Hooskis are characters that first appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. They appear as brown variants of Hoohooligans from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and bear a strong resemblance to 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. Hoohooligans tend to sprinkle the word "hoo" throughout their sentences.
One particular Hooski is the subject of a trading quest in Wakeport; Mario and Luigi must trade items with the inhabitants of Wakeport in order to acquire an appropriate proposal gift for him so he can propose to a female Hooski.
