			From there, the Hoodlum army spread their forces across the [[Glade of Dreams]], attempting to hinder [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]]'s progress however they could. Eventually, [[André]] was released from [[Globox]]'s belly and teamed up with [[Reflux]], planning to use the power of the recently-stolen [[Sceptre of the Leptys]] to multiply and create an unstoppable army of Hoodlums. However, [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] soon defeat [[Reflux]] and the former pulls a [[grimace]] to revert [[André]] back to a [[Red Lum]], ending the Hoodlum invasion.

	The '''Hoodlums''' (once called '''Kagoulards''') are an army of enemy creatures which first appeared in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. The Hoodlum army was created when the evil [[Black Lum]]s, under the leadership of the lord, [[André]], began to steal the fur from [[Bonton]]s and weave it into costumes for themselves. Hoodlums are often found sporting an assortment of weapons and powers, ranging from blunderbusses to explosive bottles of [[plum juice]], and even [[Master Kaag\|giant stomping machines]] and [[Céloche\|tripod submarines]]. They come in many shapes and sizes, and have many different strengths and weaknesses. When a Hoodlum is defeated, the [[Black Lum]] that was controlling it from the inside escapes; later on in the game, [[Rayman]] receives the power to [[grimace]], which can be used to revert these [[Black Lum]]s back into [[Red Lum]]s which [[Rayman]] can absorb for health.
