The '''grimace''' is [[Rayman]]'s initial line of defence, which he has been capable of right from the beginning of [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. To grimace, [[Rayman]] stretches his mouth wide with his hands, sticks out his tongue, rolls his eyes and makes a gurgling sound with his throat. The power's functions vary from game to game.

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], the only use for this power is to scare the [[Livingstone|tall Livingstone]]s; when they see the grimace, they are driven mad with fear and start to run uncontrollably, usually killing themselves by falling into water. In the first part of [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]], the grimace is temporarily replaced by the [[Magic Seed]] which [[Rayman]] receives from [[Tarayzan]]. When he defeats [[Mr Stone]] in [[Mr Stone's Peaks]], [[Betilla]] grants him [[Running|the power to run]], which permanently replaces the grimace in all versions except [[Rayman DSi|the Nintendo DSi version]].

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', [[Gumsi]] uses [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]] to grant [[Rayman]] this power after he defeats [[Reflux]] in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]]. [[Rayman]] can then use this power to convert [[Black Lum]]s back into [[Red Lum]]s by making them laugh after defeating their [[Hoodlum]] costumes. It is known as ‘The Power of [[the Leptys]]’ in this game. A promotional statue to ''[[Rayman 3]]'' which recreates the grimace artwork was done in a limited number to hundreds of units worldwide, very few containing a box and an artwork book with conceptual art of the game.

Much like in the Dreamcast, [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape (iOS)|iOS]] and [[Rayman 3D|3DS]] versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] does not use the grimace to any practical effect, nor can it be willingly triggered by the player, it plays as an idle animation if the player does not give an input for some time. [[Rayman]] can also be seen using the grimace to taunt [[Jano]] prior to their fight.

The grimace behaves identically to how it did in [[Rayman 3 (GBA)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], where it will trigger as an idle animation.
