A '''Lum''' is a small body (or shard) of magical energy which is found in the Rayman games starting from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. Generally, there are six different types of Lums that are determined by colour, though in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' there is the existence of [[Black Lum]]s. They usually appear as small lights with insect-like wings, though in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and [[Rayman 3 (GBA)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], Lums look like crystal balls. The name is derived from the French word 'lumière', which means 'light'. Lums in [[Rayman Kart]] look like piles of gold money and there are roughly two million of them. In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' they ~~will bear limbs~~, ~~eyes~~ and a ~~mouth~~ and ~~will serve as~~ a ~~currency in~~ [[the ~~Glade~~ of ~~Dreams~~]].

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Lums return with their winged form, and are a significant source of energy in the Glade of Dreams. However, Lums are no longer divided by types or colours, as they all resemble [[Super Yellow Lum]]s with arms and legs, and turn red when a [[Lum King]] wakes them up to start dancing. In their red condition, Lums turn hot, and their energy duplicates. [[The Magician]] is interested on the power that he can extract from the Lums, and in order to make an exchange, players must collect a certain amount of Lums for the Magician (measured by a test tube) to adquire some [[Electoons]]. If players reach the limit of the test tube, they will obtain a [[Lum Medal]]. In this game, Lums seem to be infinite, as there can be more of 350 Lums in almost every regular level.
