==Description==
[[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 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.
