AppearanceEdit

Lums have an appearance of a Firefly, due to their illuminous faces and wings. Though they have a cutesy/crazy appearance, they look like fireflies even though they turn red.

Yellow LumsEdit

Yellow Lums are collected in Rayman 2 to restore the Heart of the World. They are the most basic of all lums. They reappear in Hoodlum's Revenge as collectibles and score-boosters.

Super Yellow LumsEdit

Super Yellow Lums are the same thing as Yellow Lums, but are worth five of them.

In Rayman: Revolution, these don't exist at all, yet the manual states that they do.

Red LumsEdit

Red Lums are collected in Rayman 2, Rayman 3, and Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge. They restore health when used. One was turned into Andre when Rayman's loose hands scared it. In Rayman Origins red lums are worth twice as much as yellow lums.

Blue LumsEdit

Blue Lums are used in Rayman 2 to breathe longer underwater. Air Bubbles made by Carmen the Whale have the same use, but are highly more effective.

Green LumsEdit

Green Lums are used in Rayman 2 as checkpoints. When Rayman dies, he is either brought to the beginning of the level or to where he obtained the last Green Lum.

Purple LumsEdit

Purple Lums are very important in Rayman's universe. They allow him to swing from one platform to another by punching or shooting at them. They are present in every Rayman platforming game, but Rayman Origins, and in Rayman Arena.

Silver LumsEdit

Silver Lums are created by fairies to bestow magical powers. In Rayman 2, Ly gives Rayman his powers through these. Globox usually delivers them by holding them in his mouth. So far, they have given Rayman the power to shoot with his fists, use the helicopter, swing from the Purple Lums, and charge the power of fists.

Black LumsEdit

Black Lums are vicious, twisted lums that have been turned evil. They are originally Red Lums that have been scared to death. Andre is the leader of all black lums. They can turn into Hoodlums, black lums that wear hoods, hence the name. Hoodlums have a wide variety of forms, usually carry guns, and are the main foes in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc.

TriviaEdit

Lums sort of resemble fairies from some games in Legend of Zelda series, as they both are glowing orbs with wings.
