'''[[Rayman]]'s species''' is an unnamed race of limbless creatures native to the [[Glade of Dreams]].


Members of [[Rayman]]'s species lack arms, legs and necks; instead, their heads, bodies, hands and feet float, connected only by some invisible force. They typically have large, rounded noses and eyes.

In ''[[Rayman 2|Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', very few characters from the original game return. For the most part, the game features a brand-new cast of characters. Aside from [[Rayman]] himself, no members of [[Rayman]]'s species appear. The game's manual states that, when [[Rayman]] first appeared, the other inhabitants of [[the Glade of Dreams]] were amazed by his limblessness, suggesting that [[Rayman]]'s species is very rare and not well-known. Upon close examination, some of the characters in this game, including [[Globox]] and the [[Teensie]]s, are semi-limbless; their feet float with no legs joining them to their bodies.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', many characters from the original game appear for the first time in the series's sixteen-year history. However, the developers made some effort to avoid the subject of [[Rayman]]'s species, perhaps to maintain the unique status held by [[Rayman]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Characters who were originally limbless, like [[Betilla|Betilla the Fairy]], [[Hunter]]s, [[Antitoon]]s and [[Livingstone]]s now have arms and legs. Some characters, like [[the Magician]] and [[the Photographer]], have been changed to [[Teensie]]s to better fit the style established in the previous sequels. However, some characters, like [[Electoon]]s, [[Stone man|stone men]] and other members of [[Rayman]]'s species remain as limbless as they were in the original. In addition, [[Raybox]] and [[Raymesis]] are introduced as playable characters and skins for [[Rayman]].
