Mr Dark is Rayman's arch-nemesis, and a major character in the Rayman series, both in official and fanmade content. A diabolical and mysterious shape-shifting sorcerer, Mr Dark has attempted to disrupt the balance of The Glade of Dreams on several occasions, but is always thwarted by Rayman.

Mr Dark returns as the main antagonist of this upcoming game by Benoraloha, and this time, he seems to have some sort of an obsession with ancient eggs. He stole them from the Sacred Tree, but one of them escaped and ended up with Rayman and Barbara, who team up with The Captain.
In the 4th world, Fairy Glade, Mr Dark scares a red lum, which turns out to be Andre, and in the 5th world, Desert of the Knarren, the 2 meet Reflux. In the 7th world, Fiesta de Los Muertos, Mr Dark casts a spell on El Stomacho, turning him into a beast to swallow Edith Up.
In the final non-optional world, Dark Kingdom, the heroes climb Mr Dark’s Tower. When they get to the top, Mr Dark summons the bosses from Rayman Redemption and Raymesis while he, Andre, and Reflux get away in an airship with the crystal egg. The heroes defeat them, and then catch up on their mosquitoes in the dark finale, Mr Dark’s Getaway, where they defeat Reflux. Afterwards, they board the airship. There, Mr Dark takes the Scepter of the Leptys and then turns into a dragon of ultimate darkness. The battle has 2 phases. In the 1st phase, Mr Dark spits purple fireballs and breathes purple fire, and you damage him by hitting Andre (Whom he throws as one of his attacks) back at him. In the 2nd phase, Mr Dark covers the ground with a stream of fire, and there are 3 platforms for the players to stand on. Sometimes in the 1st phase, lividstones will run out to attack, and in the 2nd phase, thunder clouds will roll in to strike the heroes.
After being defeated, Mr Dark’s dragon form seems to explode, but after the credits play, he is revealed to be alive, having landed in a part of the forest. He then casts a spell to turn the surrounding area into a world identical to Arcane Forest called Shady Contracts.

Mr Dark returns in the sequel. He now has a new target; The Garden. He starts stealing ancient eggs from each mini land, and taking them to the penultimate world, Shady Contracts. When the heroes finally arrive, they get contracts to complete in order to rescue the eggs and hatch the creatures. When the heroes have rescued all the creatures, Mr Dark challenges them to a battle. This battle is very similar to that in Rayman Adventures console edition, but since Andre isn’t there, Mr Dark tries to slam his hand into the ground, and you must punch it back at him to damage him. The heroes beat him, and he falls into a hole.

in The Adventures Of Rayman
