* ~~The name~~ of Razoff's father, Count Zaroff, is a reference to the character General Zaroff from Richard Connell's 1924 novella ''~~‘The~~ Most Dangerous ~~Game’~~''. ‘Razoff’ is simply ‘Zaroff’ with the ‘Z’ and the ‘R’ switched. Nimrod, ~~his~~ grandfather, is named after a great biblical hunter. Artemis, ~~his~~ grandmother, is presumably named in reference to the Greek goddess of hunting.

* Razoff has several statues of [[Sssssam]] the snake in his mansion, hinting that Razoff has encountered, or at least knows of, the character. Most likely, Razoff has hunted Sssssam at some point. Whether or not he actually killed or captured Sssssam at some point between ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' is unknown; however, it should be noted that Razoff's obligation to capture an exotic prey does not yet seem to be fulfilled by the time of ''Rayman 3''.
