'''Big Mama''' is a gigantic pink tentacled monster who acts as the optional final boss of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', and the final boss of the [[Back to Origins]] mode of ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. She is fought in [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|the Land of the Livid Dead]], a hellish underworld and optional final level which can only be accessed by collecting all of the [[Skull Tooth|Skull Teeth]] in the game. Several editions of ''[[The Daily Bubble]]'' showed a middle-aged female [[glute]], known as '''[[Mamma Hité]]''', 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]] called '''Voodoo Mamma''' when she is defeated, and [[Mamma Hité]] 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 Pique]]s. 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 [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|the Land of the Livid Dead]]. When [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], and the two [[Teensie]]s 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. Gabrielle Shrager, the lead writer of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', voices Voodoo Mamma.
