'''Hooskis''' are characters that first appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. They appear as brown variants of [[Hoohooligan]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and bear a strong resemblance to ''{{wp|Haniwa}}'', clay figures buried with the dead during Japan's Edo period. Their name is a portmanteau of "Hoo", an onomatopoeia for laughter, and "-ski", which is a Slavic suffix; it is also a pun on the term "Ruski", slang for a Russian individual. Hooskis tend to sprinkle the word "hoo" throughout their sentences. Dialogue indicates they are normally mountain-dwellers. | '''Hooskis''' are characters that first appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''.
