A '''Hoodoo''' is an enemy in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', and is an elite member of the [[Hoodlum]] Army. Made of the finest fabrics the [[Black Lum]]s could find, they are elitist sorcerers, who use their magic to protect other Hoodlums from [[Rayman]]'s attacks, instead of using weapons to attack. They are characterised as being tall and thin with a knot in the lower part of their clock, which is purple with yellow moons and stars. Their head is covered in a yellow and green veil. Uncommon, the first ones were found in the [[Land of the Livid Dead]].

A '''Hoodoo''', also known as '''Kagousorcerer''', is an enemy in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', and an elite member of the [[Hoodlum]] army. Made of the finest fabrics the [[Black Lum]]s could find, they are elitist sorcerers, who use their magic to protect other [[Hoodlum]]s from [[Rayman]]'s attacks, instead of using weapons to attack. They are characterised as being tall and thin with a knot in the lower part of their cloak, which is purple with yellow moons and stars, similar to the hats worn by [[Polokus]] and [[Jano]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. A Hoodoo's head is covered in a yellow and green veil. One of the more uncommon [[Hoodlum]] varieties, the first Hoodoos are encountered in [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]].

A few Hoodlums may seem to be open for Rayman to attack, but if he tries, a forcefield will appear for a brief moment, and that is when the Hoodoo becomes visible. This is the best time to hit them, as they will disappear and cannot be attacked them; they will only reappear if Rayman tries to attack the other Hoodlum again. The Hoodoo has to be defeated first before Rayman can move on to the other.

The forcefield surrounding the enemy can be a weapon as well if the player runs into it. Sometimes the enemy moves into [[Rayman]]'s path and hits him with the forcefield as well as shooting at him. Being hit multiple times in the same go can potentially kill [[Rayman]].
 
At [[Rayman 3 (early production)|an early point in the game's development]], Hoodoos also had the ability to shoot fireballs, and to catch [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]] and block it temporarily. It was decided by [[Ubisoft|the developers]] that being able to simultaneously attack [[Rayman]], neuturalise [[Rayman]]'s own attacking ability and defend other [[Hoodlum]]s for [[Rayman]] made the Hoodoos too powerful and confusing, so all of their abilities were removed, with the exception of their forcefield generation.

The forcefield surrounding the enemy can be a weapon as well if you run into it. Sometimes the enemy moves into your path and hits you with the forcefield as well as shooting at you. Being hit multiple times in the same go can potentially kill you.
