The Teensie race is a diverse one, and the personality and dialect of a Teensie widely depends on where it comes from. In general, many Teensies are talkative and fun-loving creatures who have a taste for disco. Many Teensies are very old, absent-minded and forgetful; when the [[Grand Minimus]] was locked in a [[cage]] with three other Teensies, they eventually forgot which one of them was King, and were forced to rule together to overcome this problem. The older Teensies spend their spare time performing acrobatic dance moves, in order to make the younger, less-experienced Teensies envious. | The Teensie race is a diverse one, and the personality and dialect of a Teensie widely depends on where it comes from.

Female Teensies have | Female Teensies have not made an appearance in any game so far, and so it is unknown how similar they are to their male counterparts. Female Teensies are only subtly alluded to in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', in which some Teensies will grumble about needing to attend to their children or aunts (which have never appeared in any game). Though there exists the possibility that Teensies are hermaphroditic, it is generally regarded that the existence of Teensie females is more likely. | ||
Teensies were originally planned to appear in ''[[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|Rayman 4]]''; they appeared in some early screenshots and the first teaser trailer. However, when the game was being remodelled into [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|a party game]], the Teensies were cut. | Teensies were originally planned to appear in ''[[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|Rayman 4]]''; they appeared in some early screenshots and the first teaser trailer.

In ''Rayman 3'', most Teensies have taken the role previously held by [[Electoon]]s in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and [[Deny]]s, [[Ludiv]]s, [[Greenbottle]]s, etc. in the many versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Though a few Teensies such as the [[Grand Minimus]] and the [[Teensie Doctor]]s have a role in the game's plot and are found elsewhere, most Teensies are found by destroying a [[cage]]. If Rayman destroys enough cages in a world, his HP Bar will increase its maximum capacity. | In ''Rayman 3'', most Teensies have taken the role previously held by [[Electoon]]s in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and [[Deny]]s, [[Ludiv]]s, [[Greenbottle]]s, etc. in the many versions of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

Upon speaking to Globox, he tells [[Rayman]] that he can sleep easy now. He also tells Rayman that the Teensies found a little cave down his well, which leads to [[Whale Bay]], [[Skull Cave]] and [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]]. However, though the subtitles read 'Teensies', Globox actually says 'the little ones'. | *After beating [[the Canopy]], [[Uglette]], [[Globox]], [[Hardrox]] and some of Globox's [[Baby Globox|sons and daughters]] can be found at [[Globox's House]].
