===Appearance===
Globox resembles a large, fat amphibian, and is blue-green in colour with a pale yellow belly and hands. While the rest of his body is fat and heavy, he has long thin arms, and his webbed feet and small eyes float separately from his body. He is noticeably taller than most of the inhabitants of [[the Glade of Dreams|the Glade]], with the exception of such characters as [[Ly|Ly the Fairy]] and [[Clark|Clark the Giant]]. Globox has an extremely large mouth with a long purple tongue, and he often uses it to store things such as [[Silver Lum]]s, and, accidentally, [[André]]. [[Baby Globox|His children]] have the same ability, as was shown when, late in the events of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', one of his sons swallowed the fourth [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask of Polokus]] when he found it in [[the Pirate Mines]] and gave it to [[Rayman]] once the latter had freed him and his siblings from [[Admiral Razorbeard's lackey|the lackey]]'s [[Robot Dinosaur]].

===Abilities===
Physically, Globox is quite strong, and provided that he has the confidence to (under the influence of [[plum juice]] in ''Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge''), he can inflict a strong blow on enemies, namely [[Hoodlum]]s.  Unfortunately, he is allergic to plum juice, and when André was inside his stomach, he would force Globox to drink some and then suffer from its effects, which includes getting drunk and burping out giant, bouncy bubbles.  At an early point in ''Rayman 3'', he realises that he can swim, even swimming up an entire waterfall. Plum Juice can also give him an ability to fly, or float, into the air, allowing him to avoid such terrains in [[Rayman 3]] that would prove difficult. This was most likely to have been inspired by this hovering technique in [[Rayman M]]. All versions of ''Rayman M'' suggest that he can run as fast as the others, despite his weight, but elsewhere he tends to walk slowly in a nervous state.

Globox has the power to form rainclouds, albeit small ones that draw enough rain to grow a plant quickly, put out fires and to rust a [[Robo-Pirate]] as self defence.  Most other species would have to use a Rain Mask, which one of his children gives to Rayman at a later point in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.
