Rayman's funeral with Globox and some of their children. She celebrates with the others when it is revealed that he survived.

==== PlayStation version ====

In the Playstation version she receives her first mention in [[the Canopy]] as before, but is mentioned further by the [[Teensie]]s after opening the fourth [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask]] door, when they tell [[Rayman]] that her [[Baby Globox|babies]] are held on the [[The Iron Mountains#PlayStation version|Gloomy Island]], the alternative name for [[the Iron Mountains]] in this version. When he reaches Gloomy Island, Rayman encounters Uglette straight away, and promises to find her babies in a similar scene to the original, with dialouge changed only to reflect the different setting. Rayman frees the babies at the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children|reformatory]] (the mines are omitted) and they return to Uglette in a scene with a different setting but essentially identical to that in the original.

==== ''Rayman Revolution'' ====

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Uglette is portrayed as living in [[Globox's House]], near a cliff on [[the Front]]. She can be optionally encountered here as soon as [[Rayman]] can access it after [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]] and will either thank Rayman for his efforts or despair over her husband's imprisonment depending on the stage of the game the player is at. She is still mentioned in [[the Canopy]], and still appears at [[the Pirate Mines]], now a seperate level from [[the Iron Mountains]]. Instead of the [[Four Masks of Polokus|fourth Mask]], the [[baby Globox]] will give Rayman the [[Rain Mask]] at this point, giving Rayman the ability to perform the [[Rain Dance]], and Uglette will give him a brief description of its use, before leaving with her children.

In the Japanese version she doesn't have any scales and her mouth is completely pink.

=== Rayman Origins ===

{{quote|text=Ah! Uglette! How are [[baby Globox|your 650 kids]]? And [[Globox|that handful of a hubby]]...! I don't know how you do it...! A little love tap from time to time should keep Globox in line. Mom power!|sign=[[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]'' (unused dialogue)}}

At one point, Uglette was intended to be a playable character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but she was not included in the final version of the game. Her only mentioning if the unused dialogue.
