'''Red Lums''' are collectable shards of energy which appear in several games in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], most notably ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. They serve to replenish [[Rayman]]'s health. Along with [[Yellow Lum]]s, Red Lums are one of the two major [[Lum]] types featured in the games.

Along with [[Yellow Lum]]s, Red Lums are one of the two major [[Lum]] types featured in the games.
Red Lums take the form of red, glowing orbs.  In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' they resemble red versions of [[Yellow Lum]]s, having the appearance of orbs of red light with wings.


==Description==
In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', they resemble atoms, having a red orb in the centre orbited by smaller red dots. In some instances they appear in their original winged form, such as when they are transformed from [[Black Lums]] using the [[Grimace]] and when they appear in cutscenes. The atom-like appearance recalls the [[Simple Power]]s and [[Double Power]]s from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], which, together with the [[Big Power]]s, were essentially that game's version of Red Lums.

Red Lums are the embodiment of vitality, and the origin of all life in [[the Glade of Dreams]].

Red Lums are unique in that, if spooked, a Red Lum will undergo a transformation into a [[Black Lum]] – which is a major part of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'''s plot.

Red Lums recover [[Rayman]]'s health. In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', if Rayman is injured, nearby Red Lums automatically approach him. [[Robo-Pirate]]s love Red Lums and collect every Red Lum they can find. It seems that the Robo-Pirates actually eat them; when Rayman destroys a Robo-Pirate, Red Lums are often found inside them. Similarly, the defeat of a [[Hoodlum]] in ''Rayman 3'' releases a Black Lums. If Rayman uses [[Grimace]] on a Black Lum, it will revert back into a Red Lum. In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 2'']], a Red Lum completely restores Rayman's health.

In the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', [[Admiral Razorbeard]] eats a Red Lum instead of the [[Yellow Lum]] he eats in the other versions.


In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', [[the Glade of Dreams]] is attacked by an army of [[Hoodlum]]s, sack-cloth creatures piloted by [[Black Lum]]s. Each of these Black Lums – including their leader, [[André]] – is a corrupted Red Lum.
In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman 2'']], a Red Lum completely restores Rayman's health.


Red Lums appear in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. In this game, they resemble red [[Ting]]s. As in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', these Red Lums restore [[Rayman]]'s health when he collects them.

In the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', [[Admiral Razorbeard]] eats a Red Lum instead of the [[Yellow Lum]] he eats in the other versions, due to there being only 800 [[Yellow Lums]] instead of the usual 1000.
