'''Podocrocks''', also known as '''Spikers''' in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', are a type of [[mushroom]] enemy that appear in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''. These [[mushroom]]s gather together to form small groups of six, which block [[Rayman]]'s path. By striking a group with his [[telescopic fist]], [[Rayman]] can kill a single Podocrock, necessitating multiple punches to completely clear his pathway of them. With a fully charged fist, he can annihilate an entire group in one hit. It would even have the power to defeat nine of them at a stroke. An uncharged hit with the [[Heavy Metal Fist]] destroys five of the Podocrocks, whereas a fully charged [[Heavy Metal Fist]] has the potential to destroy 21 of them.
