Description

André, in his Hoodmonger form

Hoodmongers are the most common enemies and Hoodlums in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc and Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge. They use two types of shotguns to attack Rayman, and they can sometimes be tricked into shooting one another. They wear brown sack-clothes and hats, and their eyes are red or white. They appear in all the worlds, with the exception of the Longest Shortcut. Their final in-game appearance is in the final battle with the Leptys/Reflux, during which André spawns an army of them with the Sceptre of the Leptys.

A Hoodmonger also appears in the Wanna Kick Rayman? vignettes, which are presented as fictional instruction videos in which a Hoodmonger teaches the viewer how to kill Rayman.


Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge also features Hoodmongers, in which they fire triple pellet shots instead of their regular gun shots. Even though the projectiles are different, their attack is similar to that of the Hoodmonger Officers from the previous game.
