Rayman's species: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

''Rayman Origins'' also gives an in-story explanation for Rayman's limblessness. In the distant past, Rayman was created by [[Betilla the Fairy]] and her [[nymph]] sisters in order to defeat [[Jano]] and preserve the balance of the world. However, on their way to the ritual, the nymphs accidentally lost a bag of [[Lum]]s. As a result, Rayman was born incomplete: missing arms, legs and neck.

At one point in the development of ''Rayman Origins, [[Tarayzan]] from [[Rayman 1|the original game]] was intended to be a playable character. As a skin for Rayman, Tarayzan would have remained limbless. Unused dialogue from the game reveals that Tarayzan is Rayman's cousin, hinting that Tarayzan was also created by the nymphs. The same may hold true for the other members of Rayman's species.

When the player pulls on the [[Bubble Dreamer]]'s beard while controlling Rayman, the Bubble Dreamer expresses mild surprise that Rayman is still limbless, and assures Rayman that the nymphs will get their act together eventually. This seems to suggest that it is possible for members of Rayman's species to gain limbs; it may be that this is what happened to the other returning characters from the original game.
