Hungry Lumas are pink, slightly chubby Lumas that have visible mouths (unlike regular Lumas) and appear in both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Similar to a Lumalee, Hungry Lumas are always seen carrying two sticks (one in each hand) which will either have color-changing Star Bits or coins on the end, depending on the game. When Mario finds a Hungry Luma, he must feed it a certain number of Star Bits or coins, at which point it will transform into a new planet or galaxy. Often, the player will be able to travel to the newly-created planet or galaxy via a pink Launch Star immediately after the Hungry Luma transforms, though they can also continue with the level as usual if they prefer to do so (the planet or galaxy will still be there the next time that area is visited). Hungry Lumas found throughout individual galaxies will usually require a smaller amount of Star Bits, as they only transform into planets, while Hungry Lumas that appear on the Comet Observatory or are called to Starship Mario will require larger amounts of Star Bits, as they create entire galaxies when fed.
Most of the time Hungry Lumas will also leave a Launch Star behind for Mario when they transform, allowing him to gain access to the new area. However, in Sea Slide Galaxy a certain Hungry Luma does not leave a Launch Star behind, forcing Mario to use a cannon to reach the new planet. The Sweet Sweet Galaxy and Sand Spiral Galaxy can both be reached without using the Launch Star via a glitch: after talking to the filled-up Hungry Luma to make the Launch Star appear, Flying Mario can be used to access the portals instead.
Hungry Lumas reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, serving the same purpose as they did in the original. There is one Hungry Luma in every world that can be summoned to the Starship Mario. After Mario summons them he can feed them a required number of Star Bits to unlock a new galaxy in that world. Hungry Lumas also appear in some of the games galaxies, only now requesting coins instead of Star Bits. These Hungry Lumas will also refuse to be fed unless Mario has the correct number of coins on hand.

Trivia
- There are a total of seven planet-forming Hungry Lumas as well as seven galaxy-forming Hungry Lumas in both Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. It is unknown if this was done intentionally or if this is simply a coincidence.
