Swingmen have a similar role in the game to [[flying ring]]s in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Purple Lum]]s in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and the [[flying hook]]s from ''[[Rayman 3]]''; they are used by the heroes in order to swing, helping them reach places they can not reach by jumping alone. They are flying blue blob-like creatures with a small red hat, angel-like wings and protruding swinging arms which the heroes can grab onto as they approach one.

==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]''==

~~Swingemen~~ can protrude up to four arms at a time, one arm for each hero. Unlike the [[Fakir]]s and swinging vines, Swingmen have a more predictable management in multiplayer mode, as both the [[Fakir]]s and swinging vines require various players to control one single swinging element, while the Swingmen's multiple arms allow each hero to have their own swinging element; however, the Swingmen move their arms automatically, and cannot be controlled by the heroes manually.

==In ''[[Rayman Mini]]''==

While Swingmen do not appear in ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', certain [[spiky flower]]s function identically to them, with the heroes being able to swing from their hands to progress in the level. Notably, the arms that these [[spiky flower]]s possess are recolored versions of the Swingmen's arms.
