Description

Raymesis' appearance is very similar to that of Rayman, but with different colouration. He has glowing yellow eyes, a purple tongue, purple-grey skin, purple hair, cyan hood and shoes, light blue gloves, and a dark blue shirt. From Rayman Legends onwards, his eyes are orange, except in duck form, in which they are yellow like in Rayman Origins.

Role in the games

Rayman Origins

Bubble me! Rayman's evil clone! What a nightmare you were! Still single? Well, you are soooo ugly. Blame it on Mr. Dark!
—Bubble Dreamer, Rayman Origins

Raymesis appears in Rayman Origins as a playable character. To unlock him, 220 cages' worth of Electoons are required. In the 3DS version, 150 Electoons are required.

The Bubble Dreamer suggests that he was created by Mr Dark – this is one of the game's few references to the original Rayman antagonist. It is unclear whether the Bubble Dreamer confuses Raymesis with Bad Rayman or simply makes a joke about their resemblance (he looks almost identical to Rayman's evil clone created by Mr Dark in the original game), or if the two are linked in some other way, even them being the same character. In the Nintendo 3DS version, he also refers to Raymesis as DarkRay:

You ARE on my side though...GULP, right DarkRay...!
—Bubble Dreamer, Rayman Origins (Nintendo 3DS)
