The Hoodlums have a gift for transforming objects into terrifying weapons - here, a seatless toilet.

—In-game description, Rayman 3

Hecklers are trigger-happy, armed to the teeth, and plagued by a wicked case of armor rash. Not a good combination for any creature that happens upon these halfcocked enforcers. Add to this a strange affinity for turtles and a lack of short-term memory, and you've got one high-caliber hooligan. A Heckler's true happiness is a warm Wild Crash cannon, which leaves nothing left of its victims except the oddly pleasant scent of plums.

—Press release, Rayman 3

Hecklers are Hoodlums that appear in Rayman 3.

They are most recognised by their large and threatening protective shell. Made from the strongest material, it is designed to protect the cowering Hoodlum that hides within it. Naturally, this strong layer cannot be penetrated by a normal shot and so must be removed with a charged fist while using the Heavy Metal Fist detergent. Once the shell is removed, the Heckler can be attacked and is defenceless until the shell falls back into place. This enemy is one of the strongest in the entire Hoodlum army. Almost three fully charged fists, under Heavy Metal Fist influence, will need to be fired in order to defeat this enemy.

As well as the protective layer, this Hoodlum also owns a large and powerful gun (made from a seatless toilet) known as a 'Wild Crash' that is strapped to its side. By means of pulling a large chain (attached parallel to the gun itself), a series of shots will be fired in any given direction. While this attack is potent, use of it prevents any sort of movement. The Heckler is therefore forced to remain stationary while firing these consecutive shots. If Rayman strays too close to the Heckler, it picks him up and throws him onto the ground. Rayman will have a lot of trouble moving, as he moves incredibly slowly, giving the Heckler another chance to throw him. Once the Heckler has been punched to death, the protective shell can fall on Rayman and flatten him temporarily.
