[[File:Unusedlums.png|frame|A detailed view of a Purple Lum without his ring.]]

A '''Purple Lum''' is one of the many types of [[Lums]] that are found in [[the Glade of Dreams]]. These lums carry a ring and assure the cohesion of the world; without them, nothing would be solid or visible. Unlike the other Lums, they aren't collectible. Because of their ring, they can be grabbed and used as hook by [[Rayman]], so that he may cross large areas without touching the ground. Like [[Super Yellow Lum]]s, Purple Lums have eyes.  

They fulfill the same role as the [[flying ring]]s from ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. The console versions of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' replace the Purple Lum with the [[Flying hook]], which can only be tethered onto with the [[Lockjaw]]. ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' use various means to replicate the swinging motif, such as [[Swingman|Swingmen]], [[liana]]s, ropes, chains and even [[Fakirs|bearded Fakirs]].

This is the first game in which Purple Lums appear. [[Rayman]] gains the ability to swing from Purple Lums by absorbing a [[Silver Lum]] which was granted to him by [[Ly]], after he freed her from her prison in [[the Fairy Glade]].

According to [[The Knowledge of the World]], Purple Lums are one of the five primary coloured Lum types that are used in the world. They are said give cohesion to the world and that nothing would be solid or visible if they didn't exist. [[Rayman]] is able to use these Lums by shooting at them, once the shot has met the Purple Lum, a blue magical tether will connect [[Rayman]]'s fist to the lum, and [[Rayman]] will swing back and forth in a parabolic shape. While swinging on the Lum, [[Rayman]] can also cause the tether to swivel around, allowing him better ease at reaching a far off platform that would otherwise be inaccessible.

==In ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Rush]]'' and ''[[Rayman Arena]]''==

The Purple Lums appear in all iterations of this title, but their appearance varies between versions.  

In ''[[Rayman M]]'', although they're called Purple Lums, they are just flying rings.

In ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', they share the same appearance they had in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

In ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', a small tether connecting the Purple Lums to their ring.
