[[File:Valley_named.PNG|frame|class=sprite|[[The Magician]] refers to the valley by name in ''[[Rayman Advance]]''. This addition was carried over to the [[Rayman (Nintendo DSi)|DSiWare version]].]]

The valley is notable for being the only place in Rayman's world where other characters of Rayman's own species can be found; almost all of its inhabitants carry at least some of Rayman's distinctive visual features, such as his limblessness, his large nose, his round body, his white gloves and his frond-like hair. Natives such as [[the Magician]] and [[Tarayzan]], as well as [[the Musician]] and his family, are all ostensibly members of Rayman's species; other characters, such as [[Space Mama]], [[Betilla the Fairy]], [[Mr Dark]] and [[Joe the Extra-Terrestrial]], share some of his characteristics, but are different enough that they may or may not be considered members of the same species.

Most of those who live outside the valley do not seem to be aware of its existence; the fishermen who first found Rayman on the shore of [[the Sea of Lums]] were puzzled by his lack of limbs. However, the outsiders to the valley only came to trust Rayman once he had defeated [[Mr Dark]], indicating that the valley and its inhabitants had become more widely-known by the time of the events of ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''.

''[[Rayman Origins]]'' makes some attempt to reconcile the valley's unique features with the world established in ''Rayman 2'' and ''Rayman 3''. Most of the returning ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' characters were changed to fit the style of the later games; most (like [[~~Betilla the Fairy|~~Betilla]]) were given limbs, some (like [[the Magician]]) had their species changed, and others (like the [[stone man|stone men]]) remain almost identical to their appearance in the original game.
