'''Spinneroos''', also known as a '''Hoodlocks''' or '''Kagguards''', are large, grey [[Hoodlum]]s who wear chain-mail and carry heavy cannonballs as malicious attacking weapons for any who try to bypass their territory. These are casually wielded back and forth in normal gameplay but vigorously spun as the Spinneroo rotates in attack. The first Spinneroo is encountered in the second part of [[the Bog of Murk]].

These [[Hoodlum]]s typically act as barriers or blockages to paths. Fortunately, they are fairly light in weight and can be shifted backwards by simple shots - the Spinneroo is conventionally defeated by falling in marshland or lava, after being given several consecutive fists. A fully powered [[Heavy Metal Fist]] is also sufficient to defeat a Hoodlock. The clanging sound effect they emit upon defeat is the same as that of the Robo-Pirates in ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

Spinneroos also appear in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the handheld adaptation of ''Rayman 3'']]. In this game, they patrol back and forth on platforms, and [[Rayman]] must use his body-slam power to break the wooden walkways they use, thus killing them in a similar fashion to the [[Gorilla Pirate]]s of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.
