Holy f, I worked hard on that one. There are things I don't quite like but what I do like about the pic I like A LOT.

So, a little explanation about who these people are. You sure know Polokus, but the rest? In Rayman's official lore there are other mighty beings mentioned. I made some headcanon-designs for them and came up with some headcanon lore. I'll try to keep it short:

All of these are gods like Polokus.

Polokus was the very first one to exist. He's technically the most powerful and the expert in creating literally everything. And as we know, he's very cheerful and easygoing.

Next to him: The Muse of Poets. I gave her the name Kalliope. The embodiment of beauty. She's doesn't posess the ability to create life, but eventually she and Polokus fall in love and together they create the teensies. Canon lore: She became disgusted with the teensies because of their appearance and ran away to hide until this day, much to Polokus' despair.

On the right: Great Spirit Palmito. He also doesn't posess the ability to create any life. Eventually he tried to overthrow the other gods and steal what they created but Leptyss kicked his ass. Hard. So he hid in a parallel world that he now rules as the ghost king, stalking the world of the living and sometime snatching unfortunate souls to make them his servants. Needless to say he's the most disliked by the others. Canon lore: He became so enraged by the Griskins' loud partying that he turned them all into spirits and locked them away in a tower (in my headcanon the tower is a bridge to Palmito's world).

On the left: Leptys, the father of the Knaaren. He does posess the ability to create life but he only ever created one lifeform: The Knaaren, who worship him to this very day. And despite him having a rather cold and merciless personality, he does cherish his children. Technically he's the most rational of all the gods. And he does have a no-bullshit-attitude. That's why he kicked Palmito's ass when he was acting up. And he considers Kalliope a tiring drama queen. Polokus he tolerates because he supplies food for his knaaren (unwillingly).
