They are somewhat maniacal and can often be seen laughing crazily and juggling their explosives. However, despite outward appearances, Hoodbooms are considered to be the most intelligent of all [[Hoodlum]]s, as they are the only ones able to count to three. Hoodbooms are also known to write poetry; one Hoodboom wrote an anthology called 'Don't Take It Anti-Personnelly' which proved quite popular with other [[Hoodlum]]s, having sold well over three copies. | They are somewhat maniacal and can often be seen laughing crazily and juggling their explosives.

Hoodbooms often stand in high places where they cannot be reached without the aid of the [[Shock Rocket]]; they usually laugh in their high-pitched voices while throwing bombs down towards [[Rayman]]. However, even grounded Hoodbooms are not easy to defeat; they are twice as [[Resistance|resistant]] as [[Hoodmonger]]s, and when [[Telescopic fist|punched]], they grow angry and begin to throw a large number of jugs at once, making it difficult to avoid being damaged by them. Some Hoodbooms stand on stilts in order to avoid attacks, but are susceptible to being brought down by the [[Vortex]] [[Telescopic fist|fist]]. These are known as [[Stumbleboom]]s. | Hoodbooms often stand in high places where they cannot be reached without the aid of the [[Shock Rocket]]; they usually laugh in their high-pitched voices while throwing bombs down towards [[Rayman]].
