Globox

Globox appears as a blue frog, and usually goes with Rayman in most games. He's voiced by John Leguizamo and Doug Rand. He has some family: a wife named Uglette—quite similar to him, but with pink skin—and 650 children (at the last count). One can first see Uglette on the boat near the end of Rayman 2, with a lot of their children. The children also appear in some other levels of the game, like in the prison with the huge bird robot and they appear in the bonus stage unlocked after the player found all the cages in a level. Uglette is an unlockable character in the racing game, Rayman Rush; in Rayman Arena she is replaced by Dark Globox (GameCube and Xbox only); she is the only character present in Rayman Rush who did not make it into Rayman Arena. Globox is slightly simple, and it is said in Rayman 2 that Polokus used his sense of humor for inspiration when creating him. He's also cowardly and will flee from every enemy he sees, leaving Rayman to clear the enemies. Globox's magic power is the ability to create a small cloud, and to make it rain. He just has to perform a rain dance. The rain is used to remove fires and destroy machinery in Rayman 2, and was apparently used by Globox to cause Robo-Pirates to rust. In Rayman 3, Globox accidentally swallows André, ruler of the Black Lums who has a taste for plum juice. So, in order to shut him up, he must drink it, despite the fact that Globox is allergic to plum juice. Then he behaves strangely, sometimes producing purple bubbles (which Rayman can use to get to new areas, not unlike blue baby Yoshis in New Super Mario Bros. U), sometimes inflating himself and flying, one time getting up a waterfall (inevitably helping Rayman get to a new area) and frequently acting out of character, behaving in a childlike, or even sometimes aggressive manner. There are three possible reasons for this. Firstly because of his allergy, secondly that it has fermented, and thirdly that it may well be hallucinogenic. In this game he is voiced by the aforementioned John Leguizamo. In the Rabbids series, there is a kid version of Globox that are greener and have wider eyes.
