A Hoodboom is a type Hoodlum from Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc and remakes.

Description

Hoodbooms are a similar shape to Hoodblasters, but feature bright red and yellow colouring and a sistinctive 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 juice which they can throw over great distances, and always carry a large number of them on a strap around their torso. Hoodbooms usually stand in high places where they can't be reached without the aid of the Shock rocket. However, even grounded Hoodbooms are not easy pickings; Hoodbooms are tougher than Hoodblasters, and upon being hit get angry and throw a large number of cocktails at once, making it hard to avoid 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 stumblebooms.

Persoanality

Hoodbooms are somwhat maniacal; they can often be seen laughing crazily and juggling their explosives. However, despite outward appearances,Hoodbooms are considered to be the most intellegent of all Hoodlums, as they are the only ones able to count to three. Hoodbooms are also known to write poetry.

Appearances

Hoodbooms first appear in Rayman 3, in the level Clearleaf Forest. They then feature in every folling level, except the longest Shortcut in which there are no enemies. They also appear in some of the minigames, most notably Sentinel in which the player controls a Hoodboom guarding a tower from Knaaren with his explosives.
