A thinking mushroom. Stupid and nasty, therefore, when it gets together with others in a group.—Official description, Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc
Podocrocks are a type of mushroom enemy that appears in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc and Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge. These mushrooms gather together to form small groups of six, which block Rayman's path. By striking a group with his telescopic fist, Rayman can kill a single Podocrock, necessitating multiple punches to completely clear his pathway of them. With a fully charged Vortex Fist, he can annihilate an entire group in one hit.
In Rayman 3, Podocrocks appear in the Fairy Council and the Land of the Livid Dead. At an early point in the game's development, they were designed as two-legged, two-eyed mushroom caps with visible lamellae and were able to jump.
In Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge, Podocrocks do not appear in groups, and they can move to attack Rayman.
The Podocrocks bear a slight resemblance to the Goombas, similar mushroom enemies which appear in the Mario series.
