"Figures. They're raiding the Fairy Council! Enough is enough. I was told that after Rayman 2 I'd be cast as a tormented artist who falls for a girl with great big... uh, eyes. And here I am, playing sidekick again in a low-budget flick. Yeesh!" - Murfy, Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc.

Murfy (sometimes spelled as Murphy) is a character who made his début in Rayman 2: The Great Escape, and later appears for a short while in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. He serves as a flying encyclopedia, and it is his job to provide as much information about the world to Rayman as he can, as well as teaching him how to train and perform his moves. In the PlayStation version of Rayman 2 he does not do this, as it seems that a number of his kind are prisoners found in cages.

Character Description

Murfy is a small flying creature with a green head, and despite his frog-like appearance, he is actually a greenbottle, a sort of fly, as revealed in the instruction booklet of Rayman 3. He always sports a huge cheesy grin showing large teeth, and is always dressed in green, yellow and purple clothes, almost identical of that of the Grand Minimus Teensies. In his appearance in Rayman 3 he had undergone a number of changes, such as his hands and eyes which are now much bigger than in Rayman 2, and his wings have become more fly-like. His clothes have also been slightly changed, notably his shoes which are elf-like. He also appears to have fingers and legs now, unlike the previous game.

Videogame Appearances

Murfy's first appearance in Rayman 2: The Great Escape

Rayman 2

In all versions of Rayman 2 except for the Playstation version, Murfy seems to be an innocent character that plays as a guide for Rayman, giving him instructions on how to pull off his moves while going through the Woods of Light. All around the world there are Stones of Thought. If Rayman stands next to one of these for a while and thinks, Murfy will come back to him and repeat his instructions.

Rayman Revolution

Murfy's job as an instructor is a little more looked into at the beginning of Rayman Revolution, as there is an extra stage after the Woods of Light in which he teaches Rayman how to swim and how to shoot, using a scarecrow as his first target.

Rayman 3

Murfy later appears in Rayman 3, and this time he carries a manual (a purple booklet with a picture of the original Rayman's face on it), which he reads from instead of passing his own knowledge to Rayman. He develops a more cocky personality than before, and often rants about how he is stuck with being a sidekick, as well as giving witty comments and sarcastic remarks about the Manual as Rayman goes through the Fairy Council. In this game, he is voiced by Billy West, who had also voiced Rayman in the Animated Series four years earlier. Unlike Rayman 2, in which he can appear anywhere in the game which has a Stone of Thought, Murfy leaves at the Heart of the World.

Other games

Murfy also makes brief appearances in many handheld Rayman games, such as Rayman 3 for the GBA and Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge, in which he overviews the games' instructions as before. In the GBA version of Rayman Raving Rabbids, he is sent to help Rayman escape from his cell.

Cameos

• Although Murfy is in the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman Raving Rabbids as a guide, his face can also be seen in the 'Shoot a Rabbid' minigames.
• Murfy also appears in Rayman Arena as a reporter/paparazzi in cutscenes that play before each new cup is played.
• In Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 and Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, Murfy has the default third highest score on each minigame, scoring 6000 on each.
