'''Spinneroos''', also known as a '''Hoodlocks''' or '''Kagguards''', are large, grey [[Hoodlum]]s who allegedly worked as prison guards. They wear chain-mail and carry heavy cannonballs as malicious attacking weapons for any who try to bypass. These are casually wielded back and forth in normal gameplay but vigorously spun as the Spinneroo rotates in attack. The first Spinneroo is encountered in the second part of [[the Bog of Murk]].

The '''Spinneroo''' (also known as a '''Hoodlock''' or '''Kagguard''') is a large, grey [[Hoodlum]] who allegedly worked as a prison guard.  These Hoodlums carry heavy canonballs as malicious attacking weapons for any who try to bypass.  These are casually wielded back and forth in normal gameplay but vigorously spun as the Spinneroo rotates in attack.
These [[Hoodlum]]s typically act as barriers or blockages to paths. Fortunately, they are fairly light in weight and can be shifted backwards by simple shots - the Spinneroo is conventionally defeated by falling in marshland or lava, after being given several consecutive fists. A fully powered [[Heavy Metal Fist]] is also sufficient to defeat a Hoodlock.
 
Spinneroos also appear in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the handheld adaptation of ''Rayman 3'']]. In this game, they patrol back and forth on platforms, and [[Rayman]] must use his body-slam power to break the wooden walkways they use, thus killing them in a similar fashion to the [[Gorilla Pirate]]s of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''.

==Armed Spinneroo==
 
''Main article: [[Armed Spinneroo]]''
 
In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', Spinneroos armed with a sword and a shield can be found. Slightly more resistant than their regular counterparts, their attack pattern is also different, as they wander around and hit [[Rayman]] with their sword, leaving aside their ability to spin around uncontrollably.
