A '''Ludiv''' is a type of [[fairy]] found in [[Rayman]]'s [[The 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]]''. However, it is never confirmed whether or not she is one.

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

A Ludiv (referred to only as a "pretty little [[fairy]]") appears in the [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus stages]] unlocked at the end of each level in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' by finding all the level's [[Yellow Lum]]s and breaking all its [[cage]]s. In these [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus stages]], the player controls a [[baby Globox]], which must race against the [[Spyglass Pirate]] to get to the Ludiv first. If the player wins the race, the Ludiv ~~can~~ grant [[Rayman]] gifts (health and/or [[Power Fist]]s). In the PlayStation version of the game, Ludivs are imprisoned in [[cage]]s by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, along with [[greenbottle]]s and [[Minisaurus|Denys]]. When [[Rayman]] frees Ludivs, hearts appear over their heads in a manner which recalls the [[Electoon]]s from [[Rayman 1|the previous game]].

The most notable appearance of the Ludiv is in [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|the PlayStation version]], ~~where~~ [[~~Rayman~~]] ~~must free them from~~ [[~~cage~~]]s, along with [[Minisaurus|Denys]] ~~and~~ [[~~greenbottle~~]]s. The manual for this version of the game states that it is said that Ludivs are short-sighted and that they wear glasses. Without them, they'd end up stuck, lost and knocked to the ground.

==Trivia==

* Of the three creatures that can be freed from [[cage]]s in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' (not counting the [[Teensie]]s), Ludivs are the only race to ~~not~~ have an alternative name ~~(although are notably only referred to as Ludivs in the PlayStation version of ''[[Rayman 2]]'')~~ as [[greenbottle]]s are referred to as "Murfies" in the PlayStation ''[[Rayman 2]]'' manual and [[Minisaurus|Denys]] are referred to as Minisaurus in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''.

* The name comes from "Ludivine", the name of the daughter of the person who designed it.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 3 - Rayman 2 : The Great Escape, or the challenge of the 3D</ref>

* The manual for [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'']] refers to the Ludivs as being shortsighted, hence why they wear spectacles. However, no Ludiv has ever been shown to wear spectacles in-game, and none have ever displayed a sight problem.

* The manual for [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|the PlayStation version of ''Rayman 2'']] also refers to the Ludivs as male, as in the entry for the [[~~Greenbottle~~]]s (or ~~Murphys~~) it states that "''More than one Ludiv has fallen victim to [the ~~Murphys~~'] pranks and been stripped of his pair of spectacles''". However, all Ludivs shown in game appear to be female. It is, of course, possible that male Ludivs exist, which might also explain the spectacle discrepancy described above, as it may only be the males who are shortsighted.
