===Appearance===
Globox resembles a large, fat amphibian, who is blue-green in colour, with a pale yellow belly and hands. While the rest of his body is fat and heavy, he has long thin arms. His webbed feet and small eyes float separately from his body. He is noticeably taller than most of the inhabitants of [[The Glade of Dreams|the Glade]], with the exception of such characters as [[Ly]] the Fairy and [[Clark]] the Giant. Globox has an extremely large mouth with a long purple tongue, he often uses it to store things such as [[Silver Lum]]s, and, accidentally, [[André]]. [[Baby Globox|His children]] have the same ability, as was shown late in the events of ''[[Rayman 2]]''; one of his sons swallowed [[Four Masks of Polokus|the fourth Mask of Polokus]] after finding it in [[the Iron Mountains]] ([[the Pirate Mines]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''), then he gave the mask to [[Rayman]], once the latter had freed him and his siblings from the [[Spyglass Pirate]]'s [[Robot Dinosaur]]. Globox used to be red, but one day while he was eating berries, he mistook a blue [[mosquito]] for a berry, and ate it. From inside Globox's belly, the [[mosquito]] called for help, and hundreds of other blue [[mosquito]]es came to sting Globox. When they left him, Globox's red skin was covered in painful blue welts. These eventually seeped into his skin, turning it blue.

In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', along with [[Rayman]] and [[Barbara]], Globox sports a new adventurer outfit. He wears a sleeveless green coat over a buttoned white shirt, with the top unbuttoned. He also wears a small brown satchel, gray pants held up by a brown belt with a gold buckle, and brown shoes.

==Biography==
==Biography==
Globox and his family were created by [[Polokus]] as part of the non-magical People, as a result of the spirit's sense of humour. He was originally named "[[Globber]]", a name that has now been passed on to [[Globber|one of his children]] in order to rename himself. Together with his wife, [[Uglette]], he is the proud father of at least [[Baby Globox|650 small children]]. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', it was revealed that he and his family live in a tree house near [[the Canopy]], though in the Dreamcast version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', they live in a secret location hidden in [[the Woods of Light]], named [[Globox Village]].
