Lums, as they appear in Rayman Origins
Crafty little wizards in an array of disguises. Teensies have got flair! The Teensies’ innate talent for nocturnal schnoz-ballads comes quite simply from the Creator himself in the form of imposing noses. And bubble me if we haven’t seen the Teensies spin some wicked spells over the years! Their magnificent nostrils make them highly sensitive to the subtle harmonies of magic; and everyone knows Teensy magicians can sniff out the secrets of our world like nobody’s business! The Teensies are a cast of quick casters who have a proud history of producing many scrappy and memorable, not to mention well-dressed, fighters. (Teensies like to dress up and have treefuls of disguises.) You will be able to play as some of their most illustrious ancestors!

A Lum is a small body (or shard) of magical energy which is found in the Rayman games starting from Rayman 2. Generally, there are six different types of Lums that are determined by colour, though in Rayman 3 there is the existence of Black Lums. They usually appear as small lights with insect-like wings, though in Rayman M and the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman 3, Lums look like crystal balls. The name is derived from the French word 'lumière', which means 'light'. Lums in Rayman Kart look like piles of gold money and there are roughly two million of them. In Rayman Origins they will bear limbs, eyes and a mouth and will serve as a currency in the Glade of Dreams.
