Globox

Line 30:

}}

'''Globox''' is a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], second only to [[Rayman]] himself in his prominence. Globox acts as a major ally in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]'', and is a playable character in ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''. He is [[Rayman]]'s best friend and has been since before the events of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

==Description==

Line 40:

===Abilities===

Physically, Globox is quite strong, and provided that he has the confidence too (under the influence of [[plum juice]] in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''), he can inflict a strong blow on enemies, namely [[Hoodlum]]s. Unfortunately, he is allergic to [[plum juice]]; when [[André]] was inside his stomach, he would force Globox to drink some, then it would have various effects on Globox, such as getting drunk, and burping out giant bouncy bubbles. While under the influence of [[plum juice]] in [[Clearleaf Forest]], Globox realises that he can [[Swimming|swim]], and even manages to swim up an entire waterfall while avoiding [[piranha#In Rayman 3 and its spin-offs|piranhas]]. [[Plum juice]] can also give him an ability to fly, or float, into the air, allowing him to avoid such terrains in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' that would prove difficult. This was most likely to have been inspired by this hovering technique in ''[[Rayman M]]'', it also may be the inspiration for characters getting [[Bubble|bubblized]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In the UbiArt games, and all versions of ''[[Rayman M]]'', it is suggested that Globox can run as fast as the others, despite his weight, but elsewhere he tends to walk slowly in a nervous state. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', Globox can use the ability to glide without inflating and just by flapping his arms in the air.

Globox also has the ability to [[Rain Dance|form rainclouds]], albeit small ones that draw enough rain to either grow a [[plant]] quickly, put out fires, or rust a [[Robo-Pirate]] in self defence. Most other species would need to use a [[Rain Mask]], which one of [[Baby Globox|Globox's children]] gives to [[Rayman]] at [[the Pirate Mines]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.

===Personality===

Globox is generally a warm and friendly character and a proud father of more than [[Baby Globox|650 children]], though simple and very shy. Having been captured at least once in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', he has grown an irrational fear of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, and often when he senses that they are near, he will run away and hide (notable in [[the Canopy]]), until he is sure that [[Rayman]] had destroyed them all. Similarly, he displays this fear in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', this time of the [[Hoodlum]]s and their attacks, unless he is under the influence of [[plum juice]].

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', Globox speaks in broken English and has a deep voice, but in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', his English has improved and his voice has attained a higher pitch.

Line 73:

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, [[Admiral Razorbeard|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.

===In ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]''===

Globox appears in [[Rayman 2 Forever]], the Game Boy Color version of Rayman 2, although his role is drastically decreased. He is still captured at the start of the game and gives [[Rayman]] the [[Silver Lum]], however he does not appear again until the end, where he has a cameo appearance celebrating [[Rayman]]'s victory.

~~[[File:RHR 50.png|frame|left|class=sprite|Globox in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''.]]~~

In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Globox follows [[Rayman]] through much of the game, similar to ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Globox is also a playable character in some levels. Oftentimes there will be a puzzle-like sequence of events that requires the player to use both [[Rayman]] and Globox to move forward in the level. As [[André]] has been consumed once more, Globox can use the effects of [[plum juice]] to do certain things to move on in the stage, such as breaking metal bars.

Line 145:

Line 143:

[[Rayman]] and Globox then go on a mission to stop the [[Hoodlums]] creating a cloned [[Reflux]], however it is eventually revealed that [[Andre]] has taken over the body of Globox, having left a price of himself inside when he was previously swallowed. [[Andre]] takes off in [[Globox]]'s body, causing [[Rayman]] to persue him. [[Rayman]] eventually defeats the cloned [[Reflux]], freeing Globox from [[Andre]]'s control in the process, and the two heroes go home, with [[Rayman]] commenting that they "make a pretty good team".
