'''Hoodmonger Privates, First Class''', also known as '''Hoodblasters'''<ref>The name comes from the North American version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'' and [[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc: Official Strategy Guide‎|the official strategy guide of the same game]].</ref>, are musket-wielding [[Hoodlum]] sharpshooter grunts that appear in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'' and ''[[Rayman Kart]]''.

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 Officer]]s from the previous game.
