A Baby Globox is one of Globox and Uglette's 650 children. Along with their parents, baby Globoxes first appear in Rayman 2: The Great Escape and its remakes, where it appears that a large number of them are prisoners held on the Buccaneer. Those who had not been captured would appear either individually or in groups, and are usually seen cheering Rayman on or crying for their missing father. Baby Globoxes reappeared in Rayman Raving Rabbids with a major role and a significant change in their appeareance.

Colours

Most of the baby Globoxes are the same colour as their father Globox, an indication that a large number of them are male, though there are a few of them that are found in colours other than blue-green. These particular Globoxes can be found in the Globox Village (Globox's House in Revolution), and are playable characters in the bonus mini-games involving Baby Globoxes. Female Globoxes are generally as a rule some shade of red, usually pink.

Notable baby Globoxes

Baby Football

In the Baby Football multiplayer minigame (which is exclusive to Rayman Revolution), if the player inputs a code (tapping L2, R2, L2, R2, L2, R2, all while holding L1 and R1), names appear over the heads of each of the baby Globoxes. The names which appear over the male blue babies are Reno, Arno, Poc and Druid; and the names which appear over the heads of the pink female babies are Coach, Iki, Lolo and Mike. Hardrox, who is the referee of the baby Globoxes' football match, has the name "Steve" appear over his head. All of these names are either first names or nicknames of developers who worked on the game, and all can be seen during the game's credits.

Unicef

At the time Rayman Raving Rabbids had been released, the baby Globoxes had been redesigned, and appear in a number of French adverts for Unicef in which a Rabbid would treat one unfairly, for example, it would eat a lot of food but not give the baby Globox any, until Rayman would come along and pull down a blind which had messages in French saying "I have the right to eat!". Three of these adverts were made and they were to raise awareness of the rights of children in a humorous manner, particularly those in third world countries. The messages were:

  • On a tous le droit de manger! (We have the right to eat!)
  • On a tous le droit d'aller à l'école! (We have the right to go to school!)
  • On a tous le droit de s'exprimer! (We have the right to express ourselves!)
