Hoodlum: Difference between revisions

The Hoodlum army is formed at the very beginning of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', when a lone [[Red Lum]] is given a terrible fright and becomes the [[Black Lum]] known as [[André]]. He then proceeds to convert many other Red Lums into Black Lums. Stealing the fur of animals such as [[Mawpaw]]s, they weave their outer bodies from cloth. They begin their invasion by launching an assault on [[the Fairy Council]], where [[the Heart of the World]] is kept; André hoped to corrupt its 1000 constituent [[Yellow Lum]]s into a more powerful army of Hoodlums. However, André was accidentally swallowed by [[Globox]] before he could reach the Heart, thus setting the events of the game into motion.

Hoodlums also appear in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']], in which [[Rayman]] must defeat both them and the [[Robo-Pirate]] minions of [[Admiral Razorbeard]]. They mostly appear in [[Hoodlum Hideout]], but [[Spinneroo]]s can be found in [[Wretched Ruins]], and [[Scaleman]] in [[Scaleman's Keep]].

Hoodlums appear once more in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', the isometric Game Boy Advance sequel to ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. In this game, it is revealed that a fragment of [[André]]'s evil spirit remained in [[Globox]]'s body. As Rayman and Globox fight against the new Hoodlum invasion, Globox gradually becomes possessed by André, who eventually transforms him into a clone of [[Reflux]].
