A Baby Globox is one of Globox and Uglette's 650 children. Along with their parents, baby Globoxes first appear in Rayman 2: The Great Escape and its remakes, where it appears that a large number of them are prisoners held on the Buccaneer. Those who had not been captured would appear either individually or in groups, and are usually seen cheering Rayman on or crying for their missing father. Baby Globoxes reappeared in Rayman Raving Rabbids with a major role and a significant change in their appearance.

In the games

Rayman 2

In the original Rayman 2, the baby globoxes first appeared during The Woods of Light when they asked Rayman where their father was and cried when told that he was missing. They then informed Rayman that Ly the fairy had been captured, setting the course for the hero's next mission. Two appeared in The Fairy Glade, the following level, cheering him on. Their next major appearance was at The Iron Mountains when Rayman had to rescue them from the mines. Several were freed from The Prison Ship and three attended Rayman's funeral, running towards him when he arrived. Aside from this, they starred in several bonus games depending on which version was being played.

Their roles increased in Rayman Revolution as several can be met in the hub levels, and one is required in order to reach Whale Bay.

In Rayman 2 Forever they did not appear, aside from the bonus levels where Rayman was forced to collect as many as them as were to be found.

Rayman Raving Rabbids

In Rayman Raving Rabbids, Rayman was having the picnic with several babies when the Rabbids attacked and captured them. The babies were used by the Rabbids in several mini-games. When Rayman finally escaped, he tried to go back for the babies but became stuck in a hole. The fate of the babies is not known.

Colours

Most of the baby Globoxes are the same colour as their father Globox, an indication that a large number of them are male, though there are a few of them that are found in colours other than blue-green. These particular Globoxes can be found in the Globox Village (Globox's House in Revolution), and are playable characters in the bonus mini-games involving Baby Globoxes. Female Globoxes are generally as a rule some shade of red, usually pink.

Baby Football

In the Baby Football multiplayer minigame (which is exclusive to Rayman Revolution), if the player inputs a code (tapping L2, R2, L2, R2, L2, R2, all while holding L1 and R1), names appear over the heads of each of the baby Globoxes. The names which appear over the male blue babies are Reno, Arno, Poc and Druid; and the names which appear over the heads of the pink female babies are Coach, Iki, Lolo and Mike. Hardrox, who is the referee of the baby Globoxes' football match, has the name "Steve" appear over his head. All of these names are either first names or nicknames of developers who worked on the game, and all can be seen during the game's credits.

Unicef

At the time Rayman Raving Rabbids had been released, the baby Globoxes had been redesigned, and appear in a number of French adverts for Unicef in which a Rabbid would treat one unfairly, for example, it would eat a lot of food but not give the baby Globox any, until Rayman would come along and pull down a blind which had messages in French saying "I have the right to eat!". Three of these adverts were made and they were to raise awareness of the rights of children in a humorous manner, particularly those in third world countries. The messages were:

• On a tous le droit de manger! (We have the right to eat!)
• On a tous le droit d'aller à l'école! (We have the right to go to school!)
• On a tous le droit de s'exprimer! (We have the right to express ourselves!)

Trivia

• In the japanese Rayman Revolution, all the baby globoxes are scaleless and their mouths are completely pink.
• Since it is revealed in Rayman Origins that Globox was not naturally blue, he must have passed the manipulated gene down to some of his children, revealing why some of them are blue too.
