'''Spineroos''' or '''hoodlocks''' are [[Hoodlum]]s often seen blocking thin passage ways and have to be knocked into something dangerous behind them by hitting them with [[Rayman]]'s fists. If you get too close to them they will spin with their big metal balls (hence the name).

They are short and fat in appearance and can be seen wearing rusty chain mail and a metal helmet. They also hold a big metal ball in each hand. The first one is found in [[The Bog of Murk]] like in the picture.

'''Spinneroos''', also known as '''Kagguards''' or '''Hoodlocks''',<ref>The name comes from [[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc: Official Strategy Guide|the official strategy guide of ''Rayman 3'']].</ref> 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 [[Bodyshot|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]]''.

{{Main|Armed Spinneroo}}
 
In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Spinneroos armed with a sword and a shield can be found. Slightly more resistant than their regular counterparts, their attack pattern is also different, as they wander around and hit [[Rayman]] with their sword, leaving aside their ability to spin around uncontrollably.
