Swingman
The Swingman is a creature that appears in Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, Rayman Jungle Run, and Rayman Fiesta Run.
Description
Swingmen have a similar role in the game to flying rings in the original Rayman game, Purple Lums in Rayman 2 and the flying hooks from Rayman 3; they are used by the heroes in order to swing, helping them reach places they can not reach by jumping alone. They are flying blue blob-like creatures with a small purple hat and angel-like wings, protruding swinging arms which the heroes can grab onto as they approach one.
In Rayman Origins
Swingemen can protrude up to four arms at a time, one arm for each hero. Unlike the Fakirs and swinging vines, Swingmen have a more predictable management in multiplayer mode, as both the Fakirs and swinging vines require various players to control one single swinging element, while the Swingmen's multiple arms allow each hero to have their own swinging element; however, the Swingmen move their arms automatically, and cannot be controlled by the heroes manually.
