Tarayzan: Difference between revisions

==In ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''==

[[Rayman]] first meets Tarayzan in a rainy area that is the first part of [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]], the third level in [[the Dream Forest]]. Tarayzan has lost his toga after getting it caught on a branch, and is now hiding behind a bush, embarrassed at his nakedness. He can be seen murmuring and pointing awkwardly at his clothing. When [[Rayman]] jumps up and [[telescopic fist|punches]] the toga, it falls and flutters down to Tarayzan, who puts it back on and is now able to leave the shelter of the bush. As an expression of his gratitude for [[Rayman]], Tarayzan gives [[Rayman]] a [[magic seed]], which can be used repeatedly to grow huge flowers. Tarayzan then yodels and leaps back up amongst the trees. When [[Rayman]] first plants the [[magic seed]], a rising flood (accompanied by morbid music) starts, and [[Rayman]] must use the [[magic seed|seed]] repeatedly in order to ascend to the [[exit sign]] and escape the water.

Tarayzan is seen again in the game's epilogue screen, where he is celebrating [[Rayman]]'s victory along with all of the other friendly characters. He later goes on holiday with the other characters, and is seen on a beach with [[Rayman]] and [[Joe|Joe the Extra-Terrestrial]] in one of the photographs displayed during the end credits.

==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]''==

Tarayzan! [[Rayman|Ray]]'s cuz from way back...whenever! Glad to see you didn't lose your leopard skin this time round.. Awk-ward...|sign=[[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]'' (unused dialogue)}}

Tarayzan was going to be an unlockable [[List of Heroes|skin]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', but he was removed from the final game. The [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] refers to him as [[Rayman]]'s ‘cuz’, though it is not clear if this is meant to denote a literal kinship. If Tarayzan is [[Rayman]]'s cousin, he was presumably created by one of [[Betilla the Fairy|Betilla]]'s [[nymph]] sisters; the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] mentions that they have cooked up other ‘recipes’ than [[Rayman]]. Repeated reference is also made to events in [[the Swamps of Forgetfulness]], including the incident with the leopard-skin and the [[magic seed]]s.
