A nameless species of Hoodlum with the wooden shield of a Grim Keeper and the body of a [[Hoodboom]] appears in the first part of [[Hoodlum Hideout]] and is shown throwing explosive bottles of [[plum juice]] at Rayman. This Hoodlum has a very different battle strategy because of its new weapon and needs to be dispatched in a different way. The shield can be destroyed in two shots from Rayman's [[telescopic fist]], afterwards, the helpless Hoodlum carries on throwing Molotov cocktails but needs only one hit to be killed. A similar enemy like this one can be found in the second part of the level. These Hoodlums throw Molotovs like the ones in the previous segment, but unlike the last ones, these carry an inpenetrable metal shield. As they block all of Rayman's shots, a different approach is needed; Rayman must shoot the lower part of the Hoodlum's torso to make it stop blocking its head or to hit the head first, attacking its torso when it is visible. Rayman must hit these Hoodlums twice anywhere in order for them to be defeated.
