Serguei is a giant Gorilla-like-Rabbid , one of the main antagonist in the original Rayman Raving Rabbids. He 's a large Timid Rabbid with permanently red eyes, also wearing a metal muzzle. Sergei makes low pitched ape noises and apparently used to be the leader of the Rabbids. Despite his huge body and scary appearance, he is mostly harmless, though this may be because he is not allowed to hurt Rayman. However, he is the one responsible for kidnapping Rayman, presumably guarding his cell, and throwing him back in violently afterwards. As the Rabbids soon begin to treat Rayman with a little more respect, Serguei also starts to treat him that way. Instead of grabbing Rayman by his nonexistent throat to carry him out or literally tossing him back in his cell, he pets him on the head and escorts him outside to the Rabbid Colosseum and back inside to his cell by red carpet.
Rayman Raving Rabbids[]
Serguei first appears in the intro of the game and along with the other Rabbids kidnaps rayman by grabbing him to the ''neck'' and taking him to the colosseum. Rayman gets brutaly kicked inside the colisseum by serguei while the rabbids ask for fun.
From day 2 to day 6, Serguei acts rude with Rayman. grabbing him by the "neck" to take him to his cell once he finished today's mini-games and throwing him violently into the cell, but also giving him the plunger he just won. If Rayman wants to continue with his tests and knocks the door, Serguei will see him through the door peephole and opens the door in order to grab him by the "neck" and take him to The Colosseum. Once they're there Serguei kicks Rayman into the arena once more so he can continue.
From day 7 to 11, Serguei starts acting more politely with Rayman and with actually rayman's gaining his respect, not grabbing him by the "neck" and tossing him into the cell, but going first in order to make sure he opens the door for Rayman. while entering, Rayman tells him to stand firm, Serguei obeys and stands like guarding the cell. If Rayman wants to get out in order to continue with his tests, he opens the door of his cell but there's no one there... except Serguei, who suddenly pops up from the other side, waving Rayman. Rayman walks to the arena, while Serguei follows his path like some kind of bodyguard. When Rayman gets to the arena, Serguei stops following him and returns to the colosseum.
From day 10 onward to the rest of the game, Serguei prepares a chore of Rabbids, consisting of singing little Rabbids holding present boxes and big Rabbids that use plungers as trumpets or tubas, while Serguei waves a batuta and dances to the chorists. Rayman goes inside his cell feeling moved for what they just prepared for him. If Rayman wants to continue whit his tests, Serguei tells the Rabbids to continue their performance. Rayman goes to the arena while Serguei follows him like a bodyguard, waving his batuta. Serguei continues following Rayman into the arena while passing some Rabbids who are giving a thumbs up, and other Rabbids who use their plungers as trumpets.
Serguei also makes special apparitions in mini-games. In Bunnies are bad at peek-at-boo, Serguei is the guard of the cell's door and Rayman has to play his game to win. While Serguei is not looking at Rayman, the player must run as stealthy as possible. At a given moment, Serguei will count to 3 whit his fingers in order to look at Rayman, so the player must stop when he does this and stay very quiet. If the player moves or fails with the controls, Serguei shoots Rayman with his fingers, "killing" him and causing the player to lose the mini-game. If the player gets close enough to Serguei, a cutscene shows Rayman escaping through the jail's door before it closes, while Serguei tries to catch him but fails.
In the second part of Bunnies have no memory, Serguei is one of the Rabbids from which the player must memorize their sound pattern, resembling Darth Vader's breathing. If the player fails with the pattern of the sounds, or the battery of the camera runs out, Serguei and the other Rabbids get mad, in theory ending the game; however, the player can still win if at least 40 points are scored.
In the second part of Bunnies have natural rhythm, Serguei reappears as an extra character. This time, during the intro, he is shown to despise the music, so he turns off the yellow radio (which plays "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"), which the yellow Rabbids were dancing to. This makes them sad and Serguei starts celebrating in a very mockingly way by jumping and waving his arms like a maniac. Serguei will start guarding the radio he just turned off, making sure no one turns it on again, and if the player gets close to him he punches Rayman. The player must turn one of the four radios (yellow, pink green and blue) to send out of the arena as many Rabbids of the corresponding color as possible; once a radio is on, Serguei will get mad again and run to turn it off, guarding said radio just like he did with the yellow one at the start. While running to one of the radios, Serguei is capable of knocking down both the other Rabbids and Rayman; getting knocked takes away one of the player's three lives. Once Rayman has got rid of all the dancing Rabbids, the player wins the mini-game.
After the 15th day of imprisonment, Rayman escapes. It is unknown how Serguei and the other Rabbids react to this, as Serguei has not appeared in any other Rabbids game since.
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2[]
Despite not being present in the actual game, Serguei does appear in the American cover art, where he is seen climbing the Eiffel Tower as an obvious reference to King Kong. This could imply that Serguei was indeed involved in the world domination plan of the second title.
