The Fire Teensy (official name unknown) is an unlockable Teensy character in Rayman Origins. 80 Electoons are needed to unlock him at the Snoring Tree. He bears a strong resemblance to the Grand Minimus, but wears a fire-themed black coat.

Unlike most of the unlockable characters in Rayman Origins, the Fire Teensy plays a substantial role in-game. He can be found on the level-selection map of each world, standing alongside the entrances to the Chest chase levels. His role is simply to tell the player how many Electoons are required to access these levels. The Fire Teensy is the only playable character to feature full dialogues; he speaks in Pig Latin.

It seems that the Fire Teensy was originally a regular Crowned Teensie, or perhaps even one of the four Grand Minimus. As mentioned by the Bubble Dreamer, he was tortured by the inhabitants of the Infernal Kitchen in the Gourmand Land. He has crooked teeth, a broken nose and several physical anomalies, like claws on his fingers, red eyes, chest hair and light-green skin; his crown also seems to be deformed. Seeing his appearance, the Bubble Dreamer motivates him to stay positive, then retires him from his reign and suggests him to go see the world.

During earlier development, the Fire Teensy was intended to have a Frosty Delight-themed counterpart, the Ice Teensy, who at the same time, was supposed to act as Teensette's male counterpart. This character was scrapped in the final version of the game.
