'''Dark Rayman''' is character who appears in some [[Main Page|Rayman fan games]]. He is a clone of [[Rayman]], magically created by [[Mr Dark]] in an attempt to destroy the original. His appearance is very similar to that of [[Rayman]], but with different coloration. He has glowing yellow eyes, grey skin, green tongue, pink hair and neckerchief, light blue gloves, and dark blue shirt and shoes.
==In ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''==
[[File:RDMRT-Dark Rayman Sprite.png|thumb|class=sprite|The Dark Rayman [[skin]] in ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''.]]
In ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'', Dark Rayman is an unlockable [[Skin|playable character]], although he plays no part in the game's story and fully behaves as if he was [[Rayman]], being nothing more than a [[skin]]. Some of his animations are slightly different and his [[Telescopic fist|fist]] gains unique colors depending on the [[power-up]].
He's unlocked in [[the Magician]]'s bonus [[shop]] by completing [[Dark Storm]].
==In ''[[Rayman Redemption]]''==
==={{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}===
In ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'', Dark Rayman reprises his role from {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game}}, where he was called {{rw|Bad Rayman}}. He appears in {{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}, summoned by [[Mr Dark]]'s spell.
He follows [[Rayman]] wherever he goes as well as copying his actions. [[Rayman]] cannot stand still for too long, because Dark Rayman will walk towards him after a brief moment, and both him and Dark Rayman will die instantly if they touch.
Similarly, [[Rayman]] must avoid colliding with Dark Rayman while retracing his steps. Dark Rayman cannot be harmed by any weapons that [[Rayman]] has, and the only way to defeat him without killing [[Rayman]] in the process is to reach the [[Exit sign|exit]] in the area.
Unlike {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game}}, where {{rw|Bad Rayman}} appeared only once - in the second part of {{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}, in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' he appears again, in the fourth part of the level - this time chasing [[Rayman]] in a dark castle infested with [[antitoon]]s.
[[Rayman]] has a number of [[skin]]s based on Dark Rayman's appearance, thus making him a playable character. When [[Rayman]] is wearing Dark Rayman's skin, the actual evil doppelganger will change to the {{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|GBC}} Dark Rayman [[skin]]. If the player is using the {{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|GBC}} Dark Rayman [[skin]] during the [[True Boss Rush]], the harder version of Dark Rayman will revert to his original appearance. In both cases, this does not change Dark Rayman's boss icon or his abilities in battle.
===[[The End of the World]]===
Dark Rayman makes his final appearance in the game in the first part of [[The End of the World]]. This time he is riding [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]] as they engage [[Rayman]] and [[Bzzit]] in an aerial battle. This is the only time where Dark Rayman may be hit directly, although it is not clear whether [[Bzzit]]'s energy projectiles harm him or [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]].
During the battle, Dark Rayman is largely passive, while [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]] fires energy projectiles at [[Rayman]] and [[Bzzit]]. After being hit 5 times, Dark Rayman leaves the screen (harming [[Rayman]] if he touches him), and sends spirals of fireballs at the heroes, before returning to direct combat. He will repeat this after being hit 5 more times. Finally, after suffering 15 hits, Dark Rayman and [[Moskito#As Dark Moskito|Dark Moskito]] are defeated.
[[File:Rayman Redemption-GBC Dark Rayman Sprite.png|thumb|class=sprite|{{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|GBC}} Dark Rayman as he appears in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' and ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]''.]]
Dark Rayman can be fought again in the [[True Boss Rush]] where he gains stronger attacks, and he also switches to his {{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|GBC}} [[skin|appearance]] unless [[Rayman]] is already using the {{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|GBC}} Dark Rayman [[skin]], thus making him the only [[True Boss Rush]] opponent who can be challenged in their original colors aside from [[Mr_Dark#As_Darker_Mr_Dark|Darker Mr Dark]] prior to version 1.1.0.
===As an unlockable [[skin]]===
* The Dark Rayman [[skin]] may be purchased in [[the Shop]] for 500 [[ting]]s after [[the End of the World]] is completed.
* The Fraykenstein's Monster [[skin]] is an halloween-themed appearance based on Dark Rayman which may be purchased in [[the Shop]] for 500 [[ting]]s after [[the End of the World]] is completed.
* The Jack-o-Ray [[skin]] is another halloween-themed appearance based on Dark Rayman which may be purchased in [[the Shop]] for 500 [[ting]]s after [[the End of the World]] is completed.
* The {{rw|Rayman (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version}} of the Dark Rayman [[skin]] may be similarly purchased for 500 [[ting]]s after the [[Final Showdown (Rayman Redemption)|Dark]] [[Gift|medallion]] is completed, its two parts being found in [[the End of the World]] and [[the Final Challenge]].
* The [[Dark Magician]] [[Rayman]] [[skin]] is based on Dark Rayman's appearance, but with colors reminiscent of the [[Dark Magician]] and his creations. It is obtained in [[Dark Magician's Challenge]] if [[Rayman]] breaks the extra [[cage]]s there and speaks to the [[Dark Magician]] who will award him the [[skin]].
===Achievements===
* Making Dark Rayman [[grimace]] (which is possible because he copies [[Rayman]]'s every move) grants the ''Right Back at ya'' {{rr|achievement}}.
==In ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]''==
Dark Rayman returns from ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'' both as a [[Mr Dark]] [[curse]] and as his related [[skin]]s, behaving exactly as he did as a chaser.
Despite being possible to place multiple instances of [[Mr Dark]] casting the Dark Rayman [[curse]], it isn't possible to summon more than one Dark Rayman, even if his dark particles can be seen appearing more times.
When [[Rayman]] is riding a mount such as [[Bzzit]] or the [[Robot Dinosaur]], Dark Rayman will summon a dark version of it to keep following [[Rayman]]. He can thus ride [[Moskito#As_Dark_Moskito|Dark Moskito]] or a dark version of the [[Robot Dinosaur]], which is the only way to see the latter as the dark [[Robot Dinosaur|dinosaur]] isn't available as a [[skin]].
His statues return to the [[Extra Locations (Rayman Redemption)|Extra]] template, and so does his boss theme from [[the End of the World]], while the [[Rigged power-up|rigged lives]] modeled after him were brought back in version 1.0.0.

==Trivia==
* While the Dark Rayman from ''{{rw|Rayman 1}}'' was mainly referred to as {{rw|Bad Rayman}} in the context of {{rw|Rayman (series)|official games}}, most fan games always refer to this evil clone as Dark Rayman, such as ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'', ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', or ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'' internally.
* Prior to versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 in ''[[Rayman ReDesigner]]'', Dark Rayman's [[skin]] would change to his {{rw|Bad Rayman#In_the_Game_Boy_Color_version_of_Rayman|Game Boy Color}} appearance when using the [[Rayman|SNES Rayman]] [[skin]] instead of the Dark Rayman one. This is most likely an oversight caused by the [[laser-washing powder]] suits being no longer considered [[skin]]s, thus changing the other [[skin]]s' identifier.
