'''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.

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 Haniwa, clay figures buried with the dead during Japan's Kofun period (3rd to 6th centuries AD). Their name is a portmanteau of the onomatopoeia "hoo" and the Slavic suffix "-ski"; it is also a pun on "Russki", a slang term for Russians. Hooskis tend to sprinkle the word "hoo" throughout their sentences. Dialogue indicates they are normally mountain-dwellers.

A pair of Hooskis in Wakeport, Big Massif and Lil' Massif, teach Mario and Luigi various techniques for use in the field, such as the Spin Jump and Side Drill. Big Massif and his apprentices also serve as bosses in Dreamy Wakeport. Another Hooski, Hoolo, 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 his girlfriend, Hoola.
