'''Bégoniax''' is a boss character who first appears in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. She is a stout, red-haired, dark-skinned sadomasochist witch who wears a cauldron on her head. She lives in a hut in [[the Bog of Murk]]. She also appears as a boss in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', in the [[Bégoniax Bayou]]. She is obsessed with her own appearance, and her failed attempts to brew the ultimate beauty potion have left her both insane and hideous. It is unknown what she looked like before she began experimenting with these potions. When the men Bégoniax falls in love with reject her, she subjects them to her love potion, which transforms them into [[toad]]s. She then breeds with these [[toad]]s, producing so many tadpoles that she no longer knows what to do with them.

In the minigame [[Crush]], which takes place after the events of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', Bégoniax has cast a spell on [[Count Razoff]]'s dungeon, causing [[toad]]s to start multiplying within it. It is implied that these toads are Bégoniax's transformed lovers, or perhaps their offspring. The player must help [[Count Razoff|Razoff]] to crush the [[toad]]s with his wrecking ball. One of the [[toad]]s is apparently a transformed Bégoniax, as it looks identical to how Bégoniax appears when [[Rayman]] splashes her own [[toad]] potion on her in their fight. However, this [[toad]] appears multiple times during the minigame, even after being crushed repeatedly, indicating that Bégoniax is not actually killed here.

In [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], the character of Bégoniax is omitted, along with many others. However, a level is named after her: [[Swamps of Bégoniax]]. The character is also directly referenced in the level by [[Rayman]], who wonders if [[Globox]] might have gone to Bégoniax's marshes.
