'''Hoodloons''', also known as '''Flapoteurs''', are harmless flying [[Hoodlum]]s which appears in ''[[Rayman 3|Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''.

The Hoodloon's costume is equipped with bat-like wings. They are so obsessed with their ability to fly that they spurn battle in favour of being “superheroes”. One Hoodloon appears briefly in [[the Summit Beyond the Clouds]], where it is seen playing at being a superhero by lifting Hoodlums with its mouth while flying.

At an early point in ''[[Rayman 3]]'''s development, the Hoodloon, then known as Cagouflap (also spelled Kagouflap) and the [[Hoodstormer]], then known as Cagoustic (also spelled Kagustick), two flying [[Hoodlum]]s, were both present as enemies in the game. The Hoodloon would have actively attacked [[Rayman]]: equipped with a metal helmet, it would fly above him, dealing out devastating ‘ball strikes’. However, there was one obvious presentation problem with the character, linked to the choice of cameras. Furthermore, choices had to be made by [[Ubisoft|the developers]] from all the Hoodlums on offer and, in the end, the Hoodloon was cut from the game, with the exception of [[the Summit Beyond the Clouds]], where it does not attack [[Rayman]], so the limits of the camera are not particularly relevant to it.
