[[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.

- This article is about the character's role in Rayman fan games. For the character in official games, see Bad Rayman and Dark Rayman.

Dark Rayman is character who appears in some 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
In Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror, Dark Rayman is an unlockable 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 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
Mr Dark's Dare
In Rayman Redemption, Dark Rayman reprises his role from the original Rayman game, where he was called Bad Rayman. He appears in 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 in the area.
Unlike the original Rayman game, where Bad Rayman appeared only once - in the second part of 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 antitoons.
Rayman has a number of skins 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 GBC Dark Rayman skin. If the player is using the 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 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 Dark Moskito. During the battle, Dark Rayman is largely passive, while 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 Dark Moskito are defeated.
Dark Rayman can be fought again in the True Boss Rush where he gains stronger attacks, and he also switches to his GBC appearance unless Rayman is already using the GBC Dark Rayman skin, thus making him the only True Boss Rush opponent who can be challenged in their original colors aside from 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 tings 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 tings 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 tings after the End of the World is completed.
- The Game Boy Color version of the Dark Rayman skin may be similarly purchased for 500 tings after the Dark 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 cages 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 achievement.
In Rayman ReDesigner
Dark Rayman returns from Rayman Redemption in Rayman ReDesigner both as a Mr Dark curse and as his related skins, 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 Dark Moskito or a dark version of the Robot Dinosaur, which is the only way to see the latter as the dark dinosaur isn't available as a skin.
Trivia
- Prior to versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 in Rayman ReDesigner, Dark Rayman's skin would change to his Game Boy Color appearance when using the 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 skins, thus changing the other skins' ID.
