Mr Dark is Rayman's arch-nemesis, and a major character in the Rayman series. A diabolical and mysterious shape-shifting sorcerer, Mr Dark has attempted to disrupt the balance of the Glade of Dreams on several occasions, but is always thwarted by Rayman. His features are hidden beneath a shadowy cloak and hat, beneath which only his glowing yellow eyes can be seen. Mr Dark's first appearance is in the original Rayman game, where he acts as the main antagonist and final boss. He makes similar villainous appearances in the game's handheld adaptation, and in Rayman Junior, an educational spin-off. Although Mr Dark does not make a direct appearance in Rayman Origins, the game makes several references to him, and it is ultimately revealed that his influence inspired the Magician to become a villain.
