Globox

Lore & Background

Globox is a toad-like creature who is Rayman's dimwitted best friend and sidekick. Although easily frightened, he has often demonstrated his courage and has a heart of gold. However, from Rayman M and onward, he is no longer cowardly. He and his wife Uglette have over 650 children.

In Their Own Story

Globox first appears in the game when he and Rayman confront the robotic pirate army. Despite his fear, Globox creates rain to rust the robots. After Rayman is captured, Globox escapes and finds Ly, who gives him a Silver Lum to deliver to Rayman. Globox brings the Silver Lum to Rayman in his prison cell, restoring his powers. Rayman escapes through a pipe, but collides with Globox, sending them both plummeting. They are separated, and Rayman later learns from Globox's children that Ly has been captured. After Rayman rescues Ly, she reveals that Polokus can restore Rayman's full powers if he collects four magical masks. Rayman later frees Ssssam the Swamp Snake, who reveals that Globox has been recaptured. In the Canopy, Rayman frees Globox, who gives him another Silver Lum. Later, Globox's wife Uglette tells Rayman that Globox has been re-imprisoned on the Buccaneer and that their children are enslaved in the Iron Mountains mines. Rayman rescues the children, one of whom found the fourth mask. In the final confrontation aboard the Buccaneer, Globox is held hostage in the crow's nest by Admiral Razorbeard. After the battle, Rayman's friends find only his foot and mourn, but Rayman emerges alive on a crutch.
