In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Lums can alternate between yellow and red, but they do not have the same effects or appearances as [[Yellow Lum]]s or [[Red Lum]]s. The player often comes across large, crowned Lums called [[Lum King]]s. Collecting a [[Lum King]] causes all the Lums in the area to sing and dance for a few seconds, while their colour changes from its usual yellow to red. While in this state, each Lum is worth two. Lums can be found floating freely or hidden inside [[nenuphar]]s and [[Bulb-o-Lum]]s. They can also be gained by bubblizing and defeating enemies. At the end of each level, the heroes give their Lums to [[the Magician]], who grants them [[Electoon]]s in exchange. At the end of the game, it is revealed that [[the Magician]] has been using these Lums to power the mechanical army he built in the [[Moody Clouds]] to take over [[~~the~~ Glade of Dreams]] and rid it of the [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]].

Due to several glitches causing Lum-yielding objects to reappear indefinitely, the number of Lums in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' is probably unlimited. However, considering the limit of 999 Lums per level, the known maximum in the whole game is over 23000; the amount of 999 Lums is displayed on the level-end screen even if the player has collected more. The [[Ting]]s in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']] are also in an unlimited number; however, ''[[Rayman 2]]'' makes it clear that there are only 1,000 [[Yellow Lum]]s in existence, and they are currently contained in [[~~the~~ Heart of the World]] at the time of ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]''.

On the official website and the manual for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the Lums' description talks of a Glade-wide sport where characters go on a cross-country, no-holds-barred race to collect the most Lums. This could be a reference to the [[Lums (racing mode)|Lums]] racing mode or the [[Lum Spring]] battle mode in ''[[Rayman M]]''.
