A '''Ludiv''' is a type of fairy found in [[Rayman]]'s world, ~~most notably~~ in the ~~PlayStation version~~ of ''[[Rayman 2: The ~~Great Escape~~]]'', ~~where [[Rayman]] must free them from [[Cage|cages]], along with [[Deny]]s and [[Greenbottle|Greenbottles]], which are creatures of [[Murfy]]'s species~~.

A '''Ludiv''' is a type of [[fairy]] found in [[Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]]. They serve a variety of purposes, but their role in the respective plots of the games they feature in is minor. A character named [[Flips]], who bears a strong resemblance to the Ludivs, features in ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series]]''. However, it is never confirmed whether or not she is one.

A Ludiv (referred to only as a "pretty [[fairy]]") appears in the bonus stages unlocked at the end of each level in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' by finding all the level's [[~~Lums~~]] and breaking all its [[~~Cage|cages~~]]. In these bonus stages, the player controls a [[baby Globox]], which must race against [[~~Razorbeard's Lackey~~]] to the Ludiv. If the player wins the race, the Ludiv ~~can~~ grant [[Rayman]] gifts (health and/or [[~~magic fist~~]]s).

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

A Ludiv (referred to only as a "pretty little [[fairy]]") appears in the [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus stages]] unlocked at the end of each level in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' by finding all the level's [[Yellow Lum]]s and breaking all its [[cage]]s. In these [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus stages]], the player controls a [[baby Globox]], which must race against the [[Spyglass Pirate]] to get to the Ludiv first. If the player wins the race, the Ludiv will grant [[Rayman]] gifts (health and/or [[Power Fist]]s).

In ''[[Rayman ~~3: Hoodlum Havoc~~]]'', Ludivs ~~guard~~ [[The ~~Heart~~ of the ~~World|~~the Heart of the World]] in [[~~The~~ Fairy Council|the Fairy Council]].

===In the PlayStation version===

[[File:Ludiv PS1.jpg|thumb|right|320px|A Ludiv after [[Rayman]] has freed her from her [[cage]] in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.]]

The most notable appearance of the Ludiv is in [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|the PlayStation version]]. In this version, Ludivs are imprisoned in [[cage]]s by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, along with [[greenbottle]]s and [[Minisaurus|Denys]]. When [[Rayman]] frees Ludivs, hearts appear over their heads in a manner which recalls the [[Electoon]]s from [[Rayman 1|the previous game]]. The manual for this version of the game states that it is said that Ludivs are short-sighted and that they wear glasses. Without them, they would end up stuck, lost and knocked to the ground.

==In ''[[Rayman 3]]''==

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', Ludivs guard the [[Heart of the World]] in [[the Fairy Council]].

==Trivia==

* Of the three creatures that can be freed from [[cage]]s in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' (not counting the [[Teensie]]s), Ludivs are the only race not to have an alternative name, as [[greenbottle]]s are referred to as "Murfies" in the PlayStation ''[[Rayman 2]]'' manual and [[Minisaurus|Denys]] are referred to as Minisaurus in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.

* The name comes from "Ludivine", the name of the daughter of the person who designed it.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 3 - Rayman 2 : The Great Escape, or the challenge of the 3D</ref>

* The English manual for [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'']] refers to the Ludivs as being shortsighted, hence why they wear spectacles. However, no Ludiv has ever been shown to wear spectacles in-game, and none have ever displayed a sight problem.

* The English manual for [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'']] also refers to the Ludivs as male, as in the entry for the [[greenbottle]]s (or Murfies) it states that "''More than one Ludiv has fallen prey to their pranks and been stripped of his pair of spectacles''". However, all Ludivs shown in game appear to be female, and the French manual refers to them as female.

*Initially, Ludivs were supposed to be limbless, like most of the characters from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']].<ref>"Portrait de famille", [[:File:R2 Portraitdefamille.jpg]]</ref>
