{{ | {{quote|text=These winged little nasties are concentrated puffs of pure evil, the brainless spawn of their master, the [[André|Dark Lum Lord]] who now resides trapped inside [[Globox]]'s stomach. Channelling their fury into an army of [[Hoodlum]]s, Dark Lums will stop at nothing to free their Lord and unleash an insidious rule of darkness upon [[the Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]].|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman 3]]''}} | ||
A '''Black Lum''', also known as a '''Dark Lum''', is a type of evil [[Lum]] that was first introduced in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. It is the result of a [[Red Lum]] that had been frightened. Unlike the other Lums in Rayman's world, these do not shine, hence their name, and instead look like hairy insects with large bloodshot eyes and grey lips. [[André]], the leader of the Black Lums, is the only one that has a pair of arms. When several Black Lums gather into a swarm, they steal the fur from animals like [[Bonton]]s and weave it into costumes for themselves, thus becoming [[Hoodlum]]s. In the main version of ''Rayman 3'', the Black Lum controlling a Hoodlum flees when Rayman defeats the Hoodlum; in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the handheld version of the game]], Black Lums appear as direct enemies which can be defeated in one hit from Rayman's fist; in this version, [[Admiral Razorbeard]] seeks to capture [[Globox]] so that he can take control of the power of André, whom Globox has swallowed. Once Rayman receives his [[grimace]] power from [[Gumsi]], he can use it to convert Black Lums back into [[Red Lum]]s (assuming that he uses the grimace on them quickly after defeating their Hoodlums, while they are still stunned and before they get a chance to fly away). They are known to like humid, damp areas, particularily swamps, and dislike music. | A '''Black Lum''', also known as a '''Dark Lum''', is a type of evil [[Lum]] that was first introduced in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

A small number of Black Lums appear in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the portable adaptations of ''Rayman 3'']]. Despite its title, this game is based mainly on ''[[Rayman 2]]'' – the presence of Black Lums is one of its few reminders of [[Rayman 3|the original ''Rayman 3'']]. In this game, they act as enemies, rushing towards [[Rayman]] and damaging him by contact. If Rayman hits them with his [[telescopic fist]], they splatter – the same thing happens to the [[caterpillar]]s in this game. The only remnants of the destroyed Black Lums is their eyes – the same result occurs when Rayman kills [[Antitoon]]s in the other games. | A small number of Black Lums appear in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the portable adaptations of ''Rayman 3'']].

Black Lums are visually very similar to the [[baby caterpillar]]s which appear in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. | Black Lums are visually very similar to the [[baby caterpillar]]s which appear in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. | ||
