'''Carmen the Whale''' is a character from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. In every version, Carmen's first appearance was on the Main Menu, making her the first significant character to appear in the game, even before [[Rayman]]. Carmen's home is in the ocean, though she occasionally makes trips to [[the Whale Bay]]. Carmen has been witnessed having a taste for the thorny roots common in [[the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]]. Carmen's purpose in life is to survey the depths of the ocean, depositing air bubbles to help any stray plants and animals, and in this case also Rayman. [[Piranha]]s are very fond of her air bubbles, since they suffer from heartburn.

==In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''==

~~Carmen was a prisoner held in~~ [[~~the Whale Bay~~]] by the [[Robo-Pirate ~~Army|Robo-Pirates~~]]~~, who were intending~~ to ~~take~~ blubber ~~from her and~~ use it to grease ~~their~~ engines. ~~In return for being~~ rescued by Rayman, ~~Carmen would help~~ him to stay underwater for ~~longer periods provided he followed her and breathed in the air bubbles she produced~~. In the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'', Carmen led Rayman to ~~the~~ [[Sanctuary of Water and Ice]]; in all other versions, she leads him to the end of the level.

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', Carmen is captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s and imprisoned in the [[Whale Bay]]. Her captors planned to kill her for her blubber, so they could use it to grease the engines of the ''[[Buccaneer]]''. Once Carmen has been rescued by [[Rayman]], she makes it possible for him to swim through the huge underwater caverns by releasing [[air bubble]]s for him to collect and breathe. As long as he collects them frequently enought, he can stay underwater for an indefinite period of time. In the Sony PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'', Carmen led Rayman to [[the Sanctuary of Water and Ice]], which has been reduced to a small area at the end of the Whale Bay; in all other versions, she simply leads him to the end of the level.

===In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''===

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Carmen makes an additional appearance following the Whale Bay in the ocean outside [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. The rescue of [[Globox]] and Carmen is required to access the Sanctuary, as Carmen must eat the thorny ~~root~~ blocking the entrance.

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', Carmen makes an additional appearance following the Whale Bay in the ocean outside [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. The rescue of [[Globox]] and Carmen is required to access the Sanctuary, as Carmen must eat the thorny [[nettle]] blocking the entrance.

~~Following her oceanic appearance, Carmen appears every now and then if Rayman returns to the area outside of the sanctuary~~.

~~Rayman rides~~ Carmen ~~in one of the loading animations in the game; this is the only loading animation that is not present anywhere else in the game, indicating that the developers may have originally intended for~~ Rayman to ~~be able to ride Carmen during~~ the ~~game~~.

Following her oceanic appearance, Carmen occasionally appears when Rayman returns to the area outside of the Sanctuary.

~~==Trivia==~~

Rayman rides Carmen in one of the loading animations in the game; this is the only act depicted in a loading animation that cannot actually be performed in the game, indicating that [[Ubisoft|the developers]] may have originally intended for Rayman to be able to ride Carmen at some point during the game.

* During Rayman ~~2's production~~, Carmen~~'s original name was "The Whale"~~.
