''' | The '''[[Lum]]s''' in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' are beings of pure energy that can be collected by the heroes. They do not fit into the system of colours used for the [[Lum]]s in the other games of the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. | ||
The Lums in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' | The Lums that appear in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' are sentient creatures, and have arms, legs, wings, eyes and mouths; in the other games, most Lums are simply orbs of energy with wings. They 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: The Great Escape|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 ''Origins''. | |||
Lums also form part of the culture of the Glade of Dreams, as the magic people use them as collectables during events. These events involve competitions between groups of four players, racing to get the most Lums and get the prize. | Lums also form part of the culture of the Glade of Dreams, as the magic people use them as collectables during events.

In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', Lums can be painted | In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', Lums can now alternate between yellow and purple. Many Lums are part of chains, with the first link being purple. Every purple link the hero collects triggers the next link to turn purple, while collecting any other link makes the entire chain turn yellow. Therefore, as each Lum in purple state is worth two, collecting the chain in the correct order ensures a significant gain. | ||
During the development of the Wii U version of the game, videos revealed that Lums could be painted purple by [[Murfy]], adding not only the regular amount of Lums for [[Rayman]]'s score, but also the exact same amount of Lums for [[Murfy]]'s score. This duplicated the final score of Lums, which were later used to unlock bonuses. Unlike the red colour generated by the [[Lum King]]s, the purple colour of [[Murfy]]'s paint was activated with the touchscreen, and appeared to be permanent, giving [[Rayman]] enough time to take them all. | |||
