The '''Grand Minimus''' are four [[Teensie|Teensies]] from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', ''[[Rayman 2: Revolution]]'' (to a lesser extent), ''[[Rayman M]]'' (in which two are playable), and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''.

They are notable for ruling the Teensie race and overseeing [[the Hall of Doors]], [[the Isle of Doors]] or the [[Teensie Circle]]s, depending on the version of the game. As a general rule, the Grand Minimus's main role in ''Rayman 2'' and ''Rayman 3'' occurs at the end of the first world. | ||

The Grand Minimus was originally the title of the single King of the Teensies. However, after [[Admiral Razorbeard]] locked the Grand Minimus up in a small [[cage]] with three other Teensies presumably of relation to the King (such as friends, advisors, relatives, etc.; their relation is never given) in the [[Woods of Light]], the four [[Teensie]]s eventually came to forget which one of them was the King. In fact, not even the King himself could remember. The four [[Teensie]]s later decided that, as it was impossible to determine who was King, all four would rule over the Teensies together as the Grand Minimus. | The Grand Minimus was originally the title of the single King of the Teensies.

All four of the Minimus wear refined green robes, and at least one has a tall crown on his head. As seen in ''[[Rayman 2: Revolution]]'', the Grand Minimus have a talkative personality and enjoy gossiping about recent news. Also, it is seen in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' that the Minimus have a taste for disco, and enjoy the company of a disco ball and many other disco-loving subjects in their chamber, dancing day and night. | All four of the Minimus wear refined green robes, and at least one has a tall crown on his head.

The Grand Minimus makes their debut appearance when [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]] destroys the cage at the end of the [[Forest of Light]]. Rayman hopes to ask them as to the whereabouts of [[Ly the Fairy]], but is unsuccessful as the Minimus is distracted by the fact that they are unable to agree on who the real king is. After repeatedly grabbing the single crown from eachother's head and declaring to be king, Rayman gets frustrated and interrupts their clammor. Intimidated and worrisome as to Ly's bad news, the Teensies hush immediately and hesitantly back away. The last Teensie standing forward is quickly handed the crown. | The Grand Minimus makes their debut appearance when [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]] destroys the cage at the end of the [[Forest of Light]].

The king then gives Rayman the bad news about Ly, but explains that Ly is being held nearby in the [[Fairy Glade]]. If Rayman has already collected five [[Yellow Lum|Yellow Lums]], he will have collected enough energy to revitalize the king's magic powers. However, if Rayman is missing just one Lum, the king will send Rayman back to get the rest. | The king then gives Rayman the bad news about Ly, but explains that Ly is being held nearby in the [[Fairy Glade]].

Two of the four Teensies in the Grand Minimus participate in the races and battles of ''Rayman M'' as one of the initial playable characters. Being that Teensies are considerably short, the two Teensies race by carrying one on top of the other. ''Rayman M'' was the first game to give the sovereign Teensies the name "Grand Minimus." | Two of the four Teensies in the Grand Minimus participate in the races and battles of ''Rayman M'' as one of the initial playable characters.

In ''Rayman 3'', the Grand Minimus make their brief appearance at the end of the [[Fairy Council]] world. Rayman chases [[Andre]] and eventually arrives at their throne room, only to find it full of dancing Teensies and flashing disco lights. At the other end of the room, the Grand Minimus have [[Globox]] in their clutches. As Rayman approaches them, the Minimus tell him that Globox cannot stay in the throne room for fear that Andre could escape. To save Globox, the Grand Minimus open a portal to the [[Teensie Highway]] and explain to Rayman that he must take Globox to the [[Otto|Teensie Doctor]] in the [[Clearleaf Forest]]. | In ''Rayman 3'', the Grand Minimus make their brief appearance at the end of the [[Fairy Council]] world.

The Grand Minimus will feature as a playable character in the upcoming prequel ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The game's co-operative multiplayer mode will allow for up to four players to simultaneously control [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], the Grand Minimus and a new character, the [[Teensie Wizard]]. Only one of the Grand Minimus's four members is controllable; presumably this is because the events of ''Rayman 2'' have not yet occured, and the king has not yet lost his memory. | |||

It is generally regarded that this is not the Minimus, as there are more crowned Teensies than there are in the Minimus.
