'''Hoodloons''', also known as '''Flapoteurs''', are harmless flying [[Hoodlum]]s which appears in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

Line 15:

The Hoodloon's costume is equipped with bat-like wings. They are so obsessed with their ability to fly that they spurn battle in favour of being “superheroes”. One Hoodloon appears briefly in [[the Summit Beyond the Clouds]], where it is seen playing at being a superhero by lifting [[Hoodlum]]s with its mouth while flying.

~~At an early point in ''[[Rayman 3]]''~~'s [[Rayman 3 (early production)|development]], the Hoodloon, then known as Cagouflap (also spelled Kagouflap) and the [[Hoodstormer]], then known as Cagoustic (also spelled Kagustick), two flying [[Hoodlum]]s, were both present as enemies in the game. The Hoodloon would have actively attacked [[Rayman]]: equipped with a metal helmet, ~~it would fly above him~~, dealing out devastating ~~‘ball strikes’~~. However, there was one obvious presentation problem with the character, linked to the choice of cameras. Furthermore, choices had to be made ~~by [[Ubisoft|the developers]]~~ from all the [[Hoodlum]]s on offer and, in the end, the ~~Hoodloon~~ [[~~Rayman 3 (early production)~~|~~was cut from the game~~]]~~, with~~ the ~~exception of [[the Summit Beyond the Clouds]], where it does not attack~~ [[~~Rayman~~]]~~, so the limits of the camera are not particularly relevant to it.~~

At an early point in ''[[Rayman 3]]'''s [[Rayman 3 (early production)|development]], the Hoodloon (then known as Kagouflap) was planned to be a defeatable enemy. Like the [[Kagoubinôme]] and the [[Scaleman|Kagalpha]], a 3D model was made of this [[Hoodlum]].
