Yellow Lum: Difference between revisions

'''Yellow Lums''' are the most important of all [[Lums]]. They, along with the [[Red Lums|Red]], [[Blue Lums|Blue]], and [[Purple Lums|Purple]] [[Lums]], created the god [[Polokus]], who went on to create [[the Glade of Dreams]]. There are exactly 1000 Yellow Lums in existence; when united (which seems to be their natural state), they form [[the Heart of the World]], which was shattered into its constituent Yellow Lums by the [[Robo-Pirate army]] prior to the beginning of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. [[Rayman]] collected all 1000 of them throughout the course of this game; [[the Heart of the World|the Heart]] (which contains them) is seen for the first time in [[the Fairy Council]] in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''. [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|The Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']] contradicts the previous games regarding the number of Lums, featuring 1550 of them to collect, rather than the previously established 1000.

There is some evidence to suggest that [[the Great Protoon]] and [[the Heart of the World]] are in fact the same object; the reason for its differing appearance in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' may be its destruction by the [[Robo-Pirate army|Robo-Pirates]] and its subsequent reconstruction by [[Rayman]] and the [[Teensie]]s. If this is true, then the 1000 Yellow Lums (in the form of [[the Great Protoon]]) actually first appeared in ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. If enough Yellow Lums are collected, the collector can find out [[the Knowledge of the World]].

In most versions of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', [[Razorbeard]] eats a Yellow Lum during a cutscene. This causes the total Yellow Lum counter on the heads-up display to decrease from 1000 to 999. This Lum, however, can later be found in a secret room in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]]. In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', it is instead found in the same chest as the [[Lums Radar]], also in the Tomb of the Ancients.

In the PlayStation version, there are only 800 Yellow Lums, which do not give [[Rayman]], and Rayman no longer receives [[the Knowledge of the World]] from them. In this version, the Yellow Lum which [[Razorbeard]] eats is replaced with a [[Red Lum|Red one]]. There are also 800 Lums in ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]''. When the word Lums first comes up, it says it as ‘Lumz’.
