Nessus (known as the "River Guardian") is a large centaur with the head and upper body of a man and the body of a Half-Horse Nessus first appears when Barbara is sent by Baba Yaga to recruit the mighty centaur for the latter's army. In exchange for his service, Nessus wants Meg to be his lover, but her refusal only makes him more persistent. The centaur chases the young woman and grabs her in his hand. Without thinking or analyzing the situation, Rayman barrels in and bravely tells Nessus to unhand her; however, the young hero's command doesn't faze the large centaur. As soon as Rayman pulls out his sword, Nessus uppercuts him and sends him flying halfway across the river, dunked in the water. Nessus walks towards Rayman as the young hero frantically searches for his missing sword. Rayman instead grabs a fish, which screams in fear when it sees Nessus and jumps away, much to the centaur's amusement. With Meg still in his clutches, Nessus roared with laughter before hitting Rayman again, who rammed headfirst into a rock jutting out of the water. Murfy then tells Rayman to use his head. Not quite understanding what his hero trainer means, Rayman literally uses his head by head-butting Nessus, sending the centaur flying.
