==General Information==


[[File:Hoodstormer1.png|left|Hoodstormer in mid-combat with Rayman in the Land of the Livid Dead part 2.]]
{{Quote|text=A particularly irritating airborne [[Hoodlum]]. Fortunately, his awkward propellers prevent him from walking.|sign=In-game description|source=''[[Rayman 3|Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''}}


The '''Hoodstormer''' is a common member of the Hoodlum Army and is most recognised for its ability to fly.  Despite being one of the smallest members, the '''Hoodstormer''' is one of the most irritating [[Hoodlums]] as its flying ability makes it difficult to attack - no direct combat can be made. In order to defeat this [[Hoodlum]], one must fire idividual lateral shots from distance.  If the attacking distance is too close, or if only normal shots are fired, the '''Hoodstormer''' will dodge the shots by vertical movement. The '''Hoodstormer''' first appears in [[The Land of the Livid Dead]], part 1.
{{Quote|text=Experts in Psychological Warfare, the airborne Hoodstormer units are superbly trained in the art of annoying enemies into submission with strategic swooping maneuvers. Commanding poor pedalling creatures to power their propellers, Hoodstormer pilots train in the swamplands to learn the attack patterns of the ultimate airborn annoyance – mosquitoes.|sign=Press release|source=''[[Rayman 3|Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''<ref>GamersHell.com, ''News: Rayman 3 even more screens'', http://www.gamershell.com/news_4870.html</ref>}}


'''Hoodstormers''' are flying [[Hoodlum]]s which appear in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.


==Attack==
Hoodstormers appear as legless Hoodlums that wear pilot glasses, attached to a propeller which allows them to stay constantly airborne. They attack [[Rayman]] from distance and often fly backwards to prevent him from getting too close. They fire three consecutive shots per round with a powerful gun box, similar to that of the [[Heckler]], which is strapped to the back of the [[Hoodlum]] and is operated in the same way: when the chain is pulled, consecutive shots will be fired at any given direction. Notably, they can move around while firing the shots.


Similarly to the [[Heckler]], the '''Hoodstormer''' has been given a powerful gun box.  This is strapped to the back of the Hoodlum and is operated in the same way: when the chain is pulled, consecutive shots will be fired at any given direction.  However unlike the [[Heckler]]'s, only three consecutive shots are fired per round.
Hoodstormers can only be defeated with lateral [[Telescopic fist|punches]], as they can dodge regular shots by vertical movement. They first appear in [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]], and feature in most following levels. In the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], Hoodstormers are also released by the [[Horrible Machine]], two at a time.


A Hoodstormer also appears in the minigame [[Commando]], where he is the mini-boss of the second stage and takes only three hits from [[Razoff]]'s gun to defeat.


==Appearance==
A much weaker version of Hoodstormers appears in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], in [[Hoodlum Hideout]], where they swoop out from above randomly, shoot only two shots and only take one hit to defeat, in a similar fashion to [[flying pirate]]s and [[bomb-launching clown]]s from [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. There are only three of these in the entire game.


Unlike the conventional [[Hoodlum]] appearance, the '''Hoodstormer''' is legless. Fortunately its propellor (fastened to the top of its helmet) eradicates this problem as the '''Hoodstormer''' is constantly airborne. This Hoodlum also wears crazy sunglasses, though this reasoning remains unclear.
''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'' also features Hoodstormers. They are noticeably weaker and fire pellet shots instead of their regular gun shots.
