Turnip

Turnips are plants found in Rayman Legends. They are always first seen attached to the ground, with only the green leaves (called leafscrews)being visible. The heroes can then pluck them out from the ground by performing a crush attack, or in the Wii U, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo Switch versions of the game, by using Murfy to pull it out. The turnip will then land on the ground, stunned, allowing the heroes to hit it for Lums. The blue turnips can produce purple Lums if hit in mid-air, while the pink turnips produce a heart when hit. Not all green leaves are connected to turnips. Some will bring up an enemy or a cage containing a Teensie or Lums.

Trivia

The turnips are very reminiscent of the vegetables in Super Mario Bros. 2 , which Mario and other playable characters can dig up by pulling them by their leaves and then throw at enemies. The developers of Rayman Legends were probably inspired by this when creating the turnips.
