The artwork tells the story of how [[Globox]] became blue. Before the incident, his skin was [[Red Globox|a red color]] similar to that of the [[Red Wizard]]s (implying that he may have been one at some point). One day, the young [[Globox]] was eating the fruit of a "blubue buberruby bubush" (which means "blueberry bush" in Ubbi Dubbi); unbeknownst to him, this particular bush was home to a blue mosquito. Mistaking the eye for a berry, [[Globox]] attempted to take the eye off of the mosquito. When that did not work, he ate the blue mosquito whole, prompting it to cry for help from his stomach. Answering the call was an entire swarm of blue mosquitoes that chased [[Globox]] and stung him at once, covering him in blue boils. [[Globox]] would heal from the attack, but the venom from the blue mosquitoes would seep into his skin and permanently turn him the blue color that he is today. According to the aforementioned set of [[Rayman Origins (early production)#Unused subtitles|unused subtitles]] for [[Globox]]'s mosaic, the inhabitants of the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]] learned a valuable lesson that day: "always beat a buberruby bubush before stuffing one's belly..."
