In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', he appears as a pale, squat, somewhat amphibious creature with long, spindly arms and very short legs. He stands atop a stone column designed as a receptacle for the [[four Masks of Polokus]], and wears a pair of blue-green trousers with a golden buckle and a magician's hat identical to [[Jano]]'s. This may be Polokus's true form.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Polokus is known as the Bubble Dreamer.  His eyes are darker, he no longer wears his trousers, and has a long ginger beard, similar to those of the [[Fakir]]s. He has a bubble-blowing pipe, which he uses to convert his dreams to reality. At one point in the development of ''Rayman Origins'', the Bubble Dreamer was intended to appear in various forms throughout the game, such as a tree and a rock, with only the bubble pipe providing visual continuity between his avatars. However, this idea was ultimately dropped for reasons unknown; instead the Bubble Dreamer stays in the Snoring Tree for the entire game, and never changes his form. In the final game, it is not clear whether the Bubble Dreamer has shape-shifting abilities at all. His appearance in ''Rayman Origins'' lacks some of the defining characteristics of his appearance in ''Rayman 2'', such as the elongated arms, the short legs, the top hat, and the blue trousers with the golden belt buckle. However, a close examination reveals a general similarity between the two; in both forms, he is a pale, fat, amphibous creature, and the removal of his previous clothing in favour of a beard and umbrella can be dismissed as no more than a cosmetic change.
