'' | ''‘It's hard to say where exactly the Hoodbooms' allegiances lie: with [[André|the Dark Lum Lord]] or with the firebombs they crave to set off. Striving to create the biggest explosion ever recorded, Hoodbooms craft explosives with a demolitionist's skill, only to detonate them with a maniac's glee. It's no wonder Hoodbooms can turn almost any household item into a high explosive, their favourite being a jug of [[plum juice]].’'' —official description | ||

Hoodbooms are a similar shape to [[Hoodblaster]]s, but feature bright red-and-yellow colouring and a distinctive head, from which a pillar of smoke occasionally billows. Rather than the crude blunderbusses used by their Hoodblaster brethren, Hoodbooms arm themselves with explosive Molotov Cocktails made from [[plum]] [[plum juice|juice]] which they can throw over great distances | Hoodbooms are a similar shape to [[Hoodblaster]]s, but feature bright red-and-yellow colouring, a scarecrow grin and a distinctive, scorched head, from which a pillar of smoke occasionally billows. Rather than the crude blunderbusses used by their Hoodblaster brethren, Hoodbooms arm themselves with explosive Molotov Cocktails made from [[plum]] [[plum juice|juice]], which they can throw over great distances. They always carry a large number of them on a strap around their torso. In the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], Hoodbooms are also produced by [[the Horrible Machine]], two at a time. | ||
Hoodbooms | 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; Hoodbooms are more [[resistance|resistant]] than Hoodmongers, and when [[telescopic fist|punched]], they grow angry and begin to throw a large number of cocktails 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 Fist]]. These are known as [[Stumbleboom]]s. | Some Hoodbooms stand on stilts in order to avoid attacks, but are susceptible to being brought down by the [[Vortex Fist]].
