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]] (taking its battle strategy from the [[mosquito]]es) as its flying ability makes it difficult to attack - no direct combat can be made.  In order to defeat this [[Hoodlum]], one must fire individual 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.

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 and the Hoodstormer can move around while firing the shots.

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 [[Pirate (Picture City)#Space pirates|space pirates]] and [[bomber 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 propeller (fastened to the top of its helmet) eradicates this problem as the Hoodstormer is constantly airborne.  This Hoodlum also wears pilot glasses.

Hoodstormer in mid-combat with Rayman in the Land of the Livid Dead

Hoodstormers are flying Hoodlums which appear in Rayman 3.

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.

Hoodstormers can only be defeated with lateral punches, as they can dodge regular shots by vertical movement. They first appear in 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.

An early version of the Hoodstormer

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.

A much weaker version of Hoodstormers appears in 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 space pirates and bomber clowns from the original game. There are only three of these in the entire game.
