According to the manual for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', [[Globox]] originally was a Vubooduboo-practicing (translated from the language game Ubbi Dubbi to "voodoo-practicing") [[Red Wizard]] with red skin. Nobody in the [[Glade of Dreams]] seems to know what really happened to [[Globox]] when he became blue; while the other [[Red Wizard]]s of his clan whisper rumours about him being poisoned by [[Blue mosquito|venomous bubeastietubbis]] (translated from the language game Ubbi Dubbi to "beasties"), the [[Teensie]]s believe that his color change was produced by excess drinking of [[plum juice]]. | According to the manual for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', [[Globox]] originally was a Vubooduboo-practicing (translated from the language game Ubbi Dubbi to "voodoo-practicing") [[Red Wizard]] with red skin.

The artbook ''[[The Art of Rayman Origins]]'' depicts the former version, showing how, as he was eating some berries from a bush, [[Globox]] confused a [[blue mosquito]]'s eye for a berry, and after failed attempts to take the eye, he swallowed the [[Blue mosquito|insect]] whole. Once inside [[Globox]]'s body, the [[Blue mosquito|mosquito]] buzzed noisily for help, and immediately a swarm of [[Blue mosquito]]es appeared to sting [[Globox]], leaving him with several bluish-purple welts, which eventually became part of his skin and turned him blue. This story is later reused in the PlayStation Vita version of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' as a mosaic puzzle, where it is obtained by collecting [[relic]]s in the game. The story is also referenced in his description in ''[[Rayman Mini]]''. | The artbook ''[[The Art of Rayman Origins]]'' depicts the former version, showing how, as he was eating some berries from a bush, [[Globox]] confused a [[blue mosquito]]'s eye for a berry, and after failed attempts to take the eye, he swallowed the [[Blue mosquito|insect]] whole.

* In the PlayStation commercial of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', a red Globox can be seen, weirdly, bearing a [[Robo-Pirate]] symbol on his belly. This may be a grown-up version of [[Catastrox]], a red [[Baby Globox]] that sometimes claims allegiance to the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, but this is not confirmed. | *In the PlayStation commercial of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', a red Globox can be seen, weirdly, bearing a [[Robo-Pirate]] symbol on his belly.
