'''Hooskis''' are characters that first | '''Hooskis''' are clay statue-like characters that first appeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "Hoo" (as in Hoohooligan) and "-ski", which is a Slavic suffix indicating the people belonging to the root word to which it is attached. Based on the pronunciation of the combined name, "Hooski" is most likely a pun on the term "Ruski", slang for a Russian individual. They resemble [[Hoohooligans]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' but are brown instead of green and tend to use the phrase "hoo" in their sentences. They also resemble the [[Beanish]] species. Additionally, there is a [[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team#Hooski trading quest|trading quest]] in [[Wakeport]] that involves [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] having to trade items with the inhabitants of Wakeport in order to acquire an appropriate proposal gift for a Hooski about to propose to a female Hooski, the Hooski rewarding the Bros. when successful. | ||

*Just like the Hoohooligans, Hooskis bear a strong resemblance to ''haniwa'', clay figures buried with the dead during Japan's Edo period, as well as bearing a resemblance to the Gyroids in ''Animal Crossing'', which are based, in turn, on the ''haniwa''. The Hooskis' brown skin strengthens the resemblance. | |||
