Rayman is a platform game series created by Michel Ancel for Ubisoft. It follows its protagonist character Rayman, a magical limbless creature, being renowned for his courage and determination who, with the help of his friends, must save his world from various villains. The series is set in a fantastical, magical world which features a wide range of environments that are very often based on certain themes, such as "the Eraser Plains", a landscape made entirely of stationery, or "Fiesta De Los Muertos/Mystic Mesa", based on Mexican tradition. The series began with the release of the first Rayman in 1995 and has since produced multiple games across multiple systems, as well as several spin-off titles in other, non-platforming genres.

Since his debut in 1995 on the Atari Jaguar, Rayman has become a well received and recognizable video game character by players and is known for his lack of limbs. ==Other media== Rayman has been the subject of a short-lived animated television series in 1999, Rayman: The Animated Series, which was produced as a tie-in to the video games, though significantly different from the source material. Only four episodes were made. In 2019, another animated TV series was announced to be in works at Ubisoft Film & Television. However, the project was scrapped in 2023. Rayman appears as a recurring character in the 2023 adult animated series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, voiced by David Menkin. ==Notes== ==References== ==External links==
