A '''Purple Lum''' is one of the many types of [[Lums]] that are found in [[the Glade of Dreams]]. These lums assure the cohesion of the world; without them, nothing would be solid or visible. Unlike the other Lums, this kind is shaped like a ring; rather than being collectible, they can be grabbed and used as hook by [[Rayman]], so that he may cross large areas without touching the ground. Like [[Super Yellow Lum]]s, Purple Lums have eyes. They fulfil the same role as the [[flying ring]]s from [[Rayman 1]], and also have very similar appearances, the only major difference being their wings, Purple Lums have insect-like wings while the flying rings have more bird-like wings.

The console versions of [[Rayman 3]] replace the Purple Lum with the [[Flying hook]], which can only be tethered onto with the [[Lockjaw]]. [[Rayman Origins]] and [[Rayman Legends]] use various means to replicate the swinging motif, such as the [[Swingman]], ropes and chains tethered to a point and the [[Fakirs|Bearded Fakirs]] to fulfil the same role.

Purple Lums appear in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], shaped like semicircles with crowns, they also have this appearance in the [[Rayman 3 (Symbian)|Symbian version]].

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], Purple Lums reappear, and look very similar to how they appeared in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], but now have a greyish colour. In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Symbian)|the Symbian version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' ]], they look almost equal to the flying rings of ''[[Rayman 1]]''.

In [[Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color versions of ''Rayman'']] [[Rayman 2 Forever|and ''Rayman 2'']], the Purple Lums move around freely in one location, ready for [[Rayman]] to grab onto them. In [[Fiery Depths]] and [[Dark Legacy]], red and black grabbing rings can be found. When [[Rayman]] grabs onto, they go and stay up. When he lets go, they go down. They can also hurt [[Rayman]].

In [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], Purple Lums can only be found much later in the game.
