A Hoodloon (also known as Kagustick and Flapoteur) is a type of harmless flying Hoodlum in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc whose costume is equipped with bat-like wings. The Hoodloons are so obsessed with their ability to fly that they spurn battle in favour of being "superheroes". The Hoodloon appears briefly in the Summit Beyond the Clouds, where it is seen playing at being a superhero by lifting Hoodlums with its mouth while flying. It is possible althoug very hard to hit the Hoodloon.

At one point in the game's development, the Hoodloon was known as the Kagalpha, and it would actively attack Rayman. Its attack was fairly simple: equipped with a metal helmet, it would fly above Rayman, dealing out devastating "ball strikes". However, there was one obvious presentation problem with the character, linked to the choice of cameras. Furthermore, choices had to be made by the developers from all the Hoodlums on offer and, in the end, it was the Kagustick who was retained in preference to the Kagouflap. The difference between the two is the colour and the metal helmet.
