The '''Leptys''', or '''Night God Leptys''', is a [[bird]]-like god whose known titles include ‘Bringer of Night’ and ‘Father of [[Knaaren|the Knaaren People]]’. The Leptys is worshipped by the [[Knaaren]], who believe that he is their creator. It is not certain how this relates to [[Polokus]], who created the [[Glade of Dreams]] along with most, if not all, of its inhabitants. [[Gumsi]], the child king of the [[Knaaren]], holds the [[Sceptre of the Leptys]], an extremely powerful artifact which, when invoked, can grant the holder all of the Leptys's powers.

When [[Rayman]] defeats [[Gumsi]]'s [[Knaaren]] champion, [[Reflux]], in the arena, [[Gumsi]] rewards [[Rayman]] by invoking the Leptys and giving [[Rayman]] a fraction of its power: the power to turn [[Black Lum]]s back into [[Red Lum]]s with a [[grimace]].

[[André]], the leader of the [[Hoodlum]]s, persuaded [[Reflux]] to steal the [[Sceptre of the Leptys]] from [[Gumsi]], so that [[Reflux]] would be able to use the Leptys's power to destroy [[Rayman]], and so that [[André]] would be able to use the Leptys's power to reproduce.

The Leptys itself never truly appears, but a huge statue of it is seen in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]]. The statue resembles an eagle-like [[bird]]. After [[Reflux]] invokes the Leptys and becomes the final boss of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', he takes on a somewhat [[bird]]-like appearance, even growing wings. It seems that merely possessing the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]] is not enough to access all of the Leptys's powers; [[Reflux]] embeds the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]] into the flesh of his own back in order to grow gigantic.

The Leptys is worshipped by the [[Knaaren]] in [[the Tower of the Leptys]], which they seemingly built as a temple to him. When the Leptys is invoked at the top of the tower, a bizarre cloud formation appears in the sky over it. [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] chase [[Reflux]] into this, and find themselves in an alien landscape, surrounded by strange clouds and eyes on stalks. It is implied that this area explodes once [[Reflux]] in his Leptys form is defeated.
