Nookin

A Nookin in the Tower of the Leptys

Before the Hoodlums invaded, the Nookins lived happily, tucked underground near the volcanic core. Unfortunately, this was the perfect place for a Hoodlum factory, and the Nookins soon found themselves, and their treasured ukuleles, kicked to the curb.

—Press release, Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc

The Nookins are a volcano-dwelling tribe of Teensies found in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. They are encountered in the Hoodlum Headquarters and the Tower of the Leptys. They also appear in the handheld version of the game, sleeping or dancing at the end of every world. The player cannot interact with them.

The way they talk is similiar to the way steroetypical Jamaicans speak, usually adding 'mon' on the end of their phrases, such as 'I have to go finish inventing chocolate toothpaste, mon'.
