Big Mama is a gigantic pink tentacled monster who acts as the optional final boss of Rayman Origins. She is fought in the Land of the Livid Dead, a hellish underworld and optional final level which can only be accessed by collecting all of the Skull Teeth in the game. Several editions of The Daily Bubble showed a middle-aged female glute, known as Mamma Hité or Voodoo Mamma, who bore a strong resemblance to Big Mama (and is still mentioned by the Bubble Dreamer); however, in the final version of the game, Big Mama turns into a nymph when she is defeated, and Voodoo Mama is never seen.

Big Mama was first revealed in the game's announcement trailer, where she is seen battling Rayman and Globox in the Mystical Piques. Later artwork shows her tentacles descending from the clouds above the mountain, suggesting that the players would have to climb to reach her. However, in the final version of the game, the battle with Big Mama was relocated to the Land of the Livid Dead. When Rayman, Globox, and the two Teensies enter Big Mama's lair, she is painting her nails while singing (her voice here is provided by Christoph Héral's aunt).

At one point it was stated that Big Mama's monstrous roars had been provided by series creator Michel Ancel, but this may have changed during the development of the game, as she sounds distinctly feminine in the final version. It is not known which actress voices Big Mama's nymph form.

Beating Big Mama in Rayman Origins unlocks in the HD consoles (except PC) the hidden trophy/achievement Nothing Lasts Forever.

The reward gallery in Rayman Jungle Run reveals that Big Mama's true name, at least in nymph form, is Fée de la Mort.

This early artwork shows Big Mama's tentacles atop Mystic Peak.
Big Mama's true form: a nymph.
