In ''[[Rayman 2]]'', it is soon confirmed that the Grand Minimus are the guardians of [[the Hall of Doors]], assigned by [[Polokus]] himself after being created for that purpose. They are wise and powerful, though they seldom show it. Similar to [[Ly]] the Fairy, at least one member of the Grand Minimus is capable of creating [[Silver Lum]]s. One is used by the Grand Minimus in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', while a second is additionally used in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. As may be seen in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the Grand Minimus also have the responsibility of guarding [[the Heart of the World]], which resides in their throne room.

The Grand Minimus plays a slightly different role in the PlayStation 2 remake, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. Following acquisition of the crown, the king explains that both [[Globox]] and [[Ly]] the Fairy were captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]] army. The Grand Minimus hasn't the slightest clue where [[Globox]] is, but believe that the [[Teensie]] at [[the Minisaurus Plain]]'s [[Teensie Circle]] knows where [[Ly]] was taken. Considering [[Rayman]] has five [[Yellow Lum]]s collected, the king produces what appears to be a [[Silver Lum]] and sends it towards [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] then excitedly learns the [[magic fist]] ability. The king hops onto a pedestal and produces a second [[Silver Lum]], which drops into a nearby void. The [[Silver Lum|Lum]] explodes and turns into a [[Spiral Door]]. After giving a farewell speech, the Grand Minimus sends [[Rayman]] off to [[the Front]].

The Grand Minimus is a major character in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. He makes his first appearance during the cinematic introduction of the game, taking a nap with his friends [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], the [[Goth Teensy]] and the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]], and making grumbling noises while sleeping on [[Globox]]'s back. The noises of the group annoy their neighbours, the [[Livid Dead]], and they lock them in [[cage]]s at [[the Snoring Tree]]. Weirdly, after that the Grand Minimus is not seen, and is replaced by a regular [[Green Teensy]], becoming an unlockable character who is unlocked once 70 [[Electoon]]s have been collected.
