Globox resembles a giant, | Globox resembles a giant, fat amphibian, and is blue-green in colour with a pale yellow belly and hands. While the rest of his body is fat and heavy, he has long thin arms, webbed feet and small eyes, which isn't shown to be attached to his body untill [[Rayman 3]]. He is noticeably taller than most of the people of the Glade, with the exception of [[Ly the Fairy]] and [[Clark]] the Giant, and he has a extremely large mouth, which he often is seen to store things such as [[Silver Lum]]s, as can his children proved by [[Rayman]] being given the Rain Mask in [[Rayman Revolution]]. | ||

Globox and his family were | Globox and his family were created by [[Polokus]] as part of the non-magical People, as a result of the spirit's sense of humour. He was originally called "[[Globber]]", a name that he has now passed down to [[Globber|one of his children]] in order to rename himself. Together with his mate, [[Uglette]], he is the proud father of 650 small children at the last count. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', it was revealed that he and his family live in a tree house near [[the Canopy]], though in the Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', they live in a secret location hidden in the [[Woods of Light]], called the [[Globox Village]]. | ||

Globox's story begins even before the game starts, where he is by Rayman's side among an ambush in the Great Forest. There, he doesn't put up much of a fight, but he helps by rusting up a few Pirates with his Rain Dance. Rayman praises his efforts, but gets distracted by Ly's telepathy, and gets captured, leaving Globox with no choice but to be sent by his limbless friend to find Ly in person and ask for further instructions. Ly gives him a Silver Lum, and then gets captured himself. | Globox's story begins even before the game starts, where he is by Rayman's side among an ambush in the Great Forest.

On the Buccaneer, Globox is thrown into the same cell as Rayman, and give him the Silver Lum, which allows him to shoot with his fist. Rayman tries it on a metal grate covering an air vent, and together, he and Globox goes down the chute. However, Globox knocks Rayman off the edge, and they become separated. From this point until he meets [[Sssssam]] in the [[Marshes of Awakening]], who tells him that Globox has been taken beyond the Marshes, the limbless hero doesn't know where his amphibious friend had got to. | On the Buccaneer, Globox is thrown into the same cell as Rayman, and give him the Silver Lum, which allows him to shoot with his fist.

Later on, Globox is discovered and is held prisoner in the [[Canopy]], and once Rayman frees him, he joins him throughout the level, putting his Rain Dance into good use again by growing plants, putting out fires and short-circuiting electric bars. However, upon the sight of a warship, Globox runs back the way they came into a cave. Rayman goes back to reassure his friend that there's nothing to be scared of, and then, Globox remembers to give him a Silver Lum which upgrades the power of his Magic Fist. At the end of the level, Globox insists that he'll find his own way home, so he lets his limbless friend leave to carry on with his journey. | Later on, Globox is discovered and is held prisoner in the [[Canopy]], and once Rayman frees him, he joins him throughout the level, putting his Rain Dance into good use again by growing plants, putting out fires and short-circuiting electric bars.

Unfortunately, Globox gets captured again at the near end of the game, this time used as live bait to lure Rayman to the [[Crow's Nest]]. When he gets here, Razorbeard shoots him, but misses and hits the pole that hangs Globox upside down, but he insists that Rayman should carry on fighting the [[Grolgoth]] rather than saving him. It is unknown how he got down after the Crow's Nest fell apart, but whatever happens, he ends up back on the ground safely by the time he and his friends mourn their hero after the Buccaneer explodes, until Rayman turns up alive. | Unfortunately, Globox gets captured again at the near end of the game, this time used as live bait to lure Rayman to the [[Crow's Nest]].
