[[File:Charged.jpg|thumb|320px|left|A Hoodmonger]]
Hoodmongers are the most common enemies and Hoodlums in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''. They wear brown sack-clothes and hats, and their eyes are red or white. They use two types of rifles, known as Boomsticks, to attack [[Rayman]], and they can sometimes be tricked into shooting one another. In certain areas Hoodmongers can hide behind rotatable wooden shields to protect themselves. Due to a hole in the shield for their guns, they are still able to attack. Despite the protection, [[Rayman]] can defeat them with curved shots. Behind shields, Hoodmongers have a lower resistance, and give fewer points when defeated.

They use two types of shotguns to attack Rayman, and they can sometimes be tricked into shooting one another. They wear brown sack-clothes and hats, and their eyes are red or white. They appear in all the worlds, with the exception of [[the Longest Shortcut]]. Their final in-game appearance is in the final battle with [[the Leptys]]/[[Reflux]], during which [[André]] spawns an army of them with [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]].


A Hoodmonger also appears in the ''[[Wanna Kick Rayman?]]'' vignettes, which are presented as fictional instruction videos in which a Hoodmonger teaches the viewer how to kill Rayman.

''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'' also features Hoodmongers, in which they fire triple pellet shots instead of their regular gun shots. Even though the projectiles are different, their attack is similar to that of the [[Hoodmonger Officer]]s from the previous game.
