A '''Ludiv''' is a type of [[fairy]] found in [[Rayman]]'s [[Glade of Dreams|world]]. They serve a variety of purposes, but their role in the respective plots of the games they feature in is minor. A character named [[Flips]], who bears a strong resemblance to the Ludivs, features in ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series]]''.
