==Description==

Sssssam is a purple snake or serpent-like creature who dwells in [[the Marshes of Awakening]], acting as a ferryman for [[the Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]'s inhabitants. He has a disproportionately large head compared to his thin body. The body itself appears to be no longer than [[Rayman]]'s height; however, he is never seen in full – only his head, part of his neck and occasionally the tip of his tail are ever actually visible, as he always partially submerged in the water of the Marshes. As a result, it is impossible to gauge just how long he might be, though he is small enough to fit inside a [[Robo-Pirate army|Robo-Pirate]] [[cage]].

Sssssam speaks with heavy emphasis on sybilants, not unlike a stereotypical cartoon snake.

Sssssam is described as a ‘young and spirited serpent’ in the manuals for most versions of ''Rayman 2'', and he appears to be very cheerful, enjoying the simple things in life. Upon being able to stretch out after being freed from his [[cage]] by [[Rayman]], he says that it is ‘Sssssensational’. He does not have any knowledge of [[Four Masks of Polokus|the Masks of Polukus]], possibly due to spending most of his life in the Marshes. However, even Rayman was not aware of their existence to begin with.

==In ''Rayman 2''==

In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 2'']], Sssssam appears with a much smaller role, appearing only at the end of the first level of the Marshes of Awakening (although he can be seen again with the rest of the cast at the end of the game) In this version, he simply lets Rayman ride across the marsh on his head, rather than waterski. He is never named in this game.
