The '''Podocrock''' was a type of mushroom enemy originally intended to appear in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. However, it was ultimately cut from the game. The Podocrocks' existence was only discovered by examining the unused files present on the ''Rayman 3'' disc. Nothing beyond the above quote is known about them.

'''Podocrocks''', also known as '''Spikers''' in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', are a type of [[mushroom]] enemy that appear in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''. These [[mushroom]]s gather together to form small groups of six, which block [[Rayman]]'s path. By striking a group with his [[telescopic fist]], [[Rayman]] can kill a single Podocrock, necessitating multiple punches to completely clear his pathway of them. With a fully charged fist, he can annihilate an entire group in one hit. It would even have the power to defeat nine of them at a stroke. An uncharged hit with the [[Heavy Metal Fist]] destroys five of the Podocrocks, whereas a fully charged [[Heavy Metal Fist]] has the potential to destroy 21 of them.
 
In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', Podocrocks appear in [[the Fairy Council]] and [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]]. At [[Rayman 3 (early production)|an early point in the game's development]], they were designed as two-legged, two-eyed [[mushroom]] caps with visible lamellae and were able to jump.
 
In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Podocrocks do not appear in groups, and they can move to attack [[Rayman]].
 
The Podocrocks bear a slight resemblance to the [[Goomba]]s, similar mushroom enemies which appear in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_%28series%29 ''Mario'' series].

==Trivia==
*Purple Podocrocks appear in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Nintendo DS, early production)|the prototype for the DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], likely as a placeholder.
