Ssssam is described as a ‘young and spirited serpent’ in the manuals for most versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', and he appears to be very cheerful, enjoying the simple things in life. Upon being able to stretch out after being freed from his [[cage]] by [[Rayman]], he says that it is ‘Sssssensational’. He does not have any knowledge of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the Masks of Polukus]], possibly due to spending most of his life in [[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marshes]].

In ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes, Ssssam is first found by [[Rayman]] in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], imprisoned in a [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] [[cage]]. Upon being freed by [[Rayman]], Ssssam stretches and agrees to take [[Rayman]] across [[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marshes]], as he had seen the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] take [[Globox]] in that direction. On the other side, Ssssam bids [[Rayman]] farewell and asks [[Rayman]] to make a point of visiting again. From this it would seem that he is very lonely, possibly having no friends within [[The Marshes of Awakening|the Marshes]].

==In ''Rayman 2 Forever''==
In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 2'']], Ssssam appears with a much smaller role, appearing only at the end of the first level of [[the Marshes of Awakening]] (although he can be seen again with the rest of the cast at the end of the game). In this version, he simply lets [[Rayman]] ride across the marsh on his head, rather than waterski. He is never named in this game.
