'''Platformmen''' are [[fairy]]-like creatures that inhabit the [[Jibberish Jungle]] in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. They, along with the [[Lums]] and the [[Red Wizard]]s, became some of the most notable phisically abused magic creatures of the [[Glade of Dreams]] when the [[Livid Dead]] and other nightmarish creatures started to invade it. Platformmen can be found caught in small non-flying [[phial]]s (presumably, caught by the [[Lividstones]]); there, their bodies are completely compressed, and only one hand is fully seen out of the phial, asking for help. When a player breaks their phials, the Platformmen caught inside can be seen in their real form; they are semi-square cyan coloured creatures with blue [[butterfly]]-like wings, long arms, short legs with green shoes and a crazed smily face. When freed from a phial, the Platformman caught inside flies gleefully to a certain place where he'll keep static, offering the players to use his back as a platform in appreciation for saving him. Platformmen give access to the players to distant places, although these can be easily reached by using the helicopter or just a precise jump. Saving a Platformman is completely optional in regular levels, and practically only required for inexperienced players; however, in the level [[Poor Little Daisy]] several Platformmen must be rescued in order to avoid the [[Daisy]] and scale to the top of the phase 1. The resemblance in name, function and colour scheme suggests that the Platformmen are closely related to the [[Swingman|Swingmen]].
