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

A '''Purple Lum''' is one of the many types of [[Lum]]s 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 [[Lum]]s, they ~~aren't~~ collectible. Because of their ring, they can be grabbed and used as a 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|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. 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 bearded [[Fakir]]s.

''[[Rayman 2]]'' is the first game in which Purple Lums appear. [[Rayman]] gains the ability to swing from Purple Lums by absorbing a [[Silver Lum]] which is granted to him by [[Ly]], after he freed her from her prison in [[the Fairy Glade]].

Line 15:

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 to give cohesion to the world and that nothing would be solid or visible if they didn't exist. [[Rayman]] is able to use these [[Lum]]s by [[Magic fist|shooting]] at them, once the [[Magic fist|shot]] has met the Purple Lum, a blue magical tether will connect [[Rayman]]'s [[Magic fist|fist]] to the Lum allowing [[Rayman]] to 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.

The Purple Lums appear in all iterations of this title. They function the same as in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', but their appearance varies between versions. In ''[[Rayman M]]'', although they~~'re~~ called Purple Lums, they resemble [[flying ring]]s. In [[Rayman Arena|the GameCube and Xbox versions of ''Rayman Arena'']] there is a small tether connecting the Purple Lums to their ring. In ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', they share the same appearance they had in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], Purple Lums can only be found near the end of the game and require a special power to interact with.
