rayman, popular for his propeller hair and limbless trait, was created by french video game designer, michel ancel, who used to work for ubisoft. the reason why doesnt he have limbs is because he was initially designed to be an athletic youth with a full body, but because of rendering difficulties, hes left with no arms, legs or neck, making it easier to animate the character.
rayman's head, hands and feet float around his body. he has brown eyes and a large nose, and his blonde hair is divided into two strands. his default attire is a purple torso with a magic white ring on it, white gloves and yellow shoes. he originally wore a red bandana which was later replaced with a hoodie as of rayman 3 onwards.
rayman is a friendly, sporty, talented character. he plays all instruments and can carry globox children, kegs and plums, and also has the ability to use his telescopic fist to hit the opponents further and propeller hair for gliding and soft landing.
