Summary
André (also known as The Dark Lum Lord) is one of the main antagonists in the Rayman video game series. He is the original Black Lum, the result of a Red Lum being frightened. He has the ability to corrupt other Red Lums into Black Lums by touching them; this is how he raised an army of Black Lums, which then became Hoodlums. He spends the first half of the game inside Globox's stomach after the latter accidentally swallowed him in the Fairy Council. Later, he joins forces with Reflux, fallen champion of the Knaaren, and together, they gain the power of the Leptys in the hopes of destroying Rayman and wreaking havoc throughout the Glade of Dreams.

He needs other Lums or some sort of vessel (like a Hoodlum outfit, Globox, Reflux, etc.) to put up more of a fight.
